"Pity the barman in the back got such a attitude..... food was good... To get a drink from the back bar and pay cash was a issue for the barman, he gave the waitress a really hard time I thought he was a boss, what a rude man, so sorry for the waitress she is trying her best"

"The Best Spot in the Moot – Incredible Food, Coldest Beer, and Amazing Specials! Franco’s is our go-to spot in the Moot, and for good reason. The food is consistently fantastic, whether we’re enjoying a sit-down meal or ordering their delicious Sunday lunch for takeaway. Their menu has something for everyone—tender ribs, perfectly cooked steaks, mouthwatering pizzas, and their spinach, which is a standout every time. The beer here is the coldest in Pretoria—no competition! And the prices are super reasonable, especially with their daily specials. From juicy burgers at just R65 to steak with a side for only R85, the value is unbeatable. They also have incredible drinks specials, like double vodka and mix for R50 or shooters for R18. You’ll never miss out on these deals if you join their WhatsApp group, where they share daily specials and updates. The vibe at Franco’s is unmatched. Their quiz nights and bingo evenings are so much fun, making it the perfect place for a night out with friends or family. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. If you’re looking for a place with great food, unbeatable specials, and a lively atmosphere, Franco’s is the place to be. Highly recommended—you’ll love it as much as we do!"

"This is me and Tanya my wife's favorite spot on a weekly basis, just of the simple reason that it is so affordable, like super affordable and the quality food & drinks you get is always on the same standard. The staff look after you and there's always local friends you bump into accidentally and then it's a hell of a good time."
