I am amazed that your picture shows prawns. Their steak is just wondersful and what the place is known for. Brilliant food and service - I NEVER turn down an invite - and the prices are not outrageous considering some of their competition!

Real meat, real steak excellently done with a flavorful mushroom sauce. The Boerewors spicy sausage makes for an interesting starter. Highly rcommended if you're in the area and looking for a great steak. The wine list is also good.

Been there several times and have never been disappointed with the service or the meal. Steaks are the best in Johannesburg.

We took my folks to the grill house for a Mother's Day dinner. Aside from my moms steak being cold, and everyone else's food being extremely mediocre, the service was absolutely horrific. Over the course of the meal we asked the manager for assistance 3 times as our waiter was just never around. All in all it was a pretty... More

I ordered the fillet on the bone as it was recommended to me by so many people. However I found my meal disapointing. The service on the other hand was execptionally good.

Maybe it is because I am a jaded American but this restaurant is the equivalent of a mid-price chain steakhouse in the U.S. (I.e. Lonestar Steakhouse). Service was very good but the food was average at best. I ordered shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and it was 10 defrosted strip swimming in a pink sauce, not what I was expecting.... More
