Dockside Cafe Harties

I've said it before ... and will say it again .... chips to die for!!!!! I don't know their recipe ... don't really care - but it's fresh, crisp outside and soft inside ... absolutely delicious! Yesterday for brunch Hein Pretorius enjoyed a Farmhouse breakfast - I just wanted chips! The view over the dam is just great - it makes you feel like you're on holiday .... well worth the visit!! 19/6/2021 Sat in the sun, gazed over the Hartbeespoort Dam. Hein had the Bacon and Cheese burger delicious and I had the starter of Firecracker Squid and chips. Squid was soft and tender and those chips ... worth the drive!!!! 2/2021 Their resident female kitty, Storm, enjoyed our attention. After a disastrous Benedict at Culinary Table don't know what that sauce was, but it defo wasn't Hollandaise, I decided to be brave and order it here. What a delight! Sauce was fantastic! Hein had a Boerie breakfast - great start to any day. And their chips ... oh their chips!!!!

Many options on menu Pizza, pasta, hamburgers, steak and others. Lovely view. Great spot to meet away from the city. Note it is in a security estate

Decent food, good service and a beautiful view over the dam. Well recommended.

Situated in an Estate on the banks of Hartbeespoort dam this was an absolute surprise. Beautiful setting and the foods tasty and ample. This was for sure the best pepersaus I have ever had The staff are friendly and inviting. Well done to all staff and management.

Great place ! Lovely view of the dam and boat moor. Whilst you overlook the pool and kids area which is great so you can keep an eye on your little peeps while they're playing and your relaxing. The owner is SUCH a nice guy!Food: 5/5

Went here for a relaxing afternoon of drinks and talking with some friends - the atmosphere was perfect. We never went inside though, but were still greeted by a waitress on arrival. Can't comment on the main course meals, but the desserts were good. Drinks pricing varied a bit, but was good otherwise. The view was naturally excellent and relaxed. The locals and other visitors were also pleasant additions to the atmosphere. The accèss controlled estate gives some peace of mind for vehicle safety in an area that is otherwise rife with loiterers. Definitely intend to visit again.

The inside of the restaurant isn't pleasant, at least outside you can enjoy the view of the dam. Food wasn't nice at all, we had the Lamb curry. If you know your curry or Stew, you definitely won't enjoy this one. We couldn't finish it honestly. The service from the guy serving us was goodFood: 2/5

Wooooooow!!!! Firstly what a beautiful place, interior, outside is breathtaking, there's a place for kids to swim and play. Food well cooked, well presented. I had Dockside Delight cocktail . Staff very welcoming!!!! My friend wasn't feeling well and a guy with dreadlocks came to check if we were fine and offered her nice cold water, without being called. Sorry I didn't get his name. Food is very affordable at low cost. It's right next to Magalies Boat cruise area... Kid-friendliness: There's a place to play and a swimming pool. Parking: Lots of Parking and it's clean.

The food is amazing and the portion are good and filling

A lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. Whilst we experienced a mix up with the order and unfortunately some slow service, the food more than made up for it with generous, tasty portions. I will be more than happy to return and give the front of house a chance to show their mettle. All in all, well worth the visit. So Friday the 24th January, we went back to celebrate my wife's birthday but this time for dinner, not lunch. Well what an awesome visit! Angelina, our Waitress, was absolutely awesome and the food once again generous in serving size and as tasty as you can expect. You showed us your mettle Dockside and as they say in the classics : I'll be back!
