Review Crawdaddy's - Pretoria

It's an amazing place the food is great, the manager is brilliant, even thou we had a small oopsie with the ice cream he really gave such a great service for something so small I can definitely overlook it. It's just the way he handled it brilliant service. Overall, the food was amazing damn porkchops are a winner. I might would recommend perhaps getting some more local beer in the restaurant, especially on the tap. Perhaps look at devils peak pale ale, etc, the comrcial beer it doesn't work nice with dishes, if you want want them both to stand out the devils peak pale ale it would bring some flavor to the food while you drink and eat as well just an idea. Would love to see more local support on the alcohol part as some places are already starting it up and make's a huge difference in taste. Come on, guys, local is mos lekker. Gotta embrace the country and local beer. But well done on the food hats off to the chef making the meat 👌

Great service. Manager and staff went out of their way to accommodate us after closing due to a very late ending show. Service like this is hard to find. Well done team.

Where good food is served. Good place to enjoy a nice meal and spend a quality time here. Crawdaddy's rains the best for me. I still enjoy till date. It has improved even more now. Food is super nice and very awesome. I enjoy the food and the time spent @ Crawdaddy's. Keep up th good vibe & keep on serving good for us. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The is gud and as for services is great friendly staff. The location is peaceful and quite

I love here💚 all staffs are really kind and friendly! We ordered crab chowder and Quin prawns. Prawns are fresh and there are so many crabs in crabs chowder 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 I strongly recommend ! I think the price is reasonable as well. We had great time! Thank you 😊💓

This is our go to restaurant, since we know we always get great service and incredible delicious food here. I love their seafood and am never disappointed, while my husband loves their steak. It is most definitely value for money. Not really toddler/kid friendly, so rather go here for a date night.

There is no better place to enjoy GREAT seafood and company! The Waiters are all so friendly and the service is top class. Booking is the best option if you want to secure your spot. The food is most definitely worth the price. Always looking forward to visit this gem!

We had a big group of people celebrating a birthday in the midst of yet another "Load sharing" which determined the unavailability of certain dishes and the serve time. The waiters were attentive, helpful and friendly, managing to keep most people happy. We had a variety of dishes (of course!)-oxtail, steak, and may other dishes. Everything was well prepared, and served hot.

Great place. We were told that everything on the menu was excellent. The sea food and curries we had were all great. Service was great too. Large parking space outside. Nice setting inside and can get quite packed in evenings. Early reservations recommended!

Fantastic. You have got the most awesome staff. Each and everyone greeted us as we were led to our table. Haven't seen that in years. Bruce our server knew the menu and was quick to assist us on any of our questions. Had a sense of humor and didn't seem to be making fake conversation and was genuinely attentive. Food was amazing and very affordable. Well done to the management and staff

Food was excellent, great place for date night.

Yummy food, lovely service. Absolutely would go again. I had the nachos starter and the crab chowder. Both delicious. They do give you a bib for the crab chowder and you need it but what fun. Only criticism is that I would have preferred a finger bowl to refresher towels to deal with the messy hands.

Absolutely love Crawdaddy's! The portions are fantastic and the food is great. Highly recommend their double chocolate milkshake too (it was so good I didn't have time to even snap a pic)

Must be one of the largest restaurants Ive ever seen in terms of seating capacity. The menu has a large selection of food too, with interesting options and combinations. Food portions were generous and neither my wife or I completely finished it.

We haven't been to Crawdaddys Waterglen for a long time and it was as good as ever. The restaurant is a character place and the staff is attentive and friendly. The menu is extensive and caters for all tastes. The preparation and display was excellent. We had an fantastic meal and would have no hesitation in recomending this restaurant

Best food I have ever eaten. I like my steak well done and it was well done and not dry at all. My new favourite restaurant. Will recommend to everyone.

Service was the best I've had, from the time we walked in until we were finished with our meal. We asked to speak to the manager just to let him know how pleased we were with our server, Michael's attention to our needs.

We had a wonderful lunch today! Our food did take slightly longer than usual, but they made it up to us! Thank you to our waiter for his sense of humor and great service (Michael) The overall service and the food was fantastic!

The oxtail was absolutely out of this world. Could be eaten with a fork only. Thanks to our waiter JP, service was impeccable. Will definitely be back.

Attentive & Friendliest service, Food is layerd with flavour and we had the best waiter! Thank You Wayde!���

It's a nice place to be ..thanks to mr vilakazi for introducing me that place the service is the best..101% GOOD FOOD.

Brought our friend from Western Cape to our favourite place, he was very impressed. Love the food, fabulous service.

Always the Best - We actually always get our Table 92 Had Mario as Waiter - Excellent He was awesomness Missed Matt who was always our regular waiter We have tried other Places but Crawdaddys you guys ROCK We were there on 18/10/2017

Awsome as always ..... will recommend to anyone!

One of our favorites not only in Gauteng but in Sa great staff, Awesome food and vibe!! One for the books!

Friendly staff. We ordered a starter and a main each. Both were served together. By the time we finished our starter the main was cold.<br/>The starter was alright - not great but edible.<br/>The mains were supposedly gourmet burgers but it was tasteless, the buns were soggy and overall it was way below average and we will not be eating there again unfortunately.

Fiona was an absolute God-send. Fantastic, friendly service. The food was phenom. Had the sticky sweet, melt-of-the-bone spare ribs. Never have i ever had anything that blatantly disregard the laws of bone-to-muscle adhesion like that. Flawless!

Really a great venue for a delicious fish dinner. I had the prawns in lemon butter sauce with half portion of rice and chips, and a side dish of creamed spinach. What a delightful combination it turned out to be. Ended with a well made skinny cuppacino. Good attentative waitering and the busy restaurant had a nice Friday night vibe of happy diners.

Average service, great snails. The steak tasted like gas and was undercooked, asked for med rare, it came out blue rare. <br/>I can handle a bit of an undercooked steak, however, an ice cold steak, tasting like a backyard gas braai...not acceptable.

I have always had amazing service and great food at this branch. Their Kingklip is a must and the garlic bread is also to die for :) will definitely go back

This is the best Crawdaddy’s of all in PRETORIA. Good friendly service from start to finish.<br/>Menu has a variety of options for everyone.<br/>The food is very satisfying prepared well and good portion size.

The first thing you will notice about Crawdaddy's (besides the slightly eccentric decor) is the sheer variety of food to choose from; from steaks to seafood, burgers to waffles; potjies, chowders and everything in between! Its quite overwhelming in the beginning, however you very quickly find your way around as it is well structured. You can't go wrong with 90% of the choices on the menu but there are one or two things that just should've never appeared on a menu (i.e. Bovril Bruschetta).<br/><br/>All in all this is a great restaurant, the service can be a bit slow at times, but the atmosphere is always vibey so that makes up for it.

Awful, awful, awful. After 2 minutes of sitting down, I regretted coming here. The decor is tacky, but I suppose that it goes with the theme. I ordered the seafood chowder, but after a few bites, I had had enough. The chowder had little flavor, and the linefish was not deboned. This made eating the chowder very difficult.  The service was fine but difficult to locate at times. Their system also crashed throughout the evening, but we were able to pay and get out of there quite quickly. I will never, ever return.

Always been a fan of Crawdaddys because their Seafood was good. Lately it is abysmal to say the least. Very cluttered menu, so little fish to choose from and odd Combinations. Sweet chilli sauce with Jalapeño poppers? Sour Cream works MUCH better. Our waiter was good, not great, think he might have been stoned. Ordered a platter to share, rice was over cooked, the fish pieces were ok, calamari was good and Prawns were so damned small!

Great atmosphere. The food portions were massive! Had to take a doggy bag. Love that we had a (large) snack the next day. Food took a while but it was quite busy.

I love the food at Crawdaddys Waterkloof Glen but to wait up to 45 minutes for food every time we go there is unacceptable. Lots of other restaurants have just as good quality food and they are just as busy yet the food is out in 20 minutes. Must say I lose my appetite when I have to wait so long.

What a lovely dinner. Besides from the long wait for food, it turned out great. <br/><br/>Crawdaddy's is definitely famous for their seafood but the chicken chowder is not to be missed.<br/><br/>

Crawdaddy's staff are always amazing. We had a fantastic meal Crayfish and queen prawns combo. The flavour of the crayfish was amazing... <br/><br/>Lower rating due to the long wait for the food.<br/>

We went here to have our anniversary yesterday, we are so disappointed with the food, bad service (waited over an hour for our food) <br/>Rump was bland and extremely tough. Portions were tiny of calamari. And had very little taste. Extremely noisy. A total waist of money, don't bother coming here

Had a very affordable meal here.Adrian our waiter was good.Food came in about 3min very fast service.Steaks were done like we requested them.Manager always visable.Atmosphere great.General attitude Great.Just make reservations as very popular (i can see why)to avoid waiting for a table.Definatally go back.

Good food, a lively atmosphere and very friendly service! The menu is quite reasonable regarding prices and has something for every craving. I would recommend the grilled chicken breasts - juicy yet cooked to perfection.

Crawdaddy's currently have six other offerings (that I know of): Brooklyn, Menlyn, Centurion, Silverlakes, Rustenburg and Tzaneen, and is a franchise that boasts twenty (20) years experience, but this is the first branch that I have visited. <br/><br/>Crawdaddy's motto: "For Great Seafood, Steaks and Asian Fusion Foods". I am going to begin with the fact that to offer Asian on the menu at a pub and steakhouse is an unusual mix but their steaks were good. Their prawns come from India, their oysters from Lüderitz (Namibia)and there are a lot of crab dishes on the menu so I really should have asked where they come from..<br/><br/>Notable crab specials (all made with whole crab sections and served in potjies):<br/>Curried Crab<br/>Crab & Prawn Chowder<br/>Crab & Prawn Curry<br/><br/>Notable steak toppings that caught my eye on our visit:<br/>Jalapeno: jalapenos in cheese sauce with a three (3) cheese crust and bacon bits.<br/>Magic Mushroom: mushroom sauce, sautéed mushrooms and mozzarella. <br/>Medallion: mushroom sauce, capers, roast peppers and halloumi.<br/>Transylvania: garlic butter, garlic sauce and roasted garlic cloves. <br/>Rossini: chicken livers in a creamy wine, mushroom, onion and green pepper sauce. <br/><br/>*We were served by Matthew, our knowledgable and helpful waiter who gave us some of the BEST service that I have received anywhere ever in Pretoria so a notable mention to him!*<br/><br/>*Recommendation: In terms of well-priced food in a casual setting, Crawdaddy's franchise is a landmark in Pretoria known for its prawns, Lüderitz oysters and steak.<br/> <br/><br/>For more, find me on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter: LaurasWorldza

We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation. We were let down somewhat by the food. Service was great however. I'm not sure I would go there again.

Brendan Linder and I love to come here for impromptu dates and we get take aways from here quite frequently. The ambience of the outside deck is romantic and dazzling . The service NEVER disappoints and this is definitely one of the best run restaurants in Pretoria. I always get the vegetarian curry which is so wholesome, tasty and makes for at least 3 meals. The creme caramel is sensational and deserves to be boasted about. ☺️

By far my favorite restaurant of all time!! I mostly eat the Lamb Korma Curry which is amazing. The rump with jalapeño cheese sauce is also divine. Service has always been outstanding.

I Have been to Crawdaddy's several times and have never been disappointed! Their food and service is absolutely amazing! Must try their wings!

First time at Crawdaddys! Nice atmosphere. We had the salmon carpaccio and the salmon bruschetta as appetizer and the chicken curry and fillet with camembert as main, very tasty! The waiter gave some good advice on which draught beer to choose. I had the cream ale which was very good.

I had seafood, and the Calamari was divine. Oysters fresh and fantastic The other guests all had steak and it received rave reviews from everyone.(meduim rare was meduim rare ect). Its very reasonably priced. <br/><br/>One huge complaint was the waitress - she just couldn't care. I looked around on two occasions for her. The steaks were just - steak and chips nothing more (No veggies offered?) Sorry that be bothered you during lunch time.

Our favourite restaurant in Pretoria.  Food and service always great.  Managers and waiters are very professional and well trained.  Owners always present.

We went here on Saturday night and had a fantastic time! The food was excellent and the service top notch. We will most certainly be going back. Definitely one of my favourites!

Always a favourite! Reasonable prices, excellent food and attentive servers makes this one of my favourites in Pretoria! Try their rump steak or Eisbein and you won't be dissapointed.

This is one of my favourite restaurant I love the food the service it has a great atmosphere and it caters to Sea Food Lover's variety I would definitely recommend this place if you if you are a seafood lover

Got there early and thought its not a busy thursday, but it got very busy. Service was great from the waitress, and all 3 courses we had was brilliant, will be back very soon!!

Very busy and very loud during lunch hours in the week, buzzing with employees from nearby companies enjoying a pub lunch, especially on a Friday afternoon. Don't go if you want a quiet romantic meal..<br/>The Sloppy Joe burger was cooked to perfection, definitely ranked as one of my all time favorite burgers

Finally had my first Crawdaddy's experience. I had been on the hunt for the perfect steak and finally found it. Had the fillet and it lived up to all of my expectations. Juicy and soft. Perfectly done. <br/>The rest of the table had burgers which also received double thumbs up.<br/>Great service as well.

Had a unplanned sunday dinner. Probarly the best green curry prawns I have ever had. Even had some left over for a very impressive lunch the next day. The portions were generous and well priced. Will be back for sure.

We haven't been here for a while....<br/><br/>What can I say. The service at this venue is by far the best in Pretoria and the food was just brilliant! <br/><br/>A really nice cosy restaurant with a homely vibe. <br/><br/>Sure to visit again.... <br/>

April 13th. Attended a dinner celebrating my sisters birthday. An absolutely amazing experience once again. You never seem to disappoint. Was my sisters 3rd year in a row celebrating her birthday there and i always know why. The food was excellent, i had 1kg of queen prawns to die for. Most tender and juicy prawns i have ever had. Everyone enjoyed their meals and had an outstanding evening. Had great service from our waiter Jonty i believe, who even organised a sparkle thing for my sister. Had good service from the managers and other staff. Have been coming there for years and will always be back for more. Best seafood restaurant around town in my opinion.

Always a pleasure coming to this spot in Waterglen Shopping Centre, Pretoria East. Friendly waiters and always making sure you are happy. Food always enough and refreshers always full. Pity the waiting queue is always long. Well done guys, keep going.

What an awesome wine pairing evening with Neethlingshof Wine Estate, thanks Zomato for the invite 😉. My favourite wine was the welcome drink unwooded Chardonnay 🍷. My favourite dish was the main course of fillet medallions done to my liking medium rare 😋 with Halloumi and capers and served with a mushroom sauce.  Our glasses were always topped up and the waiters were very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with some wine education and amazing cuisine.

This what quite the experience,invited by Zomato for a wine pairing experience and what a true delight. The menu was so well balanced with the food paired so meticulously with the wine. My favorite pairing has to be the chicken curry and six flowers the wine. I also enjoyed the single vineyard...

Great ambiance very good service we had a cheese mushroom steak A SPECIAL ...this was MEDIUM RARE perfect first time around very very appetising. I recommend them COMPLETELY .

Service ok<br/>Place ambiance great !<br/>Food horrible ! <br/><br/>Come on get some decent cooks! <br/><br/>I have gone there 3 times and unfortunately the food is just ridiculously below average .<br/><br/>

Lunch at Crawdaddy's. Nice place to eat. Had the Chicken Schnitzel with Cheese Sauce and it was really good; nice flavour and not dry. Did not really like the fries they served with it. My companion had the Hot Thai Green Prawn Curry and it smelled like heaven. Nicely presented in a "potjie" with rice on the side. Personally I like a Prawn Curry with the prawns de-shelled, but it just looked so much more interesting the way it was served here. Overall a good place to eat with matching service.

I tried the Crawdaddy's in Silverlakes before and it seems like a completely different outlet. I much much prefer this branch. <br/>I had the sticky ribs (on my quest to find good ribs) and they were great. Boyfriend had a chicken curry - also tasty and fragrant. Huge portions. Awesome staff. Overall a fantastic evening! Will only visit this branch again.<br/>So far my favourite everyday restaurant :)

A drinkers dream. <br/>Good food, value for money. <br/>Chocochino 3.5/5<br/>Vanilla milkshake 3.5/5<br/>Chicken and Calamari 3.5/5<br/>Pemba Hake 3.5/5<br/>Service 3.5/5<br/><br/>

For the most part we live frequenting this restaurant for the great food and the lekker atmosphere. The Transylvania steak with mash is my favourite and the crème Brule for desert. When it gets busy the service is a little bit slow but not beyond reason. I can say that the biltong bruschetta is not a dish I would order again.

Our first visit to Crawdaddy's was amazing! Thank you Jacques for the great service. Great food! Very relaxed vibe. We were not disappointed. We will definitely be back for more.

<br/>I don't often write poor reviews but I was quite disappointed with our dinner at Crawdaddy's last Tuesday. Overall service was really good and the ambiance of the restaurant is great. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the food. The haloumi starter was really bad. The smallest, thinnest pieces of haloumi I have ever received. They were hard and rubbery. Both my friends and I were let down by our mains. Our vegetarian friend had the haloumi salad which she said was tasteless. My other friend had the Pemba hake at another Crawdaddy's branch and said it was completely different here. The sauce was really chunky and over loaded with garlic and ginger. It was so overpowering and so salty - impossible to finish. I had the cannelloni calamari which was okay. The tomato sauce it is served in was bland and I had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper to it. There also only seemed to be only spinach stuffed in the calamari. I did not find any feta and haloumi as stated on the menu. The only saving grace of this meal was the absolutely delicious salted caramel milkshake we had after dinner. Best milkshake I have ever had!

What a pleasant experience! Service was excellent! Food was even better. The Moroccan beef strips will bring me back again and again. The atmosphere is relaxing and rustic. Menu is very diverse.

Service was great, menu extensive and decor quirky. Bubbles were cold, well done! My seafood platter for 1 was overcooked, both fish and prawns. Management was attentive and friendly. My husbands steak was great. For a place that started our as the seafood place, a bit disappointing.

This must be my favourite everyday restaurant. I have never had anything or heard of anyone whose had anything bad on the menu. All the food items are spectacular. The portions are big and you are guaranteed to go home with a doggy bag. <br/><br/>Be sure to book a table as it gets full quickly even on some idle Tuesday night . This is a place where you can start your evening and have such a fantastic time that you wont realize where the time went. <br/><br/>The prawns are by far the best i have ever had. The chowders are also highly recommended. <br/><br/>So take your family or your group of friends and enjoy lovely food with a warm welcoming atmosphere <br/><br/>

Always have a great time here. Good hearty seafood and fresh Oysters. The Springbok snails is something that has to be tried. Pretty much everything I've tried has been good. Plus very reasonable when it comes to corkage.

Great service, food cooked to perfection and attention to small detail made it a great night out. No doubt a top restaurant. Next time I'll try the seafood!

Crawdaddy's Garsfontein is the best restaurant in it's class in Pretoria, if not in South Africa. I have yet to visit a place here in the RSA with waiters hurrying faster between table & kitchen. Tables are being cleared continually by waiters walking past. Clearly this Crawdaddy's is well managed.<br/>Tasty food, huge portions - our take aways last night fed two grown children at home.<br/>Fresh oysters were deliciously plump. <br/>My Crab curry: a tremendous effort, not for the faint hearted or squeamish. One has to break the claws open to get to the meat. But it was succulent with a sweetish coconut & tomato curry. Lovely fine basmati rice & cripy poppadums.<br/>The Bombay trio - three different curries of lamb, chicken and seafood each in it's own sauce -is a meal fit for a king. A huge portion but unbelievably good.<br/>Be sure to visit Crawdaddy's Garsfontein but remember to come starved!

Had such a lovely dinner at Crawdaddy's!! We had the Crawdaddy's platter and it was amazing!!! If you haven't been there you have to try it!!!

This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I come here at least once or twice a month. They always have good, friendly service and I have never been disappointed with the food. Always a winner!

So I've been to Crawdaddys a few times in my life.. nothing worth writing about, good everything. BUT a few weeks back Me and my husband went to Crawdaddy's Garsfontein. and IT BLEW OUR MINDS! <br/><br/>We were welcomed, had some delicious wine and then the feast began..<br/><br/>We ate the most succulent, freshest lobster ever!! 2kg of meat with just the right spices and sauces, they even brought us prawns, salad AND veggies on top of that! <br/><br/>I can honestly say this place has the best service I've experienced!! friendly waiters that actually know whats going on, and they go out of their way to make your night amazing! <br/><br/>We were so impressed! We even went back for a quick lunch! <br/>Thank you crawdaddys! <br/>

Very dissapointed, our usual go to for awesome seafood or a great burger. Attended a friends farewell here, my seafood was extremely overcooked and boyfriends "sloppy joe" burger, very dry and bland. Drinks didnt arrive after ordering 3 times. Hopefully just one bad night because I do really love the usual service and restuarant itself.

Service was very poor , food was over cooked in term of the seafood , while the hamburgers very dry with stale rolls , it's unfortunate cause most of the times I have been the food has been good

Burgers are amazing ! The service and cocktails are really great. Get there early to get a table outside.

By far the best Crawdaddy's I've been to.Crawdaddy's menu offer a wide variety of dishes and their house specials are some of the best in town.  If I had to recommend one dish and drink, it would be their ribs and chocolate milkshakes, in my opinion the best in town.Their food is affordable and portions the best for their respective price.  The serves I have received at some of the other branches was lagging, but I have never received poor service at the Garsfonetin branch.One of my restaurant of choice.

Great food, good service! Awesome evening overall!! One of my regular favorites and will be back again soon. Great for an evening out with friends and family

Enjoyed our time here so much! The service wes excellent, the waiter was attentive without being annoying. The food was absolutely great. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, but would also be lively and good for a group of people. Will go back again!!

As usual .....excellent !! <br/>Service 10/10<br/>Food ....not a morsel left on any plate <br/>Group ordered - soles ✔️ burgers ✔️ schnitzel ✔️ pork chops ✔️ - all just yum !! <br/>Kudo's to Crawdaddy's for being so consistent 🍷🍷

This is just the kind of place that keeps bringing you back. With a menu thats keeps you excited with its wide variety of choices, its never boring! The food is generally american themed ranging from amazing chowders to great seafood and steaks. There are also delicious curries, both indian and thai. The service is always good, with friendly interactive waiters. If you ever have to wait long for food, its not a problem because the vibe is usually good and its always worth it. Its like home, i just keep going back!

An evening to remember! The warm inviting candlelight provided an intimate atmosphere in an otherwise busy restaurant (although some more light to appreciate the gorgeous food would have been nice).<br/><br/>The New Orleans Oysters were delicious. Beautiful smoked salmon with a tangy cucumber tomato salsa, sour cream and chives topped the fresh delectable oyster. I will not admit to licking the shell...<br/><br/>The Magic Mushroom Bruschetta lived up to its name. Absolutely stunning. Full of flavour and a great combination of textures.<br/><br/>The Peri-Peri Portuguese Chicken Livers were to die for. Each bite melts in your mouth. Don't get me started on that sauce!<br/><br/>The Famous Crab Curry. It is obviously famous for a reason! A full experience of the senses. The gorgeous crab bathed in a fragrant mouth-watering curry sauce served with crispy poppadoms, rice and chilli bites. Be prepared to have sauce running down your arms, this is definitely not recommended for first dates! This meal takes some real work digging the crab meat from the shell. I suggest getting a group together to enjoy this well earned treat otherwise someone will be left watching the others eat for at least another hour after their meal. The portions are huge so I don't recommend starters or dessert when choosing this option, although takeaways for the next day are always a treat.<br/><br/>The Lamb Korma Curry blew me away! It was bursting with flavour. The lamb was so tender, it just melts in your mouth. This meal was definitely one for the books. Put it on your bucket list!<br/><br/>The Salted Caramel and the Peppermint Crisp milkshakes! I am not a milkshake person, I may even despise them, but I have officially been converted. The thick, creamy texture coats your mouth in the most soul-comforting way. It is full of real flavour, not that cheap nasty goop places usually squirt in there.<br/><br/>Crawdaddy's has served me the best meals I have ever eaten. If you're in need of some good food that makes you grateful to be alive, this is for you.<br/><br/>The waiters are friendly and on the ball.<br/><br/>Unfortunately I do need to mention that my boyfriend did not enjoy his rump steak, it was underdone, cold and lacked any flavour. It pains me that he did not have as much of a positive experience as I did.<br/>

Always enjoyed Crawdaddys, but recently had to wait 75 min. for food to be served. They seemed to be overwhelmed on a busy Sunday. Fortunately and eventually, the food saved the day.

Always great food coming with a nice and cosy atmosphere on a cold winter night. Definitely recommended for taking that special person on a date or having a dinner with the family. They cater for all.

I got introduced to Crawdaddies by a friend some time ago. The atmosphere and décor are unique. The food are absolutely the best. A wide variety of meat and seafood are available, as well as a large range of local wines featured on their menu. <br/><br/>The restaurant has a nice deck and is fabulous in summer, but in winter they normally close the awnings which helps a lot. <br/><br/>The staff is friendly, efficient and it is always a pleasure to see Chris (Owner). It is definitely value for money and i have never had anything to complain about. Crawdaddies is definitely one of the top restaurant list on my list.

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. There is always service with a smile and the food is fantastic. <br/>Nice fire place to warm you up on the cold winter nights!!

Nice place but remeber always make a reservasion if u are eating at night if not u will wait 30-45 min to get a table<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Adriaan

I love this place, this is the ONLY Crawdaddies my husband Wil go to, he says they are the best and refuses to go to any other franchise. <br/><br/>We come here often with friends and family, I usually have the Mike Killians Curried Prawns - I love it, and usually have a hard time on deciding to order something ells.<br/><br/>But I have had the seafood chowder, it was amazing, the.seafood curry, also a favorite, and then the must try for everyone atleast ONCE is the Crab Curry! <br/><br/>I had this on my birthday and it was a unique experience, you actually get a apron and a nut cracker thing, ant then the crab is semi whole, then you break through the shell and legs to get to the meat.<br/><br/>It us really Yummmmmmy but it takes time, so have the others at the table prepared for a long meal. <br/><br/>The best thing about Crawdaddies for me is that I can have seafood and my husband steak, they haven't perfect blend of foods for everyone. <br/><br/>I also had my first oyster here, very fresh. <br/><br/>I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, I love it! <br/><br/>The service is great and the atmosphere warm, cozy and inviting. <br/>

We decided to give this place a try for a date and man were we blown away! The oyesters were fresher than most durban seafood stores that ive been to and the garlic and cheese roll was just decadent, both starters were decently priced for how much you get (a lot). The mains were even more so amazing, a special on 1 kg ribs for just 135 and they were filling to the point of third breakfast while my meal, the jalapeno and cheese snitchzel was nothing i could ever imagine. The meal was a burst of flavour of fresh slow cooked chicken and the jalapenos made the entire meal! We also tried out the chokolate dessert and it was a pleasure to eat, the meal melts in your mouth leaving hints of caramel amd biscuit after the light and fluffy chocolate melts. Service was also on the spot and we were seated in the corner which had cut us off from a lot of resturuant noises , leaving our evening to be nothing less of a romantic date . Be prepared for a large bill though, you will forget how much you order due to the wonderful tastes and excitements of trying out different meals.<br/>

Best steak in town. Their cheese and jalapeño sauce was amazing and so good I order it everytime I go back. Service was outstanding. Always have a good time here.

Service and foodwise better than its brooklyn counterpart. I had the curry and it came in a small potjie which was cute. The flavours were delicious but the cut of meat used was very fatty and full of cartlidge. The waiters are very friendly and attentive but it is a little bit over priced. Otherwise everyone had a good time and the foods all came on time and together.

Fantastic little place, fantastic atmosphere, the feel of the place is impeccable...staff were very friendly, always popping in to make sure you don't need anything...Food was great, large portions and at very good prices...

This gem of a pub-based restaurant has all the trimmings required for a family experience. There are two aspects of a restaurant that will want you to come back for more - the food and the service. The owners and managers of Crawdaddy's in Garsfontein have instilled this into their waiters and their chefs.<br/><br/>The taste of the food that returns from their kitchens is only matched by the service provided by all the waiters. It was unfortunate that the batch of Malva pudding was not up to scratch - as confessed by the manager herself. However, the Dom Pedros more than made up for the loss of a South African iconic dessert. <br/><br/>A friendly atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more.

Always welcomed with friendly staff. Quick assistance and never any issues. Waiter is doing rounds regularly and always keeping us happy. Food is awsome with a huge selection that will suit anybody no matter what time of the day.

Always incredible food with best of service. We really enjoy Crawdaddy's ever time. Good memories are made here. Steak or seafood you can not go wrong. Love the crab!!

Good food, great menu, friendly staff, and awesome management. Relax with an evening on the deck. Very accommodating to suit your requirements, had great evenings there don't be disappointed by not making a booking its a must .

The waiters are friendly and efficient. Tried the crayfish which had about a tablespoon full of meat in it. Which was disappointing considering the price, but the prawns were delicious! Will definitely go back.

We found this restaurant on Zomato. From the reviews it looked like an interesting option, so we made the long trip to try it out. <br/>On arrival we were greeted by a friendly waiter plus they had "pram friendly access" into the restaurant. We later discovered they even had baby changing facilities. Awesome. <br/>We sat on the covered balcony over looking the car park. Pity it wasn't a garden or a dam instead of a busy car park. <br/>There was a friendly atmosphere to the restaurant though. The only gripe I have is the tables are crazy close to each other. Definitely not an intimate table arrangement unless you call sitting all but shoulder to shoulder to other guests, intimate?<br/>Our waiter was very helpful & friendly. He paid us a great deal of attention & enhanced our visit. He even told us about the four hour exam he had to write before he could wait tables. <br/>The calamari starter was tasty. Not awesome but no complaints. The peri peri sauce however was brilliant & believe it or not it was fantastic on the calamari, the chips & the onion rings. <br/>My wife & I both had spare ribs & they were really yummy. I'd recommend them for sure. If also recommend the onion rings. They great. <br/>We gave desert a miss as we were pretty full but the Amarula Pedro's & expresso' were delicious. <br/>Overall we had a great lunch at a very pleasant restaurant and one we enjoyed very much. <br/>This restaurant is more than your average pub lunch.

Its busy, loud, and down to earth. The food is hearty and tasty, especially the steaks that are beyond pub grub standard. Its a friendly joint that is unpretentious and you will really get a bang for your buck. The food is a little generic but it is a chain restaurant so that is to be expected. I generally go with a large group of family that are looking to have some fun and we usually do.

This is one of the best places to eat in South Africa. Period. Love the food, great service. Prices are affordable and you do get bang for your buck.

Our favourite spot! Great & friendly service, wholesome food and the best sangria. Start with the calamari or haloumi starter then try the superb, perfectly cooked fillet with mash followed by the creamiest Kahlua Don Pedro around. Definitely need reservations for the weekend. This branch (Waterglen) is superior to the brooklyn branch by far.

Crawdaddy's Brooklyn is great for a group of people. The vibe is busy, hectic and noisy - but it's great fun.<br/><br/>The food portions are huuuuuge and deeeelicious! And also well-priced.<br/><br/>Service is good and the decor is rustic.<br/><br/>We had battered deep-fried squid heads, chicken schnitzel, a burger and 'Crawchows' - Roasted spud skins, bacon pieces smothered with mozzarella, cheddar cheese, salsa, avo dip and a jalapeño. Oh my gosh, this is definitely a nice dish to share with friends. And the onion rings ...<br/><br/>On 18 November 2014 we had lunch again at the Brooklyn Crawdaddy's.  The onion rings superb!  Hein had a jalapeno cheese bacon burger with chips.  My word, that sauce is just soooo good!!!!<br/><br/>I had the starter portion (R69) of Cannelloni Calamari filled with spinach, feta & haloumi (although one can't taste the haloumi), smothered in Mozzarella cheese and swimming in a tomato sauce.  Goodness, this was a HUGE portion!!!!  And sooo yummy!!!!!<br/><br/>Then I had to end of my meal with something sweet ... they call it a cold chocolate dessert (can't remember exactly how they spelled it ... Chokalate ...)  Its choc mousse layered with marie biscuits in a form, served with a Maraschino cherry and juice.  Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!  Absolutely the perfect size dessert, not too sweet, but oh so heavenly!!!!!!<br/><br/>Prices are really reasonable and portions huge!!  Grab a few friends and go and visit the Brooklyn branch.

Crawdaddy's food is something you would expect to find from a good pub. Nothing special but nothing to complain about and you will always leave with a full stomach. <br/><br/>The main attraction of this restaurant, which is very plain in nature is their crab. Served with a bib, you know that it's going to get messy! This is NOT a good option if you're on a date as you will be elbow deep in delicious sauce as you break and eat a freshly prepared crab.

Although not the greatest cuisine I have ever sampled, Crawdaddy's is a great place for friends and family to have a fun yet affordable night out. The portions are very generous and the quality of the food is good. The menu is varied and there are lot of items that you will not find elsewhere. In my opinion, the best ribs in Pretoria......By Miles!!!. The service is always excellent. Go tonight, you will not be disappointed.
