Now I was infact at Turn n Tender Loftus, but I see they’re not on Zomato. ANY VEGETARIANS LOOKING FOR CURRY? THIS IS THE PLACE. I cannot explain how pleased I was with my vegetarian option whilst all the carnivores tucked into the R41 steak special. 🌱 the abundance of food that arrived to the table, in a potjie pot too, and retained its piping hot heat was beyond pleasing 🥑 the flavors were beautiful and rich and I left more than satisfied with my plentiful left overs! 10/10. (Yes, I went back a week later).
An afternoon well spent in an amazing restaurant with gorgeous views. I honestly cannot find anything to fault about this place, from the impeccable service to the scrumptious food. Our waiter Irene was very attentive and really helpful with regards to the menu. For the main course I had a rump steak served with roasted vegetables, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, to drink I had a Long Island Iced Tea. The food comes in really large portions, I didn't even have room for dessert.
The place comes alive at night, especially the outside sitting area. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, it's perfect for a romantic date❤
Our usual Turn 'n Tender is the Boksburg branch.
Thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant on a summer Saturday night.
The food was really good and well presented, my oxtail potjie was a huge portion and very tasty!
The steaks here are great, albeit a little pricey. The service was a little slow for my taste, however, our waitron was very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't go so far as to say its one of the best steakhouses around, but it is still very, very good. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the selection of drinks and steaks is excellent. Just be sure that, when ordering a steak on a skillet, that you order it one level lower than what you usually prefer (i.e. if you like medium, order medium-rare), this is because the skillet will continue to cook your steak while its on the table so if you order it the way you like it, then it may end up being overcooked by the time you finish it.
Overall, it was an enjoyable evening out, and will be returning again.
We were seated rite by the kitchen and it was terribly noisy and warm but the food was quite good! The steak and chips came on a very warm plate so I would suggest getting your steak slightly more rare if you are not a fast eater as it does continue to cook after being served. When we walked in the service was instant and the food came extremely quickly but the after service was very slow!
Such a pleasant afternoon spent in their restaurant.. The waiter was so considerate and caring. As an individual who does not eat red meat the waiter went out of his way to ensure that I had something to eat.
I had initially wanted the trinchado but unfortunately they only served this with beef strips but after he consulted the kitchen staff I managed to get the chicken version of it.
I absolutely love the atmosphere and most importantly the cocktails 😄
Went there on a Thursday evening with a friend, had the American steak done caveman’s style with veggies on the side. The steak was massive and juicy. Veggies were also done really well, very soft and large quantities. The staff was supper awesome that night, the waiter we had had us laughing the entire night. All round I have to say a very pleasant experience would recommend this place to those haven’t tried it.
Turn 'n Tender has a nice ambiance and the food was great! I can always respect a place that makes my steak perfectly. My partner's mozzarella and biltong burger looked good as well. We left satisfied.
Turn ‘n Tender never seem to disappoint. We try and visit this restaurant every few months and have always been happy. The menu is and specialities are always spot on and the service on-point. We tried the ‘Steven’s Sensation’ and was phenomenal. Sirloin cooked to perfection. We like the attention to the customer and how one of the waiters would walk around with the different cuts of meat to explain difference in flavour, texture etc.
First time visit to Turn n Tender and will be the last. We had snails as a starter to share and then for the main we had the Italian Fillet 300g & Greek Fillet 300g. Total of R630 for two people.
Medium to well steak coming out on a skillet without confirming with us, isn't great because the steak becomes tough by the time you eat it.
The BBQ sauce in a bottle had the consistency like it has been boiling in the sun and tasted a bit odd.
Gift who was our waiter didn't clarify upfront the extra cost for fillet instead of rump - but it sound like it was part of the deal. Offered onion rings and had to specifically ask if it was extra. He was extremely sales orientated which is great for the restaurant but will stop customers from returning.
R42 extra for a fillet steak instead of rump is quite high.
Highest bill paid for two people.

The meat is really excellent. Received a sizzling hot plate with rare meat on the side that I then warmed on the plate and got to the perfect medium rare that I like. Sirloin was soft and flavourful. Ribs were sweet and melt in your mouth soft and fillet is also totally worth it. Sides are a bit small but the quality of the meat definitely makes up for it. Very nice wine selection. They are quite busy on weekends so you will wait at least 45 minutes for your meal to arrive.
We had such a lovely dinner. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Food was great!! Its a very refreshing feeling to get this kind of service, because these days it feels like just nobody cares anymore.
Enjoyed one of the best ox tail meals accompanied.ied with tasty creamed spinach , butternut and fried cabbage.
Good friendly service. Good wine selection to choose from.
Wow! Great service from Irene and the quality of the food was in a class of its own. I am really surprised by this TnT branch. I have been to one or two other TnT's but this one just amazed me in every way!
If you are in the mood for a mouth-watering oxtail or t-bone, make a point of visiting Turn n Tender. The food is delicious and the service is amazing.
One of my fave places to go! The most beautiful steaks it just melts in your mouth! The oxtail is also amazing!!!
Excellent food, very good service, relevantly priced - wide selection and clearly experienced kitchen staff...
Had a great evening hosting some of our international guests from around the world for an event this weekend (table of 20 in total), was evident that everyone enjoyed their time/meals...
It was a lovely evening with gooood steak!! Awesome place for a 'Date Night'.
I recommend this place. General impression; good location, lots of tables; option for outside, inside veranda, inside proper. High-end decor, quality finishing, open kitchen view. Menu, plenty options, especially steak with different variations, lean, with fat, more fat, more fat. Burger was awesome, medium rump with fat was great. The options with more fat was not so good, why? Fat was raw and not rendered at all, medium steak was more well-done but still great. All the meat was good quality and tasted great. For a Monday, we were 1 of 2 tables inside, we had to create our own tmosphere 🙂. Meal ended in disappointment with a yellow "scrambled egg" Creme Brulee, the caramelized sugar was nearly nonexistent. Don't order this, it is not really creme brulee. We asked for a cozy spot, but instead got the table in the middle of the restaurant, nearly on top of the till booth. We asked to move another table. The service was noticeably average, waitress was not unfriendly but also not friendly, it seemed like she drew the short straw. To be trained as a waiter and to be trained in hospitality service is two vastly different concepts, some restaurants get it right and in this case not. Evening was 3/5 but we give them 4 stars for our first visit, a second visit might surprise us.
TL, DR: Awesome place with a lovely atmosphere, knowledgeable wait staff and excellent food served on skillets to keep it warm. A little expensive, but worth every cent
Turn 'n Tender has a beautiful aesthetic, from the lights to the benches to the menues, everything tailored to give a sense of quality. It has a great selection of wines and the wait staff(in our case Bongani) knew what wines to suggest pairing with which food items. After ordering drinks(which also includes Stella Artois on tap for the beer drinkers), chef Rupert brought a plate containing their three bestselling steaks(this is a steakhouse, after all! he would exclaim) and explained how each were to be prepared.
Dinner is served on a skillet to keep the dish warm. After dinner, chef DX approached the table and proceeded to convince each of us which dessert to pick, all of which we really enjoyed. Right through the dinner, we were able to hear one another talking, and despite being seated next to the kitchen we weren't bothered once by noise from there. A lovely selection of music included jazz and tied a wonderfjl experience together. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
