the toad on the road

good food, generous portions. wine selection is limited but lots of beers! service was ok and nice to have a manager check on the table during our meal. whole family enjoyed the evening. we'll be back.

i have visited your establishment three times and found the value for food is great! the exception is the inexperienced staff you employ, twice we were placed at a table that had been reserved but no sign on it and had to move,  i was shocked at the limited wine selection you offer and even more astounded at the price of a glass of wine - r40!!!!  i could have bought my own bottle which would have cost almost half the price!  do you just cater for the elite customers without giving a thought for the pensioners who visit you for their "treat" for the month!  i ordered a beer instead of wine and without being  asked by the waitress, i was given a draft beer, i am a 68 year old lady and couldn't think of getting through a huge glass that size! the toilets need attention badly, no toilet paper at times and not particularly clean. attention to detail is required!

been here a few times, and thought it would be a good place to celebrate a last minute birthday celebration for a friend. walked in last night and it wasn't buzzing like it usually is. i see management changes here quite often too. for alot of our friends it was the first time being there and thought the food was ok overall most of them had ribs, one had mexicana pizza he didn't enjoy to much. i had chicken livers it's definitely pub grub if that's what you're into. negatives were our waiter changed like 5 times was confusing, place closes at 11 but they were ringing a loud bell at 10:30 i'm assuming to chase us out and not for last rounds. standard has dropped unfortunately.

very disappointed with the raved over ribs. sublimely tender but not that tasty to me. the service and atmosphere is really great but the fresh cut chips on the menu is not so fresh cut after all.

cool place to meet up for drinks and light munchies. the vibe is easy and the service is great. the food is okay. in my opinion it’s a good place to just catch drinks.

awesome food. just up the road. their spare ribs and burgers are very tastety and also suoer delicious. great menu as well. ample parking space.

love the toad for a couple drinks, never tried the food but it is a really nice pub. even took my mom here. because it's mom-friendly :p so enjoy

i love pizza. like a lot, so much so that it's a interest on my cv. i have had pizza from a lot of different places, takeaway, sit down restaurants, expensive pizza, cheap pizza, pizza of all different shapes and sizes. but this place has the best pizza i have ever had hands down.

the crust is super thin, firm, and crunchy. the pizza is loaded with the most flavourful toppings.

then on top of the best pizza, their ribs are spectacular, the atmosphere is great. just my favourite place to hang out.


service was fast, got our drinks within 2 minutes of ordering, and the food never took longer than 20 - 30 min to arrive. waiters are friendly and make great recommendations.

an interesting menu with entertaining dish names. we were in the mood for a pizza and had to try out the toad surprise. the pizza was good, but contained a few wood shavings, hope they clean their ovens soon. service was efficient and friendly.

i have been to the toad many times and i have always found this to be my experience:
go there for a few drinks with mates and have chilli poppers as your only meal item and you will leave a happy girl/guy. if you want a really good meal though - this is not the place. the food has always been "ok" at best...at worst - i ordered the chicken schnitzel once and the spinach and butternut it came with were sour (as in totally off). i have found hair in my pizza on two separate occasions. i have had the pie and found 1 piece of meat in it - the rest was just gravy. 
the service is very very poor - you wait a long time if you dare to order food. the reason to go back though is the vibe and like i said - have a few drinks, get a few poppers and you wont regret it.

such a pity that service was terribly slow. ordered drinks but waiter did not know if bar stocked them and took forever with our order. great that it's family friendly friendly, but please train your staff and offer a wider variety.

i love the vibe here, indoor and outdoor bar, great fire place, lovely food, service could improve and a special every now and again would be awesome.  an awesome place to spend a saturday afternoon with friends and fam.

we've been here many times and overall the experience is good. food has always been good although service is often below par. selection of beer on tap is adequate. only major disappointment is the desert menu. you can have anything you like as long as it's ice cream. 😠 come on toad make an effort.

i love that place. the food is always excellent, the good time guarantee, service is normally quite good and the prices are perfect. for a quick glass or a long afternoon the toad on the road is for me one of the best option.

very ordinary eating establishment with no redeeming features. a very average 'pub like' feel with average food, service, menu etc etc.... rather drab and in a city with so many awesome restaurants, i would give this one a miss. sorry toad. 😑
