We had a great corporate lunch event. The food was great and the staff very friendly. Parking is a mission as you need to drive around to Stella Street to park. Nothing a glass of wine couldn't fix.

We had an amazing Date Night. Our waiter, Liston, was awesome. Our steaks melted in our mouths and the onion rings were to die for... I couldn't decide on dessert so Liston offered to make the choice and came back with the tastiest cheesecake! Thank you for an awesome date night... Traveling from the North of Pretoria was absolutely worth it!!! We will be back with friends!!!
We went for Valentine's day supper. From the start everything was awesome! Greeted immediatly and taken to our table. We had friendly servers. The food was amazing!! We had spicy chourico and beef carpaccio for starters. Then we had wild mushroom gnocchi and chicken kebab for mains. The chicken was a little bit dry. The rest of the food we could not fault. The atmosphere is something beyond anything I have experienced. The cocktails were nice. We will be going back for supper again! The chefs took time to come and talk to us, which was amazing!!

About a month ago I attended the relaunch of The Bull Run hosted by Johannesburg in Your Pocket. The Bull Run, situated in the heart of Sandton across from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, is an ode to Wall Street and the steakhouses of downtown New York (thus the clever name). The Bull Run has recently undergone a R20 million renovation and extension giving rise to the new Dollar Bar, the unveiling of the great bull sculpture and a gorgeous redesigned interior.
we found this place on the entertainer app...5 star....the food was cooked to perfection, we ordered medium rare fillet and we got it...we also ordered chicken cordon bleu and the chicken was so juicy....we did corkage which was R90....pricing is not bad and had very good service. vibe is great and venue is beautiful

Okay, I was ready to give this place a solid 1 out of 5, but as the night progressed, my experience got better.
It started off with getting to the Bull run at around 20:00pm on a Thursday, and it was very busy. To my disappointment, it seems that the restaurant didn't care about anyone who wasn't at a large table or something because I came here alone to get a drink while I waited for my girlfriend and boy was the service horrific. I got a table outside and I waited 5 minutes to even get a waiter to come to me. Once someone spotted me, I asked for a drinks menu and I only got a wine list as well as a cocktail menu when I specified that I wanted to see what beers and ciders they had. I just ordered a hunters dry instead of beer because I couldn't wait anymore. I waited another 10 minutes just to get served a bottle of cider and given a glass. During this period, I could see the waiter who took down my drink order focus his attention on a table that had about 8 people. Completely forgot about me.
I left the restaurant to meet up with my girlfriend at the Protea Marriot next door and I had planned to take her to Nelson Mandela Square for dinner. Fortunately for the Bull run and for me as well she was too tired and asked if we could eat in. I decided to try again and run downstairs to order some food so I can bring back to our room.
This is where my experience got better and had it not been for my previous visit, would I have given them a deserved 4.5 out 5. I got there and ordered an ostrich fillet for myself, which was cooked beautifully (medium) and got my girlfriend some calamari. Also ordered some cheesecake for dessert and a virgin strawberry daiquiri for her. The food was amazing and the service this time around was satisfactory. I was helped by a friendly lady and she made me change my opinion.
Because I experienced both sides of the bad and great service, in one day, I feel that a 3.5 is fair. I would still come here for something to eat and I recommend it to anyone who loves good food, but consistency is key.
Fridate at The Bull Run!
Beautiful decor + ambience, really has a classy feel! Our waiter, Godfrey was brilliant! Made polite and accurate suggestions, guided some of our choices of sides and was very attentive.
My finance had the feta + olive stuffed fillet, wrapped in bacon - he raved about it! I had the lamb cutlets and I was less thrilled, however, I found the lamb to be a bit dry/chewy. Next time, and there will be a next time cause we had a great time, I'll try the ostrich instead. Must comment, the meat is perfectly cooked. If you ask for rare, medium, etc. That's what you will get.
So good we ate here twice. Great selection of top notch meals stuck as Kingklip (fish) and grilled prawns.
Service was exemplary and the desserts were tasty.
Excellent service to start off with. Food wise, a good variety and selection to add to your taste. Good food good flavour properties in their dishes. Something for every one. Definitely a must, well done guys.
Awesome setting - service was phenomenal. Ordered the 350g rump which wasn't tender at all, the steak was incredibly tough and I had it at M/R. Possibly a change of butchery would need to be done to get me back as I doubt anyone could fix that quality of meat. Besides the steak - will definitely be coming back for a drink to enjoy the setting.
Nice restaurant in the Protea hotel.
The service is quite fast - the staff is friendly.
Ambiance is cozy.
The food is not bad at all.
I had the chicken and prawn curry which was very tasty.
The salmon wrap was nice and the chicken and parmesan salad was ok.
Must try: the Don Pedro cocktail! Really sweet but strong - amazing desert! 😏
After having visited the restaurant years ago, i had more of their food recently at an Eat Out SteakOut. Their offering was lovely...prosciutto covered fillet with cheese and jalapeños...luv'd it. They even gave us some of their amazing biltong!
Couldn’t pick a better spot to grab a bite in Sandton. Great food, great service and an awesome atmosphere. You will be extremely well taken care of in this fantastic steak house. Socks and the rest of the team are just great, and have a keen eye for detail.
We went to The Bull Run on a Monday night and it had a very lively atmosphere. We had about a party of 12, the service was excellent, and they were able to seat us immediately. The food for everyone was absolutely terrific and the cost was very reasonable. If we have time, we will definitely return. Thanks for making our dinner date a success!
Another review that I HAVE to do while eating in the restaurant because… wow!
This time I am on a solo trip so the noise of the bar was what I wanted, there is a more quiet section (and private rooms too).
The restaurant is busy as heck and they deserve to be because the food, and cocktails, are out of this world! Just called my husband and told him to definitely add this restaurant to his repertoire!
The service is a bit slow at times but that’s because it’s crazy busy, but it’s also crazy worth the wait.
The Bull Run is an excellent venue for date nights to corporate lunches, would like to say Thank you to the bull run staff for making my wife and I feel welcome and at home during our date night out! Thank you to Cyprian for the lovely service as well as the managers John and Ryan for checking up on us and making us feel welcome at all times.
The food here is absolutely top ten quality and the dishes are elaborately planned down to presentation and expectation of their customers.
Would recommend this steak House to anyone!
Loved this place and will highly recommend it to steak lovers. Food us cooked on site and well cooked. Worth the price. Great service . We're were served by Brian and he served us with aroha.

Fantastic dinner in the private dining room at The Bull Run Restaurant Sandton
My creamy snails were delectable, and my Pork Ribs and Chips were just yummy. The meat was so tender.
No need for dessert, but I did taste a piece of the Key Lime Pie and Opera Cake. The Key lime Pie is quite nice, light and refreshing.
Thanks to Brian for his service during our dinner.

It is a very beautiful place with a great atmosphere, and I even forgot to take pictures... our waiter was so friendly with a very positive attitude...would definitely recommend 👌
My Mother's Day lunch was phenomenal. We had such a chilled Sunday, the atmosphere, the food and the wine was just great. Will definitely return
The bill run was such a breath of fresh air. I love the service and the atmosphere. It was easy to find, the food was affordable as well.
Been here a few times for after work meals or for lunch during the day and they are always so efficient, great service , delicious food and good vibe. They do get super busy and you might have to wait a bit to be seated if you don’t have a reservation. They make amazing ribs and the calamari is very good. Thank you to Nhlanhla for his amazing service during my last visit! I popped in for a super quick lunch and he made sure I was able to leave within my desired timeframe. I also appreciate that whether you are in a small group or a huge group they provide consistently great service.
