Joop's Place

Oh what a brilliant establishment! This place came highly recommended by a close friend and they did not disappoint. The service we received from our waitress Ashley was exceptional. The food exceeded our expectations- their steaks are cooked to perfection. We had a medium done fillet with pepper sauce, a tomahawk with buttery mash and mustard sauce, and their loaded fries. All these exceeded our expectations. I would 10/10 recommend Joop’s and will definitely be dining here again.

I recently visited Joops Place Westown for the first time. It was my wife’s birthday so we decided to indulge. Upon arrival there were friendly and pleasant staff to seat us down. The atmosphere with the light music in the background made the ambiance enjoyable collectively volume was right enough to hear the conversations. I indicated that it is my wife’s birthday to the friendly waitress and she ensured that “she’s Got me”. She was gifted with a complementary fondant chocolate cake which was so unexpected but was thankful. The food : Amazing. Service:Excellent. Cleanliness: Spotless. I will definitely be joining JoopsPlace Westown again and again. 🙏🏻☺️

Joops place is under New Management in the last year or so and the quality of food has really deteriorated. Dined in on 19/02/25. Requested for a fillet and ribeye steaks. There were none in stock as per our waiter Connor. Ordered a rump steak and it was sent back as it was tough and sinewy. The manager on duty agreed that it was cheap cut as he had same for lunch! 😳. If it’s a cheap cut, why serve this to customers?). It’s not okay!!! Falkland calamari was tasteless and dry. The chicken livers had a weird texture sauce. The Jalapeno cheesey chips were over-fried and baked further for the cheese to melt and resulted in dehydrated chips. The bread offered with the livers was a burger 🍔 bun cut in half , toasted and served. 😏. Not impressed! The only decent starter was the Peppered boerewors. 😕

Oh what a great experience. Highly recommend Joop's Place for Meat. If you want to have a great steak, consider Joop's place and be blesses with a steak out of this world. I had a Tomahawk and my partner had a Lamb Shank. We both enjoyed our meals to the core. Lol, I even put the cutlery to decisively deal with the bone. We were both so full we had to take dessert away. Service was great, though it was packed due to the occasion of that day. Atmosphere is well balanced. Definitely going back for another steak!

This was my first time at Joop’s — and let me tell you, it’s easily one of the best steakhouses I’ve ever been to! I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes, and it was absolutely incredible. The mash was buttery and silky smooth, and the lamb just melted in my mouth — cooked to perfection. The quality, flavor, and experience were all top-notch. Joop’s is definitely going to be a regular stop for me every time I’m in Durban. Highly recommended!

What an excellent place ,staff are so good at explaining what's on the menu nd making you feel at home ,,as for the manager, just makes you feel so welcome,what great value for money place ,,I had a 950g tomahawk,,which was excellent tasting and just R380 at that time ,,,5 stars is abit less ,,,maybe 10 stars 🌟 have to go back to try the rest of the meals

These were the best pork ribs I have ever had! Their main dishes are inexplicably appetizing. Their food is impeccable and definitely delectable. The succulent meat dishes are paired with flavourful and yummy sides of choice... I personally enjoyed their style of butternut. It was hearty and scrumptious. This is the type of place you go to EAT! And if you're a meat Lover, you will definitely enjoy the food this place. The atmosphere is chilled. The meals are of great quantities, good quality and definitely value for money. 💸

What a lovely restaurant, with excellent service and superb food. I had the famous pepper fillet in a pan ... man oh man was this good‼️ It is cooked in the sauce in a small copper pan... and then served in the pan. Absolutely the best steak I've had in a very long time. My wife had the regular fillet, with a cheese sauce and she also complimented the steak, and mentioned that the cheese sauce was very good and creamy. Pity I don't get to Durban often enough to enjoy this in a more regular basis.
