Fuat Haidar

Electric blues was fantastic but when it's crowded , waiters might not give a damn about you :) still they are nice.

Ryan Gibson

Heavy metal hot wings tell them you will send it back if its not hot enough and then enjoy great hot wings after that... And chicken fajita all good.

Ryan Gibson

Heavy metal hickory BBQ wings tell them to make it hot or you will send it back. Awesome... Great potato skinss but the chef didn't clean the potatoes so a bit gritty

MRGN Morgan

An awesome vibe, Great service and an interesting array of people to meet. Definitely going back soon…

Jeannie Harning

Fantastic, enthusiastic staff , great food and truly authentic Hard Rick vibe. The burgers did not disappoint!

Helen Hudson

Sign up for the rewards program and don’t forget a visit to the shop

Clint

Excellent burgers but R109, seriously? Was told by the host they leave tables unoccupied because the kitchen can't handle it but I'm welcome to sit at the bar and order food, and that makes sense?

Adrian Green

Really great food, amazing vibe and thoroughly enjoyable for a night out. Be prepared to wait though

Tyrone Grgurin

First time here & after a fantastic welcome we then waited 15min for the waiter to come & tell us that they didn't have raspberries for the cocktail we ordered. 30min later & we still don't have them.

Murat

Located in the business district, staff is very friendly and nice. Standard HardRock.

Jason K

New menu, try the trio - ribs , pulled pork and chicken .

Sharon Dreyer

The nachos is amazing bit massive!!! A full portion is enough for two

Chantelle Horn

Everything is drenched in artificially flavoured sauce. Wouldn't eat here again. Great location though on a beautiful day.

Don't trust the menu when it tells you the bacon will be crispy . I've been duped!

Mahaveer Chavda

Nachos and potato skins are great for vegetarians its a pity each and every time poor service!!

Alon Berman

A great place for tourists as they don't expect clientele to return!

Helen Hudson

Cute shop but they don't see jackets ... probably too expensive here.

Karl Smit

Really enjoyed the chicken wing starter

Mahaveer Chavda

Great food but waited ages for food !!???

Chris F

Terrible service. The manager came with a bs story about the credit card machine not working. Can I go a draw cash from the ATM and settle my bill. Dodgy AF! Be aware.

Colin

Live music on Saturdays. Rock of course. \m/ \m/

Sorin Lascu

Somehow same feeling. Very expensive with a average quality of food. Mojito was a joke, no alkohol in it. but they brought another one. Take away should be packed by customers, thats real outsourcing

Melissa Naidoo

Absolutely Awesome!! Cant wait for our next visit:)

Karishma Rammanhor

Good vibe. Above average preparation of steaks . Would not recommend the platters.

Rene Jose Fernandes

Aalia Kara

Nachos Spring rolls & live music

Burgers were overcooked and for the price, R109.00, I expected way better. Other than that, great vibe

Abdullah

Amazing Night Life

Terence Barkhuizen

Good food great vibe

Sonya Seegers

Don't bother. That was my first time and my last. Terrible service, they charged for items I didn't order, food average for the steep price. I get better value for money at Dukes burgers . What a joke!

Anna Fülöp

Meee. Lol i dont really know

Khulani Ndlovu

Place is frikin awesome, :)

Willem Venter

Good burgers

Douglas Allanson

The food is ok but overpriced. You can honestly get a superior burger for a better price next door at Trumps.

Jonathan Banks

Food very average. Overpriced (R109 for a burger !) raw onion rings , potatoe wedges from the freezer... All in all very average but very expensive

Lloyd Loots

Terrible service. Host at the door is arrogant and rude. Told to wait for 30 minutes for a table whilst there are dozens empty tables with no clients.

Rijneesh B

Service was crap, orders were wrong, new venue and the lavatories were broken, serving drinks took long as well
