Restaurant News Cafe reviews
25Liked the service.nice place to chill in and have nice food when you're waiting for the carwash people to finish.
Nothing great to write about this place the waiter forgot about us, checked us after about 45 minutes.
This used to be a lovely News Cafe but sadly no more. Had a breakfast meeting here.
Food and service was good but the toilets & venue are terribly run down. Toilets are dingy and dark & clearly need a coat of paint & a revamp. I saw no sign of any managers and the lack of management is evident when you see the waitrons & bar staff on their cell phones. Will definitely not be back.
Nothing special about this place. They don't always bring what's on the menu. I ordered chicken which was meant to come with honey mustard mayo but it came with BBQ sauce, so was a bit disappointed.
It's a nice place however their food is not so great the only dessert is ice cream. They have a variety of drinks & play nice music.
Got there at about 8 o'clock at night, bouncers were friendly and helpful. Wish I could say the same about the staff they were extremely slow at that point we waited about 45 minutes inbetween orders for the drinks to be brought to us. We were seated in the smoking area where I asked our server on arrival for an ashtray, I waited about ten minutes before standing up to ask another server for an ashtray and I was looked in the eyes and got blatantly ignored by her. My friend that joined me for the evening saw my frustration and stood up and asked another server for an ashtray when we finally received one. The drinks were incredible and well topped off but the service needs attention
Bad Service and not kept well, their Cocktails are just like fruit punch, alcohol free. Complained on 2 occasions about this and was made to feel like i wanted to score free drinks with my mates, when i know my alcohol very well. Sadly wont be going there anytime soon. Even though it's less than 5km from my door step.
Service was really bad, complained about the drinks and the manager was not helpful instead it was as if we wanted free drinks.
New menu, looks nice, but actual presentation and taste very poor.
Service, came with smiles, was very good.
The manage ask for our opinion, wr give then he started arguing and making excuses.
DON'T ask for feedback if you cannot take it.
Apart from the food, the beer, sevice and vibe was great.
Will I go back, yes, will i eat, probably not.
Our waitress had a very poor attitude. Didn’t check in once to see if everything was ok. R90 breakfast with only thing warm on the plate being the mushrooms, undercooked chips and bacon swimming in oil. Didn’t even have butter to put on the dried out piece of toast. I am now done with News Cafe
My friend & I had a delicious lunch here. The waitress actually took photos of us when we asked her. Very friendly lady - will eat there again
It used to be quite a cool place to go but not anymore. Service is okay and there is not much of a vibe.
This News Cafe us one of the best I have ever been. I enjoyed the mature and serene atmosphere if the place
Not to bad just feel there special off a bottle Jonnie walker black and a platter for R 1200 is a bit high
It's an okay place. Not as fun/ lively as other news cafes. Male waiters are friendly, female ones are just ride and ignorant - don't know if they treat male customers the same way.
I Think the place need to be renovated, Lots of broken furniture and even the building inside need some work, But the staff is great
The food isn't that awesome but then again you're probably not going there for the food aspect. They play the same music. I was inappropriately groped by the manager. But that's just another day in Hilfox to be honest.
Great breakfasts; and great place to sit and have a cup of coffee while your car is washed at Shield.
Music can be a bit much as it caters for a certain genre. Food is average. Bathrooms need a serious revamp
