2 months agoAwesome lamb chops and chips ! Some of the best I have had, definitely recommend this place!Notes: ask for the chips extra crispy they are incredible! The pepper sauce doesn’t fit well with the lamb chops, the Mazavaroo sauce that they serve on the table is a much better fit

a month agoBest steak in South Africa! I had the fillet steak and it was absolutely perfect - cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Amazing service as well; the waiter made us feel completely at home. A must-visit.

5 months agoI recently had the pleasure of dining at Joplin’s Restaurant on the Garden Route in Wilderness, South Africa, and I must say it was an exceptional steak experience. As someone who considers themselves a difficult customer and usually only eats steak at The Fat Butcher in Stellenbosch, I was genuinely impressed. The steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and rivaled the quality of top-tier establishments. The service was attentive and professional, and the ambiance of the restaurant made the meal even more enjoyable. Joplin’s is a true gem for steak lovers, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience.
