I had the most amazing experience here with my friend. The atmosphere and service was remarkable. The food was so filling, I couldn’t even finish it no matter how hard I tried.

My experience at Walnut Grove was truly delightful, marked by a charming ambiance and an incredibly welcoming staff. Godfrey, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we felt attended to, delivering service that was both prompt and attentive. Impressively, my meal arrived within about 10 minutes of placing my order. I chose a delicious chicken prego roll, which had a satisfying blend of flavors that I would rate a 7/10. The roll was perfectly fresh, and the chicken was tender and savory, complemented by a zesty sauce that elevated the dish. I can confidently say that Walnut Grove is a fantastic venue for group breakfasts or leisurely lunches, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.

Having been here before I knew what to expect, a pleasant experience, which was had. Came on a weekend and the mall was packed but was lucky to find a table for lunch. The entire deco is spot on, love the over hanging lights. The food was exceptional. I must admit, prices where a bit on the higher side but I guess you're paying for great service and food. I'll give them an overall rating of 9/10.

Old favourite. No matter how busy they are, they always get the service right. Good sized portions for mains. MASSIVE sized portions of cake for desert (and such a selection of delicious varieties), amongst other choices. Reasonably priced for Sandton City. Cleanest bathrooms in the shopping centre BTW. Walnut Grove has been in existence as long as I can remember. The decor and menu has evolved with the times. Highly recommended for a shopping break.
