About

Nothing can be better than ordering perfectly cooked calamari, fish & chips and fish. Most likely, you'll return to this restaurant later to taste good beer. The Deck is famous for its great service and friendly staff, that is always ready to help you. A lot of reviewers point out that the atmosphere is peaceful here. But visitors rate this place below average on Google.

My visit to The Deck restaurant in Gonubie was thoroughly disappointing. The prawns were not just dry but embarrassingly undercooked, devoid of any accompanying sauce. The chicken, supposed to be warm, arrived cold, raising serious concerns about the kitchen's competence. The waiter's dismissive responses, particularly the unhelpful "I don't make the rules," showcased a lack of customer service. To add insult to injury, the restaurant's proximity to a loud pub created an auditory nightmare with conflicting music—clearly, a recipe for a regrettable dining experience.

Terrible pathetic service. Called in 3 times to secure a table for myself and family at their restaurant and was told I can come right through and that it will be on a first time first serve basis. Rocked up at 10:45 to make sure I get a table when they open at 11:00. To my surprise what was available for me to sit at was a filthy shebeen downstairs with a menu with 4 items to choose from. I specifically told them that I am coming from far and bringing my family to Christmas lunch hence the 3 calls made to them, to make sure we are on the same page. Pathetic really, I haven’t been to a filthier restaurant and it’s worse that I must experience this on Christmas Day. Meal type Lunch Price per person R 250–300 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The food is absolutely divine. I was there on a Monday night, where it was a bit quieter, but still with an amazing atmosphere, though. The service was fast and on the spot. I had the Monday night burger special, and it was absolutely to die for... The meat was cooked to perfection and really juicy but not fatty, and it is a very decent sized patty. Very nice sauce on the burger. The chips are big fries. I will recommend it to anybody who wants value for money Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 150–200 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Deck Burger

I visited The Deck restaurant in Gonubie and had a disappointing experience. The prawns were dry and undercooked, lacking sauce. Surprisingly, the chicken was served cold, leaving me puzzled about the kitchen's timing. The waiter's dismissive attitude, responding with "I don't make the rules," added to the frustration. The restaurant's location across from a loud pub created a chaotic atmosphere with conflicting music, making it challenging to enjoy the meal. Overall, a subpar dining experience.

Absolutely bad service!!! Sitting at the tables inside the resturant asking the waitress twice if we can please be served, still nothing. We were there the day before and the food was great, but unfortunately also bad service. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 4 Atmosphere: 1

Very disappointed. We ordered 1/4 chicken and prawns with veggies. Chicken tasted very basic, prawns were undercooked, vegetables were overcooked. Never coming back. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 300–350 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

The perfect place to be amongst the locals in Gonubie. You can sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea. Highly recommend the seafood pizza. The staff are friendly and service was great.

Always been a home away from home for me. The food is good, the atmosphere is way better, with the view of Gonubie beach. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I usually sit in and have no problem but today I got take-out and I was surprised when I got home to charcoal spring rolls, and stone hard meatballs. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person R 150–200
