Had a nice sun-set view, spacious seating. Service was fantastic this time. Wed been there a few months ago, and service was slow, and there were some mix-ups. But this time really made up for it. The manager was very friendly, the waitress was very competent. There was an issue with our one order item, and the service team handled it flawlessly. Sincere apology and the meal was replaced.Food was absolutely fantastic!Juicy, flavourful.And the calamari and onion rings were perfect examples of Spur crispy standard. Definitely worth a visit again.

One can easily judge the quality of a restaurant by the quality of its coffee and potato chips/fries. The chips made in this kitchen are terrible. Don’t bother dining here.

UPDATE:THANK YOU TO JASON AND THE TEAM FOR COMING THROUGH AND NOT ONLY CONTACTING ME TO APOLOGIZE BUT ALSO REPLACING THE MEAL AND INSISTING TO DESPITE MY RESERVATIONS. THEY ALSO OFFERED TO DELIVER BUT I DECLINED.WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND SHAWNEE SPUR AS MY GO TO SPUR RANCH FOR FOOD AND SERVICE!THANK YOU AGAIN!!————————————————————-My first time at this Spur and the service was amazing! Just a pity my steak was not - ordered the cheddamelt medium and it was well done. It actually looked precooked/steamed 🤢 and then placed on the grill to get those grilled lines and then dipped in marinade.How disappointing!! Gosh we know it’s level 4 and all businesses need support which we the public are doing but it’s literally no excuse for sub- standard food! Don’t you just hate spending money on poor products? Also level 4 means takeaways so you can’t send it back if you’re unhappy. 🙄😤

Great service and great staff. Sadly no alcohol changes a lot for many diners who want to wind down with a beer or a stiff shot. Also bacon... But alas... respect non the less! 🙏🏽🙌🏽 great play area and amazing caring child minders.

Shawnee Spur Steak Ranch1 Sentence Summary:Catch up with your chops and ribs combos at this friendly and comfy chain outpost.What’s good here?Despite sampling it oodles of times, the Spur menu always takes me some time to choose - as it’s always enticingly comprehensive.Whilst the chops and combos generally catch my eye, don’t overlook the sides (as there’s lots of value to be had by throwing in a few extra ribs or wings).Nice access to the restaurant - at the top of a car park by all mall; no more traipsing for ages through the shops to get your scoff on!What’s an ‘Opportunity for Improvement’?I always wish Spur Onion Rings were just a bit thicker; but then they’d be like the deep-fried beasts served up dripping in the UK I guess.Tell me MoreWhenever I’ve been in any Spur - and that’s a good few - they’ve always been consistent. I visited this restaurant on a quiet afternoon and service was still fast, friendly and welcoming whilst the food was nice as always.Top TipDont forget to buy some of their superb sauces for a take-home treat!How many Stars?4 - the extra touches on the service, and the consistency of the food quality (especially on a quiet afternoon) made it a very good experience.Anything to disclose?No - paying customer, anonymously visited.How I Rate:I normally rate 1-4, with 5 reserved for ’Exceptional’, i.e. “deviating from the norm” or “truly worthy of note”.* 4 stars = very good* 3 stars = good* 2 stars = average or acceptable* 1 stars = poor

Appalling service to say the least!!!! The waiter (Walsh) was rushing to take orders without actually taking time to listen to what we actually wanted, and ended up assuming we wanted certain sides which we did not order as we werent given a chance to do so. He acted like he was doing us a favor. We had to call him out on seperate occasions when he started walking off before we finished telling him what we wanted to order....each time we asked for an additional item from the menu it was the same thing of him just rushing before we were done with our request. The manager apologized on his behalf but that didnt stop him from giving us sub standard service even after the apology from his manager. Unpleasant experience and I wont be going back there. I would rather go further out to try another Spur.

1. The food was delicious!2. The waiter was friendly.3. The timing for food is as a little in the slower side compared to other Spur stores but the food was worth the wait.We ordered the quesadilla; as well as wing and mushroom combo - delicious!A suggestion- nachos and wings combo! 👍🏻

By way of background, I love spur. However, the last few times I bought food from here, there is just something missing. The ribs are soft and moist but just lack seasoning from the inside. The same with my double Cheddarmelt Burger. The patties were a perfect medium, but no salt at all from within. Completely bland and no smokey char in the background that you are used to with Spur. Same with the ribs.On a positive, the steaks still taste good, and a great find are the kiddies chicken Nuggets, best I have tasted anywhere and a nice size too. The smileys are a hit with the kids always too.I really hope Spur sorts out that something missing soon.

Family restaurant that works for my grandkids each time. Expensive but quality food. The jug cooler is divine and value for money - strawberry cooler very refreshing. Excellent starters! No one beats spur steak.

The worst nachos of any of the spur franchises I have visited. Generally something Spur does well, but not here. Almost no salsa. Service is slow but friendly. Decent play area for the kids. Rest of the food is ok.

Terrible, terrible. Very disappointed. My bf an I were really wishing for Spurs finger licking good sticky ribs. I ordered a salad on the side. My salad was not fresh at all, my lettuce had brown bits. Our ribs were disgusting. The ribs tasted as if the meat had been boilt. The meat had no flavor, the basting was not sweet an sticky. We called the manager. He informed us that they no longer use the same basting. They use the same one for the steak. You cannot advertise original spur ribs if they are not made with the original basting. A month ago we ate at spur at the airport. Another terrible experience. My bf an I both got burgers. The patty was horrible, no flavor. Tasted like pets mince. The buns were dry. My salad was not fresh. Spur has really dropped their standards, very disappointing. I grew up with The spur being a big part of our life. Every month end my mom took us there

Great place. Has really good views from some of the windows, a play area for children, and not too crowded. Prices are not bad. Great service and friendly staff, who can handle situations well and are good with the kids. Will definitely go back. Just note it is halaal so there is no pork or alcohol.

Hi. Please sort out your telephone lines as it is currently not working. It appears that both uber and mr d do not deliver to crowthorne, kyalami which is 12minutes and 7.5km away from you. Please resolve this..as there are not many halaal places

Used to go here every week. Not a fan anymore. Its halaal now so they have no alcohol and limited menu. Fair enough if its against your religion to eat or drink certain things but at least give us our own choice to. We are also moving on from Spur now...

Service was good! Our Waitron Mary was excellent BUT the food was pathetic.. I ordered Chicken Schnitzel and the chicken was over done and thready...as in the pic.Wife ordered Chicken burger but similar experience...The waitron reported to the manager and manager came and apologized and resolved the issue! Will come back again to see the change.

Review №25

I would like to say both the food and service and quality was superb. I hope that being newly Halaal the quality does not drop over time. I also came I. When it was not as busy so perhaps that also adds to a drop in quality generally at most Spurs . It something that annoys me as after an experience like this I will expect the same the next time as well I hope

New owners, still a great place for the kids to play. The downside is that they don’t have a liquor license anymore and no more pork ribs which is one of my favorites. If you are Muslim you will love it.

Review №42

After returning to Spur for the first time since we were kids, we were heavily disappointed. (this is a review for Spur in general)The food tastes like unhealthy fast food, but you pay the same price as you would at other craft burger places. My stomach was even upset the next day.The next time our friends with kids want to go grab something to eat well find another child-friendly place and might be willing to cover their bill as well! Spur really feels like a rip-off where you only pay for the name and not the food.EDIT: I updated my rating based on the entire experience. The service was excellent, the restaurant is clean and the kids area is run very well. Its just the food that is really not good value-for-money and I think that is part of the Spur brand, which I think you really cant change being part of the franchise.To be more specific, the onion rings are nothing like what we grew up with at Spur, the burger patty was dry (not medium as requested). On top of that, the nachos felt like oily Doritos chips (go to Salsa Mexican who serve amazing nachos at the same price). If the food was about 20% cheaper this quality could be justified, but if Im paying the same price as at Rocomamas and Salsa Mexican, thats the quality I expect.

Great service. And understanding staff. We had a baby with us and needed something for the baby...they did not have mash unfortunately but very quickly brought out a baked potato and butter which we could mash and give the baby. Party of 6 so appreciated attention and everything arriving as asked for. Mandla was our waiter and very pleasant and friendly. Keep it up guys!

UPDATE: Thank you to Thys for your speedy and personal response! We look forward to posting an awesome review in the near future!Had the most shocking take-away from this Spur this past Sunday. The T bone steak was ordered as medium and on opening the box at home, found an almost alive piece of meat, dripping blood, and no T bone in sight. Absolutely disgusting, no wonder the restaurant was empty.

Review №54

Shawnee Spur is located where there is sufficient safe parking The waiters are really friendly and make one feel right at home. The food is of reasonable quality as Spurs go but that quality is not always consistent. The chicken schnitzel for example has been both excellent and hard and over cooked at times. It would be nice if they kept this menu item to a specific quality and thickness.We still enjoy going there and will be going back.Toilets are clean and well looked after and the furniture is new. It has a child’s play gym area as well as a gaming area for the older kids.

A Spur with an exceptional view of the landscape. Food is on par. Although staff are very friendly, finding a waiter should not be a task of the patron. Waiters should know how often to check up on patrons and always pay attention to them. We literally had to wave down the nearest waiter to go get our waiter for service.

Staff are always friendly and welcoming. I love the breakfast special and kiddie play-area (if you have children). The view of Paulshof and Sandton is great with all the leafy foliage.

Best spur I have ever had the pleasure of dining at.Somehow, the crumbled mushrooms that ever other spur struggles with - piping hot in the inside and so cold on the outside, these guys gave restored my faith in.
