Great atmosphere and service. This time around not as pet friendly as there were no water bowls offered for our little one. However, overall the food was delicious. For two people and a fur baby, the bill came to around R450 excluding the tip.

J-bay bru co has a vibrant vibe and is an awesome place to hang out, especially in Jeffreys Bay. Service was slightly on the slow side, but it is December and extremely busy, so that’s understandable. Some of the food wasn’t to everyone’s taste at our table, but overall the experience was still very enjoyable. Definitely a great place and one I’d happily visit again. Worth a stop if you’re in JBay. Very friendly staff.

Great food, friendly waiters and interesting restaurant. Eye catching merchandise and have comfortable seating areas. Would recommend the breakfast bowl for breakfast! Very delicious.

Pizza is always good. Unfortunately they often don’t have the beers that are on the menu but the ones they do have are decent. The service is acceptable but not great. They lost a star because we were brought our bill without being asked and we had hoped to have dessert? Felt chased out of the restaurant. We walked down the road to another restaurant to get something sweet to end off our meal. Overall is one of the better places to eat in J-bay.

Great name for a place and decor looks awesome too! Special mention of that cool mosiac as you enter. Walking distance from one of the main beaches, parking on the street, but more than enough space. Pet friendly, but only by the outdoor section which is understandable. Great craft beer selection! And as awesome burgers. I had a Jack Black Cherry craft beer and loved it! Food wise, I had a Mexicana Burger and it was good and fresh! My only compliant would be I wish it were more spicy?

Honestly one of our all-time favourites. We’ve been here countless times and it never disappoints. The service is excellent (best waiter is Taps), the food is great, and there are vegetarian options available. It’s incredibly versatile – you can work from the garden or lounge area, or enjoy a relaxed lunch with friends who have kids thanks to the dedicated play area. It’s the perfect spot for just about any occasion. This place hardly needs recommending because everyone already loves it, but it absolutely deserves five stars.

We absolutely enjoyed the delightful breakfast! The coffee was good and the service was wonderful. We really enjoyed being here, the shop is so quirky and interesting! Later in the week we ordered some pizza’s which were also awesome.

First time at Jay Bay Bru Co and very impressed. Best prawns I’ve ever had! Lovely and quick service. Great vibe, indoor and outdoor area with an area that is a combo of both. Fresh food and the bill for two people with food and drinks came to R537 excl. tip! House Brew is a lovely fruity craft beer, nothing I’ve tasted before. Definitely more of a cider with a crisp light finish than a heavy lager type beer.
