My family and I have been eating here since it opened in 1968. Although I've liv d abroad for 0 years, I always go back to the Thundergin for a steak (or the occasional prawns) when visiting family in Johannesburg. The food is excellent and the service helpful and charming - most staff have been there for a long time, which speaks for itself. So, if you're in that part of th city, do yourself a favour and have an excellent evening at the Thundergun.

We drove 30km just to get here. My rump with mushrooms and cheese was well worth the trip. Even on a Thursday this restaurant was buzzing. I have had their carvery on a Sunday that was so worth the trip. Recommended restuarant can be open from 1968 till now if they didn't know their steak. Take the drive

I was informed by a friend to visit the steakhouse as it was known for its phenomenal quality of food.

Being inquisitive, I booked a family lunch for my birthday. The restaurant has a very warm atmosphere with extremely friendly staff.

The food was of great quality, and even though the restaurant was very busy, not a single dish came from the kitchen cold.

I will reccommmend this restaurant to anyone. Ofcourse you need to love meat as this is their specialty.

Thanks team for helping me have a wonderful birthday. I shall be back!

I have been here many times, always when I am in Johannesburg, and I was never disappointed.
This time together with my wife - and she was also very satisfied with the food. The steaks (and also the other dishes) are just excellent, the portions large and the staff very friendly.
You can't go wrong here!
