GRUBhouse Glen Balad
GRUBhouse Glen Balad is a family diner in Kempton Park where you eat burgers, ribs, wings and milkshakes in a retro setting. The menu includes hand-pressed beef patties seasoned with a house spice blend, ribs with various sauces, and thick milkshakes in flavors like chocolate and nutty. A kids' play area keeps younger guests occupied while adults eat.
The diner follows a fast-casual model, with meals served quickly but meant for sitting down rather than taking away. Booth seating and bright colors give the space a 1950s American diner feel with South African touches. Milkshakes come in regular sizes and smaller portions for children.
GRUBhouse started in 2020 during the pandemic and has since expanded to multiple locations. The Glen Balad branch sits at a corner in Glen marais, with parking available nearby. Families and groups often come for casual meals, birthdays or year-end functions.
The kitchen prepares food to order, and the diner stays open through the afternoon and evening for meals at any time of day.
