Always enjoy a visit to Hennies, lekker spot for a doppie and some food. Just an update. Floyd makes the experience so much better, look after staff of that nature!!
A typical franchise type environment, lots of awesome stuff, excellent story behind the restaurant. It lacks personal, hands on management. The food is what is generally expected, service was a bit slow on the day. It does have an atmosphere that could be classed as legendary. Great facilities with a good location. I’m sue they will do amazing with a younger party type crowd. Cheers
Janco at Hennie’s Restaurant gave us such a great experience. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. His service was quick and professional, and he really went the extra mile to make everything enjoyable.The food was just as impressive! Fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Everything came out perfectly and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Overall, a fantastic visit with great service and delicious food. Definitely coming back!
If exceptional service had a name, it would be Christell 😍. From the moment we arrived, her warmth, energy, and genuine enthusiasm completely set the tone for the entire experience. She has this incredible ability to make you feel instantly comfortable — like you’re not just another customer, but someone truly welcome.What stood out the most for me was how naturally she created a space that felt inclusive and relaxed. As the only black person there at the time, it meant a lot that she made me feel completely at home without a single awkward moment🥹. That level of awareness and kindness is rare, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person she is.Christell doesn’t just serve tables — she creates an experience. Her attention, positivity, and authentic personality won me over from day one.🤯🥳Because of her, I’ll definitely be coming back to Hennies PE again 😊. If you go, do yourself a favor and ask for Christell — you’ll understand exactly what I mean.❤️
We recently visited Hennie’s – Port Elizabeth for the first time and had a fantastic experience!The atmosphere was on point — a great vibe with good music. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy yourself.A special shoutout to our waiter, Hugo. His high energy and quick-witted sense of humour made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He kept us laughing while still being professional and attentive. Despite the restaurant being busy, he made sure we were well looked after at all times. Service like that really makes a difference.We were also impressed with the multi-play area for the kids. It makes dining out as a family so much easier. An extra thank you to the amazing, patient lady who kept a caring eye on the little ones — it allowed the parents to relax and enjoy their meal, which is such a treat.All in all, a wonderful outing with good food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!
Great vibe, would definitely recommend.Bongi was our waiter and he was great. Really friendly and our whole table of 20 didn’t have any issues.I had to leave early so I had to pay separately and he remembered and separated my order from the rest without me having to ask and gave me the slip. Haven’t really seen that kind of service anywhere else.Also a very positive atmosphere and spirit between the staff members which is always great to see.
We recently had our end of year function at Hennies PE, and we can only compliment the food, drinks and service we got from all staff members and of course the vibe is always lekker! We received awesome service from Olga and her team and communication with TJ was also exceptional. Everything went smooth sailing. Thank you for a wonderful day!
A simple breakfast run was not the simple. From the moment you walk through the door, you are met with smiles and happiness. Food was good. Beers was cold but the service was sublime. Jean, thank for making a simple breakfast run an absolute event. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers. Full marks all the way.
Bongi was a legend!!!!!!!!! What a vibe funny guy. Service was awesome. Slidertjies beef and chicken burgers were so LEKKER!!!! 10/10 beer, food and vibes. Love the Hotdogs, burgers and pizza and sides and fries! The house rules too.
Hennies to my rescue!!At around 12:30pm I arrived at the venue that I originally booked for my sons 4th birthday party. My husband and I both phoned the owner on numerous times to open up so we can set up, but no one answered…I realised that if I don’t make a plan very quickly, i will have a disaster of a party. The only place that I could think of that has enough space and would be able to cater was Hennies PE! I phoned them and told the manager (Joshua) that that I urgently need a new venue and asked if they would be able to host us. He said it’s nou problem we can work out the details when we arrive. THANK GOODNESS!!!Upon arrival I was greeted by the friendly bouncers who offered to help carry the birthday cake. The manager even helped me to get the cake in the fridge as it started to melt while waiting at the previous venue.While we were busy running around my son ran out the gate and Monique (one of the many friendly waiters!) saw him and went to get him. Thank you, because i honestly did not realise he ran out after his dad.Our super star waiter Nathan…. That man deserves a raise!! He helped us with ideas on what to order (as my party budget did not include a trip to Hennies) so everyone can have a treat. He juggled multiple orders, kids running around and taking care of cleaning the tables!!! He was calm, always friendly and definitely one of the best waiters I’ve ever met. Hennies PE, you should take care of him, because he will take care of the bigger tables with a smile!Thank you for turning my almost disaster party into something memorable! We definitely will recommend the pups party to anyone, because Hennies PE will go above and beyond to give you the best service in town. I appreciate all the effort today.
A spacious and lively restaurant with something for everyone. The menu offers a huge variety of food and drinks, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you’re in the mood for a full meal or just a drink, there’s plenty to choose from.Families are welcome, with a safe and secure play area for kids, while sports lovers can catch live games on big screens in a relaxed setting.In addition to the great dining experience, the restaurant also sells a variety of clothing and exclusive Hennessy memorabilia, making it a unique spot to shop while you dine.
Update: Hennie’s Redeemed Themselves – Great Experience!After a disappointing first visit, I’m really happy to share that Hennie’s took my feedback seriously and completely turned things around.On our return, the restaurant was open on time, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we felt truly valued as customers.The breakfast was delicious! I highly recommend the budget breakfast – it’s affordable and comes with a great Americano. We added chips to our meal without any fuss, which made it even better.Hennie’s definitely redeemed themselves, and we’ll be back again. Big thanks to the team for showing how good customer service is done!Extremely Disappointed – Hoping for a ResponseVisited Hennies on 6th July to kick off our 3-year anniversary with a special breakfast. Sadly, it turned into a frustrating experience before the day even began.We arrived at 8:45 AM and were told by a staff member that the restaurant opens at 9:00 AM. We waited patiently, but once 9:00 arrived, the gates were still locked, and the staff were still busy setting up. Despite us clearly standing and trying to enter, we were completely ignored. No greeting, no update, no communication at all.This was supposed to be our first visit, using a voucher that expires on 9th July, but the lack of basic customer service ruined the experience entirely.We expected a warm welcome – especially for new customers – but received the opposite. I understand now why others may have shared similar concerns.I hope Hennies management will reach out directly to resolve this, as it’s important feedback and not how any business should treat its patrons.
Lisa was absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and always had a warm smile. She made our dining experience extra special with her excellent service and kind attitude. Thank you, Lisa – we’ll definitely be coming back because of you!
We had a kids party for my daughter.we had a few adults aswell we had a waitress Olga she was amazing very friendly and helpful,and can imagine it was a handful. Great service and great atmosphere.thanks again.
What an amazing place to visit. Friendly staff, very delicious food. Prices is low.
Today 21 April 2025 – I visited Hennie’s PE branch and was really looking forward to the experience that everybody all talked about. While the atmosphere and overall vibe of the place were great, I was quite disappointed with the food.We specifically requested well-done steak, but unfortunately, it was served raw, we didn’t want to cause a scene and send the food back cause I said to my friend its fine Ill eat it as I dont mind it being a bit raw. So not a pain and we enjoyed our day further on. Additionally, I ordered a biltong cheeseburger for takeaway for someone at home, only to find the patty was also undercooked and still blood raw. (See picture attached), wich added to my frustration cause why would this be so raw.For a first-time visit, this was a very underwhelming experience in terms of food quality. I truly hope this feedback helps improve the kitchen standards going forward, as the venue itself has great potential.
– Vibe is great.- Drinks are great.However, there food is not so great. We really enjoyed their Pizza’s, but our Buffalo Wings were not so great, chicken was off.There burger buns were old and toasting them does not make it better. Buns were old on both the Cheeselouise and sliders.We also did not receive the great shoe string fries either.Overall, great place for drinks and pizza.
Pleasantly surprised with the vibe at this establishment. Service was excellent and the food amazing.
Christel provided an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service, warmth, and professionalism. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our meal truly enjoyable. From prompt service to thoughtful recommendations, Christel ensured every detail was perfect. Their genuine smile and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere. We felt valued and well taken care of. Without a doubt, Christel is a fantastic asset to the team. Highly recommend dining here just for their service!
I had a lovely waitress with the name Simone during my first time at Hennies the past Saturday. She was very lively and patient, the service was phenomenal. The drinks and food we ordered were delicious and generously portioned. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun.I will definitely visit again soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐As doctors from out of PE working over the Christmas holidays, we were looking for a place to soak up some festive vibes and have fun. We found exactly that!Simone was the best waitress ever—her passion for her job truly shines through. She made us feel right at home with her warm and friendly service. We also received a lovely welcome from Jadin and Alycia, who added to the cheerful atmosphere.I absolutely loved the unique rules, although drinking with my left hand was quite the challenge! 🤣🤣Overall, we had an amazing time and left with our spirits lifted. Thank you for making our holiday special!
All I can say is thank you! We booked a table for 21 people for Tuesday night. We had a blast. From the music Bingo to the food and drinks, it was all good. The service from the staff and management was excellent. Made our evening even more memorable. We will be back!
Quirky humour in menu, good service, indoor and outdoor seating, tv for sports, flavourful food.Daily lunch specials for dine in only. Wednesday half price cocktails and pizza. Glad we chose to dine here. Wi-fi available.High five to Jadin, He was a good server, explained the layout of the restaurant and was attentive!
Food is great and we had really good service too. There is a lekker vibe to watch the rugby or have a couple of drinks with friends
Food is tops, service is excellent, over all vibe is great. Waiter Riley on the ball all the time👍
Really enjoyed the ambience and fun, lively atmosphere. Thanks to Josh, the friendly manager, who made sure we had enough to drink and were kept happy.The bathroom was clean and waiters were on hand.We’ll be back.
Always have a fantastic time. So festive. The last supper I had there, the Manger on shift was extremely busy, running up and down to sort things out but still took the time to talk me about my queries. He was very friendly and left us feeling welcomed and valued as customers. Thank you Mr Joshua.
I took a party of 20 people for drinks ( lots ) and eats on Saturday 12th October, only to be told by the bouncer to leave mid drinks, because they are closing. I have no problem with closing time, but at least call last rounds before I order drinks again.Give them the benefit of doubt, and went back on Wednesday 16th October for a beer and lunch, only to be told again by the waiter while still eating to move out of the smoking area because it’s booked out.Now, I never write reviews, but PE needs venues like this, it is a fantastic concept, and I would love for them to succeed.However, twice in one week.
The waiter was really good but the food and drinks slow to arrive. The establishment was far from busy or packed at the time we visited. The loaded chips must have stood awhile before being served because the chips were soggy. The eishbein was a HUGE no-no as it was fried old oil with a distinct aftertaste. After complaining we received feedback that we were not the first to raise the issue. No compensation of any kind was offered. No lekka atmosphere will make me want to eat there again.
We were there on a Wednesday 🙆🏾♂️and apparently they have Pizza specials. It was packed to the core and had to wait in line. One waiter advised that you have to book a table to avoid the queue and ensure that you have a spot. When there’s rugby, it gets even more packed. Great spot to hangout
Plan was to watch the Springboks vs Argentina this past Saturday 28 September 2024. Firstly we were told at the gate that you had to have a booking to enter 😏 ok fine. Someone who works in the place was kind enough to let us in and promised to find us a table. Once inside the place wasn’t so welcoming really,one waiter approached and said he would look for a place for us but he just disappeard and never came back. We ended up leaving after seeing another couple of colour going through the same experience. Overall the place gave vibes of whites only and you are not welcomed here.When the place was Barney’s during the 2023 Rugby world cup we watched a match and the place was absolutely packed and the environment was welcoming unlike now.
Riley is the best waiter here. Service delivery on point and just an absolute vibe! Thank you Riley for making my experience in South Africa from the over seas absolutely memorable! I’ll never forget this day!
Visited twice. During the week, the service was slow. However, on game day, Bokke vs Portugal, staff and service was amazing. They were so attentive I got give red cards on game day 😉 Love the house rules!
Hennie’s is a really great place.They have great play areas for most age groups.Their playground attendants were on point!It’s very convenient to have some seating area IN the play area.The food was great. The service was excellent!Highly recommend.I wish they had a branch in KZN.
Firstly, our waitress, Courtney, was absolutely amazing. However, there was a short brunette door lady with a clip in her hair that was extremely rude, when I addressed it she got in my face. We ended up taking out food and leaving and unfortunately won’t be returning as she brought the company’s name into I’ll repute.
Second visit and still very impressed ! The food is wonderful, and the service sharp 👌🏻 Staff are fun and friendly. Justice, probably spelled his name wrong, was charming and efficient. He managed our table of 10 like a pro. Big thumbs up 👍🏻
Second time I’ve visited Hennies PE – and not a great experience. Tried booking a table last week and were advised that they do not take bookings on Saturdays. Got there at 6pm on Saturday and asked for a table for 7 and we were told that we should’ve booked… they did however get a table for us outside in the front. We asked to be informed when something better opens up and the lady’s exact words were “we don’t know if that’s gonna happen”… we sat at the table for 35 minutes and no one attended to us, we didn’t even get menus. The two ladies in the front walked past us multiple times. Eventually we got a table inside and the service was much better by waiter Jean.We ordered loaded fries and it looked like it was standing for an hour – it was cold and not presentable at all. Sent it back to the kitchen and got the exact plate back that was heated up in the microwave – however still cold. Sent it back again and luckily it was better the second time around.The two ladies in charge of seating customers definitely need to work on their attitudes as it is the first impression when a person walks into Hennies.Will definitely give it a good few months before visiting again, maybe it gets better .
Amazing environment. Frequent the establishment regularly for breakfast or lunch etc. Staff has always been kind. Courteous. And service has been splendid, even taking into account that it sometimes is so busy, but staff does inform us that the kitchen is backed up. And for that kudos! Amazing establishmentJean was a great waiter! Made sure we were happy!
Great Food, Amazing Service, well done Hennies PE ! Amazing Kids Play area with Childminders looking after your kids while having a good time. Also overheard they do amazing Kids Birthday Parties. 10/10 !
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hennie’s Robertson, and it was truly a five-star experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home.The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and I was impressed by the freshness and quality of the ingredients. I tried the Ice Bein, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The accompanying sides were equally delicious and thoughtfully prepared.Service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal.The highlight was definitely the dessert; the waiter recommended we try the jelly baby shooters. Definitely something worth drinking on your visit.Overall, Hennie’s Robertson exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommended!
Experienced Hennies first in Bloem, lekker!Port Elizabeth – good impressions and hope they find their feet in time to come, this game is not very forgiving.We had a fun filled evening, attentive service, pleasant snacks, cold beer and a good laugh.Lots of staff, good attitude & pleasant greeters at the door. Thank you
The restaurant is a fun place to be, and the rules make it even better. I’m crazy about rule 1 and rule 7. I’m not going to mention them because I’d rather you visit to find out. It’s funny. The prices are very good, and the burger was really delicious. But please do note on the menu that there are chilies on it. Some people are allergic to chilies, which can cause ulcer problems in the boddy. The chips are like McDonald’s chips; I love them. The onion rings are like Spur onion rings, but please use less salt. They were really salty and the steak was perfect. The beer was not ice-cold; it was more cool than cold like ice. The sides you choose with your meal are good choices, so you will not get bored quickly from eating the same meals. The restaurant is spacious and has a play area for kids, making it a good place for kids in the morning and daytime. In the night, it’s more for adults. Yes, I’ll go back again and try the nachos, but I wonder plain nachos with cheese or with mince.
As with all new places that open in PE…very busy, nice vibe!But, Hennies, don’t forget rule #1.Charging 10% and actually not giving it to your staff is very low! Expecting them to hand over cash tips to management is very low!Fining staff for parking in centre parking is low…the centre owns the parking.Will I go drink beer there again?Yes!Will I pay the 10% levied on my bill?Absolutely not!But I will slip the staff cash and hopefully theh won’t hand it in to management.
Had a lovely birthday lunch here. Our waitress, Kanyi, made us feel so welcome.
Hennie’s is absolutely amazing – we go at least once a week and have never been disappointed with the food or service.Always a great vibe, lots of friendly people and delicious food!
Nice bar atmosphere with lots of drinking. Food is average and you can expect to wait an hour. The child minders just lie on slides not really looking after kids.
Sat outside in the rain and was promised a table under cover as soon as one opened up , when 1 did open up they gave it to other people. The order got messed up but the waitress was very kind about it. Waaaaay over capacity though, waitresses and kitchen can’t keep up… Hennies in George is much better!!!!
We had great service from Hannah,our waitress.nice vibe with good food. I found that starter portion of mealies was exceptional small and pricy( on the menu it’s called Bothaville)
Ordered food. Waited an hour. Then we’re told our food will be another 45 min. Told them to cancel everything. We were offered a free pizza. Ordered two pizzas to share( as it would come out quicker). Then we’re told no it’s a free focaccia, not pizza. So the pizza arrives and the next minute all the food arrives (after we cancelled) and we had to pay the whole bill, plus 10% service fee which management adds automatically. Had to put the whole food order in take away boxes.Will not be back. Sorry.
Excellent service and vibe!! Food was great and staff so friendly and helpfull. Always cleaning up – no problem with over full table. Got a good fright and laugh every now and again when staff blew whistles at people breaking the right hand drinking rule!
Highly recommended. Superb quality food. Fast and friendly service. Lekker atmosphere. Great music. 5*
Awesome new spot in PE! Great food… and top tier waitressing from our server ALEXIS!! All round awesome experience 😉
Amazing place, Great food and drinks. EXCELLENT SERVICE received from our waiter Alexis..🤩
Absolutely love the atmosphere here and had the best waiter checking in on us making sure we happy – Alexis, would sit at her section any day.Can’t wait to perches all your murch !
Finally in PE, perfect place to hang out with friends and family.. Great food,fast & happy service!!!

– Vibe is great.- Drinks are great.However, there food is not so great. We really enjoyed their Pizza’s, but our Buffalo Wings were not so great, chicken was off.There burger buns were old and toasting them does not make it better. Buns were old on both the Cheeselouise and sliders.We also did not receive the great shoe string fries either.Overall, great place for drinks and pizza.
Pleasantly surprised with the vibe at this establishment. Service was excellent and the food amazing.
Christel provided an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service, warmth, and professionalism. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our meal truly enjoyable. From prompt service to thoughtful recommendations, Christel ensured every detail was perfect. Their genuine smile and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere. We felt valued and well taken care of. Without a doubt, Christel is a fantastic asset to the team. Highly recommend dining here just for their service!
I had a lovely waitress with the name Simone during my first time at Hennies the past Saturday. She was very lively and patient, the service was phenomenal. The drinks and food we ordered were delicious and generously portioned. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun.I will definitely visit again soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐As doctors from out of PE working over the Christmas holidays, we were looking for a place to soak up some festive vibes and have fun. We found exactly that!Simone was the best waitress ever—her passion for her job truly shines through. She made us feel right at home with her warm and friendly service. We also received a lovely welcome from Jadin and Alycia, who added to the cheerful atmosphere.I absolutely loved the unique rules, although drinking with my left hand was quite the challenge! 🤣🤣Overall, we had an amazing time and left with our spirits lifted. Thank you for making our holiday special!
All I can say is thank you! We booked a table for 21 people for Tuesday night. We had a blast. From the music Bingo to the food and drinks, it was all good. The service from the staff and management was excellent. Made our evening even more memorable. We will be back!
Quirky humour in menu, good service, indoor and outdoor seating, tv for sports, flavourful food.Daily lunch specials for dine in only. Wednesday half price cocktails and pizza. Glad we chose to dine here. Wi-fi available.High five to Jadin, He was a good server, explained the layout of the restaurant and was attentive!
Food is great and we had really good service too. There is a lekker vibe to watch the rugby or have a couple of drinks with friends
Food is tops, service is excellent, over all vibe is great. Waiter Riley on the ball all the time👍
Really enjoyed the ambience and fun, lively atmosphere. Thanks to Josh, the friendly manager, who made sure we had enough to drink and were kept happy.The bathroom was clean and waiters were on hand.We’ll be back.
Always have a fantastic time. So festive. The last supper I had there, the Manger on shift was extremely busy, running up and down to sort things out but still took the time to talk me about my queries. He was very friendly and left us feeling welcomed and valued as customers. Thank you Mr Joshua.
I took a party of 20 people for drinks ( lots ) and eats on Saturday 12th October, only to be told by the bouncer to leave mid drinks, because they are closing. I have no problem with closing time, but at least call last rounds before I order drinks again.Give them the benefit of doubt, and went back on Wednesday 16th October for a beer and lunch, only to be told again by the waiter while still eating to move out of the smoking area because it’s booked out.Now, I never write reviews, but PE needs venues like this, it is a fantastic concept, and I would love for them to succeed.However, twice in one week.
The waiter was really good but the food and drinks slow to arrive. The establishment was far from busy or packed at the time we visited. The loaded chips must have stood awhile before being served because the chips were soggy. The eishbein was a HUGE no-no as it was fried old oil with a distinct aftertaste. After complaining we received feedback that we were not the first to raise the issue. No compensation of any kind was offered. No lekka atmosphere will make me want to eat there again.
We were there on a Wednesday 🙆🏾♂️and apparently they have Pizza specials. It was packed to the core and had to wait in line. One waiter advised that you have to book a table to avoid the queue and ensure that you have a spot. When there’s rugby, it gets even more packed. Great spot to hangout
Plan was to watch the Springboks vs Argentina this past Saturday 28 September 2024. Firstly we were told at the gate that you had to have a booking to enter 😏 ok fine. Someone who works in the place was kind enough to let us in and promised to find us a table. Once inside the place wasn’t so welcoming really,one waiter approached and said he would look for a place for us but he just disappeard and never came back. We ended up leaving after seeing another couple of colour going through the same experience. Overall the place gave vibes of whites only and you are not welcomed here.When the place was Barney’s during the 2023 Rugby world cup we watched a match and the place was absolutely packed and the environment was welcoming unlike now.
Riley is the best waiter here. Service delivery on point and just an absolute vibe! Thank you Riley for making my experience in South Africa from the over seas absolutely memorable! I’ll never forget this day!
Visited twice. During the week, the service was slow. However, on game day, Bokke vs Portugal, staff and service was amazing. They were so attentive I got give red cards on game day 😉 Love the house rules!
Hennie’s is a really great place.They have great play areas for most age groups.Their playground attendants were on point!It’s very convenient to have some seating area IN the play area.The food was great. The service was excellent!Highly recommend.I wish they had a branch in KZN.
Firstly, our waitress, Courtney, was absolutely amazing. However, there was a short brunette door lady with a clip in her hair that was extremely rude, when I addressed it she got in my face. We ended up taking out food and leaving and unfortunately won’t be returning as she brought the company’s name into I’ll repute.
Second visit and still very impressed ! The food is wonderful, and the service sharp 👌🏻 Staff are fun and friendly. Justice, probably spelled his name wrong, was charming and efficient. He managed our table of 10 like a pro. Big thumbs up 👍🏻
Second time I’ve visited Hennies PE – and not a great experience. Tried booking a table last week and were advised that they do not take bookings on Saturdays. Got there at 6pm on Saturday and asked for a table for 7 and we were told that we should’ve booked… they did however get a table for us outside in the front. We asked to be informed when something better opens up and the lady’s exact words were “we don’t know if that’s gonna happen”… we sat at the table for 35 minutes and no one attended to us, we didn’t even get menus. The two ladies in the front walked past us multiple times. Eventually we got a table inside and the service was much better by waiter Jean.We ordered loaded fries and it looked like it was standing for an hour – it was cold and not presentable at all. Sent it back to the kitchen and got the exact plate back that was heated up in the microwave – however still cold. Sent it back again and luckily it was better the second time around.The two ladies in charge of seating customers definitely need to work on their attitudes as it is the first impression when a person walks into Hennies.Will definitely give it a good few months before visiting again, maybe it gets better .
Amazing environment. Frequent the establishment regularly for breakfast or lunch etc. Staff has always been kind. Courteous. And service has been splendid, even taking into account that it sometimes is so busy, but staff does inform us that the kitchen is backed up. And for that kudos! Amazing establishmentJean was a great waiter! Made sure we were happy!
Great Food, Amazing Service, well done Hennies PE ! Amazing Kids Play area with Childminders looking after your kids while having a good time. Also overheard they do amazing Kids Birthday Parties. 10/10 !
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hennie’s Robertson, and it was truly a five-star experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home.The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and I was impressed by the freshness and quality of the ingredients. I tried the Ice Bein, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The accompanying sides were equally delicious and thoughtfully prepared.Service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal.The highlight was definitely the dessert; the waiter recommended we try the jelly baby shooters. Definitely something worth drinking on your visit.Overall, Hennie’s Robertson exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommended!
Experienced Hennies first in Bloem, lekker!Port Elizabeth – good impressions and hope they find their feet in time to come, this game is not very forgiving.We had a fun filled evening, attentive service, pleasant snacks, cold beer and a good laugh.Lots of staff, good attitude & pleasant greeters at the door. Thank you
The restaurant is a fun place to be, and the rules make it even better. I’m crazy about rule 1 and rule 7. I’m not going to mention them because I’d rather you visit to find out. It’s funny. The prices are very good, and the burger was really delicious. But please do note on the menu that there are chilies on it. Some people are allergic to chilies, which can cause ulcer problems in the boddy. The chips are like McDonald’s chips; I love them. The onion rings are like Spur onion rings, but please use less salt. They were really salty and the steak was perfect. The beer was not ice-cold; it was more cool than cold like ice. The sides you choose with your meal are good choices, so you will not get bored quickly from eating the same meals. The restaurant is spacious and has a play area for kids, making it a good place for kids in the morning and daytime. In the night, it’s more for adults. Yes, I’ll go back again and try the nachos, but I wonder plain nachos with cheese or with mince.
As with all new places that open in PE…very busy, nice vibe!But, Hennies, don’t forget rule #1.Charging 10% and actually not giving it to your staff is very low! Expecting them to hand over cash tips to management is very low!Fining staff for parking in centre parking is low…the centre owns the parking.Will I go drink beer there again?Yes!Will I pay the 10% levied on my bill?Absolutely not!But I will slip the staff cash and hopefully theh won’t hand it in to management.
Had a lovely birthday lunch here. Our waitress, Kanyi, made us feel so welcome.
Hennie’s is absolutely amazing – we go at least once a week and have never been disappointed with the food or service.Always a great vibe, lots of friendly people and delicious food!
Nice bar atmosphere with lots of drinking. Food is average and you can expect to wait an hour. The child minders just lie on slides not really looking after kids.
Sat outside in the rain and was promised a table under cover as soon as one opened up , when 1 did open up they gave it to other people. The order got messed up but the waitress was very kind about it. Waaaaay over capacity though, waitresses and kitchen can’t keep up… Hennies in George is much better!!!!
We had great service from Hannah,our waitress.nice vibe with good food. I found that starter portion of mealies was exceptional small and pricy( on the menu it’s called Bothaville)
Ordered food. Waited an hour. Then we’re told our food will be another 45 min. Told them to cancel everything. We were offered a free pizza. Ordered two pizzas to share( as it would come out quicker). Then we’re told no it’s a free focaccia, not pizza. So the pizza arrives and the next minute all the food arrives (after we cancelled) and we had to pay the whole bill, plus 10% service fee which management adds automatically. Had to put the whole food order in take away boxes.Will not be back. Sorry.
Excellent service and vibe!! Food was great and staff so friendly and helpfull. Always cleaning up – no problem with over full table. Got a good fright and laugh every now and again when staff blew whistles at people breaking the right hand drinking rule!
Highly recommended. Superb quality food. Fast and friendly service. Lekker atmosphere. Great music. 5*
