On Saturday we made a birthday booking at Roxannes. Making a booking was so easy, online and actually reliable. On getting there we were greeted by Charl (the manager) who promptly showed us our table with our waiter (Steve Austin) standing by. We were a large group of 12. The restaurant was super packed and the vibe was amazing. Through the night our waiter was attentive and made sure we were properly hydrated and fed. Not once did we feel ignored despite how busy it was. At some point in the night I started fanning myself to cool down. It was at this point that another waiter walked up to me and indicated that the manager apologises that it's warm and they will be turning the air conditioning up. Now that's what I call great service. The food was great. The cocktails were great. The service was great. I totally recommend Roxannes!
We had a girls night here on a very busy Saturday night. Our waiter was absolutely amazing (Sibusiso) he was literally running around and even took the time to take endless photos for us without complaining once. It's not often that a busy, new restaurant has staff that try so hard and go above and beyond. The food was also exceptionally good, we all enjoyed our meals, and the tequila was the hit of the night - it comes in a shot glass in a tumbler of crushed ice with lemon. The vibe was awesome as well and we will definitely be going back!
Stunning restaurant decor. Food was alright but not the best. Staff were awesome and very much in tune with our needs. Great music and ambiance.
It was a friend's birthday and they really went out of their way to make her feel special. Thanks everyone for that.
Ate here for the first time last night and was not disappointed! The staff are friendly and there’s a nice vibe about the place. The cocktails are amazing and the food is just as fantastic. Presentation of everything is so well done. Would definitely recommend this place. It is a little bit more pricey than you’d hope for maybe but definitely worth it.
Honestly, what an awesome place.
Friendly staff, tasty food with an amazing vibe.
The cocktails are amazing!
Looking to celebrate your birthday with friends and family - they the place.
We had an awesome evening. The place is beautifully decorated, the cocktail menu is awesome, the food was all delicious. Loved it and will definitely be back!
It was my first time going to Roxanne’s Rum Eatery and it was great!!
From food to the atmosphere, everything was great.
The only problem I had was that they don’t have proper wine glasses and there was some sort of confusion to which beer they had given me.
Other than that, I’ll be going back to Roxanne’s Rum Eatery soon.
This is one awesome restaurant. The food is top stuff, tasty, looks amazing, the portions are massive and it is super affordable. Really awesome date night venue. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The management and staff are very friendly and helpful.
Pre dinner drinks. Very cute place. Excellent vanilla rum. Had mine on ice. The moscow mules gorgeous. Next time will try the food too. Service good
What a fabulous little gem, with some killer tunes and epic food. Everything was so full of flavor and gorgeously presented. So pleasantly surprised at the amount of GF / vegan menu tens available! I can’t wait to be back to try out a few more options 🥂🌸
Absolutely lovely place to have lunch or dinner whether it be a date night or just an evening with friends! The presentation of the food is on point, as well as the deco. I’ve been here twice and the first time I ordered a platter which was mouth watering and the second time I ordered their tacos... that wasn’t such a pleasant experience. Overall it’s a great place and the staff is super friendly!

Cocktail was amazing😍 just wish it was in a longer cocktail glass. The ambiance was fantastic on a Friday night. The naughty but nice restaurant personality is definitely one to experience. It reminded me of Betty Boop.
Great decor, friendly staff and such a great variety on the menu! This is a refreshingly different type of venue! Definitely a venue for adults and not a family outing. Book them for your next date night or adults birthday party. Reservations for weekend bookings highly recommended.
Hmmm they certainly make good rum drinks and food bastings. The venue is great for functions- when it's your birthday you get a shot and you get to dance on the table with a waiter. Venue is also big enough to accommodate large groups but equally suitable for a family of four or date night with your significant other . The menu has something of everything, Italian, Asian, Mexican cuisines are all present and they have a kids menu which is great. Unfortunately nachos are not served after brunch. Great variety on the drinks menu as well with a good wine selection. The food took some quite some time before it was served but it was delicious with good sizeable portions for the price. They make a mean hot sauce,be sure to request it!! Service was good (a bit slow) restaurant vibe and music is relaxed. Love that the menu is so well rounded. Something for everyone. Tacos are gluten free for those with allergies.

A friend booked this spot to celebrate her birthday with a bunch of people. I've had this on my 'to eat' list since they opened. The place was completely packed and there was at least 4 people celebrating their birthdays in the venue. As a result it was kinda cramped and hectic and service was a bit of a let down. We had platters of food to share to start, vegetarian and lovely meaty platters. The Food was quite nice and a reasonable variety. I didn't get a chance to order anything else as ordering a drink proved problematic. In the end I gave up and just drank water. I think they need to get more waiters on board especially if they know they have booked big groups.
They do make the birthday person feel special in how the staff help celebrate and the BIG dessert they bring with.
Would like to go again and check out the menu properly. They do have a nice variety for drinks. We had the Tipo Tinto Sharing jugs, which seems to be in the "In" drinks at eateries.
All in all, it was a great evening spent celebrating amongst friends.

Roxanne Rum Eatery is one of the must visit restaurants in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. I have been there many times and each time I loved the food and the good vibe at the restaurant. The vegetarian options are also good and you really feel the quality and the presentation of the food is awesome. Desserts are made with activated carbon which is good for health and tasty too. Go check out. Thanks
Nice trendy spot in fourways. Love the run cocktails! Food is well presented... Asian fusion mix .. Veg option not a fave. Black waffles are popular.. you'll be seeing black for a week after 😂 in the loo
Amazing menu!!! Rumliciousness!! 😁 Great cocktails... It's all about the rum people! And did I mention curly fries? No, well, there's curly fries peeps. Can't get any better than that, oh wait, you can... Waffles!!!! 😋😍
Had a really awesome time here. Arrived around 7, place was still slightly empty, but as we had our wide range of cocktails and drinks, the place filled up, the vibe picked up. The service slowed down but understandably so. We had the Mac and cheese and it has gone down a little since the last time we came, but was still great. Little weird that there isnt a male bathroom (I'm all for empowerment, but we don't live in a sexist society). There were a lot of Batchelorette parties going on, seemed like the place for it. But overrall it was an awesome night.
Intriguing menu with some great food choices. Feels much more then a bar menu and definitely worth visiting few times to taste the different options. Great variety on drinks and cocktails and awesome vibe overall. Very friendly staff that go above and beyond. Will definitely visit again.
We went to have a bite to eat at Roxanne's a few days ago. They have an amazing menu, lots of vegan options too. The food is great, the vibe is amazing and the service is the best. I can definitely recommend it.
Awesome place! Love the cool art and neon lights. The drinks menu is MASSIVE and the cocktails are so interesting. If you like sweet cocktails, get the Dita Von Teese... I could drink that one every single time I visit. Also, book in advance. It gets quite busy.
