Steers has two useful ways to do breakfast in South Africa. You can take a small egg bun or pita on the move, or sit down to a plate with eggs, bacon, toast and, on several meals, chips. Those are different purchases. A R29.90 bun can solve a rushed morning, while a R73.90 Day Breaker Deluxe is intended as a full cooked meal.
This guide uses price examples visible on Steers South Africa's public breakfast and sit-down menus in September 2026. A branch, delivery platform, Halaal menu or promotion may differ. Prices below are for the stated menu formats, so check the selected restaurant and final basket before paying. The older page gave general hours for the whole brand; operating hours need to be checked branch by branch.

The quick menu also lists toasted sandwiches and hot drinks, while the sit-down menu has a wider group of plated breakfasts. A table of low prices is helpful only when it tells you what you get. The sections below compare the ingredients and the total cost after a drink or extra.
Begin with your morning, not the price list
If you have five minutes and one free hand, a bun is easier than a breakfast plate. If you will sit at a table, the Real Breakfast or an omelette gives you eggs and toast without trying to balance a wrapped meal. If you need something larger, look at the plates that add chips, wors or a beef patty.
The menu shows several items with similar prices and very different ingredients. A R39.90 beef patty bun is portable. A R40.90 Good Morning Breakfast is a small cooked plate with egg, bacon, tomato and toast. The R1 gap does not make them substitutes for everyone. Your schedule and appetite decide which is useful.
Choose the restaurant location first when ordering online. A sit-down restaurant and a small takeaway counter may not display every format. If you are driving specifically for a plated breakfast, check the branch's hours and menu before leaving.
Breakfast buns from R19.90
The Egg Breakfast Bun is R19.90 on the checked quick menu. It is the simplest way into the range. The Bacon & Egg Bun is R29.90. Bacon, Egg & Cheese is R34.90, as is Bacon, Cheese, Egg & Tomato. The Beef Patty, Bacon & Egg Bun is R39.90.
The R10 step from egg alone to bacon and egg is easy to understand. Cheese adds R5 when comparing the R29.90 bacon-and-egg bun with the R34.90 bacon, egg and cheese option. The tomato version costs the same as the other R34.90 bun, so choose by whether you want tomato in the mix.
The beef patty bun is R5 above the R34.90 options. Its patty makes it closer to a breakfast burger than an egg snack. Do not assume every bun includes cheese. Read the precise product name and description, especially when ordering for more than one person.
What a breakfast bun can and cannot do
A bun is useful for a commute, a short stop or a modest appetite. It may be easier to finish without a table than eggs on a plate. It is also easier to split: one person can order the basic bun while another adds bacon or a patty.
It is less useful when you expect chips, grilled tomato and a full plate. Those belong to specific larger meals. A photograph can show a bun next to other food for presentation; the written product description controls what is included.
If you add a drink, compare the combined cost with a sit-down breakfast. A R29.90 Bacon & Egg Bun with the quick-menu R12.90 black coffee totals R42.80. That is slightly above the R40.90 Good Morning food price, although the latter still needs its own drink. Compare complete baskets, not just one line.
Breakfast pitas
The quick menu lists a Cheese, Tomato & Egg Pita at R29.90, a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Pita at R39.90, and a Beef Patty, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Pita at R59.90. The pita changes the bread format and, at the top of this group, adds a beef patty.
The R29.90 cheese and tomato pita can suit someone who wants to avoid the listed bacon. That does not establish vegetarian preparation or freedom from meat contact; ask the branch if either matters. The R39.90 version brings bacon, while the R59.90 version adds the patty.
A pita can be easier to hold than an open breakfast plate, though fillings and sauces can still spill. The large patty version is R20 above the bacon, egg and cheese pita. Buy it when the extra beef is what you want, rather than assuming a higher price always means a better deal.
Toasted sandwiches for breakfast
Steers' quick breakfast menu also lists Cheese & Tomato Toasted at R19.90; Bacon & Egg Toasted and Bacon, Cheese & Tomato Toasted at R29.90 each; Beef Patty & Cheese Toasted at R39.90; Dagwood Toasted at R49.90; and Dagwood & Chips at R59.90.
The R10 difference between Dagwood alone and Dagwood with chips is clear on that menu. The same distinction may not apply to every toasted sandwich. A separate product page lists Bacon & Egg Toasted with chips at R39.90, compared with R29.90 for the sandwich alone. Read the selected item's options.
Toasted bread is best eaten while still crisp. If you collect it and drive for a long time, steam can soften the sandwich. If the morning journey is long, a bun may travel better. At a sit-down branch, you can eat the toastie fresh and avoid that problem.
Good Morning, Real Breakfast and Day Breaker
The Good Morning Breakfast costs R40.90 on the checked sit-down menu. It has one egg, one bacon rasher, grilled tomato and toast. It is a plated alternative to a breakfast bun, with the ingredients laid out separately. It suits a diner who wants a small cooked breakfast and time to sit down.
The Real Breakfast is R50.90. It doubles the eggs and bacon compared with Good Morning while keeping grilled tomato and toast. The extra R10 can make sense when one egg and one bacon rasher would be too little. For two people, one of each costs R91.80 before drinks.
Day Breaker Deluxe is R73.90. It has two eggs, two bacon rashers, small chips, grilled tomato and toast. Compared with Real Breakfast, it adds small chips for a R23 difference in the checked menu. If you want chips, that may be the simplest complete order. If you are likely to leave them, the Real Breakfast is a clearer fit.
Classic Egg on Toast and French Toast
Classic Egg on Toast is R29.90 on the sit-down menu. It has two eggs, each on toast, with grilled tomato. It is one of the straightforward options when you want eggs and bread without bacon. Confirm whether the cooking method can be adjusted when ordering.
French Toast is R49.90. The menu describes French toast with two eggs, two bacon rashers and grilled tomato. It is a more substantial breakfast than the name alone might suggest. If you expected only sweet bread, read the current plate description before ordering.
These two options illustrate why a price table without ingredients is weak. Classic Egg on Toast is R20 less than French Toast, but the latter includes bacon and a different bread preparation. Choose the one that matches your breakfast mood and dietary needs.
Cheese Omelette and its extras
The R44.90 Cheese Omelette is made with two eggs and a cheese slice, served with grilled tomato and toast on the checked sit-down menu. It is a useful middle ground between a small egg plate and a large bacon breakfast. The cheese matters if dairy is a concern.
The menu lists two bacon slices for R30, a cheese slice for R15 and a tomato slice for R5 as omelette top-ups. Bacon would take the example omelette to R74.90. At that point, compare it with the R73.90 Day Breaker Deluxe, which already has two bacon rashers and chips but is a different style of breakfast.
An extra cheese slice would bring the omelette to R59.90. Buying extras can be worthwhile when you specifically want an omelette with more filling. It is less useful when the final custom plate resembles a standard item you could have ordered more simply.
Hash Brown Stack and Rise & Dine
Hash Brown Stack is R70.90. It combines two eggs, two bacon rashers, two hash browns, cheese, grilled tomato and toast. The hash browns make this plate different from Day Breaker, which uses chips. If crisp potato is the point of your breakfast, choose the form you prefer.
Rise & Dine is R80.90. It has two eggs, a 100g ground beef patty, one hash brown, cheese, grilled tomato and toast. It trades bacon and one hash brown from the Stack-style mix for beef. The R10 step reflects a different protein choice rather than simply a larger version of the same plate.
One Hash Brown Stack and one Rise & Dine total R151.80. Two Hash Brown Stacks total R141.80. A couple does not need to choose identical meals; the ten-rand difference may be worthwhile if one person specifically wants beef.
Wors, banger and cheese griller plates
Proudly Boerie is R100.90 on the sit-down menu. It contains two eggs, two bacon rashers, 120g wors, small chips, grilled tomato and toast. The named wors portion is what separates it from simpler egg-and-bacon plates. It is one of the larger verified breakfast examples.
The Banger is R80.90 and includes two eggs, a pork banger, two bacon rashers, small chips, grilled tomato and toast. Flame-Griller is also R80.90, replacing that simpler sausage combination with one pork banger and one cheese griller alongside two eggs and two bacon rashers. Read the current descriptions because the similar prices hide a different sausage mix.
Cheese Thriller is R83.90. It has two eggs, two bacon rashers, two cheese grillers, small chips, grilled tomato and toast. If you want the cheese grillers, its R3 difference over Flame-Griller may be more important than its name. If you prefer boerewors, Proudly Boerie is the relevant plate despite costing more.
Veggie Stack and dietary questions
Veggie Stack is R69.90 on the checked sit-down menu. It is described with a soya-based patty, hash brown, cheese, relish, grilled tomato and toast. The patty is plant-based, but the listed cheese means you should not assume the complete plate is vegan. Ask what can be changed and how it is prepared.
The quick menu's Cheese, Tomato & Egg Pita and the sit-down Classic Egg on Toast are other bacon-free descriptions. They include egg or dairy. If you avoid pork, meat, eggs or milk for a specific reason, read the current branch menu carefully and tell the staff what must be avoided.
Steers also shows separate Halaal breakfast options that use macon in place of the standard menu's bacon. Use the menu for the Halaal-certified location rather than treating a standard menu substitution as certification. The selected restaurant's preparation and current menu are what matter.
Hot drinks on the quick breakfast menu
The checked quick breakfast page lists a 250ml black coffee at R12.90 and white coffee at R14.90. Hot chocolate and cappuccino are R19.90 each, while a caffè latte is R20.90. These are useful for estimating a bun-and-drink stop.
An Egg Bun with black coffee totals R32.80 using those examples. A Bacon & Egg Bun with white coffee totals R44.80. A R39.90 Beef Patty, Bacon & Egg Bun with cappuccino totals R59.80. These are menu subtotals, not promises about delivery fees or branch promotions.
The sit-down page shows a different hot-drink range, including black coffee at R29.90 and cappuccino at R39.90. The two pages should not be mixed casually: they describe different restaurant formats. Check the actual restaurant's drink menu before calculating a dine-in bill.
The sit-down drink budget
At a sit-down location using the checked page, black coffee is R29.90, white coffee R29.90, espresso R24.90, tea or rooibos R24.90, and cappuccino R39.90. Larger coffees and speciality drinks cost more. The page also notes a R1 increase for decaf options.
A Real Breakfast at R50.90 plus black coffee at R29.90 gives an example R80.80 total. A Day Breaker Deluxe at R73.90 plus cappuccino at R39.90 gives R113.80. A Proudly Boerie at R100.90 plus cappuccino gives R140.80. The drink makes a material difference to a sit-down bill.
These calculations are useful for a planned visit, but the selected branch may have updated prices. Confirm the drink size too. A mega cappuccino and a standard cappuccino are separate menu items, so “coffee” is not a precise budgeting unit.
How breakfast extras change the plate
The sit-down menu says breakfast top-ups are additions to a breakfast, not standalone orders. It lists an egg, hash brown, cheese slice, and toast with jam and butter at R15 each. A cheese griller is R17, a pork banger R20, two bacon slices R30, and a 100g beef patty or 120g wors R45.
A Good Morning Breakfast with one extra egg is R55.90 using those examples, while the standard Real Breakfast is R50.90 and already adds a second bacon rasher as well. That makes the standard item a useful comparison. A Real Breakfast with a hash brown would be R65.90, below Hash Brown Stack at R70.90 but with a different potato quantity and cheese content.
Adding a beef patty to Real Breakfast creates a R95.90 food subtotal. Rise & Dine at R80.90 has beef, two eggs, hash brown and cheese but no bacon in its listed ingredients. Neither is an automatic substitute for the other; choose by the exact ingredients you want.
Breakfast for two: quick orders
Two Egg Buns total R39.80 at the quick-menu examples. Two Bacon & Egg Buns total R59.80. One R39.90 beef patty bun and one R29.90 Bacon & Egg Bun total R69.80. Drinks are additional unless a specific combo says otherwise.
For a more filling portable pair, two Bacon, Egg & Cheese Pitas cost R79.80, while two beef-patty pitas cost R119.80. That R40 difference across two people buys the patty build. If only one person wants beef, mixing one of each costs R99.80.
Once two hot drinks are added, compare the final quick order with a sit-down alternative if you have time. The aim is to match how and where you will eat, not to chase the cheapest visible line regardless of convenience.
Breakfast for two: plated orders
Two Good Morning Breakfasts cost R81.80 before drinks at the checked sit-down prices. Two Real Breakfasts cost R101.80. Two Day Breaker Deluxe plates cost R147.80. The portion rises from one egg and bacon rasher per person to a two-egg plate with chips.
One Classic Egg on Toast and one Cheese Omelette total R74.80. One Hash Brown Stack and one Proudly Boerie total R171.80. The menu supports a wide range of two-person bills because it offers genuinely different plate sizes and proteins.
Two R29.90 black coffees would add R59.80 to any of these examples. For two Real Breakfasts, that creates a R161.60 example subtotal. If the branch uses another drink price, use the actual menu rather than this calculation.
A family or group order
Four people each taking a Bacon & Egg Bun would have a R119.60 quick-menu food subtotal. Four R50.90 Real Breakfasts would total R203.60 on the sit-down page. The second order includes plates and table time, while the first is built for speed.
Mixed appetites are common in a group. Two Good Morning plates, one Real Breakfast and one Day Breaker Deluxe total R206.60. If all four take Day Breaker, the food subtotal becomes R295.60. Drinks and any extras still need to be added.
Before placing a large order, confirm that the selected location serves all the chosen items. A takeaway breakfast counter and a full sit-down restaurant can show different ranges. Label each person's meal clearly to avoid mixing similar egg-and-bacon orders.
Promotions, combos and branch availability
Product pages may display coffee or chip combinations beside a standalone breakfast item. For example, the Bacon & Egg Bun page showed the R29.90 bun and a R40.90 with-coffee option when checked. That is a particular combo price, not proof that a coffee is included in every bun order.
A promotion may have a date, time, branch or channel condition. Check the active offer in the method you intend to order. Do not use an old social-media price to calculate today's budget. The standard examples here give a useful baseline while the live branch basket decides the charge.
Some locations open early and others do not. The old article stated one set of hours as though it applied to every Steers. It does not. Use the selected restaurant's current hours and breakfast availability before making the trip.
Takeaway and delivery practicalities
Buns and pitas make sense when you need a portable breakfast. Toasted sandwiches are also simple to carry, though they can soften in a closed wrapper. A plated breakfast with eggs, chips and tomato needs more care in transit and is best eaten soon after preparation.
For collection, check the name and number of each item before leaving. Egg bun, bacon-and-egg bun and bacon, egg and cheese bun are easy to confuse in a large bag. Confirm paid add-ons such as a hash brown or drink.
For delivery, choose the right branch and inspect menu price, delivery fee, service fee and estimated arrival. A food subtotal from a public menu is not the final platform total. If a particular egg style matters, see whether the app allows a request and whether the restaurant can honour it.
Allergens and ingredient questions
Buns, pitas, toast and omelettes bring bread, eggs or cheese into different products. Sauces and patties can add ingredients that are not obvious from the product name. Ask the restaurant for current allergen information when an ingredient could cause harm.
Removing cheese from a pita does not establish that every sauce or preparation surface is dairy-free. Removing bacon does not automatically make a meal vegetarian if another meat ingredient or shared cooking surface is involved. Give staff the specific requirement rather than a broad label.
For Halaal orders, use the Halaal menu at a certified location. Product names and prices may resemble the standard menu, but the ingredient and preparation requirements are separate. Confirm the selected branch before ordering.
How to compare value fairly
Compare the same format first. Among buns, the move from egg to bacon-and-egg is R10, and the move from bacon-and-egg to beef patty, bacon and egg is another R10. Among small plates, Good Morning to Real Breakfast is R10 and adds an egg and bacon rasher.
Then compare formats according to how you will eat. A bun may be the better use of money on a short commute, even if a plated meal offers more ingredients for a similar price. A plate may be more satisfying when you have time and want a hot breakfast with toast and tomato.
Finally, add the drink and extras. A low entry price can rise quickly with coffee and top-ups. Count the complete order and decide whether the standard plate already gives you the ingredients you wanted.
