THIS PLACE BROUGHT THE HEAT! S.A. food is supposed to be spicy, but I was afraid this place might try to water it down, to appease the American palate. Thankfully not. SA food is a mix of European, African, and Indian flavors, representing its mix of populations. This restaurant did justice to all of them, with dishes ranging from from fish & chips to Indian curry and samosas. I tried samosas and peri peri chicken today. Peri peri was just ok, but samosas knocked it out of the park. Indian-approved! LA needs more restaurants/bars like this to showcase the lesser-known cultures and nationalities that call LA home! read more

Great neighborhood bar/ grill The grub is really good, the cheddar broccoli chicken soup is BOMB!!! Good reeb selection too! read more

A nice bar and restaurant. They have a pool table right when you walk in as well as a dart board. Small area where both the table and board is but it does stay utilized. Most of the times I've been it's always where everyone congregate at. Like the main hub. Bar area is decent size. They have a section where it's like a restaurant and where most of the people would use when there's a big group. Also good for when they have sports on. Outside patio is decent size with a good amount of seating. There's also a television on the patio. So wherever you are, you'll have some kind sports on. It's a neighborhood bar and restaurant which seems to tends to the locals. Everyone seems to know each other. Bartender is alway lovely and sweet. Food wise, we mainly stick to the fires and onion rings. Once in a while a meal. But majority of time is stopping by for a drink or two and winding down. The crowds have alway been pretty cool. People there hanging out, playing pool and darts. Chill place thats good for a drink or two. read more

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the outdoor area is becoming quite popular. The wings are still one of my favorites, and the Jefferson never misses. We had not ordered the chips and salsa for a while, the in-house salsa is so good! And spicy. The service is always great even when they are very busy. I enjoy the selection of beer on tap, and the samosas are a great appetizer to share read more

I went to try the peri peri chicken. It was not as spicy as I expected, but the waitress explained since I had not been there before, the kitchen took the heat down a little. Nonetheless, it was very tasty and I could barely finish the plate which also consisted of excellent french fries and salad with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of pickles and savory. With a SA draft beer a very pleasent experience. I will be back to try the boerewars, but I might be seduced into having another go at the excellent chicken. The bar atmosphere was just right, and lots of sports on multiple TV's. read more

Jeanette.... thank you for the great service and the shower! You're Awesome! Had a great lunch at the springbox today. Service was awesome! Bartender got it done! Food was good as well. If you're in town come on down.... Get your grub on! read more

This place gets a solid 10/10 for me. I am super impressed. First off, service was great. Our server was super attentive and welcoming. They have a nice large outside patio and a lot of tvs so wherever you're sitting you are not missing out on whatever game you're watching. Drinks were fairly priced and made well. Food was top notch though! They have a huge menu with so much variety, literally something for everyone. You cannot go wrong here! Cannot wait to try more items but so far the brisket bbq sandwich has been my favorite, so good. Seriously just as good as if you went to a bbq restaurant. 10/10! read more

1st... the Staff is great, the Food is tasty and fresh. Trivia Tuesday with Sarah is always a night of fun for all that play.

I am a teacher that is retiring. My coworkers threw me a party at Springbok. They reserved some tables for us. The waitresses were great. The food was great. I recommend this sports bar for sure. They have plenty of TVs for sports and a pool table if you like to play. Highly recommend this place read more

The food is OK. The drinks are as ordered. The true gem of the place was our waiter, Jordan. On top of everything. No waiting. He was excellent! read more

This place is awesome to watch World Cup soccer fights etc awesome place food's not too bad either I lived..lol

Had an awesome time celebrating my boss's retirement celebration. Used the outside patio for a group of 10 and it worked just right.

Went to Springbok Bar & Grill for the first time yesterday and plan to return soon. It's a "crossroads of the world's" kind of place. Our food was delicious, and our server's special care made our visit even more excellent. Thank you Sarah! read more

Still one of our favorites. Great atmosphere, great food, great service and reasonable prices. Old school charm wins every time.

An experience that ended up being better than expected! This is a casual, old-school bar and restaurant, that gave me vibes of being back on the east coast...but with African food! Bartenders were friendly, drink prices reasonable, and food was tasty! Will definitely be back! read more

food was terrible and I was treated bad--- and they were unreasonable. I've had other places treat me 1000 times better.

Wonderful food, the chicken schnitzel was great. The service is excellent, perfect even, the location is charming with a beautiful interior. read more

I would pass by this place so many times over the years as I'd go to the Van Nuys golf course driving range and it never crossed my mind to stop by to get a meal here until my friend took me here to have lunch last week. One thing is for certain, it's a no frills type of place that's dedicated to providing a laid back atmosphere for watching sports and having a meal and there's a wide selection of alcoholic beverages to choose from if you're looking to having drinks with your meal or just want to sit at the bar and have drinks while watching the game. My friend ordered the Springbok Burger which, according to him, is what he always get when he dines here. I opted to get the grilled pastrami sandwich which was delicious! I would have liked to have gotten the sandwich with a beer and I think it would have been a great pairing but since I was going to be driving back to Hollywood in rush hour traffic, I decided to hold off. Next time I'll come to get a meal and drink before hitting up the driving range. Anyway, when you come here, make sure you've got a big appetite and a lot of space in your stomach because they don't skimp on the portions! read more

Springbok Bar & Grill - Jefferson's Philly Cheese Steak with fries and salad, YUM! - Sports Bars Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Fun ambiance for a bar-grill place, with great music and people having fun at the bar, watching games of darts or the big screen. Service is great with lovely and cheerful waitresses. The Food is ok; leaves more to be desired. The fish tacos were served plain with no cabbage, cole slaw, not any vegetables, just 3 tiny pieces of fried fish on open tiny tortillas. I asked for sauce, which came 15 minutes later (when I was on my last bite). On the menu, they have Samosas, with the option of beef or vegetable. Each time we come, we ask for the vegetable Samosas, and the server informs us that we don't have this in our kitchen, "but it's still on the menu." The worst of it all was that the establishment adds 20% for Tips to the bill. We thought that was outrageous, leaving us no option but to pay this enormous amount for food that was averaged at best. read more

Years ago I would come here regularly and everything about it was great. Came back for the first time in a while and service was terrible. There were probably only 8 guests in the whole restaurant and our waitress was largely absent. Once we ordered, she would bring out a single food item and ask if we were all good, and we'd have to remind her of everything else we had ordered. She'd come back 5 minutes later with one more single item and ask if that was all, and again we'd remind her of what our whole order had been. Very odd. By the time she finally assembled our entire food order, she moved on to drinks, so our last drink arrived long after our final food item had. read more

Came on a Monday around 11:30AM . The first time I came to Springbok about 20 years ago, though I had not been to Sprinbok in several years. I used to visit somewhat regularly in the past. Mostly after work but occasionally thursday nights with friends. Not because I do not like them, but once I moved further north, Springbok was too far to visit after work. Seems they have been doing just fine over the years. I came with my friend who is a regular (when he walked in all of the other patrons knew him). Evidently he doesn't usually come on Mondays because while the staff knew him by name, they were surprised to see him. haha. Our server (breanna i think) assisted. I ordered the Lamb Curry. This was my favorite dish in the past, 2nd to the fish and chips. Quite solid with a kick and overall very good My friend ordered wings & two long islands. His usual order. If you enjoy long islands, would totally recommend. Disclaimer - they are strong ! haha. They do offer a discount if you pay by CASH instead of card. Just a FYI. read more

Cool spot! Stopped by for a bite to eat and a beer. Before the evening rush they have a good vibe and friendly staff. The chicken sandwich was way better than I expected from a bar. (Restaurant worthy) Outdoor and indoor seating with a large bar and a few games to hangout with. The dart players love Donna summer but it was a vibe lol "Love to love you baby!" ‍ Stop by and check it out yourself!! Worth the drop in for a bite and a beer! Good price on happy hour too read more

Springbok has one of THE BEST BURGERS I have ever had. Can't wait to visit again! Good service. Casual vibe. Super cool space in the valley! read more

Catching up on my reviews. Stopped in for some of their fish and chips. You definitely get your money's worth in here. Their menu has some very intriguing selections which I'll check out on my next visit. My waitress Jasmine was great. Kudos to her, she was extremely patient with a table that had 3 children sitting there. Will definitely be back. read more

Jeanette is the best of us. The food is always on point. The bar is surprisingly affordable. But go for Jeanette.

Nice Sports Bar/Restaurant Atmosphere to Watch Games... We Came During Linch Hours after Golf .. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and A Friend Had The Pastrami Sandwich... Both Were Big Proportions and Tasty... it Was Nice Because People Were Actually There in the Bar/Restaurant.. Staff Was Friendly .. So, I Recommend It Maybe After Golfing The Sepulveda Basin Courses .. or If You Just Want to Watch Sports after Work read more

I would highly recommend Springbok for anyone who's in the valley and is curious to try South African cuisine. The boerwors roll and springbok fries were absolute fire. Sure, it's a little pricey but it's worth it because the staff are super nice and attentive and the service is fairly quick. I also thought the theming of the restaurant was pretty cool with the sports tv and the pool table. read more

FYI They charge 20% if your tab is over $100 do watch out or you'll double tip! The food is good but it's a dive bar and people are vulgar at times so don't bring your kids here!!! read more

It is like a dive bar tho, you could feel like you re in Texas or Austin. there is a dinning room, pool table, even DJs for a dance floor for locals. It is very strange middle of Van Nuys and so many Latinos dudes or beautiful Latino girls ready to mingle. Go for it if you re around. There is regulars and they are nice peeps. You gonna get the Texans vibe for sure. It is kind weird place tho. Maybe Mex-Tex-Cali type. read more
