Norbert’s German Butchery and Deli — Restaurant in Roodepoort

Norbert's has a unique Austrian atmosphere with matching music at just the right volume. Their food is always excellent in quality, quantity, .and flavour. A basic simple menu provides for every occasion. All the meat is always of prime cut quality supplied from Norbert's on-site deli. His bulk meat packs may at first appear a little pricy, but there's no shrinkage and no superfluous fat and no sinew, so you get more actual meat per kilo than most butchers I know, and I know all the good ones. Norbert and Charmaigne's personal attention to detail never wavers, and their staff are well trained and truly compliment the business. Norbert's is truly a unique gem well worth paying a visit. There's also a well stocked section of traditional Austrian products, a small showcase of local artist handiwork, and an outdoor section if smoking is...

Great little butchery and restaurant. Used to work alongside Norbert at my first job back in 2001. Back then he expressed the desire to open a butchery, even if he didn't know the ins and outs. Not only had he fulfilled the dream, but the place is a roaring success.

Top quality meat, great selection of sausages, amazing biltong, and the little restaurant he operators inside the butchery is a great experience with amazing food. Sunday lunch is so good, we held my Father-in-law's 70th Birthday feast there.

If you're in the area, and if you love meat... Then don't miss out on what this little place has to offer.

I'm not just promoting this place because I know the owner from back in the day, the quality of his meat and food are testimony onto themselves....

What peeved me off this place is the Tip Jar for Waitrons. It is pathetic that you have to give Cash as a Tip to the Waitrons, when on top of it all the Tip Jar is Hidden behind the counter and you can't see it unless you ask where it is. Waiters that get No tips literally make no Money! This often will conversely affect the service level one gets rendered.

Its also quite disorientating having 3 different locations where people can sit, where waitrons do not easily see what is going on. I would suggest the following:

Get a Tip system onto your Credit card Machine create a Table Roster so that Waiters are assigned to sections and don't have to attend to 3 different areas where they might start to neglect some areas due to dispersion...
