disgusting slow service
I had to think twice about buying at Steers today because i know theyre are the slowest food outlet in the mall, I work at the Pavilion Mall and enjoy Steers ribs but today decided to buy something else hoping it would be quicker than the usual 30 minute wait. A Hero roll with fries was ordered at 14:21 and just hoped they would prove me wrong. My suspisions were true, I stood up and went to ask the girl where is my order and only then did she presume to fry the potatoes! Are you kidding me? Of all the chatter those girls do there is nothing constructive that they say or do. I blame the manager as he is the one who made them like this! There was no queue I WAS LITERALY THE ONLY PERSON BUYING. I cancelled the order at 15:00 took my money and went back to work. We need to see change its clear the Pavilion Steers staff dont get the term Fast Food too well. Fed up
bad hygiene and raw burger
Disgusting service. The new steers in muizenberg at the engen is A joke. we ordered 2 King Steer combos, I received my slip to see that only 1 king steer was ordered.. I then give her my card to pay for the 2nd king steer which she failed to order after i was clear about my order the first Time. The card machine was saying processing and she kept pulling my card out and putting it back in several times, I was tempted to do it myself because she was obviously useless at her job but i kept my cool. I'm now waiting for my food and I look into the kitchen to see one of the chefs handling my burger with her bare hands not wearing any Gloves. I then ask the manager, who is wearing a hair net that is not on properly and is basically half off his head, If he could please instruct the lady handling our burgers to please put gloves on. He goes into thekitchen and asks her to put gloves on, she puts up an argument with him and after about 5 minutes she accepts to put the gloves on. Wishing I had never stepped foot into this place while i look around to see old fries lying all over the floor.. after waiting a solid 30 minutes we get asked what cool drink we would like when we had already asked for coke lights, she gives us one coke light 500ml bottle and one coke light can. I then had to explain to her that both meals are supposed to have 500ml cokes. She then stared at the menu to work out that the meals should have 500ml bottles of coke. We finally received our meals. other customers were getting impatient. Happy to Be out of that place we get home about 5 minutes after (we live in muizenberg) to find that our chips are cold so I have to warm it up in the microwave . Starving at this point I bite into my burger to see that the patty Is completely raw. I open the bun and the patty is not even in one Peice.. I lose my appetite completely and go to bed . I have never been so disappointed in a fast food Chain. Especially steers as it Is not cheap you would think you'd be getting quality. why are staff not trained Properly? I have pictures as Evidence.
Im so discipointed in steers Muizenberg. They open at 9 and ive asked my partner to stop off to get us something to eat. We were then informed that even though though they open at 9 we must wait untill 9h45 till when they are ready to serve. The service is just disgusting. To the owners of steers, your staff is messing with your income and busy running your business into the ground. If your operating time says 9am ypur staff mustn't walk in at 9. They must be ready to serve at 9 just a suggestion .
spare ribs
I bought a single rack of spare ribs with chips today 4 December 2015 at Phalaborwa Masorini Branch. There was nothing wrong with the service at that branch. What a disappointment when I got home to find 6 little ribs with hardly any meat on it (only about a table spoon of meat) and so chewy one needs to be careful not to break one's teeth. Just bone and hardly any meat. And the best of all the photographs on the menus show this huge spare rib draped on a plate that looks big enough to feed more than one mouth. This is daylight robbery at it's worst. Shame on you Steers. I will not ever buy anything from Steers again and I'll make sure my friends will be told of this.
cheesy chilli chips
I must admit that the cheesy chilly chips is one of my favourite indulgence's I always order that no matter what else I buy, But, I will that Queenstown cheesy chilly chips are the worse I travel a lot to east london and you always get a generous amount cheese with the chilly but, in Queenstown if you get more than a table spoon of cheese and chilly that looks like a goat walked over them... disgusting guys please improve or take more pride in your product... this was on the 27th of november 2015... As for a resolve to the problem im not sure i can think of one... my email [protected]@gmail.com if there is any further questions...
portia - cashier at steers evandor
Went to buy food at Steers Evandor and was served by a Portia. Extremely ruse and no form of customer service ettiquette. The take away came and we decided to sit in, she was not very impressed that we are not asking for plates. Comes the cold food and when she was asked why it's cold she just said that's the way they serve their food. No I would love to understand whats the difference between Steers Glenfair and Steers Evandor, is this then not the same brand. Mr. CEO, look at your employees, they are damaging your brand that you have been building for so long.
complaint
I am disgusted with Steers, Mountain Mill, Worcester. After ordering Wacky Wednesday, customers arriving after me got their order which way before mine but it's the same orders. After 15 minutes i asked what was wrong and got my order only after asking. When i open my order in my car 30 seconds later it was ice could. The staff at counter are friendly but the service time on the food is poor, and i think it's because the owner is helping out at the counter and keeping everything up. I was willing to forget about the poor service and cold burgers, although frustrated. But when my second burger's patty was raw, i lost it. Will never buy food at that store and not recommend anyone.
incompetent service
Placed order at steers at 18:53 after speaking to 5 dif ppl my order didnt arrive a hour layer I phoned and was told it was on the way. It arrived incorrect without the chips and ice cold. Phoned the managers who informed me she sorry and send me cold.chips again! I am appalled what is this industry coming to, I pay for the food. The ppl that answer the phone can't even speak English or understand it. How are we suppose to place orders and receive proper service with this kind of treatment?
no stock
On Sunday morning 30/11 round about 4 in the morning myself and two friends went to steer at Engen garage veldenvlei for food after a night out. We were a bit indecisive about what we wanted to eat (which might have frustrated the teller a bit - but we were never once rude). When finally deciding what we wanted we were told that there were only two pieces of chicken left and the only thing they could make with it was chicken hero rolls. That was the only thing we could have off the whole menu - nothing else. and also we were three people and could not take only two meals. We then opted for McDonalds instead. Would i go there again? No, id rather save myself the waste of time and money. Do i believe that there was no stock? Not for a minute. i think it was pure racism.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
On the 11/06/2012 Steers advertised the rib burger on special R 10.00 a burger, I got to steers @ 9:30 and was told that its sold out ... I find this unbelievable that early in the morning sold out, I then asked the manager if they had any Yes only 100 and its sold out, ... This is inacceptable because the advert had said unlimited stock
Ordered takeaways from Steers Dowerglen. The telephonist could not have sounded more disinterested if she had tried. Although the man who delivered the package was friendly and efficient, the meal was very unappetizing and left much to be desired. The chicken was tough and tasteless, and the lettuce was limp and rusty. Steers Dowerglen will not be hearing from us again.
I found a fly in a burger I was eating. i then showed it to the manager but he didn't seem to take any action about it. I let it go and the following week I bougth a milkshake there and found a strand of hair in my beverage I didn't bother to complain because the manager is neglectful
The staff at the Steers Glenugie - Pinetown Drive through do not listen to the customer. They tell you what you should be ordering. Last night I had to re-order twice and still did not get what I wanted.
Just listen to your customer and give him what he wants.

I bouht a cheese burger from the steers in Sea point main road and found toilet paper instead of the cheese.I complained but they just laughed at me.I WILL NEVER BUY STEERS AGAIN!
A Rave burger costs R12.95 - a Cheeseburger on the other hand costs R24.95. The only difference between the two is GARNISH and a VERY THIN SLICE of CHEESE. WORTH DOUBLE? I dont think so! We are getting ripped off. I will never buy from them again.
On Monday at 11:35, me and my brother ordered two good guy meals. In my chips there was a shorth black hair, and i then went to confront the lady at the till. she simply said ' O sorry bout that' . I however donot think this is good enough..
I recently ordered 3 burger combos from Steers in Sedgefield and was disgusted - the rolls were dry (no butter), no mayonnaise & the patty was dried out like it had been grilled for hours on a hot grill and then slapped on. The chips were oily and gross... will never eat there again.
The advert on TV of Steers which use woman that is nothing but pornography which is disgusting and unacceptable!
This is like the millionth complaint I have heard about a stupid R10. Borrrinnnggg... Shallow... Cheap... and !PATHETIC! complaint. Sies.

chips
My children and i bought 3 meals yesterday and i have never seen the chips made so terribly. As i actually use to be the manager of that exact same Steers, went for all the training, act. i have a rather good idea of what it should look and taste like. Jimmy please have a look at this picture below.

slow service, bad processes
Hi
I have just returned from ordering 5 cups of filter coffee at the Midstream Steers. Waited 15 minutes.
Staff took the order and filled the cups in-between taking and filling orders for other customers. No problem with this process but 2 cups of coffee stood cooling while she waited for the milk to heat up. Having filled the cups, she then proceeded at tortoise pace to search for stirrers and sugar packets. Could she not have done this while waiting for the milk/coffee to heat?
I won't return to Steers for snacks and drinks for my stafff. There are other options.
Regards from
Catherine Boshoff
uncooked burgers
We had stopped for a late lunch at Steers at Ultra City south just after Samrand off ramp and ordered 5 burgers and mikshakes. The first burger to be eaten was done rare and the management had changed it. They had apologised and said that they were using a new cooking method. My pregnant wife had the centre of the burger uncooked, my 10 year old ate a rare burger. My burger was uncooked in the centre. This was R320 wasted for a terrible meal that made us ill. Steers is not going to see us anytime soon! Please find attached picture of one of the uncooked burgers
bad customer service
I am currently Steers Seapoint, this is the worst experience I ever had in a Steers store. The person assisting me, named Nicky is so rude, unfriendly and bitter. I can't believe she is working in an environment where she assist customers. I am deeply disappointed with what I experienced tonight.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The Pineslopes franchise, owned and run by one Prenay Jumna (a fascinating piece of arrogance dressed in human skin), sometimes serves meals that are either made from ingredients that are past their sell-by date, or prepared unhygienically. I've had gyppo guts three times now shortly after eating there, and only now have I made the connection.
I won't be going there again.
i will not use Steers ever again there is no service i placed an order on line due to the fact that the Rustenburg branch gave me problems with service before thinking on line order would work out better. No such luck. I placed the order 12h57 and at 14h00 i phoned the branch and they could not help me because it was a on line order hahahaha ... When i received the order at 14h30 it was ice cold and slap chips with bacon is not nice ice cold. I was hungry thinking I will phone and pay 50% and eat the cold meal however the manager was not available at all and once again nobody could help me. I send the food back wrote a complaint to Steers and a day later nobody has contacted me to say sorry about the cold food etc. and the bad service.
I'm currently at steers in Ballito, service is very bad, i ordered a set of 4 burgers they say it comes with 4 cups of ice creams on their menus but on their system it shows I can only get 2 ice creams and management could not help either, he tells me it will take time for him to add that special on the system. He is not even sorry for inconvenience he speaks with his staff not me as a customer . His name is Sipho staff don't even know his surname. Service is really terrible., Please do something about it
Hi My name is Santa
Went to Steers Northmead Square on 6 September at 18h55. Was assisted by KUDZAI who was extremely rude. My wife is elderly and could not hear what he was mumbling. She ordered and he was asking her a question which not even I could understand.
She requested him to repeat his question and he mumbled again. I asked him to please repeat and he became rude and sarcastic.
When she had to enter her pin number she was so nervous that she omitted to press the enter button. He reached over and pressed it for her.
He looked at us if we were of a very low class.
I got upset and took a photo of his name to complain.
My wife was very upset and we did not enjoy our dinner at all. We will rather go to other burger joints to not be treated like this again.
We do pay for our food and there is no need to go through this trauma
I have just ordered 2 Steers Jalapeno Cheese Burgers and 2 large Chips from Steers Corlett Drive for delivery. Upon delivery I only received 1 Burger and 2 Chips. The chips were so bad ( brown and hard), did not look fresh @ all! Was so disappointed as this was the 2nd time it happened! After I told them I wanted fresh chips, as Steers is renowned for its chips! Next time I will definitely return the order! No use calling your call centre, as you just get cut off each and every time! If the Area Manager is interested in calling me - [protected]
I bought a 2x king steer burger which was raw so raw to that even dogs could not eat them, it tasted rubbery, I only realized it when I was like 20 KM outside Johannesburg. I wasted my R160 for raw burgers.I am really not happy about it. The cashier took the slip, their twitter is not responding what a day light robbery by Steers so unfair.
Disappointing service
Yesterday I placed an order over the phone for me and my colleagues. I received an sms confirmation of the order at 12:17. The order arrived at 14:43. I was advised it will take 45min to an hour. I called again after an hour around 13:12, Siphokazi said she will call me back to advise on how far the order is. She never called back, I called again around 13:45 and again Siphokazi promised to call me back. She called me back and advised the order is on it's way. Then we waited another hour and a couple of minutes and we told the driver we do not want the order anymore. I called the contact centre to lodge a complaint, they advised me that the Ghandi Square Manager will call which she did. The manager (Mpho) didn't apologize but asked how she can make it right. She promised us free meals and we advised her that we have already eaten for the day and we are leaving. She can deliver tomorrow. She said she will call me in the morning to find out a suitable time to deliver. Can you believe that today, I called her and she says she forgot my name cause she had lots of complaints yesterday. She DENIES promising us free meals but a discount. I said she can leave it, because she's calling us liars. I am disappointed with your service. Dealing with more than one person but still the service is just bad... from the contact centre to the store.
I visit this restaurant this morning on my way to Jhb, ordered a Bacon and Egg Breakfast Bun, soft Egg. (Take-Away) Mentioned this 3 times to the most unfriendliest cashier ever (Mngwengwe, Silindile)- when I got my order, it was not even put into a packet together with my cold drink, when I asked for it to be put into a packet, the cashier just Sighed and said jah right. Got my order, drove off, only to find out that the egg was hard, not soft has I ordered, no serviette, no salt. Absolutely terrible. Could not turn and come back. I am really disappointed .

We ordered Steers online last night. At 18h03 I received a message that my order is being prepared. At 19h39 I phoned to find out when they will deliver - the lady said that they don't deliver in our area due to a gun threat one of their delivery people had encountered previously. This was not communicated to us at all so if I did not phone to find out about the order, we would still be waiting. This is unacceptable! When I told the lady it is not acceptable, she couldn't care less. What poor service!
I lodged a complaint with regard to the above. I received a call from the Store Manager who promised to resolve the matter. He asked me what I wanted out of this whole situation and i indicated that I wanted an apology. A few minutes later I received a call from the cashier who still had a stinking attitude telling me that I was lying and that she is sorry but it sounded as if she was going through the motions and not really sorry. She was argumentative and as far as I am concerned she is still being very rude. I am not leaving this matter. As far as I am concerned this matter has not been resolved
I will not set foot there ever again
ice cream full of water and ice
We love Steers and often buy their food, however by now we have learned that the quality of Steers Food in Uitenhage differs from Steers in Port Elizabeth and Despatch. We have complained at the Steers Uitenhage Management with regards to their Soft Serves for one example. Go to any other Steers and you get a creamy texture, Steers Uitenhage's softserves are always watery and full of ice particals. This is an absolute scam as it seems they are trying to stretch their product, however in the interim are hurting the brand. I have heard the same complaint from numerous fellow Uitenhagers. What is the use of having the services in Uitenhage if you have to drive to PE anyway if you want promised quality?
bad bad bad
Tonight, 15 November 2012, I decided to get my favourite ribs for dinner for us as I am feeling under the weather and not in the mood for cooking. So I ordered a dubble rack @ R114.95 from Steers Life Style Centre in Centurion for delivery. When I received the ribs and opened the box, there was exactly 7 bones with the toughest meat ever on it. I took a photo as I couldn't believe I just paid a R114.95 for 7 pieces of bone! Steers was always my favourite place to get ribs, but the portions are not what they say and the prices are rediculously expensive! Don't thinks I will EVER buy from Steers again!
poor service and food
Good day
Today I went to order the Special for R10 (for today only) ONLY to be told that they do not have that Special anymore, I have to order the normal Special. I went to Steers for that specific order not the usual order. I then already told my Kids to get an ice cream. I ordered the ice creams as well as the normal special with chips. I waited and waited and could not wait any longer as I only have 1hour lunch. After a while I asked them to deliver rather. When my food arrived it was ice cold and the chips as well as the patty was burned. When I was standing in the shop still their was a few people actually asking for their money back as they also could not wait so LOOOOOONG. The one Lady called the Owner/Manager of the shop and explained to her decently her situation. The Owner/Manager was very rood. This is most definitely not the way to run a Professional Business. I wanted the special.
rib burger
Good day
The service today regarding the special as advertise on tv (Rib burger for r10.00) was a total disaster. I spend more than 2hours to search for a steers that I actually could get a rib burger and every where around faerie glen (Pretoria) it was sold out. My question is: how do you advertise a campaign like this word wide without having enough food for everybody?
Never the less my manager was even more furious because our lunch ti'me is 30minutes only. I had to apologise and feel that if there was enough food prepared for everybody this problem would not have occurred.
I need a voucher to make up for this inconvenience and know that i'm not the only one that's unhappy regarding today's experience. Kindly contact me via e-mail: [protected]@bestmed.co. Za. I'm working in a call centre and therefore request communication/feedback via e-mail please.
Worst service ever i orders two Ribster Burgers from the steers at Bara city and they gave me two dry steers burgers .
When I got there I PLACED AN ORDER FOR THE RIBSTERS THE PRICE WAS R56.90 WHEN YOU HAVE THE COKE ZERO AS A DRINK BUT I DIDN'T WANT THAT SO I HAD THE FANTA ORANGE AND STONY AS DRINK AND THE PRICE WAS R57.90 I EVERN ASKED WHY SHE DIDN'T WARM MY PATTIES CAUSE THE STEERS AT DIEPKLOOF SQUARE THE DID THAT SHE SAID THE HAD WARM ONES ON THAT WARMER
WHEN I GOT HOME ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S NOT WHAT I ORDERED.
M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS I WAS WARNERD NOT TO GO THERE BUT SINCE IT'S THE CLOSEST ONE TO HOME MARA WHAT I GOT WAS SHI***
SERVICE.
I WOULD LIKE THE MANGER TO CHECK MY THERE SERCURITY CAMERAS TO CHECK HOW MY ORDER WAS PREPARED AND IF IT'S WHAT I ORDERED THE DATE WAS 24/09/2019 the time is 16:20.
I agree with Vennesa
my wife went to Pine slopes Shopping centre in Fourways at 10:00 am to buy rib burger specials - no stock
we went there AGAIN at about 7:30 pm - a notice on the window stating "No Stock"
how can Steers run a country wide promotion if they have NO STOCK - you are not allowed to advertise if you can't deliver
i will NEVER supports steers again ! Hope they go belly up !

burger
On Wednesday the 13th of June 2012 I went to Steers Gonubie and purchased 16 rib burger specials I could not believe my eyes when I opened them at home A dry bun with a rib patty and a slice of tomato a few crumbs of onion If that is Steers's def of a burger I will never buy a burger there again. I will be ashamed to sell something like that for R10 and then they say the normal price is R25 sorry to say but they will not see me or my friends again
king steer burger pattie not cooked
Spent just over R40 for a King Steer meal, only to discover that the pattie was still raw inside... absolutely disgusting & totally put off.
Why is there no pride taken when in the food industry especially, do these people have passion for what they do or just do it coz its their job?

rude cashier & supervisor

Complaint: gross disrespect towards customer. I order two original burgers with one chips upsized to large and one kiddies meal. The service was of such poor quality that made me wonder on what principle and criteria does steers hire staff. The salesperson does not listen to what the customer orders and give what you did not order, when the supervisor is called she only tells you, "but it is only a r4 difference' voids the order and when they packed my food in the bag, it is being thrown into bag. I lost my appetite, but still took the food as my family requested me for the"real good food" from steers. When I opened the bag at home, I had to rearange the burgers and chips. Is this really how one should enjoy a good burger?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My husband and I were both hungry after a long day at the doctors and were both looking forward for a nice big boy rump steak (Which cost r94.90 for one). When we received them: it looked like small non-chewable minute - what ever - you could not even call them minute steaks. They were definately not what was said on the menu: "tender rump steak". After complaining to the waiters, the lady that was in charge for the day did not even come to listen what the complaint was about. They still let us pay the full amount of r94.90 x 2. It was horrible meat - the blockman from the butchery where they get their meat from should be fired! The meat was so "non-chewable" - maybe it was an ox or some animal that was hit on the n2? Surely there must be a policy of non-payment for service like this?

I buy steers basically every second day for lunch... Firstly I havent been able to order their chicken snack pack as they tell me they dont have chicken for over 7 months. Secondly the person taking the order over the phone either cant understand english or cant hear me so it takes me 10 minutes to order. Thirdly when my order gets delivered 45 mins after I ve placed it its always missing something or they dont give me change. Basically steers service is shocking.
just very very bad service, workers dont have a clue what is going on in the front and i can see there is no management on the floor or kitchen to see what is going on with production..everyone behind the counter looks so lost.orders pileing up and no one knows how to disspatch them in tme..making customers very pissed off and impatient because even we can see what the problem is
On the 14th of august 2017 I made a purchase from Steers Brackenfell, the amount is was supposed to be charged was 51.90 which I paid using a credit card but when I checked my statment i saw that not only had the amount of 51.90 been deducted but a further amount of 99.95 I only signed the slip for the correct amount and no slip was presented to me for the 99.95. I reported this to the manger at the store and she requested that I send an email of my bank statment to them showing this double charge which i did I have followed up twice on this and to date have not been remibursed. This is fraud and is not acceptable, I would like head office to comment on this.
