Spur Menu Prices in South Africa

Spur Steak Ranches is the closest South Africa has to a national institution when it comes to family dining. Founded in Cape Town in 1967 by Allen Ambor, it now runs more than 500 restaurants across the country, built around flame-grilled steaks, ribs, burgers and a salad bar that’s practically part of the brand’s identity. Unlike most of the chains on this site, Spur is a full sit-down restaurant, not a counter-service takeaway, so portions and pricing sit a step above the quick-service names. We’ve started with the steaks, since they’re what Spur built its name on.

Spur Steak Prices

Steak is the reason Spur built its reputation. Rump, sirloin and fillet are all available in two sizes, with fillet the priciest cut on the standard steak list.

Steak200g300g
Chargrilled RumpR129.90R159.90
New York SirloinR129.90R159.90
FilletR169.90R214.90

Which Spur steak is actually the best value?

Run the steak table out per 100g and the ranking shifts. A 200g Chargrilled Rump or New York Sirloin at R129.90 works out to R64.95 per 100g. The 300g version at R159.90 drops to R53.30 per 100g. The upgrade itself costs you R30 for that extra 100g, which is well under what you were already paying per 100g on the smaller plate, so the 300g is the better buy for anyone who was going to order rump or sirloin anyway.

Fillet follows the same pattern but from a higher base. At R169.90 the 200g is R84.95 per 100g, and the R214.90 300g comes down to R71.63. In cash terms fillet carries a R40 premium over rump at 200g and a R55 premium at 300g.

Verdict: the 300g Chargrilled Rump at R159.90 is the value pick of this table. The 200g fillet is the weakest rand-per-gram on the section at R84.95 per 100g, so if fillet is what you want, order the 300g and pay the R45 step-up.

Spur Speciality Steak Prices

These take the same cuts and top them with Spur’s signature sauces and toppings, cheddamelt, bacon and cheesy garlic, or grilled prawns.

Cheddamelt SteakR156.90R192.90
Bacon & Cheesy Garlic Sauce SteakR162.90R199.90
Cheesy Garlic Prawn SteakR166.90R204.90
Legends RangePrice
Lazy Aged Steak, 500gR214.90
Spur T-Bone Steak, 350gR174.90
Spur T-Bone Steak, 500gR224.90

Are the Cheddamelt and speciality steaks worth the upcharge?

The toppings are priced as a premium over the plain cut. Cheddamelt adds R27 at 200g and R33 at 300g. Bacon & Cheesy Garlic Sauce adds R33 and R40. Cheesy Garlic Prawn adds R37 and R45.

There is a quirk worth knowing here: the topping costs more on the bigger steak, even though the sauce or prawn portion is the part you are actually paying extra for. If a Cheddamelt is what you are after, ordering it on the 200g is the cheaper route to the same topping.

The counterintuitive bit is the Legends range, which looks like the most expensive section on the menu and is in fact where the rand-per-gram is best. The Lazy Aged Steak at 500g for R214.90 works out to R42.98 per 100g, the lowest of any steak on the Spur menu and comfortably better than the 300g rump at R53.30. The 500g Spur T-Bone at R224.90 is R44.98 per 100g against R49.97 for the 350g. One caveat: T-bone weights include the bone, so the edible yield is lower than the Lazy Aged at the same listed weight.

Spur Ribs, Grills & Combo Prices

Spur’s ribs are slow-cooked and basted in the chain’s own barbecue sauce, and the combo range mixes ribs, chicken and wings into a single plate at a fixed price.

Warrior ComboR239.90
T-Bone & Quarter ChickenR222.90
T-Bone & Buffalo WingsR239.90

Spur combo meals: which ones actually save you money?

Ribs first. The 400g portion at R159.90 is R39.98 per 100g and the 600g at R219.90 is R36.65, with the step up costing R60 for 200g, or R30 per 100g. Lamb Chops at R239.90 for 400g are R59.98 per 100g, making them the priciest grill on the section by weight.

The combos are worth checking against their parts. T-Bone & Quarter Chicken at R222.90 replaces a 350g T-Bone (R174.90) plus a Quarter Chicken (R69.90), which would cost R244.80 ordered separately. That is R21.90 saved, the biggest genuine discount in the combo table. Ribs & Chicken at R219.90 against 400g ribs (R159.90) plus a Quarter Chicken (R69.90) at R229.80 saves R9.90.

At the other end, the Warrior Combo at R239.90 is the most expensive line in the table, and the Apache and Mohawk Combos both sit at the R186.90 entry point. Verdict: combos earn their place when they pair a steak or a rib rack with chicken, where the saving is real money. The wing-based pairings are priced close enough to their parts that you may as well order what you actually want.

Veggie SchnitzelR89.90

The half chicken is the best-value main on the Spur menu

A Quarter Chicken is R69.90 and a Half Chicken is R99.90. Two quarters would cost R139.80, so ordering the half instead saves R39.90 for the same amount of bird. That is just under a 29% discount for stepping up one size, and it is the sharpest single step anywhere on the Spur menu.

The jump from half to full is nowhere near as generous. A Full Spatchcock Chicken at R189.90 against two halves at R199.80 saves only R9.90, so the full bird is really about getting it on one plate rather than saving money.

On the schnitzels, going from half to full costs R40 on the plain Chicken Schnitzel (R94.90 to R134.90) and R50 on the Cheddamelt (R106.90 to R156.90). The Cheesy Garlic Prawn Schnitzel at R169.90 tops the section. The Veggie Schnitzel at R89.90 is the cheapest full-size main here, and one of only two plant-based mains on the menu.

Spur Burger Prices

Every burger on the standard list is also available as a double patty for a set upcharge, so this table pairs the two side by side.

Crumbed Veggie BurgerR78.90N/A
Beyond BurgerR136.90N/A

Spur burgers: the patty upgrade worth taking and the one to skip

The Original Spur Burger is R86.90 as a single and R104.90 as a double. That is R18 for an entire extra beef patty, the cheapest patty in the building. The Rib Burger starts at the same R86.90 but its double costs R129.90, which is R43 for the identical upgrade. Same base price, more than double the marginal cost.

The rest of the range is priced predictably. Cheese adds R10 over the Original. The Bacon & Cheese Burger at R109.90 doubles for R25 more, the Cheddamelt at R114.90 doubles for R20, and the Avo & Feta and Bacon, Cheese & Guacamole burgers both add R25 to double at R144.90.

On the plant-based side, the Crumbed Veggie Burger at R78.90 is the cheapest burger on the menu and the Beyond Burger at R136.90 is the most expensive, a R50 premium over the Original Spur Burger. The Grilled Chicken Burger is only listed as a R94.90 double.

Verdict: the double Original Spur Burger at R104.90 is the best rand-per-patty on the section. If the Rib Burger is what you want, order the single and put the R43 towards a side.

Starters and sides: where the salad bar changes the maths

The Portuguese Garlic Roll at R18.90 is the cheapest thing you can add to a table, and the cheese version at R26.90 is a flat R8 more. On the salads, the side portions are the ones to note: a Garden Salad is R39.90 as a side against R69.90 for the full, and a Greek Salad is R49.90 against R94.90. A full Greek Salad is priced within R5 of a Half Chicken, so if you are ordering a main anyway, take the side portion and use the salad bar.

On the sarmies: Tangy Cheese & Tomato at R52.90 is the cheapest, the two Roast Chicken Mayo versions sit at R56.90, and adding cheese to the Bacon & Egg costs R8 (R58.90 to R66.90). That R8 cheese step reappears in the breakfast section below, which makes it one of the few genuinely consistent upcharges on the Spur menu.

Spur specials Breakfast Prices

Spur’s breakfast runs on a choice of pork sausage or boerewors across most of the cooked options, and the Unreal Breakfast is the cheapest cooked plate on the entire menu.

Trailblazer Breakfast, WorsR95.90
Ranch Breakfast, Pork SausageR119.90
Steak, Egg & ChipsR119.90
Ranch Breakfast, WorsR127.90

Spur breakfast and the R8 wors rule

The Unreal Breakfast and Avo on Toast both come in at R44.90, which makes them the joint-cheapest hot items on the entire Spur menu, cheaper than any burger, steak or schnitzel.

The boerewors upgrade is a flat R8 wherever it appears. Carb-Conscious goes R69.90 to R77.90, Trailblazer goes R87.90 to R95.90, and Ranch goes R119.90 to R127.90. So if you prefer wors to pork sausage it costs you the same R8 regardless of which plate you pick, and you can choose on the food rather than the price.

One line worth flagging: Steak, Egg & Chips at R119.90 is priced identically to the pork-sausage Ranch Breakfast. If you were deciding between the two big breakfasts, the steak plate is the better plate for the same money. In the middle of the range, the Kickstarter is R64.90 and Spicy Chicken Livers on Toast is R50.90.

Half or full waffle?

The Classic Waffle is R34.90 as a half and R46.90 as a full, so doubling the portion costs R12. The Bar-One, Oreo and Kit Kat waffles all go R39.90 to R52.90, a R13 step. In every case the full waffle is the better rand-per-waffle, and the half only makes sense if you genuinely want less rather than cheaper.

The same half-and-full logic runs through the dessert table, where Ice Cream & Chocolate Sauce is R31.90 or R42.90 and the Malva Pudding half is R36.90.

On drinks: a standard milkshake is R39.90 and the Bar-One, Oreo and Kit Kat versions are R46.90, a flat R7 premium for the branded flavours. A single espresso is R23.90, which puts Spur below most sit-down coffee shops but above the fast-food chains.

Spur Kids’ Menu Prices

Value note on the kids’ menu: the Ice-cream Cone at R10.90 is the cheapest item on the entire Spur menu. Mac & Cheese at R32.90, Fish Fingers at R42.90 and Crumbed Chicken Strips at R49.90 all come in below every adult main, and because the kids’ menu includes salad bar access and Spur runs its long-standing birthday deal, this is the strongest value block on the menu for families.

The Original Spur Burger and the Chargrilled Rump are the two items most associated with the brand. The Cheddamelt Schnitzel has built its own following as a menu classic in its own right. For families, the Ranch Breakfast is a go-to weekend order, and the Bar-One Milkshake is the most requested drink on the menu.

Spur Trading Hours

Spur restaurants generally trade longer hours than the quick-service chains, given its sit-down format. Most branches open early for breakfast and stay open through dinner service.
