Thunder Gun Steakhouse, a Johannesburg institution since 1968, is celebrated for its legendary ribs, juicy steaks, and old-school charm. With its Western saloon-inspired interiors and a menu that hasn’t strayed far from its roots, it offers a nostalgic yet hearty dining experience. Famous for its secret basting sauce and generous portions—like the 1kg pork ribs—Thunder Gun remains a favourite for families, sports fans, and anyone craving classic comfort food. Whether you're enjoying the cosy pub, the lively dining room, or the enclosed terrace, expect warm service and timeless flavours that keep generations coming back.
