Review Cattle Baron Durbanville - Durbanville

My girlfriend and I went with her friends to get dinner on a Sunday evening, we had a very enjoyable time there. The only issues I really had was the pricing. We got our food for half price as they run a special on Sunday afternoons, but ordinarily the burger would be R150 which is a decent amount of money considering what you get. Same story with the calamari, we would recommend going when it is a Sunday evening or when they run their half price specials. I had a lime milkshake, which was ok not great. She had a coke which was really small 200ml and was rather expensive considering. Burger was good, nice meat patty with a well done egg and bacon. Overall a nice 3.5/5 burger. Fries were meh, nothing exceptional. Calamari was good, similar to any fish and chips place. Also like 3.5/5. Cost is quite high, except during the specials. Service was very good, waiter was very helpful and polite. Environment was also quite nice, calm and relaxed. It was quite empty when we went to be fair.

The Cattle Baron has old school class and standards, an upscale restaurant that specializes in melt in your mouth steak and starter that tastes like more. I like the personal touch of the chef (Frikkie) coming to my table to ask if I enjoyed the food. Amy (waitress) is brilliant, has a great sense of humor, fast service and completes the full experience.

Was there during the taxi strike so was operating without a full staff compliment. Food was good service friendly and the restaurant itself looks very distinguished.

Crazy Mother's Day rush! A long wait, even though we had a reservation but once we were seated. We had a great time.

Had burgers. The beef patties were disappointing because they were not even close to the homemade ones at Sir Loin. So I’m glad I tried them out but I won’t be going back here for burgers. The restaurant looks great, booths everywhere - and a lovely bar area. Saw some specials on draughts. Very nice. Great atmosphere. Might go back to try their pork or beef ribs one day.

This is a really great restaurant with the best quality food and high level of service. Wether it is with the family or date night. Cattle Baron is a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. We especially enjoyed the vegetable sides that come with the meals. Not to mention the prawns. 😉

My daughter and myself treated ourselves to a wonderful time at Cattle Baron once again. Service were excellent. Karen welcomed us at the entrance with a huge smile, and of course Herman's steaks were TOPS. He made me a hot habanero sauce, as I mentioned that I miss a sauce like that on the menu. There simply just aren't a better steak restaurant ever! Thanks Herman for giving us just that.

Fantastic food and great service!! A little bit pricey but worth it for the food you get!

Living in the Southern Suburbs, one does not often get to Durbanville so I knew I was in for something special when my partner invited me to lunch at Cattle Baron. Now apparently, Cattle Baron Durbanville is not just any old steakhouse. It is the steak house where most business lunches take place and succulent steaks are consumed and downed with delectable glasses of wine. He was right! I enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The service was excellent, the ambience was perfect, as was our view of the water and surrounds. I sipped my chilled Chardonnay as I enjoyed a most delicious baby Kingklip with a Prawn sauce and roast potatoes while my partner ploughed into a huge juicy T-Bone. I could not have asked for more at this superb mid-week lunch.

Thank you for great and friendly service. Thank you for the card we received from you for our anniversary. I had the mussels with creamy garlic sauce. Fantastic!! My rolled beef with escargot was perfect. I eat my steaks well done and this was just right, still tasty and not dry. Thank you, will be back and recommend you to anyone

our group of seniors, had nothing but praise for the excellent service. the only thing missing on the menu was seafood, other than that no complains.

The food was excellent at this location, I had not been to Cattle Baron in many years. The building itself is a bit hidden away and there isn't a lot of parking

Delicious food, great service, wonderful experience! I will definitely be back. I came here with my family last night, and we really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed that there were quite a lot of people, so the vibe was good. The only negative is that the benches at the table we were sitting, were quite worn out, which made the seating a bit uncomfortable. I remember noticing this a few months ago at this restaurant as well. I just think replacing the benches would make the experience even better, even though it was already great. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Definitely 'The Best' Fillet Steak I have ever had. I would recommend the 'The Carpetbagger' to anyone. Perfect portion size and the Steak cooked to Perfection. Thank you Ranon for the Great Service and Perfect recommendations on the menu.

Service was excellent. In my opinion, this is the best value vs quality, I had for a long time. George was our service person and was very knowledgeable. The food was excellent all-round till by the dessert. The big plus for us is that we were able to bring our own selection of wine, making celebrating a birthday a little more economical. Our selection of food included T-Bone med/rare , Pork Belly, Fillet steaks med/well. Served with Blue cheese sauce, onion rings, creamed spinach and butternut. My compliments for the beautiful onion rings which was nice and big and not to oily. My compliments to the chef/s. Oh, I need to mention that we had starters for four, a mixed platter of chicken wings, calamari and mushrooms. Service was quick and we did not need to wait for food. Definitely be back soon. Well done.

Senior afsluitingsfunksie gister: die bediening was uitstekend. Kelners was altyd en heeltyd beskikbaar. Was in afsonderlike lokaal. Die buffet was uitstekend en lekker voorberei. Kosbakke was die heeltyd opgevul/volgemaak.

Were at Cattle Baron yesterday night to celebrate a birthday staff is very friendly all smiles and great service, didn't wait long for our food at all and food was delicious will definitely go again...

Family and I often go to cattle barron durbanville and have always loved it. We ordered mr delivery as it was quite cold and didn’t feel like going out. Our order was R530 and on the mr delivery app it asked what side you would like with each steak and if you’d like veggies or not with EACH steak, so you would expect you would get a small buck of veggies with each steak. We ordered 2 x fillets and 1 x rump. The one fillet was asked to be well done. Giving it that we eat there often we know what a well done steak should look like, and it was definitely not a well done steak. We took all steaks with a side of baked potato with butter. When you see the word bake potato you would think it’s a full big potato, we received BABY potatoes and they were terrible, if you serve baked potatoes you should state that you are receiving baby potatoes. When you eat at the restaurant they give you veggies for each steak you order. We ordered 3 steaks and received a small buckie of spinach and butternut which was not enough for us, we had to share the small amount we had amongst us. Giving the amount of money we spent, don’t think it was the best meal, food was cold and steaks weren’t prepared correctly, we did contact a manager and the manager named Gert said 3 people can eat from those buckies. Meal was not worth R530.

This is still the best of the best out of all the CB’s! Whomever the blockman is for the Durbanville branch can to magic with any cut. The saturday dinner was apperently just as good! We’ll go back time and again...

Sitting here now for the 1st time. Amazing!!! Waiter is very informative and the french accent is perfect. He makes amazing suggestions. Great beer and if the food is even half as good as he described it it would still be worth the money. Tresor, keep up the good work. You are busy making our evening.

Very nice place, the food was amazing the waitrons were extremely friendly. But what I did not like and do not at all agree with is the way Herman the chef shouted at one of the waitrons while we were seated there. He literally went off at this poor lady which was uncalled for, undermining her in front of customers. Unacceptable. We do not treat people that way. We all deserve respect especially if you would like the same respect back toward yourself.

Always the best steak in town! Our waiter Juan was very friendly, fun and an absolute pleasure.

What can I say, food amazing with friendly staff, always made to feel special. Being pensioners we found the buffet days are our favourite & the best value In town. Highly recommended.

We went to Cattle Baron Durbanville for my birthday. The service was terrible. The freshly baked bread you get was clearly in the fridge for a few days and the pepper sauce is white sauce with a few peppercorns. I will never go there again. We have enough really good Cattle Barons in Cape Town.

The food was good, however we had a female waitor, with big reading glasses. She's simply rude, how do you serve a table like that. I'm a food and beverage manager, a waitor like that I'd fire. No visibility or SUP or res manager. I'd go back only for their food.

We loved the buffet and the friendly service from Chandre today. Thank you

Always a winner for us pensioners from Lydenburg, Mpumalanga while visiting Cape Town kids

Very nice place and atmosphere. Excellent service; good food.

Contrary to some other posts, our food was excellent. Our impression was that the kitchen must be well orhanised to serve a buffet and the a la carte still being outstanding. I had the chatau and delicious is not descriptive enough. The creamed spinach was not overcooked whilst the butternut was perfect too. My friend had the chicken breast which was awesome to. Our friendly waitor was attentative and most efficient. Cattle Baron Durbanville will see us soon again. I can name a number of other eateries who can learn from them.

I have been there a couple of times and I'll go back....should anything ever bother me or if it's the quality of the food....I'll tell management....I love it there.....

We went for dinner and we were dissapointed with the quality of the food. The chips were terrible and then when my order returned the chips were worse than before. So we politely declined from eating the chips and it was removed by the manager. The mushroom sauce was a tasteless watered down brown substance with one slither of mushroom. I kid you not. We will definitely not be returning to the durbanville franchise.

Good food and excellent service from our waiter Johan.
