Spur is a family restaurant with a broad menu rather than one signature order. Burgers, ribs and steaks are the main anchors, but chicken, seafood, breakfast, vegetarian dishes, kids meals and desserts make it easier for a mixed group. That range also makes budgeting harder. A burger price can look reasonable until a drink and topping are added, while a steak or rib meal may already include a side.
This guide uses South African menu examples checked in September 2026. The clearest current anchors are R119.90 for an Original Spur Burger, about R185 for a 200g rump, about R215 for 400g pork ribs, and R75.90 for a kids beef cheese burger with chips. Promotions and restaurant formats can differ. Use these prices to plan, then confirm the menu at the actual Spur you will visit.
Quick Spur price guide
| Menu item | Price example | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Original Spur Burger | R119.90 | Regular adult burger example |
| Grilled Chicken Burger | R119.90 | Chicken burger example |
| 200g Rump Steak | About R185 | Check current branch amount |
| 300g Rump Steak | About R245 | Larger steak example |
| 400g Pork Ribs | About R215 | Smaller rib portion example |
| 600g Pork Ribs | About R295 | Larger rib portion example |

These prices do not describe a complete table. Drinks, starters, sauces, desserts and tip can add a substantial amount. A family of four should total each main and drink, then add only the shared extras they genuinely want. Promotions need their own day, time and order-channel check.
How to read the Spur menu
Start with the category that brought you to Spur. If you want a burger, compare single burgers and toppings. If you want steak, choose cut and weight before sauce. For ribs, compare the portion weight. For a group, decide whether everyone wants their own main or whether a starter will be shared. This order of decisions keeps the menu manageable.
Spur states that visuals are descriptive and portion weights are raw weights. A photograph is useful for recognising a dish, but it does not guarantee the exact appearance or cooked weight. The written menu description matters more. Ask whether a side is included and which choices are available.
Restaurant format can affect the menu. A standard suburban branch, airport restaurant, Halaal location or drive-through may not have an identical range. Select the location before relying on one item. The guide is a national planning reference rather than a promise for every branch.
Burgers: the clearest mid-range main
The Original Spur Burger is listed at R119.90 in current menu examples. It is the useful base for comparing the burger section. A Grilled Chicken Burger is also R119.90 in a checked current example. Cheese, bacon, sauces and premium builds move the price upward. Decide which topping you want before looking at the largest burger.
Broader menu examples place a cheese burger around R135 and bacon-and-cheese around R155, although local updates can change those figures. A cheese add-on is listed at R16.90 and bacon at R29.90 in current price references. An Original Burger with both extras would calculate to R166.70 if those add-on prices apply. Compare that with a named burger that already includes them.
Burgers are generally served with a side on the standard menu, but confirm the current choice. Chips are familiar; vegetables, baked potato or salad may be available. A side swap can affect price. If the burger is part of a promotion with a drink, read the promotion description rather than assuming the regular burger always includes one.
The current burger promotion example
An Eazy Mondays example offers an Original Spur Burger or half chicken schnitzel with a 350ml soda for R99.90, subject to current conditions. This is lower than the R119.90 regular burger example and includes a named drink. The promotion should be treated as a day-specific deal, not the everyday burger price.
Check whether the offer is active, which restaurants participate and whether it applies to dine-in, collection or another channel. A promotional photograph may show extras that are not included. Ask whether the normal side comes with the burger under the deal.
If you are visiting on another day, budget from the regular menu. A promotion is useful when it matches your schedule and food choice. It is not a reason to mislabel the normal menu price for the rest of the week.
Steak: cut, weight and sauce
A 200g rump is about R185 in the reviewed guide, while a 300g rump is about R245. The R60 difference represents an extra 100g before cooking in those examples. Choose the larger size when steak is the focus and your appetite supports it. If you plan a starter or dessert, the smaller portion may be enough.
Steak prices change by cut. Sirloin, fillet and T-bone should not be compared only by weight because tenderness, bone and flavour differ. A premium build such as Rump & Marrow Bones was listed at R254.90 in a current example. Ask how the steak is served and what side comes with it.
Sauces are often extra. Cheese, pepper and mushroom sauce examples are R29.90. A 200g rump at R185 plus sauce gives an example R214.90 food subtotal. A 300g rump plus sauce is R274.90. Add a drink and tip to understand the likely full spend.
How to order steak well
Choose the cooking level clearly. Steak continues to cook slightly after leaving the grill, and preferences differ. If you are particular, state it when ordering. A sauce can cover the meat, so ask for it on the side if you want to taste the steak first.
Check the side. Fries, vegetables, salad or baked potato affect how filling the meal feels. If onion rings are not included, a checked extra example is R34.90. Adding sauce and onion rings to a R185 rump would create a R249.80 food subtotal before a drink.
Raw portion weights become lower after cooking, as Spur notes. This is normal. Compare menu weights with one another, not with the cooked plate on a home scale. If a portion appears wrong, ask the restaurant politely rather than relying on visual estimation.
Ribs: compare weight before price
Current guide examples place 400g pork ribs around R215 and 600g around R295. The larger portion costs about R80 more for another 200g in those examples. Choose by appetite and whether you are adding starters. Ribs include bone weight, so the number is not all edible meat.
Ribs are basted and can be messy, which is part of the appeal for many diners. Ask about the basting if you prefer a particular level of sweetness or spice. If an ingredient matters for an allergy, request the current information. A glaze can contain ingredients that are not obvious from the word “ribs.”
A rib-and-wing combo around R325 and rib-and-burger combo around R355 appear in broader current guide examples. These provide variety rather than maximum rib weight. If you came specifically for ribs, a dedicated portion may suit you better. If you want to taste two items, a combo can avoid ordering two full mains.
Chicken, wings and schnitzels
Chicken choices range from burgers and wings to schnitzels and grilled plates. A Grilled Chicken Burger is R119.90 in a current menu example. Broader guide examples put Chicken Schnitzel around R155 and a cheese version around R175. These are planning figures; verify the current branch menu.
Wings can be a starter or a main component. Current starter examples put Buffalo Wings around R95, while larger combos cost more. Check the number of wings and sauce. Sharing wings before a large steak or rib meal can create more food than the table needs.
Schnitzel is crumbed and usually served with sides and sauce options. A half schnitzel appears in the R99.90 Monday promotional example with a 350ml soda. That offer has conditions. For an ordinary-day order, use the regular menu price and read what is included.
Starters and sharing plates
Current examples include Cheesy Garlic Roll around R55, Chicken Wings around R89, Buffalo Wings around R95, Calamari Strips around R95 and Nachos around R115. The exact current price can vary. A starter for each person can add more to the table than one shared item.
For two diners, choose one starter if both want it and still plan full mains. For four, two different starters can provide variety. Ask how large the nachos or wings are. A starter described for sharing is different from a small individual portion.
Calculate the total before ordering. Two R95 starters add R190 to the food bill. If the group is considering dessert, it may prefer one starter now and something sweet later. The menu offers many categories; the table does not need an item from every one.
Seafood at Spur
Broader current menu examples list Hake & Chips around R155, Calamari & Chips around R195 and a seafood platter around R245. Spur is known for grills, but seafood gives a group another direction. Verify current availability, especially at a smaller branch.
Ask whether hake is grilled or fried and which sauce is included. A fried dish contains batter and may use shared equipment. Calamari texture and preparation differ from hake. A platter can combine seafood types, which matters for shellfish allergies.
Do not use a seafood price from another country or an old PDF for a South African branch. The restaurant menu in front of you decides the current amount. If seafood is the main reason for visiting, call ahead to confirm the item is available.
Plant-based and vegetarian choices
Spur advertises plant-based menu choices alongside its grills. A plant-based burger appears around R135 in broader current examples, and a veggie schnitzel around R145. Recipe and branch availability can change. Ask whether the bun, sauce and side meet your dietary requirement.
“Plant-based” describes the item formulation but does not guarantee an allergen-free or separately prepared kitchen. Shared grills and fryers can matter. A vegetarian diner may be comfortable with dairy or egg while a vegan diner is not. State the requirement clearly.
A plant-based burger should be compared with other full mains, not with a side salad. Check whether the standard side is included. If you add cheese or another topping, confirm it fits the diet you intended.
Kids menu and family value
A kids beef cheese burger with chips is listed at R75.90 in a current example. Broader examples place kids chicken strips around R65 and kids ribs around R75, but the live kids menu should be checked. A Birthday Combo example at R136.90 combines a kids meal, drink, soft serve and party box. It is a bundle with more components than the standard meal.
Compare the complete kids order. A R75.90 burger plus separate drink and dessert can approach a bundle price. If the child does not want dessert or a party box, the basic meal may still be better. Portion and age matter more than the biggest bundle.
Spur is popular for family meals because adults can order grills while children have a dedicated menu. That does not make every family order inexpensive. Add adult drinks, kids drinks, starters and tip before deciding on the budget.
Breakfast on the wider Spur menu
The current Unreal Breakfast promotion is R62.90 until 11am under its terms. Cheese Griller Breakfast is R99.90 and Trailblazer R134.90 in current examples. These figures belong to the breakfast period and should not be mixed with lunch promotions.
A R42.90 Americano with Cheese Griller Breakfast gives an example total of R142.80. Two Unreal Breakfasts with two Americanos give R211.60. Breakfast can therefore be a lower-cost Spur visit than steak or ribs, especially when the promotion is available.
Check the dedicated breakfast guide for the full comparison. The main point here is timing: if you want breakfast, arrive within the branch's breakfast hours. The lunch menu may replace some items later in the day.
Desserts and the last part of the bill
Broader current examples place ice cream and sauce around R55, chocolate brownie around R75, Bar-One Sundae around R85 and cheesecake around R95. Availability and names change. Desserts can add R110 to R190 for two people before coffee.
If the main is large, consider sharing dessert. Ask about nuts and other allergens. Ice cream, sauces, cake bases and garnishes can contain dairy, egg, wheat or nuts. Spur's menu warning that desserts may contain nuts should be taken seriously when an allergy is involved.
Order dessert after the mains rather than deciding everything at once. Appetite is easier to judge then. This also gives you a chance to see the current display or hear which desserts are available.
Drinks and sauces
A 350ml soda is around R34.90 in a current price example. Hot drink examples include Americano R42.90 and cappuccino R47.90. Alcoholic drink prices depend on the branch menu and age restrictions. Add drinks to the budget for every diner; four individual drinks can cost as much as another main.
Sauces at around R29.90 each can also change the bill. Ask what already comes with the dish. A named Cheddamelt item may include its sauce, while a plain steak may not. Ordering an extra sauce that duplicates the plate is unnecessary.
Water is a reasonable choice when you want the food to carry the meal. For a celebration, drinks may be part of the occasion. The point is to count them, not to avoid them automatically.
Planning a meal for two
Two Original Spur Burgers at R119.90 give an example food subtotal of R239.80. Add two R34.90 sodas and it becomes R309.60 before extras and tip. A current Monday promotion may reduce the price when its conditions are met, but do not use that figure for another day.
Two 200g rump steaks at about R185 give a R370 food subtotal. Add two sauces at R29.90 and two sodas at R34.90, and the example becomes R499.60 before tip. A starter or dessert can move it beyond R600. This is why a steak date costs more than the headline R185 suggests.
One burger and one 400g rib portion give an example R334.90 food subtotal. It suits diners with different preferences. There is no need for both people to order the same category; use the broad menu to fit each appetite.
Planning a family meal
For two adults and two children, start with two adult mains and two kids meals. Two Original Burgers at R119.90 and two kids burgers at R75.90 give an example food subtotal of R391.60. Drinks, dessert and tip remain separate. A shared starter can add R55 to R115 or more.
If one adult orders steak and another ribs, the subtotal rises. A R185 rump, R215 ribs and two R75.90 kids meals give an example R551.80 before drinks. This is a more realistic planning number than the cheapest item on the menu.
Use promotions only when the family wants the included food. A Monday burger deal can lower the adult total, while a birthday combo can simplify the child's order. Check day, age and product conditions before relying on either.
Delivery, takeaway and dine-in
Spur is designed as a sit-down family restaurant, but many branches offer ordering and delivery. Delivery menu prices and fees can differ. A steak or ribs can travel, yet chips and onion rings may soften. If food quality matters more than convenience, dine-in or prompt collection can be better.
For takeaway, check containers and extras before leaving. Sauces should be present, drinks sealed and kids items complete. For delivery, review the final basket, address and estimated time. A menu subtotal is not the final charge when platform fees apply.
Promotions can be limited to a channel. The R99.90 Monday example should be checked in the way you plan to order. Do not assume a dine-in deal will appear on a delivery platform.
Allergens and dietary questions
Burger buns, crumbed chicken, schnitzels and fried items can contain wheat. Cheese and creamy sauces contain dairy. Eggs, soy, nuts and other allergens may appear in sauces and desserts. Shared kitchens create contact risk. Ask the branch for current allergen information.
Removing cheese does not automatically make a burger dairy-free if the sauce or bun contains another dairy ingredient. Ordering grilled food does not guarantee separation from allergens. Tell staff what must be avoided and let them check.
Children's allergies need the same care as adult orders. Lucky packets and party elements do not change food safety. Confirm the meal itself before focusing on the extras.
How to compare value
Compare like with like. A R119.90 burger with a side is different from a R99.90 promotional burger and soda with day conditions. A 200g steak and 400g ribs have different edible yields. A kids meal and birthday combo include different components.
Use the complete basket. Add sauce, drink, starter and dessert. For a family, compare the same four diners across options. A promotion that forces somebody to order food they do not want is not genuine value.
Portion fit matters. A 600g rib plate can be better value per gram, but it is wasteful when the diner only wants 400g. A regular burger can be more satisfying than an expensive combo filled with unwanted toppings.

The practical way to order
Choose the main category first, then portion, side and sauce. Add drinks after the food total is clear. For a family, count each adult and child meal before adding shared starters. Check promotion conditions and branch format.
The older article used imported prices without enough scope. This version replaces them with dated examples and explains where uncertainty remains. Confirm the final menu at the restaurant and review the bill before paying. That gives you a reliable decision even after prices change again.
