As motorcyclists, this has rapidly become one of my favourite destinations. The burgers are large and delicious. They are generous with their English breakfasts. The chips are first rate. The dagwood is my current favourite. Really great coffee, and the pancakes are a winner. All of this at really good prices. Seating is provided in the form of long benches under the shade which ensures a festive atmosphere. If you're lucky, you can be seated at one of the tables. Service is prompt, and always with a smile. The only downside is that this place is only open at weekends. Otherwise I highly recommend it. A well-deserved five stars from me. Oh yes, the coffee is also really good.

What a lovely little place. Awesome strong and hot cappuccino with cream. The staff are amazing, Agnes was friendly, energetic and just a lovely person. We wanted loaded fries, they did not have it on the menu, but Agnes said no problem, and we got our fries. Freshly baked scones cream and strawberry jam, out of this world. All round lovely and heart warming experience on an overcast and cool day.

Service was good and food came out relatively fast despite the lunch rush. I got the chicken schnitzel, which is a good serving size! The English breakfast is also a good option. The outdoor seats were also nice. A good place for lunch if you're in the area.

We had n burger and loaded fries. It was really well presented. Very tasty and well priced. No soggy bottom burger. I enjoyed the ice bucket with our drinks. The owner\manager visited the table. Thuli was our friendly waiter.

I'm shocked. The service was extremely fast and friendly. Agnes was one of the best waitresses we've had. The breakfast was perfection! The cheese griller was definitely a standout, and the eggs were exactly how I liked them. The atmosphere is great, in a small street with bikers driving by and families enjoying the Sunday out. We can't wait to be back, and it's worth a drive from Pretoria to Cullinan. It's great for friends and families, and even couples. It's good for any crowd and definitely has a good vibe.
