My family brought me here for a Father's day surprise, and it was well worth it. The warm welcome and quick drinks more than made up for the winter evening cold. The food was worth waiting for, just perfect in every way from the prawns to the ribs. I often judge restaurants by their creme brulee.....I'll be back.

I dived in here on a recommendation and with a time limit. Although they seemed busy the greeter was able to sit me immediately at a table for one (something many restaurant struggle to find when busy) When I asked for a recommendation between 2 dishes the waitress recommended the ribs as I was in a hurry (the staff communicate...

Being going to this restaurant for 6 years. Great portions, good atmosphere but the service is slipping. When you have to ask a waitress four times for a knife an fork and still have to fetch it yourself - it's just not good enough. A free Dom Pedro at the end of a meal is a bribe and not rectifying...

Somehow I always relate my experience to any restaurant I eat at to Crawdady's Centurion. This is due to the high standard set here. Need I say more. Wonderful food, great service and atmosphere. Have also dined at Brooklyn although food is also as good, I prefer the atmosphere at Centurion.

I usually don't write a review after my first visit to a restaurant, but Crawdaddy's is a definite exception. A colleague and I are in Pretoria on a business trip. Since we arrived too late for dinner at our guest house, the host of our guest house recommended Crawdaddy's, getting there as soon as possible given that this is a... More

As first time visitors to Pretoria, we just turned up at 8pm on a Monday night and the place was jumping! Clearly this is a favourite with the locals and we had a great time. Good atmosphere, great choice of menus and combinations. Attentive and friendly service from the young waiters. Steaks were great, seafood good and the portions were... More
