Murphy's Law Bar & Grill

Terrible service and terrible hygiene. My friends and I went for breakfast at this restaurant (I use this term very loosely). The waitress was very impatient and rude when taking our orders. On the menu, mushrooms are R10.00 but, after requesting the bill, the waitress charged me R15.00. When I asked her about the inconsistency, she immediately told me I was wrong before checking the menu. After she checked the menu, she returned and said: "the menu is old", with an attitude without any sign of remorse or apology. I wish the trauma ended there, however, she continued to bring us dirty plates (see image attached). Ewww right, dirty plates and cutlery. Do not eat here, I repeat, DO NOT EAT HERE. Just when I thought things could not get worst. The waitress came back to our table and requested my friend remove his hat. We asked her why then she left our table mumbling "it's not allowed". Huh ? since when do restaurants not allow hats? Bear in mind, we were seated outside in the blazing sun. I've never felt so unwelcome, unappreciated and disrespected like this at a restaurant. At this point, we were ready to leave and requested she calls the manager. She informed us that the manager just left. We asked a different waiter and that waiter pointed out that the manager was not only still there but seated two tables away from us. The waiter told the manager we requested him but the manager was too busy on the phone to assist customers. How disappointing. My friends and I paid the bill and left without our food. If the service is a reflection of the culture and standards that Murphy's law upholds then I don't even want to see what their food looks like. I am not one to complain a lot or write reviews but I want to warn others about this horrible restaurant. I don't think the people are horrible but if they want to survive in this industry, the management needs to seriously change the culture and standard. My views and opinions are strictly based on my experience. And I would leave zero stars if I could. Regards

Proper pub grub. The eisbein is an all time favorite. Everything on the menu is priced very well with a nice variety of light meals to serious dishes. The kind if place you go for a lunch and end up spending hours with friends.

The place has a good vibe, with karaoke on a Thursday evening when we visited (for those that are interested). Service is friendly. Seating both inside and outside is comfortable. Food is delicious (especially considering that this is a late night kitchen and primarily a bar!). The lamb chops, lamb shank and side of vegetables were all well seasoned, freshly prepared and affordable. Definitely recommended for a casual dinner experience with your partner or friends without breaking the bank. If not already obvious, this is not a kid-friendly place owing to the alcohol and prevalence of smokers.

Typical bar vibes. It was a bit loud and distracting when communicating with your partner. I would not suggest this place for a quiet dine in experience. The music is rather loud, the TV volume is loud and the customers in general are loud. The food was decent and not too costly

Went for sunday lunch, good service. Ordered the food platter and they did not have all the items listed as options on the menu and sauces. (Take it off your menu if you dont stock it) Food was good though. No entertainment, but was told they do karaoke in the evening.

I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant before. They claim to sell burgers with 200g patties, but I had to actually look for the meat. I asked for crispy bacon, but instead they just added extra bacon on the bill. The manager wasn't helpfull at all u0026 instead of actually just said they sell lots of burgers.

I will NEVER go back or recommend the restaurant to anyone!
