Magic Tavern Vereeniging

The atmosphere is lovely, complete with live music and a nice playground for kids. However, the kitchen service was the worst I’ve ever encountered. We waited for our food for two hours, which is far too long, especially for young children. Please reconsider the management and training of your staff, particularly the manager and chef. It is unacceptable to wait that long for our orders.

I recently had some pizzas at this restaurant after not visiting for a while, and I was disappointed. I decided to try one of their 'foaming' pizzas, but it didn't meet my expectations. The crust was doughy and charred on the bottom, likely due to an unclean wood stove. It also lacked enough tomato sauce, and the cheese felt bland and rubbery. I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but based on my experience, I was not impressed considering the price I paid.

Oh? My previous review of the RAW food I was served seems to be gone, so here I am writing a new one. I visited this restaurant with a friend, and we placed our orders for hamburgers at the bar. I ordered one with bacon while my friend opted for one without. We waited about half an hour for our food, which wasn't too bad. However, after we started eating, I noticed that my burger was still raw. The manager insisted it was fine, but he didn't seem concerned. In the end, the bartender sent my food back. I have to mention that the service is non-existent unless you’re at the bar where we were seated. The food made me feel sick, and the manager didn’t care at all.

I dont even think 1 star should be given. The service was exceptionally poor ... almost an hour an half and a rare steak that should have been medium to well, sauce that was all oil and frankly looked like yesterday's leftovers. The crispy skin on the fishbein was like old leather. And then it took several requests to get the manager to our table!! Will not see our custom again...

After 20 minutes of waiting we had to go find a waiter. Ordered drinks, 20 minutes later they brought 1 drink and the rest they did not have stock of. No Coke, Fanta, milkshakes or drafts. Ordered what was available and a toasted sandwich. Waited an hour and 10 minutes and after asking for the toast, waiter came back and said they sent someone to go buy bread. Poor service and will probably not go there again. There are many other places that can provide better service.
