I believe this was supposed to be south African cuisine although I'd say it's predominantly American. They did have their take on Durban curry but it's mainly burgers/sandwiches, quesadillas, potato skins, etc. Don't get me wrong, the pastrami sandwich was the best I've ever had, the veggie burger was good but the patty I believe was rice based which is a little odd to me. They were out of lamb, brisket, some sauces, and a few beers. The one and only woman working (besides the cook) at the time of my visit appeared to be the bartender, the waitress, and the manager. She was fast and friendly. You can tell this place survives on its regulars, bar patrons, and I'm sure half the reason they come is for her. I'd say this place is meant for a group gathering looking for beers and bar food. Overall, would not recommend for families with children (at least during the day) or date night.
This was my second visit. Tonight for dinner I had the Schnitzel. I found the mushroom gravy had too much Pepper for me, a little spicy oh, other than that everything was good. Our waitress did a great job handling our large group.
I really like the Springbok. The staff is very friendly and I don't think I have ever seen a server just sitting around — they constantly check in on people and get going. This is great! The food is also great, considering it's a pub. They have a decent amount of South African dishes and also many classic American pub favorites like wings and mac n cheese and other things too. I highly recommend trivia nights which are always busy, friendly, and a lot of fun (although not free). The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because I feel the menu could use some more options for vegetables, but it's a pub so I would imagine most people are not exactly looking for that. Perhaps I'm being unfair?
Try: Chicken livers with the South African goop.
