    Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.

    Never come here. Waiters are ignorant. You wait for 40 minutes until you're served and another 1 and a half hours waiting for a simple burger. The food is messy and their fries makes you feel like you're eating crinkle cuts... The place just sucks😭😭😭😭

    Enjoyed myself there. When my friend expressed feeling cold, our waiter was quick to close the sails to make sure we were warm. Lovely and efficient service as always.

    The service is poor,I think they need go through training on how to handle customers nd they don’t even introduce themselves we cannot come all the ways from joburg to recieve bad service

  • 3/5 David K. 2 years ago on Google
    The place and it's immediate environment are deteriorating. Three years ago I'd have said five stars. The service was a little slow but that could have been due to staff shortages. Although the municipality is supposed to clean up around you it would not hurt for you to invest in your property by cleaning up where they fail. Your immediate surrounding 20m radius from the walls determines the atmosphere. For a beachfront place I'd say it is disappointing compared to Port Elizabeth beachfront restaurants. The food however was really nice ordered a basket and the portion was insane in a good way. I hope things improve it would be truly disappointing if they don't. Broken beer bottles appeal to nobody. Again not the restaurant's fault but community service initiatives don't go unnoticed and people will pay more for food and drink if they can feel the five star vibe.

    The sea views are very nice, ok let me talk about their affordable food and the food is just good and you get full. Check it on my YouTube channel Sizakhe Tongo on my Workcation video you will see what I am talking about.

    Perfect location with a good view and very nice dishes... Was just disappointed with a waitress who had a really bad attitude. Asked for the price of a castle lite draught and she tells me to go ask the barman while walking away! Am sure she was just having a bad day but still....

  • 4/5 Lancent M. 1 year ago on Google
    The is a nice place place for a afternoon drink, with some wings and ribs on the side. The service and vibe is on point. The venue itself looks like it needs a little TLC.

    Adheres to covid 19 regulations, speedy service and food is affordable 😍😋 Their service was excellent, i called for reserving a table at the VIP section and the guy gave me the email to request my reservations to. I arrived an hour late thinking that the table is gone, kanti no bakithi it's still reserved 😂😂💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. The waitress was very kind and doing her best to serve us right. I'm just happy with everything, I'm definitely visiting again and again and again.

  • 4/5 Yonwaba M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Babalwa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Dealt with a Very bad waitress who was rude and replied as if she owned the Place, Even after I informed her of her attitude, She continued to be condescending and had total disregard of how she replied to us.. Your Waitresses really need People Skills

  • 4/5 mzoxolo m. 2 years ago on Google
    Great to be there in this pandemic in level 1 restrictions. I've missed the place and the surroundings.

  • 4/5 Christopher A. 2 years ago on Google
    Big enough parking for you and your friends.. Lively vibe and great service on the night that we went prices are a bit extreme (for booze), but the food was fantastic.. Right next to the beach so the view is incredible and they do accommodate the handicapped with ramps

  • 4/5 connie v. 8 months ago on Google
    It was very lovely. Would have love to get better service though. Waitress does not come to your table. Ather than that it's a cool place if you want to chill near the sea.
