THUNDER GUN STEAKHOUSE & PUB

BEST FOR Family Sunday lunches and a meal before or after the game. FOOD Thundergun is one of Jozi’s original steakhouses, serving rugby-player portions of ribs, steak, eisbein and carvery roasts for 50 years. The bacon-and-avo burger is juicy and generous, while the ribs dwarf their serving platters. Steaks range from 200g to a whopping 800g and are served with crispy fried onions, thick-cut chips, baked potato or pumpkin and creamed spinach. Add a sauce such as monkey gland or jalapeño. Desserts are old-school favourites: chocolate mousse and crème caramel. DRINKS Mainstream beers, ciders and draughts, as well as a basic selection of wines by the glass and boozy don pedros. SERVICE Staff are welcoming and well-trained. AMBIENCE Jovial and packed, with wood paneling and a cowboy theme. There’s an awning-protected outdoor terrace with bench seating. (PC)
