What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ This is where burgers come to die and go to heaven. Perfect cook on the patty (medium rare to medium) oodles of caramelized onion, rich & flavourful mushroom sauce. Fries are skinny and crispy. Only possible improvement might be a bigger bun to hold the burger together better. Otherwise this is a gold standard burger. Kids portion is big and well prepared. Chicken strips are perfect. Freshly squeezed juice from actual fruit, locally sourced. Service was professional, friendly and fast. 100% recommended. ”
“ Thank you for a lovely meal, it was all excellent. I went with a 4 for my meal because the Halloumi salad had too much lettuce. Everything was delicious, the waitress was lovely and the music was well curated and at a good volume. The food was excellent value with generous potion sizes. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Plett! ”

“ The food was ok and they have one or two vegan options. The tables and menu cards would need some refurbishment though-they seemed quite used and it was not making a good impression. ”
