What a divine restaurant! Tucked away where the old Vilamoura used to be...I discovered this treasure in the moment of spontaneity on Valentine's night! We received a warm welcome on a very popular 'lovers' night'. The mood is warm and hospitable...a rare find in today's over-population of over-priced restaurants. Going with a simple choice of 200g Rump with mash, and a selection of Dijon Mustard and Chives sauce...I was so pleasantly satisfied. A steak so well-balanced with a deep char-grilled flavour and enhanced with the uplifting flavours of the selected sauce...coupled with Beyerskloof Pinotage...absolutely to die for. My great company selected the oxtail dish which I had the pleasure of sampling - and I was equally pleasantly satisfied by the gorgeous flavours and richness of the dish. And then the cherry on top - a delicious cherry chocolate to end it all. Delicate dark chocolate with a liquid-filled centre and a blushing cherry in the middle. Thank you Chaplin's...for the out of this world experience.

My family had dinner tonight at Chaplins and it was awesome. I am vegan ... Our waiter, Kenneth, and the kitchen staff made sure that I did not just have a plate of chips ❤️ I had pap and tomato gravy with sautéed mushrooms and an avo salad. Everyone was happy. Thank you.

On arrival, a hidden English pub was the first thing that came to mind, making my decision doubtful. I was pleasantly surprised by the setup inside. Neat, quite, spacious, friendly staff, calming atmosphere and CLEAN BATHROOMS INSIDE!

I would consider myself a “complainer” but when it comes to my mother - there is no word for it. All I have to say is, thank you, thank you for not letting me sit through an evening of what’s wrong and what could be fixed. Our food was absolutely astounding!

Only thing that could be improved on is the size of the side salad - definitely not worth the cost.

Other than that, it’s been about a month and my mom now responds “Chaplin’s” as if it were a cuisine

Needless to say, don’t judge a book by its cover.

They’re on the Entertainer App as well - another bonus.

Poor exterior but it does lead to a hidden gem. I was initially skeptical with orange decor and cold plastic chairs. Drinks orders were taken promptly but I was extremely disappointed to receive less than half a glass of wine! On enquiring about this I was informed that it was 178ml, carefully measured out. When I enquired about this to the manager, he cheekily said he could put it in a smaller glass and look like it's full. It wasn't cheap either, so that will be the last time for that.

Then the home made bread arrived which was delicious and all was forgiven, followed by a superb Fillet Diane. I did balk at the quite expensive price of steak with a sauce and chips, R230, but I have given this restaurant this rating because of its excellence. I'd rather pay more for excellent food than pay cheaper for mediocracy.

Service and food were both good which makes up for the lack of vibe, rude retorts and priciness. And I will be back.....

We had a lovely family dinner at Chaplin's this evening. The service was extremely polite and attentive. The food was good - we each enjoyed our starters, with favorites being the tuna tartare and carpaccio. Then we had a selection of ribs, steak and burgers which were all great. The desserts were nice, but not out of this world. Overall we had a good time, good food and great service.

Food: I ordered a Fillet steak with a side of Vegetables.
The steak was perfectly cut, perfectly cooked and had great flavour.
The vegetables were lovely. The Butternut was firm and sweet and the spinach was creamy yet not over powering.

The service is excellent and the food came promptly.

Definitely value for money and a hidden gem of a restaurant.

We love Chaplin's Grill! The food is mind-numbingly good, the service absolutely impeccable and the atmosphere truly enjoyable. Without a doubt the best Steakhouse in Johannesburg.

Excellent steaks and very friendly waiters that work hard. The outside of the restaurant looks dead but the inside is very welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

As a vegetarian a steak restaurant isn’t my first choice of restaurant to go, but because I’m married to a meat eater, every now and then we need to visit one. Chaplins always has something decent on the menu for vegetarians (not the normal halloumi cheese, salad and soup). And it’s tasty!

We booked at the restaurant for a special occasion. I was delighted to find Chaplin’s after it closed its Melville doors several years ago. I had always enjoyed the restaurant so I was disappointed after learning it had closed its doors.

We were not disappointed. The food was excellent as was the ambiance in the restaurant. We ordered the mushroom and tomato tart and chicken livers as our starters and the steak platter for our main course. We thoroughly enjoyed the food which was presented to us. The steak was the best I have had in quite some time.
My only complaint is that we were placed in the corner of the restaurant behind a hanging piece of fabric so we felt separated from the restaurant.

It was difficult to get to from the main road, and the exterior is not grand by any measure so I wasn’t expecting much when we walked in. The interior design is just okay but my oh my the steak!!!! I will certainly be going back just for the steak and great service.

What a lovely little steak restaurant in Parkmore. They have Chalmar beef which is halaal and are willing to cook it separately. Big win. Nice ambience and steaks are cooked to perfection. Had beef carpaccio and fillet. Service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommend.

Most moist and tasteful hamburger patty ever. We were asked how well done or rare we wanted the patty. Perfection on a plate. The cheese sauce was amazing. Found this place hidden away after taking a wrong turn which turned out great.

Fantastic wine pairing menu. Really great steak that was well prepared. The atmospere was lovely and the service really good. The only area of improvement might possibly have been on the pastry that was quite tough. Over the course if the evening the staff checked in quite a few times to make sure everything was going well. We did find the babground to the wine extremely interested. We were provided with a full explanation of each wine, where it came from and what made it unique. Truly wonderful evening.

Very nice venue with a cosy atmosphere. They seem to be able accommodate a lot of visitors without feeling cramped - although on the night we went it was quiet which was nice. They played jazzy remixes of modern songs for the background music but still maintained a buzzy vibe. The food was excellent and the wine selection was more than adequate - followed by well brewed Irish coffee. The owner is very friendly and passionate about his business and staff are very friendly knowledgeable about the food and menu.

Really good steak at this restaraunt, have been a few time. Has a romantic feel to it, very nice ambience. I love a good steak, and ofcourse it is made according to your preference. I loved that the steak is aged and if you order it right, it's nice and tender and succulent. I always pair with the creamy mash they have on the menu. Would definitely dine here again.

We needed somewhere special to celebrate a special anniversary. Chaplin's Grill definitely delivered. The starters were interesting and full of flavour. The steak special was cooked to perfection, it has been a while since I've had such a good steak. The dessert was amazing. The service was good and the owner popped past as well. The wine list was extensive and catered to all tastes. We will be back.

The steak house might not look like much from the outside , the food truly delivers and I think the price is backed by the quality of the steaks. The staff is generally very friendly and helpful , I would call this a hidden gem in the Joburg steak house scenes , don't let the outside fool you. Definitely worth a try.

Went for Father's day lunch and were not disappointed. Food was great and service from Nigel our waiter was awesome. I loved that old style home-made bread they serve as appetizer - absolutely enjoyed it. My steak Diane was made to perfection, served with vegetables. the chocolate fondant was dark, decadent and rich, served with vanilla ice cream. Unassuming place, well worth our Sunday afternoon.
