Rademeyers Restaurant

Serves old food and the owner is arrogant, waiters unfriendly. Beautiful place to hike but don't attempt the resuarant, you will be utterly disappointed.

Management is poor - rather than taking two customers in at a smoking table/outside table we were refused because it’s a four seater (table wasn’t even booked). Obviously thinking two people’s money isn’t good enough - won’t see me again.

Load shedding didn't start yesterday, and neither did this restaurant. Yet, they have not bothered improvising anything to ensure continuity during load shedding, to the extent that they are unable to serve you a cup of coffee. We drove from Centurion to enjoy a hot beverage out on the stoep and had to leave disappointed. This is a clear indicator of an owner who simply doesn't care and has no passion for their business. And anything prepared without passion can in no way be anything but mediocre. I will not return to give the food a try, but luckily Gauteng is full of other culinary establishments that are focused on the customer experience.

As much the place look so peaceful with nice views the service SUCKS and I can't believe that 2 waiters stand me 5-10 mins each not coming to follow up with orders.

It's a shame to experience such a poor service when restaurant not busy.

I would not recommend the restaurant at all. We arrived with our dog which on one of the sites it said it's pet friendly and when we got there we were told we are allowed to have our dog there, so when we got to the entrance they retracted their statement because the manager changed his mind and said we can't have the dog there because of the zebras which I completely understood and they should have left it there but then they said they will put us away from the zebras and the customers, in the back corner. So we went there and it was very dirty and when we were about to order they came and told us we had to leave because the manager doesn't want the dog to scare off the zebras that was not even close to us or could see us. Very, very poor service and I find it very rude that the manager could not come and explain to us themselves but instead kept sending the poor waiter. I will never go there again or recommend this place to anyone and if I can give 0 stars I would. Not only for the service but the hygiene aswell.

Nice place and relaxing, but hygiene is a concern. Too many flies, whom were eating my food and drinking my beer. Hope they have arm security in their kitchen. But the disappointment is that the waiter did not offer to replace the beer.

Not the best. Food generally cold on arrival. Steak is more fat than meat. Chicken snitchel tough as nails. And it is expected that a 10% tip is given. Basically forced to do so although I wanted to give none. Overpriced and overrated.

Dissapointed

My family and I were looking forward to visiting Rademeyers for the first time. We loved the idea of sitting outside surrounded by nature. Not very much to choose from on the menu, so we chose Chicken Snitchels and my son ordered a cheese burger. Worst meal we had ever had. Burger bun was so hard you could not cut it with a knife. Snitchels had no flavour not to mention the sauce. Not once did anyone ask if our meal was ok. We waited so long for the waiter to remove our plates that we stood up and went to go look for our bill. Maybe we should have just left without paying. The manager/owner saw us waiting but not once asked if he could assist. Spent R500.00 here and will never do so again.

The standard of food and service at this restaurant is not for people accustomed to quality service and good food. I do not recommend this restaurant.

We have been chased away today. Rademeyers will never see us again. A minor of approx. 9 years sat at the gate as a security guard! The attitude of the man needs attention - we sat quietly on a bench and discussing our marriage plans. Confirmation that we won't use Rademeyers!

We visited Rademeyers some 4 to 5 years ago, before Covid, for a 70th birthday and were very impressed.
Yesterday, friends of ours suggested we go out for lunch, but where to go? We are on the East Rand and suggested what about Pretoria and hence after some searching came up with Rademeyers!
Either it has changed hands or has suffered because of Covid. A big disappointment!
We opted to sit outside - table was not clean, chair covers grubby and sweet papers on the ground around our area.
Ordered our food which took forever to come. Had 3 promises of food coming, the Kitchen is very busy.
Food, with the exception of the Chips and Vegetables, disappointing - didn't finish mine.
No light in the Mens, Urinal not flushing and no paper towels. Cloth towel provided.
Ladies, basin cracked, no paper towels!
Seems to be popular with younger set who eat Burgers etc but not for those who remember it in the better times!

Enjoyed the meal, the waitress was delightful but was disappointed that the men's bathroom smelled if urine.

Fantastic ambiance.
Indoor and outdoor seating.

Service on a Sunday afternoon is lacking though.

Good food at reasonable prices.

Worth a visit

Rademeyers has upmarket service and food st reasonable prices in beautiful surroundings. A favourite with visitors who walk through the nature reserve.

Excellent hiking experience, and having a cold one afterwards at the restaurant is just a bonus, excellent staff and good food!

Lovely setting in the Moreletapark Nature Reserve. We had pizzas and sandwiches that were okay, not great. Do take the opportunity to hike the popular trail in the reserve (free entry). Lots of animals to be seen eg zebras, springbuck, ostriches, blue wildebeest etc.

Great atmosphere, game roaming freely, waiters forgetting full order. Kelvin did not say thanks for the significant tip I gave, perhaps staff are over-worked but for a basic meal it's a great place for breakfast/lunch. Pizzas look amazing so I'll try that next time

Great location for Sunday lunch. Service was friendly and efficient.thank you Edward! Food on the table varied.my T-Bone was tasty and cooked well, salad fresh and inviting; other meals were fine and only those who had calamari said it needed seasoning. Will go back.

Wonderfull site in a reserve. Great to be outdoors. The building is an old farmhouse which has been renovated. Animals wonder around in the garden. The menue is extensive and had a great variety. The food was good and the staff attentive. Well eorth a visit

Amazing! I have had breakfast and lunch here. Being outside in nature, with Zebras and Ostrich walking around you. Just note: They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Would definetly recommend this place. If you have kids take something with to keep them busy as there is not much for them to do. Kelvin was great and they make a super size awesome cuppucino.
