The 13 best breakfast and brunch in Kempton Park

My experience was deeply disappointing, from the presentation to the taste of the dishes. I ordered the butternut soup, expecting a thick, rich, and flavorful dish. Instead, what arrived was a watered downed broth that appeared spoiled and lacked flavour, with the cream visibly separating on the surface. Hoping for redemption, I tried the fried wings, but they were equally underwhelming. Far from the crispy texture I anticipated, the wings were soggy and unappetizing. Overall, the meal fell far short of expectations.

wow this is one organised mugg and bean excellent serivce popped in to grab somthing on the go excellent food capachino perfectly made , awsome the best toasted cheese and tomatoe , like the good old days, when the cheddar oozes out the sandwich you know good real cheddar speed was amazing especialy when u on the go . awsome easy safe parking especialy for early morning rush oh gosh and the cakes and muffins in the desplays , look so so awsome will be back soon

Food was good and service was great. The cake slice wasn't great , it was kinda of dry and crumbly. We also ordered the Braai plate, which I had previously enjoyed but the 2nd time I had went the consistency had changed with a smaller lamb chop given which was very fatty and the braai bread was smaller and and a different bread used. We also ordered the chicken pot pie which was very tasty.

I asked before ordering whether the Wi-Fi was working, as I needed to get some work done while having breakfast. I was assured it was, but it does not work at all — it connects but shows “no internet” on both my phone and laptop, exactly the same problem as on my previous visit. If I had known this beforehand, I would have gone elsewhere, but by the time I found out, my food and coffee were already ordered. When my meal arrived, my eggs were soft instead of medium, and I had to ask again for butter and jam even though I had specifically requested marmalade. It really feels like staff weren’t paying attention to my order or to the Wi-Fi issue I raised upfront. Dave (waiter) was friendly and polite, which I appreciate — but the overall experience was frustrating and not up to the Mugg & Bean standard. Suggestion: Please get the Wi-Fi fixed and make sure staff listen carefully to customer requests — it makes all the difference.

I've had the Buffalo chicken at quite a few Mugg and Bean stores. This was definately the worst one I've had. Over cooked chicken, to the point it tasted burnt. Such a pity, it is normally one of my favourite dishes.

My food was good but my wife's was cold. I think they got the timing wrong with the food prep. The waiter was friendly and energetic. Good job to him. The new menus are quite difficult to work with as they struggle to fold, and the pages are very rigid. Mugg and bean overall feels a bit overpriced for what you get

I’m visiting this mugg and bean for the second time and today my partner and I were meant with the most disrespectful manager. There is a new lady who has been hired because she was not here last month we came. The first visit we were welcomed and accommodated as we wanted to eat and work and two laptops on a table takes up space. But this lady did not treat us as we were customers saying it makes customers uncomfortable but we were also paying customers. I’m happy for the reviews I’m seeing with people having a good time. But I wish I could give it -5. I hope there is some future training on how to treat all customers with respect no matter what they may be doing at your restaurant and to accommodate because this time we came this place is empty. So anywho yeah… the waitrons are wonderful though. Not their boss. Cranky lady.- apparently it’s the owner. Disgraceful she sent another waiter to apologise on her behalf anyways guys. Just know this type of person owns this establishment

Review: Airport Inn Bed and Breakfast – Johannesburg I recently stayed at Airport Inn Bed and Breakfast in Johannesburg, and overall, it was a good experience with a few areas that could use improvement. The positives: The rooms were clean, the bedding and towels were fresh, and the dining area and pool were well-maintained. The price was reasonable, and the airport shuttle service is a fantastic bonus, making travel to and from the airport hassle-free. The downsides: The shower was disappointing, and the bath door was quite difficult to open or close. Some staff members could benefit from additional training on customer service and communication—a smile goes a long way in hospitality. Another concern was privacy in rooms 212-214, as the small back area behind them might allow for unwanted visibility. A major drawback was the lack of fans or air conditioning. If mosquitoes manage to get into your room, they will certainly take advantage, as there are no provisions to deter them. This could make sleeping quite uncomfortable, especially in warmer months. Despite these issues, the property itself is lovely, clean, and well-kept. If management addresses these minor concerns, it could easily become a top choice for travelers needing an affordable stay near the airport. Great job to the management team for keeping the place in good shape!

Is it fancy- absolutely not. Does it do the trick for the price point? Yes. The free shuttle was great and easy. The room was small but comfortable. The only thing that sucked is not being able to get a late check out so no matter how late you arrive you must be out by 10am.

While the airport shuttle service is convenient the rooms are a little dated and on the simple side of things. The price per night is on the more affordable side, so you get what you pay for.

Terrible service! I was met by two extremely rude, insensitive, and unkind ladies. The other one was even unapologetic about her rude behaviour, which caused me to leave the place and opt to sleep elsewhere because it felt like I was begging for a bed. TERRIBLE, RUDE,AND...

My father booked into the accommodation for the night after his flight was delayed and he missed his connection. Because of the delay he also missed the shuttle so he had to organise his own transport. He said the room itself was great but the staff offered no help as he struggled alone with his luggage in the rain. He then got moaned at for missing calls but he was literally on a plane flying. This might be a convenient option especially for travel delays but the staff should then be trained on how to interact with and show a little kindness to weary travellers, not moan at them for situations beyond their control which they must deal with all the time, and at the very least help their customers carry their luggage in the rain!

How bad is this full of rodents families with diarrea. The hotel doesn't or can't speak English. Families ending there holidays early because of the disgusting cleaniness. Please avoid spend your money else where not here

We had a terrible reception with the woman who works at the hotel reception. Bad information, and she was very rude. Old rooms without toilet paper and without amenities. Don't waste your time in this place.

Its a good place but they need to upgrade their wifi. It kept on going on and off.

Had a wonderful weekend stay at this place. The place is very neat and the hosts very friendly and helpful. All my needs were met as quickly as possible. I specifically loved the garden, so beautiful and so soothing as the morning breeze carries the sweet scent. The staff was very helpful and ready to assist with all requests. The could be few minor improvements like bedside mat and bathroom enclosement. But all in all 👍👍

Homely guest house in Kemptopark. Nest and beautiful inside and outside. Friendly staff and nice host. Always there o asdidt with any request. The swimming pool was clean and reafy every morning. You can have breakfast in view of the pool and freshness of the morning. Rooms are nice and spacious, neat and comfortable. 5ou have peace of mind in your room and there is no interference.

I was not impressed with the shower, it's cold in the morning, the lunch is the same thing which is not good, for supper the meat is sometimes not available. Don't stay over a week there. Not going back there again

Stayed there a few times actually booked again friendly people lots of space but private aswell swimming pool wifi available with different price ranges for rooms would highly recommend big 5 guest house

This a beautiful guesthouse with friendly and helpful staff, very chilled and quiet environment my stay was awesome want to visit in summer.

Cost home away from home. They really make you feel like you are at home. Friendly, cosy. Lovely people. Rooms are really nice

awfull experience, rude owners with no respect or manners, will never go there again. Definitely not there pasion only there to make money . Bad, bad,bad.

Poor Service indeed. Won’t recommend anyone here. No Television. Supervised movement and too much questioning

Not clean and rude receptionist with bad manners. Training is needed urgently. Or replacement of receptionist.

No wifi and unfriendly manager.Treats you like a child you are not even allowed to eat in your room.They dont provide food where are you supposed to eat then.All the lights are switched off at night...this is more like a prison...

So dirty, tiolets are unsanitary.No wifi rude personel. Save yourself the trouble and money and find somewhere better to stay.

I wish they could remove this accomodation from all sites.Dirty tiolets and showers.Owners are rude and so disrespectful.I wouldn't even rate them 1 star.This place will give you viruses.Bathrooms is very dirty🤮

Dirty!!! Rooms aren't freshened up or cleaned No WiFi. No TV. Unpleasant stay

Stayed one night - Saturday 30 November. Luxury rooms ? - double bed room average - clean but not what I would call a luxury room Great reviews on booking.com but sure did not live up to the ratings (9 7) breakfast average.

I had an amazing stay at Woodpeckers Inn. I was going through so much over the weekend and going into this week that I just needed a place where I could rest. I got more than that! I felt so well taken care of, that I didn't need to stress about anything. The rooms are beautiful with such attention to detail, the breakfast was delicious and made early for me. I am so grateful for the kind service and the lovely stay.

Great guesthouse with amazing service. The breakfast is also absolutely delicious. Andrew and Victoria just simply amazing hosts. Will definitely visit again!

Absolutely wonderful, the staff are so friendly and catering towards one's needs. The rooms are clean and fresh with all the amenities. Wifi is fast and a generator for when loadshedding hits. The food is scrumptious and well prepared.

A really awesome place! I have been staying here for years when I come up on business. Really nice people. Great rooms and facilities. Great breakfasts too! Definitely recommend it.

i have been coming to Woodpeckers lnn for 2 yrs now. its the best place to be in Kempton Park. Theres privacy, quiet, neat, not to mention the owners. They are so friendly and welcoming. l really feel home when l am there. i come to Woodpeckers in every third week. l really like it there.

Staff very friendly and helpfull. Nice food. Clean rooms,yard and eating facilities. Will come again. Keep it up!

Owner picked us up from the airport, very nice gentleman, our room is spacious and comfortable

Amazing guesthouse run by the most welcoming hosts. We had a one night lay over in Johannesburg. They provided airport pick up and drop off, at a cost obviously but cheap. Communication was excellent and breakfast was fantastic. Everything we needed for our stay, tidy and secure. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again in future!

Currently staying at All over Africa Guesthouse and it's amazing- the whole object has stunning, african style, giving an exotic vibe. The rooms are simply beautiful and cosy. Peaceful area, very safe; nice garden with gorgeous birds concert as the sun goes up in the morning❤️ The food served looks excellent and tastes even better. The host is so welcoming, warm and polite that you can really feel like at your own home! Highly recommended! :)

The room was clean and it's winter, but it's equipped with an electric blanket and a heater, so we could staying warm. We had to leave early in the morning, but they prepared breakfast for us at 6 o'clock. This is the accommodation I wanted to visit again next time.

I can’t speak highly enough of this hotel. The owners are very hospitable, it’s a homely environment, great location around 15 minutes from the airport. Also felt very safe. A great breakfast too!

This is the best place I've ever been to so far.Very hospitable,private and feels homely.I can surely stay a full month at this guest house!!! 🏠 Loved it!!!

Very friendly staff! Breakfast amazing!

This was my second stay at the Bit o Bush. A quiet get away when you need a night close to the airport. Pick up and drop off service is convenient and the room was great. Breakfast was excellent just as last time. Couldn’t ask for more from Bit o Bush!

Homely feel and great Hosts. Its like visiting family. Rooms are clean and spacious. Close to shops and restaurants. Enjoy staying here every time.

Fantastic host. Amazing gardens and birdlife. Very modern, clean and attractive accommodatiob

Friendly host. Clean and equipped unit. Safe parking

Very accommodating despite water issues the entire kempton park was having this issue.

Very nice and quiet. Great breakfast

Great host, beautiful and very clean.

A local suggested we try Soaring Eagle Spur as a good South African Chain. Honestly, the food was shockingly good, it looked just like the photos and tasted really good! We tried the chicken avocado bacon salad, the crumbed mushrooms, a half chicken, and rooibos tea. The service was average, seemed like English was a bit of a barrier for the server and they forgot some of our food. We tried to wave them down, but they were frequently talking to other servers and hard to get their attention. By the time they finally came over to check on us we finished eating and asked them to take the missing food off the bill which they did.

I love Spur, as a tourist I find it amazing how a franchise can keep such a high standard to legitimately be able to call itself a restaurant still. This one was good just a little off standard. The food was over cooked, the taps were not working for beer and I was just given a bottled lager rather than the draught I was after (beer drinkers will understand, it’s like ordering a coffee and getting a tea), also our meals were served with no cutlery and one napkin to share. It’s not a big swipe at all but just why it wasn’t given 5 stars. Will I be back? Absolutely:)

Very friendly and accommodating staff. The Management had the store opened up after closing hours to make sure the clients are fully serviced even though they had their own families to take care of. Now that’s what’s South Africa is all about. Mzansi Fo Sho.

It's Jhb Airport so it's very busy n noisy but the Waitrose was accommodating by find me a table near a plug points as thr cubicles didn't work for my charger. Had my go to favourite of Chicken Schnitzel with Garlic n Prawn sauce with a draught beer. I had a nice time

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Soaring Eagle Spur delivers exactly what you’d expect from Spur—great family-friendly vibes, tasty food, and welcoming service. The portions are generous, and the menu offers something for everyone, from classic steaks and ribs to burgers and salads. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it a reliable choice whether you’re grabbing a casual meal with friends or bringing the kids along. At busy times service can slow down a bit, but overall it’s a consistently good experience. A solid spot for comfort food and a relaxed outing!

Another great meal and service 15/08/2025. After the terrible service recieved at Mugg and Bean next door the friendly great service more than made up for it!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Juliette saved the day. Almost left but her service was a 10/10. Food was also fast and good!!!

On 5th October returning from overseas I spent 2 hours at your restaurant having breakfast waiting for my transport to Durban. I was served by a waitress called Pinki who seemed warm and friendly but to my greatest dissapountment stole my reading glasses off my table going to the bathroom next door and demanding a big tip on a R220 bill. She was given over a R100 as she insisted on a tip. I'm a frequent flyer and always spend time at Spur but I must say this was truly a dissapounting experience and I will be very careful going there again while on my travels. Watch your possessions and check your bill in detail.

I bought a tea and Steak Pie at Illy Go New lands O R Oliver Tempo airport as I was at Gate 07. The pastry top of the pie was loose so I lifted it. What I saw in it was shocking. There was a black greyish mass with little white things crawling in it. I was flabbergasted, I couldn't even take a picture. I took it back and told the guy behind the counter why he was serving this to people. He mumbled something and gave me a muffin. The muffin felt hard and stale. I was shocked beyond words I just left it and walked away. For your health sake don't eat there.

Stopped by the Illy Go coffee shop in the restricted departure area near gate A7 and A8 prior to our recent flight out of Johannesburg. This is a fair coffee shop with light bites. Seating area included 10-12 round tables in an open layout around the coffee shop. Service was a bit slow during our last visit but not an issue as we had quite a bit of time prior to our flight. On the occasion, we had two double espressos which tasted as expected of the Illy brand. We also tried a meat pie that was ok. Pie filling was more sauce than meat, crust just fine. Not sure if we'd order food here again but would be fine to take coffees here the next time we pass through O.R. Tambo. Overall, Illy-Go is pretty much what you expect and a good coffee option if you find yourself awaiting flights at O.R. Tambo and in need of a caffeine fix.

Horrible service from a lady called 'Figi' @ Alzu Petropoort. Super unfriendly, blunt & rude. I am fedup with people that are in this industry and they treat clients like this.

No decaffeinated coffee so had to have tea which was beyond horrible! Bought a vanilla muffin which is so stale its inedible. And for a tea and stale muffin we paid R80!! We told the staff and they just said "we'll tell management." They play blaring loud horrible music. Terrible experience!

Sitting here as I write this, this place is a rip off! R70 for a freezo that’s is light as anything, tastes terrible and I can’t even drink out of the straw because they are so flimsy.

The staff that served me was awful. They did not greet me nor even bothered to look at me at all. They were way too interested in talking to each other instead. I'd rather walk to one of the other bording gates to get a coffee than come back here. I don't expect exceptional service from an airport shop, just basic service. 2 stars because the fridge was cold.

I ordered a Cappucino and it tasted like hot water. The staff is very friendly, but that does not make up for a bas product.

I recently visited Spur Restaurant with my nephew 16/04/2025 for his birthday celebration and we had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with the: - *Wheelchair ♿ Accessibility*: The restaurant was fully wheelchair accessible, including the toilets, which was a huge plus for us. - *Kids' Area*: The kids' play area was a hit with my little ones, featuring slides and screens with various Google games to keep them entertained. - *Vegetarian Options*: Spur's menu catered to our dietary needs, offering a variety of delicious vegetarian options. - *Quick Service*: The service was prompt and efficient, even on a busy day. - *Friendly Staff*: The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The environment was clean and well-maintained, and the food was fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the guacamole 🥑🤤, which was fresh and refreshing. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience at Spur Restaurant. The combination of good food, friendly service, and family-friendly amenities made it a great choice for our family outing. We'd definitely recommend Spur Restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment. We'll be back soon! ☺️ 😉

All the food was nice as usual, icecream was quite melted though. The only problem was the service, slow and the waiter wasn't too sure of the questions we asked and didn't seem to know the menu well. Really good place to watch the rugby though, the volume is loud and tvs are visible from many seats.

Lovely play area for the kiddies. Definitely the biggest of the spurs I've ever been to. Staff are very friendly and good with the kids. Food has always been quick and very good! Would highly recommend.

I phoned at 8:10 this morning to place an order for a bacon and egg toasted sandwich takeaway, I got told over the phone that my order will be ready in 10-15min. Arrived at Chatoga spur at about 8:30, got to the entrance there is no one in sight to assist. From one waiter to the next I still needed to wait for my order! Finally got the bill to pay and even more to my suprise I got charged for a bacon and cheese sandwich with 2 top-up eggs, when I questioned the 2 top-up eggs I got told by the waiter that on the system there is no bacon and egg so she asked the manager and was advised that she needs to add 2 top-up eggs, this was not communicated to me over the phone when I placed the order. After 10 minutes of waiting my order was ready, I left the restaurant and on my way I started eating to find I got cheese on my sandwich and no cheese was even added what a disappointment. The experience I got from the Chatoga spur branch was absolutely disappointing and I don't think I would return for a meal with them again. It is sad to see what customer service means to some people

Great place for the kids to play, food good as well

Absolutely Disappointed – Never Again! I honestly cannot believe the service standards at Chatoga Spur. This is now the second time my family and I have had such a bad experience here, and enough is enough. We sat for more than 20 minutes before anyone even bothered to take our drinks order. The restaurant wasn’t even remotely busy – only a handful of tables had customers, yet most of the other tables were left dirty, full of plates and mess from previous patrons. It gave the whole place an unhygienic and neglected feeling. When I eventually raised my frustration with the manager, all I got was a dismissive “sorry.” No effort to fix the situation, no sense of urgency, and certainly no follow-through. It feels like management has no control over the floor or staff, and customers are just expected to accept poor service. What frustrates me even more is that this isn’t my first bad encounter here. On a previous visit, my children’s clothes were actually damaged because the Spur staff use safety pins on the kids’ bibs/clothes. Completely careless, completely unsafe – and when I raised it before, I also got nothing but an empty apology. This place has gone downhill and clearly has no interest in improving. If customer care, cleanliness, and safety aren’t a priority for them, then they don’t deserve anyone’s business. There are FAR better restaurants in Glen Marais and surrounds where families are actually welcomed, looked after, and respected. I will never recommend this Spur to anyone, and I certainly won’t be back. Absolutely done with this place.

Waiter seated me and my kids ages 1 and 5 years old. He seated us for over 25 minutes with no service yet he was busy serving customers that came after us. The food was cold and I had already lost my appetite. He really ruined my day as I was there to celebrate my daughter's birthday I ended leaving early.

Hair in Food no refund or discount, very bad service from waiter. Feels like you stole from me. After getting seated our waiter seemed very rushed and no one gave us a friendly welcome. I understand that it's sometimes not easy to be happy ,but you are in a customer service role. We received our food in good time but my wife ordered a salad , thay was very dry, and the waiter did not bother to bring us salad dressing vinegar or olive oil to garnish the salad. We had to ask for it , and only after waiting for 5 min for our waiter to return. We then noticed hair in our food. Being polite and respectful people we removed the hair and the piece of food the hair was on ,and placed it on a plate, and we continued eating the same meal as we were extremely hungry, and didn't want to cause any inconveniences. We then talked to the Manager who seemed very chilled about everything and only apologize and left it at that. We did not want to cause a scene and we expected to at least, on the bare minimum have our 1 meal at a 5% discount, or in the ideal world not charge us for it. Unfortunately we paid our meals in full and did not receive anything more than a apology. I won't go back and would not recommend friends or family to this Spur.

A lot need to be improved in therm of service too slow waiters standing in buddle talking and scratching theirs hair infront of guests unacceptable 😑

Shout out Rocky ,his the best ,am writing this at the club and remembering how much of the best service he gave me 😘😘😘😘😘he was awesome sang 2 different songs for me on my birthday, his great and has passion for his work ,I wanted to post pics also but am horrible at this ,

The manager Mr Madison was so actively involved in ensuring that the customers receive the best service. I was served by Martin and his service was out of this world. Thank you for the great dining experience. Big up to the griller for the tasty and delicious meal.

The Spur surprised me. 😀this is the first time I have had a meal at a spur that was any good. Service was good food was made the way it was supposed to be done. To be honest this spur is is the only one that I have been to that made me say well done waiter was good manager on the ball and the griller knew what he was doing. To all of you well done🎈👌

Good customer service. Amazing food and drinks. Should carry a warmer jacket next time because it was very cold, probably because of the ice place next to it. It was our wedding annivesary and day well spent. I recommed celebrating annivesaries with customers as it is done with birthdays.

The music is too loud. Playing gqom and amapiano like we're in the club. Waiters ans waitresses are standing around in hurdles, screaming at each other because of how loud the music is. 10 waiters on the floor but only four cleaning the tables and working. The other four are waiting by the kitchen entrance, conversing loudly. Loud shouting coming from the kitchen. The food took too long, not the normal standard at any other spur. At least the Manager, Audrey, came by to check up on us seeing as her customers have been sitting for the past 30 minutes having not gotten their food yet. Very very disappointing. Seriously wouldn't recommend this Spur. The wait time for a simple waffle with ice cream was another 30 minutes

We had a great experience at Spur today. Big thanks to great service and great food. Compliments to the chefs and thank you to our waitress Alucia. I only gave you 3 stars as there is always room for improvement.

I recently visited Spur and had a generally positive experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff stood out as exceptionally friendly, prompt, and efficient. Their warm and welcoming attitude created a great first impression and added to the overall comfort of the visit. I ordered a breakfast, which was well-prepared and tasty. The eggs, toast, bacon and chips were cooked nicely, and the portion size was generous. However, I did notice that the grilled tomato was cold and not a great taste, as if it had been cooked in oil that wasn’t completely fresh. It didn’t ruin the meal, but it’s worth mentioning. The cappuccino was okay — it had a homemade feel to it, which some might enjoy, but personally, I think it could be improved in terms of taste and texture for a more authentic coffee shop experience. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and friendly, and it felt like a comfortable place to enjoy a casual meal. It’s clear the team works hard to maintain a welcoming environment. All in all, Spur continues to be a reliable spot with good service. A few small improvements could make the experience even better.

Food is mid. Service is great, atmosphere is okay, lots of crying

Wow, Just wow!! Thank you so much Felicia and Monica. Our food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Service was great Love the new menu See you soon again !! Siyabonga

Great food. Great service. Had an absolutwly wonderfull time tonight. Thank you also to Felicia for the great service! Will be back soon

the atmosphere and service was impeccable, the meals and drinks however i would rate 1/10 - fish fingers were burnt and dry, the milkshakes that we asked in take away cups had no sprinkles and only 4 Marshmellows

Our waiter seemed preoccupied and we had to look and wait for service. Otherwise it was a once off. I always get a great service there.

We were there just after 8 am, and the waiter was very helpful and kind. The food however was not good. The croissant was warmed up in a microwave (I think) because it was honestly not good. Coffee was good!

This is nearby Mall,the stores are clean,fresh and good quality products,I believe that it would be good if they had Shoprite and Pick n pay though for people to choose where they want to buy their groceries.

After flying in from CPT to Jhb, we were hungry and met up with an old friend at Hava Java in Elgin Mall for lunch and a chat. It was quiet, cosy and pleasant. The staff were very friendly and the food tasted excellent! Me and hubby ordered some of their delicious wraps and chips, so I can definitely recommend the calamari wrap 😋👌🏻 The milkshakes were also good.

Experienced great service and delicious food this morning. Enjoyed the eggs benedict and a hazelnut iced coffee.

Small but has a place for clothes, a food court 2 supermarkets, a capitec bank, an electronics store and a crazy store

Once again, it was a lovely meal with wonderful, friendly service. I highly recommend Hava Java Elgin Mall if you need to treat yourself!

Great improvement thank you. Happy customers!
