Found the restaurant on google and based on the website, we decided to celebrate birthday's. Being from Durban, the restaurant was slightly difficult to find based on WAZE. Parking is very inconvenient as we had to walk in heels to the restaurant which was a good walk away. Upon the elevator doors opening, the restaurant is beautiful, well lit and spacious. we where escorted to our table and asked immediately to place our drink orders. Once the drinks arrived we where asked to place our orders. the waiter insisted we place our starters and mains at the same time. We asked the waiter for his suggestions and ironically he pushed the most expensive meals down our throat, R900 for a steak sheesh dairy cow or not that is a bit much! However we managed to order what WE wanted. The prawn and avo starter is absolutely amazing and is a must try, for my main i had the sirloin steak, was not the greatest but was good. The dessert menu then came, and i had to remind the waiter that we where celebrating two birthdays'. I made a reservation and sent a follow up email to confirm this. I was a bit annoyed with having to remind the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday in front of the people who where celebrating their birthdays. We received ice cream with a card. We also had the ice cream cookie, nothing extraordinary, but the cinnamon meringue is amazing.Visit for the experience, and Instagram photo but nothing would really make me want to return.

On holiday, we decided to visit the nearest Spur. What an unpleasant visit. On a hot evening, air conditioning not working and no alcoholic cold drinks available. The meat dish consisting of steak, wors, ribs and chicken with veg was dry and unpleasant. Fortunately I was passing through Johannesburg and will not be frequenting this place in futureDear burgerjp,Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. We're so sorry to hear that this was your experience. That certainly doesn't sound like the level of food quality we pride ourselves on. If you wouldn't mind forwarding this review on, together with your contact details to [email protected]. We'd really like the opportunity to discuss this further with you and hopefully turn it around. Kind regards,Spur Steak Ranches

The Diner Krugersdorp

Reviewed By Bruce_Barker

This restaurant has become an institution in Krugersdorp. It has a fabulously convenient location with ample parking, and plenty of seating in a combination of outdoors, indoors and even an upstairs section. The decor is almost odd, but oddly fitting, even in Krugersdorp.The staff made a plan to seat my companion and I even though they were fully booked and obviously busy. This did not compromise either the quality of the food not the service, so we were both impressed and grateful. Well Done guys.

What a great venue, ambiance, service and food. It was winter and they had fires outside to huddle around, before going in to the restaurant - a bit like going back into the past and reminded me of visiting Zimbabwe many years ago. Definitely an African theme. It’s expensive, but the food is exceptional and very personalized service, including the owners/managers. Definitely worth a visit - just do it!

The Local Grill

Best Steakhouse in South Africa awarded by The Wolftrap steakhouse championships. Offering kitchen tours and beef courses. Beef all aged on the premises and cut to order.

Reviewed By Karen S

This well established restaurant has been here some time & has a great atmosphere & friendly staff. The menu is quite extensive & caters for a variety of tastes. However, was disappointed with all the hype around the steaks from grass fed animals. Had medium rare to medium fillet steaks & found them quite tough. Must be an acquired taste.Hi KarenThank you for your review.We have an immediate exchange policy for just this reason...so sorry you have to chew through a piece of beef you didn't enjoy.After the ageing process the beef should be tender and juicy and we only select beef from farmers that are very selective and care for the well being of their bovine. If you are back in SA and have some time, please visit bus again and I will personally see to your beef experience.Wishing you many happy steaks, regards Steve.
