the toad on the road

constant issue with service, generally major indabas at the front entrance instead of staff doing their work inside, poor management needs mega revamp!

best eisbein i have ever tasted in my life! side vegetables are fresh and the creamed spinach is amazing! our waitress was fantastic too! great atmosphere, great food! will defiantly be back!

i come here pretty often. recently, i've seen the standards drop though. unless its the springboks or the stormers, you will not have sound (even the proteas get the radio). pizza still pretty good, and the beers are cold. starting to fray around the edges and the place definitely needs a good scrub-down..

the toad on the road has a great atmosphere especially during prime rugby matches. the pizza's are pretty good. this is a great place to watch sport with a large outdoor area to enjoy the fresh air.

great food at affordable prices. great place for a sundowner. love the location, as those living in the southern suburbs don't have to drive much to have a good time.

the local watering hole, in order to get this status, it must be amazing.   i personally think it has some of the best ribs and pizza you will find, if not the best in town.   going back tonight so they better be ready for us :)

nice atmosphere during the day with a very nice outside section for almost any weather.   they really have gone far beyond the ordinary on the layout of the pub as come rain or sunshine, there will be a place to enjoy your drinks and meal.   

good beers on tap and very friendly staff, good crowd of people, however it can get a bit rowdy once the sun goes down, but then again every pub does.    good spot to watch a bit of sport with mates as well

was a bit dissapointed as i requested half chips and half salad as i am diabetic, and was refused this service that most restaurants would be happy to offer! very dissapointed! hopefully dietary requirements will be included in assisting your guests! very unhappy!

i'm a fan of all 3 of the toads. this one is especially a noted improvement to the old westlake arms. it offers an enjoyable experience in the outdoor, vibey area and is always buzzing with people of all ages. its the perfect spot to have a bite to eat or meet friends for a few drinks or to watch whatever sport is on. the food is good, with a menu offering a slightly more enticing take on a typical cape town pub menu. the pizzas are particularly good, offering a variety of choice for toppings. this past visit, the service was rather "okay", but to be fair it was rather busy.
a "must visit" for all locals or passer-by's.

a great place for drinks and sport. good service and a relaxed atmosphere. always festive on a thur, fri and sunday. a must try is their new orleans pizza which also comes in a half pizza half salad option!

delicious pizzas on a thin base. i can only ever eat half so always end up with a fantastic lunch the next day. flexible menu with enough variety to please most. reasonably priced, especially considering how large they are. definitely recommended.

great experience. friendly staff, quick service too. the food portions are massive so i had to bring home some of our food haha! very accommodating with our 4 and 6 year olds! well priced and tasty food. manager very friendly too. all round great experience.

after a very stressful day yesterday we decided that we need a beer stat. we had not been to toad on the road in a long time and decided that we would meet up there with 2 other friends. the waiter was great, serving our our beers very quickly. it was late afternoon and the place was pretty quiet. after our second beer we decided that we need a little nibble. 2 of us ordered the starter portion nachos (r60) and the other 2 of us ordered the (rump) trinchada (r60). the nachos were not bad tasting, but not the best we have had either. the trinchada on the other had was appalling, despite the menu saying (rump) the meat was the consistency of stewing beef, tough as nails & we even found a bone. the sauce was watery and the dish looked more like a soup that a trinchada. we will give them another try because last time we were there the food was really good and the waiter was amazing. beer was great no fault there and they have castle tank beer.

had a very poor experience. the barman did not know the difference between a lager and an ale. i ordered a prego roll with hot prego sauce. these days it is so easy to google a sauce recipe do why would you serve a bland, unseasoned tomato sauce with a touch of chili and call it prego? the steak was nice. the chips were good until i choked on a long hair. the waitress spent some time carrying messages between me and the manageress who did not think it worthwhile to address the problems herself. how sad

went through to the toad on saturday night to watch the rugby and really had a decent time! the vibe is awesome, the service great, and the food not only really good, but pretty affordable too! we ordered pizzas for the table and they disappeared so quickly we had to order more! will definitely go back for sure.

a great venue to watch a sports game and enjoy some pub grub with a beer or two. i ordered a pizza for the table to share as a starter. was very pleased with the generous toppings, great flavour and well made base. pizza gets a 8/10. then i let was on to the ribs, although i noticed that the prices have increased considerably since my last visit, i gave it a bash! the ribs were cooked to perfection, i literally pulled the bone right out of the flesh. it was a great rack of ribs as the portion of meat to bone was generous. the basting was good enough to have me licking my fingers rather than use the finger blow provided. overall rating for the ribs 9/10. considering how full the venue was as they were showing the south africa game vs samoa, our service was outstanding. well done toad!

i have been bcc a few times for this same menu and unfortunately have to report that the ribs have never again been worth mentioning. they are dry and tough. the kitchen staff seem to be taking short cuts and not boiling them for long enough. this really is a shame. i will therefore be dropping their rating.
