Zappas Restaurant — Restaurant in Gauteng

Update on 20 March 2025 They fixed the fridge!!! Took them 4-5months but i am a man of my word. 5 stars, so glad i got my regular joint back.

Update below original on 27th of Feb 2025

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and never had an issue, but in recent months, they’ve been serving me warm Coke Light every time with my brandy special. As soon as I add ice, it goes flat, completely ruining the drink.

This isn’t a one-time thing—it’s been happening for months, which makes me think their fridge isn’t working properly or they’re not chilling their sodas at all. I’ve mentioned it before, but nothing has changed. Their waiters have confirmed that their "coke fridge" isn't working.

I used to enjoy coming here, but if they can’t fix something as simple as serving a cold drink, it makes me wonder what else they’re cutting corners on. If they get their fridge sorted and start serving properly chilled mix with their brandy again, I’ll gladly update my review. Until then, I can’t recommend this place like I used to.

Update Went back here at the end of the month, only to find the fridge still not repaired. Only warm mix is still being served. I was a weekly regular, i know of two other gentlemen who also were regulars and due to the same issue started to rather go to another establishment close by. I'm still willing to update this review, because this feels like my second home.

It's shocking for me as to why Zappas would let something small like a broken fridge affect their business so much. Just from our 3 friends patronage alone they could've bought a new fridge within the month. This fridge issue has been going on from...

Zappas Restaurant is a long-standing establishment that has seen many changes over the years, all for the better. The prices for both drinks and food are very reasonable, and the quality matches the affordability. It's a friendly place with a loyal customer base, making it a welcoming spot for both new and returning patrons.

One of the standout features of Zappas is its versatile menu. Whether you're having a difficult day and can't decide what you want or you're just looking for a satisfying meal, they have something to quench your hunger. From smaller meals to a full dining experience, Zappas caters to both single diners and larger groups with ease. The staff treat all customers with respect, even the difficult ones, and their professionalism is evident in every interaction.

For those with a hearty appetite, I highly recommend the eisbein, their specialty. It's a generous portion, and you can always take the leftovers home if you can't finish it. For those who are just a bit peckish, their toasties are a perfect choice.

The atmosphere at Zappas is always great, even during load-shedding. The ambiance remains inviting and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience regardless of external circumstances.

Overall, Zappas Restaurant is a gem worth visiting. If you're passing by and curious, definitely make a stop. The excellent food, great prices, and friendly staff make it a place you'll want to return to...

Change your name to pub and grill, cause restaurants are for entities that actually qualify for making food. Before I start, please don't reply with a sorry cause it's not gonna mean anything to me. Zappas is a watering hole for pub crawlers. The music was so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. The music is utter rubbish.

The food was terrible. I ordered the nachos and when i asked the waiter about how they prepare the mince, do they prepare it fresh or is it pre cooked and refrigerated, she replied... "we order it from somewhere else" This is directly at the owner, if you want to serve nacho's, first do yourself a favor and go to actual restaurants that serve nacho's so that you could get and idea of what it should look like. The rubbish they served me looked like "kots". I didn't even tried to eat it. I send it back. They asked me if I wanted a doggy bag and I told her not even my dog will eat that. Also that is not even worth free food.

My wife's chips was fried in old oil and the burger was dry, My daughter's pork belly consisted of 95% fat, are you people ** serious? I do not know how people can give you a 5 star rating, it's utterly disgusting.
