Bush Farmhouse

Dining at The Bush Farmhouse in Black Mountain was such a wonderful experience! We ordered the sausage rolls for an appetizer—so good! My husband ordered the steak with asparagus and smashed potatoes, and I had the Pap & Boerewors, along with a cup of Rooibos tea. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we shared the Malta Pudding and it was absolutely incredible—a sweet ending we’ll be dreaming about for a while! Beyond the amazing, authentic South African food, what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It feels like you’re stepping into a family member’s home—cozy kitchen tables and chairs, spaces to gather with friends, and the kind of warm welcome that makes you want to stay a while. They even have a pen with chickens and pigs outside, which adds to the charm. This is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Highly recommend!

If you love a hole in the wall restaurant this is it! The vibes is so nice it feels like you're eating the best meal in a homey environment. The staff is super friendly and the food menu was great! It is nice to see a restaurant with different options than the same old sane old stuff. But I came here to post that it is 1:31 am and im still thinking of that steak I ate yesterday it is to die for.

Very unique place. We ordered Bunny Chow chicken and the burger with 2 margaritas. Husband likes the burger. The bunny chow was just ok. I had a better curry and toast before. Will come back and try other items. I really like the set up and ambiance

WOW!!! Do not miss this place. We accidentally walked by and stopped in out of curiosity. We were kingly greater by the owner and joked around a bit. When we saw the connection to his South African roots and glanced at the menu we were excited about staying for lunch. We had the charcuterie and salmon cakes both which were amazing. The rest of the menu looked awesome and we will be back for dinner. The atmosphere and indoor/outdoor seating areas were inviting and the grounds with home grown vegetables on site were such a unique setting. Having been to S.Africa, the food and community feel represented our travel memories well. Support this restaurant - Black Mountain is lucky to have a place like this.

Salmon cakes & the rest of our food was good. I gave it a three for the dining experience, no air conditioning and it was hot, 82 that day. Also, plenty of restaurants give you lots to eat, this establishment has smaller servings. For the smaller servings the prices were on the high end. Food was good though.

After spending the day at Catawba Falls we decided to check Google for a cool place to try for a restaurant. We saw this and thought it would be a great spot with something a little different than the norm. The food and service were both very good and the atmosphere was fun and very different than most restaurants. It's definitely a spot with checking out with food that you might not expect to love but you will. Everything here is very freshly made. Oh and don't skip dessert. We had the apricot cake and forgot to take a picture because it was so delicious that we just ate it up.

South African food in an old farm house. Lovely backyard with ample outdoor seating and a stage for music. The chicken coop is cute for the kiddos! The food is all done very well. We have come for brunch and dinner now. Highly recommend the bush breakfast platter! Loaded with all your morning cravings:) The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy working there.

I stopped here for a late lunch after reading the reviews. It was not very busy since it was around 3 pm. The outdoor space is quite nice with the garden out back and some nice green spaces. The staff were also very friendly. I ordered the farm salad with grilled chicken and it was good. Nothing amazing but they do give you a lot of protein (which was nice considering it was an additional $9 to add chicken). My bill was around $25 for a salad (I did not order anything else to drink) since water was provided for the table. The menu was very interesting but I don’t know if I would be in a hurry to return.
