Fat Cake City is a South African fast-food chain built around vetkoek, burgers, filled fat cakes, fish, chips and family deals. This guide uses current Fat Cake City Meyerton delivery prices reviewed on 29 September 2026. Mountainview prices appear in separate labelled sections to show how branches can differ.
Meyerton is the primary price scope. Delivery platforms can charge more than collection, and each franchise may set its own amounts and availability. Check the branch name and final basket before paying.

Chicken and Fish Burgers share the lowest price. Chicken Fillet and Hamburger follow, while Crunchy Chicken adds a crisp coating. Bacon, cheese, Hawaiian, rib and mushroom versions remain in the middle of the range.
Steak Burger combines a patty and sliced steak. Dagwood, Monster and Blondie add several layers of meat, cheese and egg. These larger burgers are designed for a bigger appetite and can be messy during delivery, so unpack them carefully.
Meyerton specials prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| Cheeseburger & Chips | R74 |
| Hamburger & Chips | R78 |
| Dagwood & Chips | R106 |
| Blondie & Chips | R120 |
| 4 Hamburgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R333 |
| 4 Crunchy Burgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R352 |
| 4 Cheeseburgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R352 |
| 4 Rib Burgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R399 |
The cheapest complete special is Cheeseburger and Chips at R74. Hamburger and Chips costs R78. Dagwood and Blondie meals are higher because the burgers contain more fillings.
Family deals include four burgers, large chips and Pepsi 2L. Hamburger provides the lowest family total, while rib burgers are highest. Compare the burger types rather than assuming every four-person deal offers the same quantity of meat.
Mountainview sandwiches prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| Tuna Mayo | R38 |
| Chicken Mayo | R44.99 |
| Bacon | R48.99 |
| Bacon & Cheese | R56.99 |
| Bacon & Egg | R58.99 |
| Chicken Mayo & Bacon | R59.99 |
| Bacon, Cheese & Egg | R64.99 |
The Mountainview list provides a useful branch comparison. Tuna Mayo begins at R38 and Chicken Mayo at R44.99. Bacon combinations rise as cheese, egg or chicken are added.
These prices do not apply automatically to Meyerton. A sandwich is usually lighter than a stacked vetkoek burger. Ask whether it uses bread or a fat cake at the selected branch and whether any side is included.
Mountainview wraps prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| Chicken Wrap | R63.99 |
| Beef Wrap | R69.99 |
Chicken Wrap costs R63.99 and Beef Wrap R69.99 in the reviewed Mountainview listing. The R6 difference is small, so protein preference matters more than price.
Wraps can be easier to handle than a layered burger and may contain more fresh garnish. Ask for sauce separately if delivery time is long. Confirm ingredients for dairy, egg or gluten concerns.
Mountainview chef specials prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| Curry Mince | R45.99 |
| Chicken Prego | R52.99 |
| Chicken Stir Fry | R56 |
| Bunny Chow | R60.99 |
| Bacon, Chicken & Mayo with Chips | R69.99 |
| Beef Stir Fry | R70.99 |
| Calamari & Chips | R79.99 |
| Grilled Fish, Chips & Salad | R84.99 |
| Dagwood & Chips | R124.99 |
| Ribs & Regular Chips | R144.99 |
| Family Ribs & Chips | R299.99 |
Chef specials cover mince-filled vetkoek, prego, stir fry, bunny chow, seafood and ribs. Curry Mince is the lowest price, while family ribs are the highest. Grilled Fish with chips and salad provides a less fried fish choice.
These meals vary greatly in size. A filled vetkoek is one-person street food, while family ribs are intended for sharing. Read the weight and included sides before comparing value.
Mountainview sides prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| Small Vetkoek | R5 |
| Medium Vetkoek | R11 |
| Large Vetkoek | R15.50 |
| Potato Salad | R29.09 |
| Greek Salad | R29.99 |
| Coleslaw | R29.99 |
| Large Frankfurter | R32.99 |
| Large Chips | R99.99 |
| Family Chips | R139.99 |
Plain vetkoek begins at R5, making it the lowest-cost menu item. Salads sit near R30. Large and family chips cost much more because they are intended for several people.
Choose the chip size after counting diners and checking what the meal already includes. One family portion can be more practical than several small portions, but only when the group will finish it.
Mountainview family deals prices
| Item | Delivery price |
|---|---|
| 4 Chicken Burgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R284.99 |
| 4 Boerie Burgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R294.99 |
| 4 Cheeseburgers, Large Chips & Pepsi 2L | R299.99 |
| 2 Fish, 2 Russians & Large Chips | R199.99 |
| 5 Russians, 5 Viennas & Large Chips | R199.99 |
Mountainview family burger deals sit near R285-R300, which is lower than the reviewed Meyerton family range. This difference proves why the branch scope matters.
Deals with fish, Russians or Viennas provide alternatives to four burgers. Check the number and size of every component. A lower price is not better value if the selected proteins do not suit the group.
What is vetkoek
Vetkoek is fried dough with a crisp outside and a soft interior. Fat Cake City uses it as a bun or fills it with mince, meat, egg, cheese and other ingredients. The result is heavier and richer than a standard bread roll.
Plain vetkoek can be eaten with savoury or sweet filling. A filled burger combines the dough with meat and sauce, so portion size matters. First-time customers may prefer a basic hamburger before moving to a Monster or Blondie.
Choosing a basic burger
Choose Chicken Burger or Fish Burger for the lowest Meyerton price. Hamburger provides the classic beef-patty choice. Cheeseburger adds cheese for R7 more than Hamburger, while Bacon Burger costs R61.
A basic burger can be enough for a light meal. Add chips only when needed. The R74 Cheeseburger and Chips special is a better comparison than buying the R64 burger and estimating a separate side.
Choosing a stacked burger
Dagwood, Monster and Blondie contain several fillings and suit a large appetite. Monster includes patty, steak, ham, cheese, egg and salad. Steak Burger provides some of that meat combination at a lower price.
Stacked burgers can be difficult to share evenly. Two basic burgers may give two diners clearer portions. Check whether large burger names refer to bun size, number of patties or toppings at the chosen branch.
Burger meal value
A burger meal is valuable when chips were already part of the plan. At Meyerton, Cheeseburger and Chips costs R74, only R10 above the burger. Hamburger and Chips adds R21 to the plain burger price.
Do not compare the two meals only by the burger price because chip portions may differ. Confirm whether a drink is included. Family deals include a 2-litre Pepsi, while individual specials in the reviewed list do not.
Family deal maths
The R333 hamburger deal works out to R83.25 per person when divided among four, before fees. The two R352 deals equal R88 per person. Rib burger deal at R399 equals R99.75 per person.
These simple divisions assume four equal eaters and equal shares of chips and drink. A family with young children may have leftovers, while four hungry adults may need more chips. Use the price per person as a guide, then judge actual appetite.
Ordering for two
Two Cheeseburger and Chips specials would cost R148 at Meyerton before fees. Two plain hamburgers cost R114, leaving room to choose a shared side. A Dagwood and Chips plus one basic burger may suit diners with unequal appetites.
Avoid ordering a four-person deal only because its price per burger looks attractive. Leftover fried dough and chips lose quality. Buy the amount that will be eaten while fresh.
Ordering for children
A basic chicken burger, fish burger or small plain vetkoek may suit a child better than a stacked burger. Mountainview also lists cheesy viennas with chips as a child-friendly choice, but availability at Meyerton requires confirmation.
Choose mild sauces and keep them separate. Cut food into manageable pieces and watch hot fillings. A 2-litre family drink should be portioned by an adult rather than placed at the child's seat.
Fish and chips choices
Fat Cake City branches often carry hake, calamari, fish meals and chips. Mountainview lists grilled fish with salad, two-fish meals and four-fish sharing options. Meyerton availability may differ from the branch examples.
Ask whether fish is fried or grilled, whether tartare sauce is included and how many pieces come in the order. Seafood allergies require direct branch guidance, especially where fryers are shared.
Russians, viennas and grillers
Russians and viennas are common quick-meal proteins at Fat Cake City. They may be sold alone, in rolls or with chips. Cheese grillers add dairy and a richer filling. Branches use different sizes and bundle counts.
Compare a meal by count, sausage size and chips, not the product name alone. For a group deal, verify whether sausages are small, regular or large. Ask about pork or beef when religious or dietary requirements matter.
Sandwich versus vetkoek
A toasted bread sandwich is usually lighter than a vetkoek filled with the same ingredients. Vetkoek adds fried dough, creating a richer and more filling meal. Some branch listings use the word sandwich for fillings placed inside a fat cake, so clarify the base.
Chicken mayo, bacon and egg are familiar breakfast or lunch fillings. Sauce and hot fillings can soften the dough during travel. Collection or a short delivery route gives better texture.
Prego, mince and bunny chow
Curry mince and savoury mince are traditional fillings that work well inside vetkoek. Prego adds spiced chicken or beef, while bunny chow uses a curry-style filling. Stir-fry versions add sliced meat and vegetables.
Ask about heat before ordering for children or cautious diners. Curry can soak into the dough quickly, so eat it soon. Anyone avoiding gluten should remember that the vetkoek itself is wheat-based unless the branch confirms otherwise.
Branch price differences
Meyerton and Mountainview show meaningful price differences. A Cheeseburger is R64 at Meyerton and R62.99 at Mountainview, while family deals vary by much more. Local costs, portion specifications and delivery channels influence the total.
Always select the branch serving the address. Do not call one branch to dispute another branch's platform price. Compare collection and delivery from the same location for a fair decision.
Delivery fees and promotions
The food subtotal is only one part of a delivery bill. Service, delivery and small-order fees may apply. A discount can reduce selected items but still leave a higher final total than collection.
Build the intended basket first, then apply a promotion. Avoid adding unwanted food merely to reach a threshold. Check whether a family deal already includes the drink and chips before adding duplicates.
Collection and takeaway
Collection reduces waiting after the driver pickup and can preserve crispness. Arrive near the estimated time, check the branch address and inspect the order before leaving. Count burgers, chips, drinks and paid extras.
Keep bags upright because sauces and filled vetkoek can leak. Separate cold drinks from hot food. Open chip packaging briefly at home if steam has softened the chips.
Allergy questions
Fat Cake City kitchens handle wheat, egg, dairy, fish, meat and sauces in shared spaces. Vetkoek contains common baking ingredients, burgers use sauces, and cheese products contain dairy. Shared fryers create cross-contact concerns.
A menu name cannot confirm allergy safety. Contact the exact branch, explain the medical need and ask about ingredients and equipment. If the branch cannot give a clear answer, choose a safer option elsewhere.
Vegetarian ordering
Plain vetkoek, chips and salads may suit some vegetarian diners, while branch menus can include cheese or vegetable fillings. Confirm that sauces, frying oil and preparation meet the diner's requirements.
A meal of plain vetkoek and chips is filling but limited in vegetables and protein. Add salad where available. Vegan diners should verify dough ingredients and cross-contact rather than assuming plain means vegan.
Keeping food fresh
Vetkoek and chips are best eaten soon after cooking. Trapped steam softens fried surfaces. Unpack immediately, keep sauces separate and avoid sealing hot leftovers until they have cooled safely.
Refrigerate meat, mayonnaise and fish promptly. Reheat leftovers thoroughly in a suitable container. Fried food may not recover its original texture, which is another reason to order the correct amount.
Ways to spend less
Use a burger-and-chips special when both parts are wanted. Choose basic burgers instead of stacked versions when extra fillings do not matter. Split a family deal only among enough people to finish it.
Compare branch collection prices with delivery. Water or drinks at home can reduce the basket. A plain vetkoek with an existing home filling may be the lowest-cost choice, although availability varies.
Frequently asked questions
At Meyerton, Hamburger costs R57, Cheeseburger R64, Crunchy Chicken R60 and Dagwood R90 in the reviewed delivery menu. Cheeseburger and Chips costs R74. Four-hamburger family deal with chips and Pepsi 2L costs R333.
Prices differ by branch. Mountainview lists plain vetkoek from R5 and family burger deals from R284.99. Verify the live branch before ordering.
Final ordering advice
Choose the branch first and decide whether the meal is one burger, a burger special or a family deal. Compare included chips and drinks. For stacked burgers, check fillings so that every ingredient is wanted.
Review the final basket and delivery fees before paying. The current branch checkout is the best place to confirm the final price and availability.
Comparing chicken burgers
Meyerton lists a basic Chicken Burger at R48, Chicken Fillet Burger at R53 and Crunchy Chicken Burger at R60. The basic product uses a formed patty, the fillet version uses a piece of chicken, and the crunchy version adds a crumbed coating.
The fillet costs only R5 more than the basic burger, while crunchy adds another R7. Choose by texture and meat preference. A crunchy coating loses crispness faster during delivery, so collection may give a better result. Ask which sauce comes standard.
Comparing beef burgers
Hamburger at R57 is the baseline beef option. Cheeseburger adds R7, Bacon Burger adds R4, and Hawaiian Burger costs the same as Cheeseburger. Cheese Mushroom and Rib Burger each cost R66.
Steak Burger at R73 combines sliced steak with a patty, making it a more substantial step up. Egg Cheeseburger is also R73. Customers wanting one clear flavour may prefer a simple burger, while mixed-meat versions suit a larger appetite.
Choosing chips size
Individual burger specials include a portion of chips, while family deals include large chips. Mountainview separately lists large and family chips at R99.99 and R139.99. Sizes and prices can differ at Meyerton.
Count how many meals already include chips before adding a shared portion. Four burger meals with individual chips may provide more than a four-burger deal with one large portion. Ask about approximate serving size if the group considers chips essential.
Balancing a heavy meal
Vetkoek, patties, cheese and chips make a rich meal. Add Greek salad, coleslaw or potato salad when available to bring freshness or a cooler texture. A salad does not make the whole order light, but it can provide variety.
Choose one rich extra rather than several. For example, a Monster Burger may not need separate Russians or a cheese griller. Eat slowly and stop when full. Leftovers can be refrigerated, but fresh vetkoek gives the best texture.
Breakfast-style fillings
Egg, bacon, cheese, ham and syrup fillings make fat cakes suitable for breakfast as well as lunch. Mountainview sandwich prices show how the total rises as ingredients are combined. Bacon, Cheese and Egg is the highest listed sandwich.
A simple Egg or Bacon filling may be enough early in the day. Ask whether the branch uses a standard sandwich or vetkoek base. Customers ordering for work should label sweet and savoury items because the packages can look similar.
Planning an office order
Collect each person's branch-specific item, sauce choice and drink before checkout. Use exact menu names to separate Chicken Burger, Chicken Fillet and Crunchy Chicken. Group similar products but keep a name list for distribution.
Large office orders take longer and can cool during transport. Schedule ahead, choose one delivery address and have someone ready at reception. Check the number of bags and 2-litre drinks before the driver leaves.
Planning a party order
Four-burger deals provide a simple base for a small gathering. For eight people, two deals give eight burgers, two large chips and two large drinks. The total depends on burger type and may be cheaper at one branch than another.
Ask guests about beef, chicken, fish, pork and heat preferences. One deal with all the same burgers is inconvenient when tastes differ. Add sausages or fish only when the group will eat them. Provide plates and napkins because filled vetkoek can drip.
Reading delivery descriptions
Delivery descriptions may contain spelling differences, abbreviated weights or repeated products. Read the ingredient list and portion count rather than relying on the photograph. Images can be illustrative and may show extras that are not included.
If a required choice is unclear, contact the branch before payment. Keep a screenshot of the final basket for resolving missing items. The charged receipt is stronger evidence than an old menu image.
Food safety for large orders
Receive hot food promptly and avoid leaving meat, mayonnaise or fish at room temperature for a long event. Serve what will be eaten and refrigerate the rest in shallow, clean containers. Keep salads cold until needed.
Reheat cooked meat until properly hot. Do not reheat the same portion repeatedly. Discard food with an unusual smell, texture or temperature history. Children, older adults and pregnant guests need particular care with leftovers.
A clear ordering checklist
Confirm the exact branch, collection or delivery channel, burger base, protein, sauce and included sides. Check whether the selected special already contains chips or a drink. For family deals, verify burger count, chip size and beverage size.
Before payment, review quantities and fees. On arrival, count every burger and side, then match special fillings to the right diner. This short checklist prevents most ordering mistakes and protects the budget.
Checking current availability
A listed item can sell out when a branch runs short of fish, steak, avocado or a particular sausage. Delivery apps may also hide products outside their service period. Choose a substitute only after comparing its fillings and price.
For a large family or office order, call the serving branch before checkout when possible. Confirm that the quantity can be prepared together and ask for a realistic collection or delivery time. This reduces last-minute cancellations and mixed substitutions.
