Those unassuming spots always seem to have the best food. You know, those hole-in-the-wall places that from the outside don’t look extravagant, but on the inside, you can tell they know what they’re doing.<\/p>\n

And they always seem to have a very limited menu. Think DeLorenzo’s for pizza. They don’t have a ton of options because they know what they do offer is going to blow your mind.<\/p>\n

Well, I found a place that fits this description perfectly. It’s Donkey’s Place<\/a> in Mount Holly, New Jersey. They’ve got three locations in New Jersey. One in Camden, Medford, and the aforementioned Mount Holly.<\/p>\n

Anthony Bourdain said about this place:<\/p>\n

“The best cheesesteak in the world might as well come from New Jersey.”<\/p>\n

And boy was he right.<\/p>\n

Donkey’s doesn’t do cheesesteaks in the way that you’re thinking. Their biggest difference is the roll. They do theirs on a\u00a0poppyseed kaiser roll. It makes a difference. The sandwiches are massive and packed to the brim. I got the beef steak with American cheese and added onions. Even though the sandwich was huge, I ate it all in one sitting; it was that good.<\/p>\n

Donkey’s has three menu offerings. The Regular, The Cheesesteak, and Donkey Steak Fries. Here’s their menu<\/a> if you want a better idea of each offering.<\/p>\n

They know they can offer such a limited menu because what they provide you isn’t going to leave you wanting more. It’s going to hit the spot perfectly. They do have some sides you can order too, I got the onion rings and they were phenomenal. I ate it all so fast I unfortunately didn’t snap any pictures. You’ll have to head there yourself to see just what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

After all, if this place gets that kind of praise from Anthony Bourdain, it’s good enough for me.<\/p>\n
