Muck and Bean

We had lunch yesterday at Mugg & Bean in The Garden Shop Nursery in Broadacres Mall, Fourways.

Nice setting, and friendly staff on entering, but some of the food was a let down even considering the menu has been severely trimmed in recent times.

A cheese burger ordered was absolutely lackluster. A dark brown bun with lettuce, tomato, a slice of completely tasteless cheese and a patty so hard and condensed that I struggled to cut the burger in two. It had an awful "processed" taste, definitely not made in-house. No sauce, just those dry ingredients on a bun. Come one people I can do far better at home!

The pastrami bagel wasn't too bad with lovely crispy onion rings on the plate, but the bagel was rock hard and dark brown....maybe these rolls and bagels were being reheated in the oven over and over? Definitely not fresh. The fried Halloumi cheese was a generous portion and nice.

We told the young, quite inexperienced waiter that most of the food wasn't too great and he returned to say the manager would come and see us. Well the manager sauntered past several times and didn't even look our way, he was more interested in helping the musician bring his equipment indoors.

NEVER AGAIN will we eat here and judging by the reviews and lack of response on this site by the franchise, it is clear you don't care. You are going downhill fast
