The food here was very good! I had the mini seafood platter and everything on the plate was very extremely tasty. Just a headsup the prawns that is covered in amazing sauce has not been shelled so I got quite a suprize when I took a bite of shell. My husband had the "Mr. Pig" pizza and well it was a pizza. Being from out of town the place lacked atmosphere, but this could be because we got them on the wrong night. Very beautiful view of the dam I would recommend eating there.
Great place with a great couple that owns the place. Food is very nice and also the prizes. One of the best views over the river. The sun sets there is spectacular. Fishing is also very nice right in front of the Lodge.
Possibly the best Filet Steak I have ever had in any Restaurant...#popeyesteak. Awesome views right on the Vaal river at Boemhof. With so many interesting dishes on the menu we will need to return a couple times to try them all....
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
