The Rustic Puka Shack - Benoni

If you need a break from the busy city life, then go to the rustic temple. When you enter the premises, you will have a wonderful feeling that you are located on a beach on a lagoon. The walkway of wood, which represents a bridge. Your eyes are then led to a white washed seating area with fishermen's net on the ceiling and wood forces around the circumference cuts the city away and gives you a feeling of a resort. Please note that there is sand on the ground, so it is highly recommended to wear takkies or even take off your shoes and socks and really enjoy the feeling of beach sand between your toes. Let's break it a bit now The Rustic Shack is the bar On the lagoon and the food is made by Braai la._ Waai. These are two separate companies and you get 2 separate invoices as they work hand in hand, you get a waiter who only drinks orders and another who does food orders. There are a number of alcoholic beverages from wine, beer and custom cocktails. The smell of burning wood awakens the spirit in which the chefs prepare their meals for adorning wood. There is room at the first table for a wheelchair and there is preparation for access to the toilets for mobility challenged people to access the toilets. The appetizers and food are prepared by chefs who are proud of their work. The Braai Broodjie has a bunch of flavors and it is crisp with onions to give it that “ South African Braai “ taste. Order your meat from rarely made too good. The noodle salad is crisp and light with a hint of Cayenne. The worms are traditionally prepared with hints of coriander and cloves. Weekends brings live bands to the venue. The background music has a footstep to him and only enough to keep food conversations with friends and family. A waterfall cascading from a zinc plate into a beach pond, drowns our city and brings a rest to the venue. Credit card and debit card accepted. The Gautrain bus stops right opposite the store. All in all a delightful evening

A jewel of a beach bar in Kempton Park. Fantastic mood and service while drinking your cocktails with your feet in the sand. Amazing and unique cocktails and shooters #beachvibes.

So very glad to have found this lovely place to unwind at without having to leave the city. Such a welcoming setting with soft beach sand, hearty local and classic hit music, a bonfire and friendly staff. It felt more like a mini holiday than a restaurant visit. The food was traditional braai, which is delicious and the prices are more than reasonable. We will be back!

Love it. Imagine a crazy day at work in Joburg, then you stumble into this place. Take your shoes off and walk across the beach sand. Sit at your table, with the cool sand on your feet and the sound of running water. Suddenly you feel like you are on holiday. Yes please. Awesome. Friendly service, lovely vibe.

Great venue for a casual meal. Beach sand so don't over dress. Flops are in in order. great vibe and friendly staff. Meals and drinks are very well priced. Actually do not want to share this venue as I love it, but that would be selfish.
