Some of the best service if had in a long time. Keep up the good work. Awesome food.... awesome staff. 👌
What a lovely evening we had🎊🎉🎊🎉Dan, our host, was a pleasure, professional and very informative. The atmosphere, the decor, the outlay of the restaurant, the presentation of our food, the food itself, all is truly exceptional. The pizza was the best that we have had by far. Gauteng outlets, please take note.. We will definitely be back.
Really fun eatery and bar which is very unsuspecting from the front. With three separate eating areas it gives a lot of different options: the ground floor, back patio and upstairs tented area.Great choices of thick milkshakes topped with marshmallows to fresh craft beers on tap it’ll quench your thirst whatever you’re in the mood for. They have a nice selection of pizzas and I can recommend the pepperoni which includes fresh tomatoes as a nice twist. The fried snacks including nicely thick battered corn dogs and jalapeño poppers were great. Also have a good classic chicken nuggets and schnitzel. All delicious options!
WOW, the ribs were really good. Everyone was very friendly.
Honestly unsure how this restaurant is so highly rated. I’ve been here twice before and have been disappointed both times with the food and service. Tried to give it another chance but unfortunately to no avail. Definitely do not recommend.
Interesting decor, casual restaurant. Coffee is really good. We have only had breakfasts there. They open nice and early.
Celebrated my 50th birthday there. Had an awesome experience. Staff are friendly and very helpful.
Good food great staff
Snuck in here for a quick breakfast with coffee. Pleasantly surprised by this spot. Comfortable and well priced. Ill be back for sure.
Great atmosphere.. Fantastic food. And the cocktails to die for. Awesome vibe
This is what they call a happy coincidence. Was looking for someplace to eat and this was the second place to come up on Google Maps. They have a steampunk vibe going. And the menu is like a little news paper. Food portions are decent and overall reasonably priced. Bonus, sat the whole afternoon chatting with a local. They also have a cocktail bar on top and and the smokers have the best beer garden at the back.
The vibe, the layout and the seating options are well thought through, not feeling cramped like other restaurants. Now the food... holy smokes! 10/10. And I am a big guy, I could just finnish the large serving. Very tasty, well presented.
I enjoy breakfast every Wednesday morning, with my friend, at The Bench. The breakfast quality is tasty & consistent. The staff are professional and courteous. A good experience every week. Keep up the good work. Well Done
Great service and food. Best decaf latte in George ❤️
A reasonably priced restaurant, with a family friendly front (ice cream bar included) and a bar smoking area upstairs. Excellent selections on cocktails and basket/snacks foods. The pizzas are great, specifically the rib pizza, clean bathrooms and friendly staff. Can get packed quickly so reserve if you are planning on larger groups.
One of the best waiter experiences Ive had in a long time.
Loved the vibe and the cappi made me very happy! Good coffee!
Great Monday-night offer on Pizzas for the whole family.The staff was extremely friendly and helpful!
Hands down the best Pizza in George. Great atmosphere and cozy.Great service from #DANtheman
Food & service very nice....but no butter knife and my second Americano was served with cold milk😪
You can just relax and enjoy yourself here.
Best waitress ever.. Mamoese shakes. Friendly, fast service. Clean and vibrant ambiance. Went back for more. Food of good quality. Well done
Great atmosphere and friendly staff, burgers are to die for🍔
My absolute favorite place to go to in George. Amazing people, amazing food, amazing drinks, good prices and a lekker atmosphere. Totally love thia place
The service is horrible. My partner and I waited almost 30 minutes for our food.
Definitely will go back there again
Great staff! We arrived just before closing and they still offered us great service and allowed us to enjoy till closing!
Great restaurant with a great vibe and really good food at very reasonable prices
We came for a quick lunch that turned into a very long lunch. We waited for our beverages and then we waited for our food. So long, that I had to see a manager to find out where our food were. Almost none existant service from the waiter. The Chicken Snitchel was amazing but the Nachos not so great.
Ribs were the best and Basket...Waiter/Bar lady kept glasses full and table clean.We laughed and enjoyed the meal so much.Full plate,even had doggy bag for home to nipple as a midnight snack
Lovely food, friendly staff
Awesome poppers! Attentitive staff. Good variety on the menu. Rustic, rustig vibe. Lovely

Breakfast special is excellent value and top quality food. Friendly, efficient service.
Fast service, delicious food 👌🏻
Very nice, brought our children with, the waitress was exceptional.
One of my favourite places to go in George! Dorette is absolutely wonderful, she is the definition of what an excellent waitress should be! Try the burgers, crumbed mushrooms and pizzas! And the Jalapeno poppers are the best Ive ever had.
Really enjoyed this restaurant - nice atmosphere and decent food for decent prices. I will be back
Had a delicious breakfast and the best cappuccino in town. Service was great and restaurant clean. Will be back!!
I love the food and how affordable it is. It is my favourite outing spot.
Good staff and service, good food for the area in which it is situated. It would be a drop in for me.

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND AMAZING FOOD!!
Very great place to be at they have the best food
Love this City vibe in George
Beautiful place and excellent service indeed
Breakfast and coffee very nice!
The Bench is a great place to pop in for a quick burger and beer. They have a selection of cold and fresh beers on tap. I had the blue cheese burger. The burger itself was very tasty, but the blue cheese sauce was very disappointing. It was bland and tasted more like flour than blue cheese. The rest of the family had hake & chips which they loved. The hake portions were small, but I have noticed the same at a few restaurants in George lately. The service was friendly and good.
Get food. Great service. Good value for money.
Great atmosphere and fantastic service. We didnt have dinner this time round but we will definitely come back again.
Excellent food and great service !
Nice place to be
The atmosphere is really cool.
Food is great, place looks good and always welcoming and the bar is on point
Good service
Great service great food
Food is amazing, their pizzas are off the chart. Would recommend them any day.
Absolutely loved it. Im a Joburger but certainly coming back when Im in town.
Great food, great atmosphere!
Ambiance and service top class. Steak sinewy... Probably bad luck for me rather than the norm. Friends meal was also really good... I will return!!
I have never had a bad experience at The Bench. The staff are amazing, their craft beers are at great prices, their food is very good(although the one waiter told me the burger I ordered would be hot Nd it wasnt hot enough), the atmosphere speaks volumes(even on quiet nights) and I tend to feel like family just because.Hats off to Jess and Kanya. Theyre the reason Im happy to go back ANY TIME!!!
Good food overall. Only thing I disliked was how oily the fish was when ordering the fish and chips. I thought it was a fluke the first time but second time around it was just as oily.
Good food, interesting menu, very creative decor. Best burgers and nachos in the South!
Good vibe with good food and friendly service. Live music on Friday with some beer and cocktails on special. We ordered a pizza and burger. Both were delicious. The onion rings are top notch!
Welcoming staff and an all round warming atmoshphere. Piza is full-flavoured and perfeclty prepared. Modest pricing and a good selection on their menu. High quality coffee.
I needed quiet due to my husband being very sick in the Mediclinic and I got quiet. Thank you for adhearing to my reqùest
Slow service, we were left to sit and wait for over 20 minutes even after an order was placed we had to call a different waitress who retook our order. She at least did deliver speedily therefore 2 stars and not one. This delay in our drinks order cost you a lunch order as we did not have time left to order food not as if the place was overly busy. Such a pity as this restaurant has so much potential.
