    Wrong meal not once but TWICE

    Started off well with a friendly welcome and a quirky menu design that looks a bit like a bingo card. But it all sort of went down hill from there. I ordered - clearly enough I thought - a prawn and kingklip kebab. Lo and...More

    All week as an international visitor, I have been entertaining clients and colleagues in the Bull Run in Sandton- I am very impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly staff. Highly recommended - one of the best in Sandton!

    Horrible!

    Waited over 1 hour for order, arrived cold and wrong. Management tried to talk their way out of it. Bull run used to be good and one of the favourite restaurants in Sandton. Servica and quality has gone down to a suspicious quality. Not worth...More

    Unjustifyably benefiting from their location surrounded by hotels.

    Until a year ago you could enjoy good food in nice ambiance. Now it's completely changed - inadequate, unattentive service and average food. Reheated chicken and soggy fries were not what I ordered! Please try harder, there was great potential.More
