    If you do not try it, you won’t know what you are missing out on. The service was great, the food was so tasty and although you think that this would be the last bite, you keep going. They have generous portions and you just cant stop yourself. The food is different and take you back in time where only memories of tasting history in the old days can go. Thank you Tshego May God bless you.

    We ordered Chicken Strips, the Oxtail, and Malva Pudding for dessert...YUM. The chicken strips were lightly breaded and hot. So many sauce options left me wanting to try them all!! The monkey gland sauce was sweet and tangy and the tarter sauce was perfect with the fries. (The Ranch was spot on too!) The Oxtail was cooked to perfection...just like Mom's recipe. A true delight!! Definitely will get that again. The Malva pudding is a piece of edible art. Too bad I had to share it...next time I may start with that first!! Great Customer Service. Our Waiter was patient, very knowledgeable about the food choices and his attentiveness to detail was very much appreciated.

    The food and drinks are so delicious. Our waiter was so friendly. Will recommend the "Something Caramel" cocktail, wow it was good. Even the hot cocktails, I have never had it before, I had one with white hot chocolate and Amarula, it was on point. Very nice place. Good job, keep it up.

    Well situated with ample parking...but that is not what makes visiting here a pleasure. The big plus here is CONSISTENCY. This is at all levels....staff are always friendly, Manager is always visible and attentive. Bar persons are also always friendly and swift with an order, chatty but not overbearing. Food is great, always get what you order in terms of consistent with previous orders you placed. Highly recommended if you visit here. This is not fine dining, and it does not claim to be that...good food, quality assured and good service to go

    I called to make a reservation for two and when we got to the restaurant we found flowers on our table with two champagne classes set out for us, boss lady appreciated the gesture and for that attention to detail I would love to thank the lady I called to make the reservation and the waiter, he did a splendid job. The service we received at the restaurant was tops, and would recommend the restaurant to friends and family🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

    A no-nonsense bistro/ restaurant in an unassuming spot in Potch. I had the camembert and fig preserve burger. The fig preserve was home-made.The portions are generally quite generous. The highlight of the evening was the melkkos or milkfood. It is served in a traditional potjiepot and it made me cry from nostalgia and happiness - transporting me back to my Ouma's kitchen. The waiter was an absolute joy! He was kind and filled to the brim with jokes. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at the Broken Pot.

    Always a great experience. Just a pity about the smoking "display". The naughty corner. Most clients who prefer to spend hours of their hard earned money would rather sit in a smoke engulfed bar than be in a hurry to leave with a shortened order and zero relaxation.

    Best restaurant pizza in Potch!! Wow. We always have an incredibly good time at TBP. There's a lovely outside area to watch rugby and feast with friends. The waiters are very friendly and the meals are worth the money!

    Friendly waitress, good food and ambience. The cocktails and hot cocktails can be improved upon whereby they tastes like flavoured drinks for children. This inspite of requesting the waitress not to dilute the drinks, maybe to make quantity

    Broken Pot: Abhorrent Manager It is with deep disappointment and a bitter taste in my mouth that I recount my dreadful experience at the aptly named restaurant, Broken Pot. While I had hoped for a delightful dining affair, what I encountered instead was a distressing encounter with a manager who epitomized everything one could loathe about the hospitality industry. From the moment I entered the premises, the manager's presence loomed like a dark cloud, ready to rain on any glimmer of joy. Their sour expression and condescending gaze seemed to suggest that they saw customers as nothing more than an inconvenience to their day. It was abundantly clear that their sole purpose was not to ensure a pleasant experience, but to establish an oppressive atmosphere where customers felt belittled and unwelcome. Attempts to engage with the manager were met with an astonishing level of rudeness. Their dismissive and impatient attitude left me feeling as though my mere presence was an annoyance to be tolerated. It was as if they considered basic courtesy and professionalism to be beneath them, choosing instead to revel in their role as a tyrant ruling over their unfortunate subjects. Their words were intended not to resolve the issue, but to humiliate and demean. It was an utterly degrading experience that left me stunned and deeply saddened. As I surveyed the scene, it became apparent that I was not alone in my maltreatment. Other patrons, with despondent expressions etched upon their faces, seemed resigned to endure the manager's tyrannical reign. The joy that should accompany a dining experience was swiftly replaced by a sense of unease and apprehension, as if we were prisoners in a culinary nightmare. In light of my woeful encounter, I caution all prospective diners to steer clear of Broken Pot. Until a dramatic overhaul of the managerial staff takes place, it would be prudent to seek sustenance elsewhere, far away from the oppressive grasp of Broken Pot's rude and contemptuous manager.

    Its a great place, found it quite expensive though. Had crumbed mushrooms for starter, personally feel that a little salt needs to be added to the crumbs, tasted bland. The cheese sauce tasted like white sauce, needs to be looked at. Would have preferred a vinaigrette opposed to the mayo dressing for my salad. Otherwise a great place to go for the older crowd, quiet and tasteful

    Awesome dinner experience. The fillet was super tender and done to perfection. Chicken with cranberry sauce and Camembert was juicy and the tastes complimented well. Stella on tap was fresh and crisp. The custard served with malva pudding was ‘home’ made-delicious. Highly recommend!

    The service was amazing. The food was also amazing. My girlfriend had flu but still enjoyed the birthday Ice cream from our waitress. We forgot her name but will never forget her energy.
