I love Trumps, I’ve been here about 4 times and everything I’ve had, I was satisfied with. Their fries are amazing, crispy on the outside and just yummy on the inside. Fresh meat, made to one’s liking. Drinks are non-alcoholic friendly. Service is attentive and polite. The atmosphere is great, relaxing. Great grill-house
Called to reserve a table with a couch in a quiet part of restaurant.Arrived to be told that there was no reservation. Luckily a suitable table became free within a few minutes.They brought us the menu, which we were told would double as a placemat. An example of nice from far, but far from niceThe placemat looked nice till u actually pick it up. It has long since passed its days of function, as can be seen in the photos.Next they bring some complimentary bread for the table.. the knife is very poor quality and bent at the tip, see the attached photo.We place an order for kids ribs... fair portion, good taste, pricey, but acceptable.Livers for starters... Good portion, fair price, good taste.Fillet steak, with mushroom sauce.. fair price, fair portion, well cooked.Rib eye. Good portion, bit pricey, poorly cooked, sent back to kitchen twice.Had no time for dessert, do cannot comment on that.Overall, fair pricing, nice ambience, but lacks attention to detail. Not exactly upmarlet as they advertise.2 adults and 1 child ate filling meals, with non alcoholic beverages, total of 790, standard 10% tip was given .
Nice restaurant, perfect for a weekday or weekend lunch. Has a relaxed atmosphere, but can be quite noisy if you arrive during peak times. The staff was very friendly and attentive and complied to Covid 19 regulations. The menu is very accommodating to almost everyone, even the pickier eaters. Id recommend any of the combo meals if youre indecisive like me. Portions were quite generous, so you also get your moneys worth. Food presentation was very photo friendly. If Im nitpicking, the only disappointments were that most of the cocktails advertised on the menu werent actually available to order and we werent offered wipes or hot towels to wash our hands prior to our meals. Overall great experience, would recommend.
Went out to celebrate a special occassion..ended up having supper at trumps..due to covid had to make a pre-booking..Upon arrival we didnt wait too long..service was good..food was excellent..just dont sit close to the door that leads to the outside court..as people enter and exit the door..on a cold night it can be pretty cold..The overall experience was great..What was also nice is that you have a beautiful view of the square as u enter the restuarant.Place a beautifully lit up. It was good to see the huge Nelson Mandela bronze statue..which again reminded me why I love our country..with all its diversity and struggles..In summer u get to sit outside and can enjoy the views and all that Sandton has to offer...shopping, site seeing and really awesome architecture.A definite must visit😘
The place is nice and cosy. The food is terrible, I ordered seafood pasta, they literally served me sauce with a dash of pasta. Not to mention that the sauce was just terrible, I didn’t even eat it. Had a cocktail, it was just ordinary, not bad but not delicious. My friend ordered chips and chicken, the chicken was just ok, nothing special. The chips were really nice.
Great food.I judge a place by its chips and Trumps fries were as crispy and well-seasoned as I like them. They are NOT stingy with their portions.I even got a nice complimentary slice of red velvet cake & ice-cream for my birthday and the waiter sang to me. What a treat!Definite value-for-money 👌
Nice place with really nice food but sometimes too crowded
One of the best steaks I have eaten. This place gets a 5 star rating from me just for the steak alone. The place is situated in Nelson Mandela square. Very upmarket and has a nice variety of drinks to choose from. The waiter who attended to us was a very friendly gentleman which makes the place even better. There are no words to describe how good the food was so I would say please try it out. Final word, I highly recommend and is an absolute must visit for tourists and locals.... Easy 5 Star
Trump Grill House and Butchery has an ambiance of a classic traditional grill house.Pros:- They have a set menu which goes for R300 where you can have a selection of a starter, main and desert. Perfect if you are on a budget.- I was served by Sipho who frequentlt checked on us, he was engaging and suggested solid reccomendations which I enjoyed like the Garlic Lemon Calamari.- The ribs and wings combo are well seasoned and the portions are generous.- Limited desert options but definately try their trio of icecream, which left me wanting for more.Cons:- We had a hickup with our reservations but it was swifty resolved by the manager. Making a reservation is very important because this place is popular very busy. Have a meal there and youll see why.
Hospitality is a priority to them, and their steaks are very delicious. I would go there every day if I could👌👌👌
Absolutely mouthwatering and delicious plentiful meals. The servers are top notch very friendly and helpful. Still as wonderful as my first experience more than 12 years ago 👌🏽
I had a fabulous time on my birthday and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends
Had the ostrich with a mushroom and cranberry sauce. Absolutely delicious! Great service as well. Ive always loved Trumps since dining with my parents as a kid 🙂 So good to see how the restaurant has grown over the years ❤
Classy, food is great. Great experience all round
It was my wifes birthday yesterday and we were looking forward to a really fabulous night. Unfortunately this was not to be.Starters were very good.My main course which was a medium sirloin steak was fibrous and chewy. I asked for it to be replaced with a medium rare steak (I dont like my steak medium rare but I did not want to risk another medium steak. If you say the steak is Karan beef and 21 day matured then I am not sure how the chef got it wrong. We know the Karan beef brand well and we often do them at home, medium over open flame, and they are tender and flavourful).My wifes lamb shank was a wee bit on the dry side.There was also kids at a booth near us who were bringing the roof down with adults egging them on. Management at Trumps did nothing to call that table to order.Our waitress Tracy was good and got her full tip.Overall not a great dining experience and dont feel we got bang for our buck.
Good value for money, friendly staff. Best chicken livers Ive eaten in a long time, half chicken peri peri was a bit dry and lacked spices.
I love this place because its consistently great. The waiter staff work really hard running arouns but you dont get punished with their frustrations. The food was perfect, the ribs are always done well here. The mojito was a tad too sweet but overall Id spend money here anyday.
Ordered a fillet steak, it was incredible - the taste was really good - the service is good and they have like a small shop right next to the restaurant were you could buy some pepper/sauces/meat etc... try the springbok carpaccio, its a must.
Beautiful customer service with delicious meals. accomodative from family dinner to birthday celebrations. always happy with everything in this restaurant 🙌
Went to Trumps Grill few days back. The place was great. Customer service was impeccable, we called our waiter numerous times unintentionally and he never complained. Very friendly. The food was superb and great portions have to admit, great value for money. Will be returning soon.
Vibey yet chilled atmosphere. Friendly staff. Excellent service and most importantly Delicious food.
I was at Trumps Grillhouse. Their service and food is still very good. Worth the money
The meat here is like no other place Ive tasted. I travel the world each day as my job and i can honestly say that the meat from here is like no other place in the world. Whenever I come here I always buy 3kg of beef to take with me. The prices are cheap, the staff are fantastic and the food is great and there is ample selection for all including non meat lovers although limited. My trips always include this restaurant to have dinner and restock bbq meats. The butcher gives you the best cuts of meat and cut to the sizes you want ans then vacuum seal to keep it fresh. I cant wait for things to go back to normal so I can visit again.
Top of the range meat quality. The steak is fork licking good. This is what i call a steak house. The food was quick and service from Vuyo was superb. I visited the wine collection as well, wow👌. The manager at wine section gave me the best wine tasting service and he is rich with history of his collection.I would recommend a late night dinner date or a link up with friends over some goood tasting one and the best steak house in the city.The short great history on your table is remarkably depicted by the taste of their food.
The service, the food the biltong... Was exceptional... Loved it
This was the driest Lamb Shank Ive ever seen.Even if I dipped it in water it would still come out dry.They had a nice veg pasta though.
Good food, busy but efficient. Something for everyone
Fast, friendly service! Food tasted great ☺️
Very good service.. and the food is amazing
I really had a great time and it was my sister in-laws birthday. I will definitely come back, oh gosh the steak is awesome, I actually love the bottled chilli with peppers I love everything. The lady who served us did a great job and she was looking presentable, was very friendly and the cocktails were amazing. If I go on I will end up writing a book hahaha great job guys.
I would rate them with 6 stars if it were possible!If you are a meat fan, this is a place you should visit.One of the best meats I have ever had, memorable!We asked for a Rib and Ribeye, and please let the diet on a side and enjoy their French fries, they have a spice on top that make them unique. Also try dry meat, something typical in South Africa.Congratulations Trumps Team👏
At first I wasn’t thrilled about the name of the restaurant but decided to give it a try. I’m glad i did!!The hosts and waiters were wonderful and the food was simply delicious. I also liked the ambiance as we sat looking at Mandela square enjoying the view and the weather. It was really a wonderful experience
What live about the place is the wine cellar with excellent wine with the delightful Pride to guide you through their wine collection. Then their steaks are amazing and in such generous portions. The rib eye with the truffle butter and infused mushrooms served with fries or creamy spinach; the vegetarian burger was also tasty as was the salmon with miso sauce. The service is good.
Celebrated a birthday lunch here. I had the waiters reccomendatuon which was the oxtail which was cooked to perfection. I will definitely give this place 5 stars for fine dining and excellent service.
Food is good, I mean the pork rib and prawns.Prawn curry was just so so; rice was hard, didn’t really like it.But the wine is always good!Wanted to give 5 star to the pork rib and wine, and 1 Star for the staff, when I asked for the bill from 2 staff, and didn’t get anything for 15 mins, and eventually I had to approach to some one to pay, because I was in rush! They wasted 15 mins of my time, when I was super in rush. Maybe the whole place has only 1 person who’s qualified to settle the bill?!!!!!! Ridiculous!
Meat was so fresh and the meal was tasty. My partner agreed that we would go back soon.
22.02.2018 Friends and I wanted a light dinner before movies, and even though it was packed a table had just become available so it was perfect timing.I know Ive been here before but cant remember what I had.We all decided on starters as it was the easier choices due to time constraints. I ordered the Sticky Short ribs and the Fillet Skewer. My friends had the Cheesy Garlic Snails, Soup of the Day, Mussels and more Ribs.My fillet was juicy and tender. My ribs although cold, were really tasty and the meat was fall of the bone tender. Our food arrived in good time so we had enough time to enjoy the meal before rushing off.Need to come back and explore this menu some more. Our waiter Steven was extremely helpful with great service.
Vibe is ok as the ecstatic could be better food is amazing...service could be better
Great steak house.. Perfect for the family too
One of the best restaurant to eat meat. I love it.
Cozy steak joint in a busy Nelson Mendela Square. Food was better than i expected given its in rather touristy place. Steak and porkchop were cooked perfectly. Roquefort salad was also very good. Extensive menu on both food and wine. Ambience was cozy with both table and booth. Its a large restaurant and could host couple of big group quite easily. Service was good. With quality and portion i got, i found price to be very reasonable.
In terms of steakhouses within Nelson Mandela Square I found this to be the better option of the two. (having tried both about a week apart and ordering similar items)It had a more modern feel and the quality of food and sides were of a higher quality and presented quite well.The staff were busy and attentive when they could get to you.The wine and drinks menu was extensive and focused on the S.African wines.Meat and Seafood options were fairly good.My meal was1 x Beer, 1 x Wine (more premium), 1 x Ribs + Lamb Chops, 1 x Greek Salad and an ice cream to finish.Including tip 600 ZAR which I felt was quite reasonable.Great for a group of 4 - 8 people,The bottle shop has a nice selection.The butchery has been presented well, but does not have the largest range. (their focus seems to be on presentation and quality)Worth a visit if you are in the area.
It was awesome , their service was great and so was the food. Thought the menu was limited to steaks but you get a whole lot more. I got oxtail served with potatoes and some sweet pumpkin
Best Restaurant ever! Great Service and food. They offer only the best hospitality always! Thank you so much for everything. We always really appreciate, greets your SWISS Team 😍🥰
Very tasty and reasonable price. The staffs were nice. Impressive :)We were travelers from Thailand, lucky us we found this restaurant.
5 stars services and steak is superb. Try the truffle sauce and butter with steak. I ordered Parma ham and wrapper and fillet steak medium rare. Juicyyyyyyyyyy. Love it. Staffs are helpful and friendly.
A lively atmosphere with terrific customer serviceStaff are really helpful and courteousThe place is elegant with delicious foodI had ostrich with beef and lamb steakThe amount of food we get for the money and ofcourse the quality is spot onWould recommend this restaurant to everyone and will gladly Come again soon🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I love this restaurant especially bcoz meat is my thing, their steak is superb, ribs 2 die for & I particularly love their burgers!!!!
Exceptional service, a special thanks to Lawrence who looked after us. Had stunning steak and veg, will definitely come again!
Absolutely amazing food and environment 👌
Great service and the juiciest steak i have ever came across
Even though its known for great meat I can HIGHLY recommend the sushi menu and salads
I will recommend people to go there..Their Food My Goodness 😋😜😋😜
I asked for medium raw but it was almost well done. The sirloin tasted plain with not much flavour. Otherwise the service was quite ok and its a big restaurant.
My rating is not based on Trumps as a brand, but the lady who served us. The food was good, but there is nothing as disappointing as bad service. The couple who arrived after us had a great guy serving them. Received their breads, finished eating before she brought anything to ours. 10 minutes later she picked up a basket of uneaten bread from some guys a couple of tables away, looked straight at us and went to the kitchen. Then immediately came straight to our table with a fresh basket of bread. As I write this review. Im actually angry. I cant sleep and Im self medicating every time I think of that bread I get weary of Covid symptoms. 💔Not once did she come to check up on us. By the time our food arrived, my drink was already finished. I asked for another one. She never brought it. By the time she came back to our table. We were done eating and ready to pay the bill. No apology. Nothing. We had already been sitting there for a while. A man who I assume is the manager came to check up on us probably 3 times, while she was nowhere to be seen. thats how I managed to get my second drink. If that is who we were leaving our tip to, I would have been happy leaving more than just 10%
Steaks were cooked to perfection. The side orders and sauces are generous and just as tasty
Food was really good. Atmosphere was lovely.
Delicious food and waitresses are so friendly and welcoming
Excellent service, atmosphere, food, drinks and setting on Nelson mandela Square.
Amazing food and great service. Definitely will come back
Mouth watering food. Great vibe.
Excellent service and great quality of slow cooking steakHappy to go with freidns
The service was excellent, the food was delicious. I really enjoyed my birthday
Loved our waiter, Shawn who was really helpful with the wine & appetiser choice. The food is sumptuous, more than enough choice, lovely ambient and Covid protocol observed
The waitress appeared uninterested and the manager didnt know his product. Send me white spirit with lemon and said it was Jameson, when my order was J/Black single.
One of thee best steaks Ive had. Amazing cocktails. Nice environment. Great service.
Lovely steak and great service. Whenever I visit Sandton, I eat at Trumps (no relation to the US president!). Large seating area and a smaller, near outdoors section that gets the sun in the afternoon. Lovely on a sunny autumn day.The restaurant faces Nelson Mandela Square and the statue.
The place is great, their chips good and the meat is great quality. I would recommend it to those with the financial means to dine there to do so.
