"The Fat Olive Country Restaurant provides an ideal family entertainment destination suitable for all occasions. Situated on the banks of a natural irrigation dam with expansive views of the distant Magaliesberg Mountains, the restaurant lends itself to enjoying the outdoors, birdlife and the resident wildlife. It is common to see the Zebra family wonder up in the evening for drink or watch the blesbok herd thunder past. With over 100 species of birds recorded on the property, you are sure to spot a heron, king fisher or even a fish eagle from your table."

Reviews
I have been here 3 times already with my Hubby enjoyed it every time and decided to bring my Mom for the very first time. This time I was a little disappointed to see the place quite untidy and not neat like usual. My Mom and I had to move chairs around so that we could sit at a table and the table was also not very clean. Menus are absolutely terrible, very dirty and need replacing. Food was not as good as it was the other times we were there. My patty was also still raw and my Mom’s mince she had with her flapjacks was drenched in oil so she could not eat it finish. Staff is friendly as always and bathrooms very clean. Still a pretty place to go and relax and I am sure these small things will be corrected.
The place has two restaurants for day visitors. Also has a play area for kids. Boat paddling in their small dam. Their dam has a bridge over it, if lucky you can see the fish This might be a weird compliment but wow their Restrooms/toilets were super clean like that of some hotel, big up!
Lovely family restaurant Great for kids of all ages-play area Very busy Lots of parking space Food takes forever to arrive,order the moment you have a seat Platters are good,great for get-togethers,catch-ups BOOK IN ADVANCE!
What a beautiful setting. Such a pretty restaurant. Didn't really experience the restaurant food as we were in the lodge and cooked for ourselves. Service from the waiters and staff was awesomeFood: 4/5
The Fat Olive has a beautiful view of the dam, which provides a relaxing and scenic experience. There is a beautiful bridge to walk over, in which you can look over and see some fish in the water. A very beautiful and romantic spot. The staff aren't very friendly and accommodating which made it an unpleasant experience. The food is very overpriced for the quantity and quality of food you get. The service is also very slow. The bathroom is well maintained, with a cute basket that provides paper towels to dry your hands, but there is no toilet paper dispenser/holder and the toilet roll sits on the floor waiting for use.
A nice location to drive out to for a child’s birthday or something where you’d like benches and a marquee from the Beach club for a more festive day out or a more South African thatch style sit down at The Fat Olive. However, manage your expectations with the menu. Unfortunately found the meals over priced for the quality and sometimes not completely accurate in description. For example, a chicken Caesar salad arrived more like a Cajun chicken salad and not as fresh as what you’d like from a Caesar salad. The burger is also something a bit too generic and left something to be desired for a unique destination such as this. If they reviewed their menu and dishes I think this spot could do much better, especially for being a destination venue. But if you’re looking for something with a simple menu with food and drinks and a nice outside area for your kids with a view of the little lake, it can be a relaxed afternoon on a weekend.
Great service, great prices, delcious food with filling portions. Booking is essential. You can enjoy the whole day here as the place accommodates the whole family. Kids can play on the paddle boats while you enjoy your drinks from the beach bar just across the restaurant. Great atmosphere with live music.
We were referred to my booked table and waited a long time. On the right, all staff were standing around but no waiter came to introduce themselves or give us menus. I had to ask a waiter; who gave no apology. It was 11.30am and very quiet. I didn't give 1 star as the food was good. We ordered cheesecake and it was a frozen slab that indicated nothing of the description in the menu. Their food menu also changed and good items removed. Mostly beef or pork available, less chicken and no lamb. I complained about the cheesecake. Overall disappointing service!!! We will never be returning here. Many amazing restaurants out there with more options and better service!
Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience here. The place looks very nice and the atmosphere is essentially also good. On father's day they had a set menu which was too big for us, but they found us a place in the back. This was still fine. We ordered and then didn't see the waiter for almost an hour. When we asked when we could expect the food, they served it dumping it on the table, there was no cutlery yet and they were off again. All the good was cold and all waiters ran off again. We simply wanted something small and waiting for over an hour in total only to get cold food was a bit too much and we gave up. When trying to pay only for the drinks that we managed to get, we still had to wait because the staff didn't seem to know how to handle payments. Perhaps it is better on non father's days, but we won't be back.
I would love to give them 4 stars but the quality of the food has declined since August last year. The oxtail was great, fillet mignon was good, T-bone was rare instead of the requested medium rare and the eisbein had to be sent back as there was no crackling on the outside whatsoever. The kids loved their burgers.
