    The name drew me in and says it all, lots of old rock n roll stars photos, cosy atmosphere, indoor and outdoor fire places, short menu but to the point, excellent steaks with great service. What more could you ask.

    This is a hidden gem in Wilderness (Garden Route) and it's all about steak. Expect nothing less than good food and perfectly cooked cuts of beef from this family run business.

    Friendly Staff, good service. The grill bar is open to see for the public, you can and talk to the griller if you want to. All their steaks are minimum 5 weeks aged , sometimes pushing to 9 weeks. Steak was cooked perfect, tastes delicious and tender. Well priced for aged steaks.

    Yes this is the place in George when you want to eat steak. No franchise restaurant can prepare and serve a steak like Joplin's! Take the drive to Wilderness and see for yourself. Even if you don't like eating steak just go there because you will end up becoming a steak lover. Friendly service is what you will get, but the way they prepare steak is what makes them stand out!

    Such a great restaurant with delicious food, we ordered the fillet and the mixed grill and it was simply tasty, they know what they do. The prices are fair and the service is very welcoming. The town has no light between 18:00 to 20:00 and it makes a romantic atmosphere.

    You won't find a better steak along the garden route than at Joplin's steak bar! The cherry on top were the fries which were the best that we've had on our trip. All around a lovely experience

    Best meal of the year - steak, chips and a glass of wine!!! Meat was cooked to perfection (my mouth still waters) and the cut was delicious, the wine was recommended, complimented my meal so well. Apart from the food - this place is awesome, Joplin- after Janis Joplin, a great recipe for a great time - good food 'n rock n roll - and the team behind it all make this resto one on my favorite favorites EVER.

    (Translated by Google) Four times South Africa, four times Joplins. Disappointed last year, unfortunately only one point for today. Sorry, but nothing was right .... Reservation for out side repeatedly failed, table inside very uneasy, meat on our plates interchanged ... There was actually no service. Even when the house is full, the service should not be neglected, we will try again because we just love the atmosphere outside. (Original) Vier mal Südafrika, vier mal Joplins. Voriges Jahr schon enttäuscht, für heute leider nur einen Punkt . Sorry, aber es hat nix gestimmt....Reservierung für Out side wiederholt nicht geklappt, Tisch innen sehr unruhig, Fleisch auf unseren Tellern vertauscht ...Service gab es eigentlich nicht. Auch bei vollem Haus darf der Service nicht ganz vernachlässigt werden.Wir werden es noch einmal versuchen,da wir die Atmosphäre draußen einfach lieben .

    (Translated by Google) Recommendation of the very friendly waiter: T-bone fillet steak 300 g. I got about 230 g bone and 70 g steak. The meat was good but from the crowd a joke, so I ordered on request of the female waitress two desserts to leave the premises. Everything was fully charged despite the complaint and the tip directly withheld. Too bad that the service was so disinterested and so acted on instructions of your boss. (Original) Empfehlung des sehr freundlichen Kellners:T-bone-Filetsteak 300 g. Erhalten habe ich ca. 230 g Bone und 70 g Steak. Das Fleisch war gut aber von der Menge her ein Scherz, daher habe ich auf Nachfrage der weiblichen Bedienung zwei Desserts bestellt um Lokal zu verlassen. Es wurde alles voll berechnet trotz Beschwerde und das Trinkgeld direkt mit einbehalten. Schade dass die Bedienung so desinteressiert und auf Anweisung Ihres Chefs so gehandelt hat.

  • 3/5 Jacky J. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the most professional service! We had the impression that they were in a hurry to get rid of us so that the table might be given to someone else. So make a reservation ahead of time. There isn't a lot of food and drinks to select from. Although the cuisine was not bad, it could have been better!

  • 5/5 Arno C. 1 year ago on Google
    We were referred to try Joplins by a local and it was a great experience, they focus on steak and it shows. Great taste and friendly service. A great spot with good atmosphere and a really well cooked steak.

  • 5/5 Andre J. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a fillet steak tonight having last had a steak here a few years ago. The food is wholesome and prepared exceptionally well. Very Welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Thank you Gareth and staff. Money well spent .

  • 4/5 Lynda B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lamb chops were very tender. Chips were amazing but we thought the salad was a bit small for R40. We ordered two steel works. My husband's was almost twice the size of mine yet they charged the same price for both R50 each. Not quite right. Over all the meal was simple but very well cooked. We never received the complimentary drink. Parking was difficult. This was our first dining experience at joplins.

  • 5/5 Escalator J. 1 year ago on Google
    Clearly quality over quantity. Amazing steaks and the vegetarian option is really good. Deserts where homemade, and you can tell that in every single menu item thought was put into. Great experience would recommend!

  • 4/5 Carol M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Relaxed pub atmosphere with a delicious selection of meat. Food is priced a little high but orders are served as requested. An overall enjoyable evening dinner.

    Great food, high quality meats, no fuss service, dom predos like they are supposed to be... Thx Golden Oldies 80's Playlist. Fun for a music quiz night at the table.

  • 5/5 Marius S. 4 months ago on Google
    World class steaks and service ... atmosphere needs urgent upgrade just to to justify food and service . If they spend on this they will be a huge Wilderness attraction.

  • 5/5 Eddie Du P. 3 years ago on Google
    Love these guys. A simple steak and chips done to perfection. Aiden and Gareth, the two chefs and owners, is a Father and Son dream team and such an inspiration to witness. Big up guys you'll see us many more times. Surfs up dudes

    (Translated by Google) We were recommended Joplins by our host ... and rightly so! We were here both evenings in our 2 day stay in Wilderness; and this at the time of load shredding. However, this did not detract from the whole, on the contrary. The restaurant was comfortably lit with candles and the meat was prepared on the grill anyway. So everything worked. The staff is nice, friendly and courteous. We also had nice conversations ... The food is remarkably tasty and cooked to the point! Sure, there is no coffee or hot chocolate sauce for dessert without electricity, but it doesn't hurt overall! Cheesecake is cold anyway and brownies can also be eaten cold :) Really an express recommendation and (still) a good insider tip! We will be back definitely! (Original) Uns wurde das Joplins von unserem Host empfohlen... Und das vollkommen zu recht! Wir waren in unserem 2-tägigen Aufenthalt in Wilderness gleich beide Abende hier; und das zu Zeiten des Load-Shreddings. Das tat dem ganzen aber keinen Abbruch, eher im Gegenteil. Das Restaurant war gemütlich mit Kerzen beleuchtet und das Fleisch wird eh auf dem Grill zubereitet. Es hat also alles funktioniert. Das Personal ist nett, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten auch nette Gespräche... Das Essen ist bemerkenswert lecker und auf den Punkt zubereitet! Klar, dass es ohne Strom keinen Kaffe oder heiße Schokosoße zum Nachtisch gibt, das tut gem ganzen aber nicht weh! Käsekuchen ist eh kalt und Brownies kann man auch kalt essen :) Echt eine ausdrückliche Empfehlung und (noch) ein guter Insidertipp! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

    (Translated by Google) The Joplins is a real secret, the staff is very attentive, friendly and not pushy. The food is simply awesome, the meat melts on the tongue, grilled to the point, of the highest quality what you can taste! for me this is Joplins TOP 5 stars PLUS (Original) Das Joplins ist ein echter Geheimt(r)ip, das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und nicht aufdringlich. Das Essen ist einfach der Hammer, das Fleisch zergeht auf der Zunge, auf den Punkt gegrillt, von höchster Qualität was man auch schmeckt! für mich ist das Joplins TOP 5 Sterne PLUS

    What a meal! The food was exceptional. Quality produce, the steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was absolutely amazing. Our food was delivered straight to our dock by the owners who clearly take a lot of pride in both their food and their friendly service. I cannot wait to order again, thanks so much!
