Spur has gone too far

I’m amazed at the vitriol aimed at the Spur. Maybe it’s because I’m from overseas and there is nothing of this type that is affordable, but I genuinely don’t think you realise what a great institution you have on your hands.

I do wonder what kind of quality the people who have a pop at the place are used to?

Edible food for a start....

There are LITERALLY 1 000's of places in the Western Cape alone, that serve better food at the same or cheaper price.

Restaurant. R60 for a brekkie. Cheap as chips. Went there this morning walking past people in these expensive bistro's having poached eggs for much more.

R60 isn't cheap anymore, used to be R19 about 8 years ago, used to take my son often to Spur.

No like a gay friend said the two most important things in life is great coffee and a great bed to sleep on since you'll be sleeping for 1/3rd of your life. I've had a DeLonghi coffee machine which I'll replace soon and I only sleep on proper Cloud Nine beds.

Yeah no that was before I was born probably.

You're only 5 years old?? The R29 breakfast was about 5/6 years ago

Pappacino's has them beat on that. Great food at reasonable pricing with good entertainment areas for the kids.

Nah they don't have them beat in my area, the 2 Spurs close to me still have pappachinos beat on playgrounds and pappachinos isn't cheap either. Yeah the food is marginally better. But until they get a full sized jet in their playground a lot of kids won't go back.

I don't "hate" the place...that word is not applicable.

Their food is just inedible and extremely expensive.

Two quite good reasons not to eat there I would say...

If they were true perhaps. But R70 for a burger with chips and onions is hardly expensive, and as for inedible, clearly emotional nonsense.

There are about 4700 restaurants in the western cape according to Tripadvisor. My wife’s places is one of the top ones. I know what good food is and although the Spur isn’t going to win any awards, it’s good honest food at a decent price I reckon. Certainly not inedible.

Which ones are those then?

And NO...the Spur does not serve "good, honest food"...that is a ridiculous statement.

Where did I say it is expensive??

You can get a 1 000 better for R70.....that is the point.

I really cannot believe people are will to die on the culinary hill that is the Spur??

What's next? "The Wimpy is good and tasty...'cos I can get an egg and coffee for R10"...?

It's more like predictable mediocre quality food priced at a premium. Personally I find Spur to be sub-mediocre.
 
There are two spurs in my town. The one is horrible but the other one is lekker. Don't forget that management goes a long way.
