Review Rj's Famous Rib Steakhouse - Margate

What a pleasure! Just returned from dinner with lovely full tummies. The restuarant is well decorated and clean. There's a play area inside for the children. You have a lovely variety to choose from on the menu. Our waiter was friendly and engaging without being overbearing. I had the plain chicken livers, and it was a true delight. It was cooked in a way I've never encountered, but it was GORGEOUS. Mains was the chicken supreme. Delicious! All was topped off with their yummy malva pudding.

Best place in Margate to take little ones. The play area is bigger than the actual restaurant! Kids are looked after well by staff. Food was amazing and staff super helpful and professional. I seriously doubt any bad reviews from other peeps. I'll be back to RJ's Margate!

Love it !!! Food is excellent. Staff is very friendly and great service.

Great food, the steaks were cooked to perfection. Great menu with a lot of variety to choose from, something for everyone. Worth the money.

Great kids area and great place when it rains. The staff are friendly. In busy season make sure you book ahead of time.

Everything about this place was grate n the service is good it's like you are at your own house or home

Nice breakfast. Excellent play area for the kids.

Steak was so soft and jucy! Good food good music

I had low expectations because of the reviews. Our waiter, Njabulo, was top notch. Every meal we ordered was delicious and better than most restaurants. I will definitely be back next time we are in Margate. This place rocks. And absolutely phenomenal play area for my boys.

I am most impressed with the pricing on the menu; the food is absolutely divine& moderately priced. I had the option of creating a combo, rump steak & queen prawns with veggies on the side, and it was soooo good value for money! The place has a hookah lounge, bar, kingdom slots area, and a play area for the little ones. All of these are not viewable from the restaurant so don't worry about your kids learning how to pull on a pipe😁 The staff are welcoming as well as polite and professional, I was served by Sboniso who was such a gentleman and went out of his way to make sure our visit was a pleasant one.

Fantastic play area and you can sit inside the play area and eat! Food was good, pity they didn’t have the choc volcano. Kids had a blast.

Food 🍲 excellent, best place to have a great time service excellent u feel welcome

Best breakfast on the coast. So clean and friendly. If you have not been here before, you are missing out. Well worth a visit. I come here for breakfast every time I'm I'm Margate.

This steak house reminded me of the old Mikes Kitchen restaurants and had the same atmosphere even though it is in Margate. Food was great. Cocktails were great. Slightly pricey but guess that's what you pass for a tourist town.

Excellent food, great service had an all round top of the range dinning experience. Would recommend to any one

Food is great and MXO is the best waiter I have had in a long time - he even learned Afrikaans phrases to be able to speak to us! MXO for waiter of the year!

At last the Spur was upgraded to a better establishment! My last few meals at Spur was not great and staff attitude even worse. RJ's ribs was excellent and service great. Menu also caters for wider variety of tastes. This family rib and steakhouse exceeded my expectations. Suggest to also list on Tripadvisor - RJ's has the potential to progress to #1 status (always exceeding expectations). It fits in well with the Margate "face-lift".

Just had a exceptional meal at the new RJs, In Margate, service was friendly, food fantastic, so surprised with the birthday song and ice cream, 5 Star will definitely be back soon.

The absolute WORST service Saturday (13:00 - 15:30) at your South Coast Mall branch. During this time our children's order wasn't written down and after 10 minutes the waiter came back to ask again what they wanted as he could't remember. We had NO cutlery, condiments or serviettes whatsoever when our starters arrived (1,5 hours into our sitting) there was no sour cream with the nachos, we had to ask for it. One bowl of sour cream came after we asked 3 different waiters for it (we ordered 2 x nachos servings) and had to share it, by the time our nachos were finished the second bowl of sour cream finally came. My daughters' kiddie steak tasted like it was made in leftover garlic-snail sauce and it was so tough she couldn't eat it at all. We complained to the waiter and the person we believed to be the manager and eventually left hungry, without eating any mains ourselves as we can only imagine how long we would have waited then. Not so much as an apology when we paid!! We sat upstairs at the play area and to our surprise when we went down to pay (this is after a 20 minute wait for our bill AND another 20 minute wait for the speedpoint to pay) the restaurant was almost completely empty! So why the horrendous service, why the wait??? Waiter name as per slip: Bart Simpson (how unprofessional)... We were 7 people, 7 unhappy people.

Nothing beats an RJS meal!!! Always tasty and value for money!!!

Terrible service. Currently sitting at the table 2 hours after ordering. Never again.

I love RJ's steak & chicken. Yummy yummy yummy ☺

N lekker koue enetjie

Love the kiddies play area.

Always yummy
