I’m Nick Hamman, and I’m stepping back in time to 1968—when Fordsburg’s oldest surviving restaurant, the historic Kentucky Milk Bar, first opened its doors at 95 Central Road. Back then, this part of town was known as “the frontline,” a buzzing hub where South Africa’s Indian and Coloured communities came to hang out, catch a movie at nearby cinemas like the Avalon, and grab a bite of proper chow—classic steak sandwiches, toasted rolls, and hotdogs. Still in the family, Kentucky Milk Bar is now run by Adam Mohamed, who’s preserving its legacy and adding his own spin to the menu with a sandwich that’s pure chaos in the best possible way: • 3 slices of bread • Tomato sauce & mustard • Their special steak • Salad greens • Toasted polony • Burger patties • A fried egg • Masala-spiced fries • Cheese and more sauce The next episode of Hammy Eats dives deep into this delicious slice of nostalgia—so hit subscribe on YouTube now and don’t miss it. 📍 Kentucky Milk Bar, 95 Central Rd, Fordsburg, Johannesburg #steak #halal #masala #nostalgia

Went there after reading a review on Instagram about the awesome toasted steak sandwich they offer. They did not disappoint. The shop is full of character and takes you back to a bygone era. It was rather busy with people all sitting around a singe table enjoying their lunch. We ordered the toasted steak, cheese and chips sandwich and it was delicious, filling and definitely something I would go back for.

If you grew up eating slap chips with fish and so on this is a great place for you to try out.

Kentucy milk bar has a history, it has been the place to be back in the day and the only place opened at night when you needed a decent meal.

What Should you try?

A toasted steak special Or Toasted steak and cheese.

With a glass bottle cool drink.

So why the three stars?

While I love the food and it’s value for money. The interior of the shop needs a bit of an upgrade.

But besides that this is my weekly cheat meal. ( who am I kidding I don’t...

"THE HOME OF LEGENDS" Kentucky Milk Bar has always been our go to spot for the past 30 odd years for the best Toasted Steak Sandwich in JHB. The menu boasts a wide variety of burgers, toasted sandwiches and specials. Mo Adam is always behind the counter to catch up with and chat on the local news and happenings whilst you wait for your food to get ready. Great for a sit down or a take away, this is still the best spot in town for a lekker chow. Two...
