My husband and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary lunch today. Our waitress was outstanding and the food was exceptional. Thank you and we will certainly be back.
After quite a few friends told us about the decline in quality after new management, I am happy to say that could not be further from the truth.
I always order the New York burger, and in December the patty was tiny in comparison to the bun, but today it was back to it's normal, bun size. The mushrooms were fresh and everything just tasted delicious. The table ordered the mushroom soup and peri-peri chicken livers as starters, both equally great. The mushroom soup is very filling.
For mains we had the classic burger, New York burger, Zanzibar chicken and Cowboy cut meat. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted delicious. For dessert we had the apple crumble, not your traditional apple crumble, but still very nice.
Lovely place and friendly staff. Ben's on the Beach remains our family's favourite restaurant.
My experience here was very good, our waitress (Megan) was super friendly and recited the specials upon taking our drinks so we had time to process the specials. I had the fillet with peppercorn sauce and mash potatoes. My fillet was 250g cooked perfectly to medium and the pepper sauce was also not too hot. The mash potatoes weren’t bad but I did expect better, was still enjoyable though. The view was 3 stars and would recommend. My dessert was split with a friend, we had New York Cheese Cake with lemon curd and a chocolate brownie with toffee sauce. They were both great but cheesecake was very rich. Also our table has at least ordered 25 coffees between all 13 of us.
I go there on a regular basis and find the Management always friendly and helpful. Was there last week and got a miserable waitress and had to ask for another who turned out to be great. Food is consistently good. Always have a steak and have never been disappointed. Booking recommended especially on weekends.
Food was excellent. The hake with the curry sauce was delicious, piri piri chicken falling off the bone, Turkish chicken had a lovely yoghurt based sauce and the grilled yellow tail was tasty too.
The great part was that the waitress knew the menu, the food and the wines and provided excellent service actually worthy of a tip.
Highly recommended.
Simply special great food great service great specials great service to be recommended to all special service to kids friendly staff excellent pricing
We stumbled across this hidden gem by accident while cruising for a place to have dinner. We ended up going there twice. The manager made a plan to seat us even though we had made no reservation. The service was wonderful while the atmosphere still remained chilled beach type style but the food was equal to anything I have eaten in some of the best restaurants this country has to offer. Everything from the tempura, babotie samoosas to the most divine steaks was on offer and we made sure we tried it all. A big thumbs up for me for this local little gem
Perfect!
I love this place. The food is magic.
Service has always been good and the view of course is something very special on its own.
I have been here a few times and recommend this to anyone.
Decent place for a weekend lunch. Food and drinks were good. Service was average, could be improved upon.
Still probably one of the better spots on the beach front.
Have been here twice over the last 6 months. Had chicken livers which i really loved, and then the tongue. Was prepared well and i really enjoyed it. The waitress was very friendly and helpfull. The window and booth seats are the best. For a romantic date i would suggest the booth. Also had the springbok shank here. Was really worth it.
We went to Ben's on the beach with our toddler. The waitress was so sweet to us. Very accommodating of our little one. We ordered the steak, lamb neck, and fish and chips for our daughter. The meal ended with a milk tart Panna cotta ;). The restaurant is across the beach. Such beautiful views! A must go if in Strand
Brilliant food, Brilliant service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for a lovely, warm, welcoming atmosphere to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. It definitely is on the beach.
Wonderfully spacious, nice decoration, very friendly staff,
We had a very good dinner and a wonderful evening.
Good clean eat out place always enjoy with family just need to book in advance sometimes they fully crowded so gets noisy but always great memories there to make
Have not been to Ben's in years, it was a lovely evening, great food, fillet done perfectly and the sauce was amazing, friendly service, amazing view of the sea, lovely atmosphere. I'm looking forward to going back again soon.
Really good burgers, pleasant atmosphere and good value for what we spent. Bout R110 - R175 I got a crumbed chicken burger and my dad got a New york Burger, full steak meat mix patty. Regret being too full to try their desserts, looked really good! Will come again soon!
What a great chilled place with fantastic service. Full blown 5 star 🌟 rating for these guys. Very attentive service, smiles all around, decent pricing and fine meals. We'll done to the front of house and the kitchen. Keep up that standard 👏
Finally.... a quiet and calm place to eat dinner in peace. The food is very good and well priced. Excellent if you have particular dietary needs. There's soft lighting and the staff are attentive and professional. I'll definitely be going back soon
