beefcakes burger bar

even though you may come here for the beefy cakes on display, the food at beefcakes is actually good! i love that you have a choice of burger patty, including ostrich and vegetarian. the build your burger option isn't the best though, the caramelised onions look like they've barely met a hot griddle, and the cheddar cheese is as basic as a basic snitch.

everything is just fantastic here. the atmosphere, the food, the entertainment, the music and the.... uhem scenery. 😜 the burgers are so good and they even have a healthy banting option for those who are so inclined. really amazing experience.

let's be honest, the food is nice here but that's not why you go to beefcakes. the entertainment and shows are the reason. that paired with great service and laughs that make your tummy sore from laughter, totally worth the visit. but don't get me wrong the food is tasty and mixed with all of the above its a memorable evening to keep you wanting more.

awesome place for girls looking to have fun . thoroughly enjoyed celebrating a friend's belated birthday celebration's. service okay ... guess its time for them to move to a bigger space

an awesome place.
had my sister in laws bachelorette party there. the show with drag queens were awesome. the food was good, however, it got cold by the time we ate as the show began after the food arrived. the atmosphere was great and all staff members were awesomely helpful.

it's a little underwhelming. the prices are expensive and a lot of expense if placed on you. it's always filled with brides to be and ladies. the show is good and the eye candy is amazing but don't get forced to get a body shot because they keep coming to you and it's like r300.

aaah beefcakes. drag shows, hot boys, and amazing food? this is the way to go. the burgers here are fantastic and paired with a good drag show, this is a really nice place. and the boys are topless (most of the time) so that's something to enjoy. babs is right next door so beefcakes is out pre outing before dancing the night away. think his name is gary griffin or something like that, gentle soul and really good! service is a bit slow due to them always being full but none the less the experience is so much more ❤️

good fun night out. the comedy was great and the food not bad. great for group parties.

so after having to book 2 months in advance we arrived to be told we would be seated in the vip area. we had a great evening. the dinner and a show work well. the way they do the food is definitely designed with speed and mass production in mind.

they give you a choice of beef, chicken and veggie burger. they place a tray with a selection of toppings on the table for you to create your own burger. not the best burger i've had and you can tell they are after quantity and not the quality so much.

they had great service and did not have issues with brining out our own cake with cake fairs that we asked for them to add.

the show was great. i would recommend it to anyone. just don't go there is its the best burger you want. i think they could do better and still do the pace and high numbers.

on friday myself and 7 friends wanted to pop in, unplanned, to have dinner at beefcakes illovo. we were gladly helped to a table and ordered cocktails. we were then given our "menu placemats"...with one burger and option of veg, chicken or beef ...as i have planned a few bachelorette parties at beefcakes restaurant, this is the set menu option you pay upfront for, as helps the kitchen with these large tables. we were told that now friday and saturdays we can only order from this "placemat menu" as it helps the kitchen on busy nights...we got up and left! if your kitchen cant handle the not very large regular menu on a busy night, consider opening a bachelorette party buffet bar instead! i wont be returning on the weekends, or hosting any further birthdays etc if this is the only choice we have...coming to what you put on your placemats - joburgs best burger joint in 2014, eat out mag. its sad that your restaurant has fallen to the whim of the bachelorette party industry and the money it brings in and forgotten to be a restaurant in its essence. beefcakes as become a glorified burger buffet joint!

we came here quite late on a thursday night for a last drink or two before going home. because we came so late the show(s) were obviously over so we didn't experience that part of beefcakes.

our waiter wasn't very interested in serving us and all the waiters were clumping together rather than serving the last bunch of tables. i ordered a bubblegum and my friend a lemon drop, we actually ended up swapping because the lemon drop was too sour for her and i didn't like the bubblegum as i'm sure they forgot to actually add bubblegum to it. the cocktails weren't great and neither was the service. their focus is clearly the entertainment but if you're still open after the show, you should still be providing good service.

i haven't rushed back but i wouldn't be reluctant to go for a show as i've only heard good things about the shows.

i was dragged here for a friend's birthday and did not expect much, so wasn't actually that disappointed. it's very loud and stuffy, so not really my vibe. the service was slow because i guess they are more interested in entertaining than serving.

maybe reconsider if you were thinking of coming here for your bachelorette or next girls night.

very appealing waiters. shirtless so fair warning guys (if you aren't comfortable with naked torsos then i'd advise you choose another place to go). the cocktails are amazing, lines at the bar can end up getting long so do get mentally prepared for it. great place for a girls night out!

came here with my dad one random night - it happened to be the "drag queen" show evening and damn it was just a fun, amazing evening! burgers are a win too, but the chicken wraps are ooooh so tasty too!😍

what an experience! besides the magnificent drag show, shirtless waiters and multitude of bachelorette parties around, the food was actually good. i had the chicken burger combo: chips were great and chicken was succulent. the variety of extra toppings were on point. only burgers were on offer when i was there, but with the excitement of everything else going on during the evening, it's all you really need.
