Had a Sunday lunch. Its was fine. Good service, good portion size and food was all hot and delivered to the table in a timely manner. Drinks good and everything was perfect. Very reasonable prices and I would definitely go again. No issues at all. There is a huge amount of choice in this area and I would go if... More

The venue appears to be good until one starts to look a little harder. Perhaps it is a lack of attention to detail but it seemed a little tired and not as well kept as it should be. The food was disappointing and unmemorable - although not bad. They have a courtyard at the back under trees and umbrellas which... More

We've been there on a couple of occasions now, but Full Stop sadly seems to have lost its charm despite the lovely "new" spot off the main drag. The food is okay, the service so-so and parking is a bit of a schlepp. Not our favourite anymore... (been going there since it opened in Melville many moons ago).

Full Stop moved from Parkhurst to Parktown North and the revamp and move has done it good. The last time I visited them in Parkhurst was a dissapointment, but recently when I went there in 7th Avenue, Parktown North, it was great. Good value, nice decor, pleasant atmosphere.

I went here with a group of friends, unlike most establishments in the area you do not look out on the road or a parking lot but instead you are housed at the back of an old house with a charming outdoor area. The interiors are nice enough, but sitting inside the house isn't quite as cosy, and the decorative... More

The decor of this restaurant reminds one of the golden days of America in the 1950's with Elvis Presley, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, together with iconic signboards of gas stations, old cars and trucks, American Roadhouses and Diners. A menu with a vast choice of delectable meals from American & Italian dishes with the inevitable pizza selection. Diners return... More

On our visit to Johannesburg in 2010 we went to Full Stop when it was in Parkhurst and had really good meals. We were back in Jo'burg in April 2012 and looked up the new location. the new place had a great relaxed feel and the old favourites were still on the menu. This is a great place to take... More

I know Full Stop from my youth when it was located in Mellvile. I never went during it's Parkhurst days; but now feel like I've reconnected with an old friend and we've both grown up in the interim . . .! The new Full Stop is in a refurbished house in Parktown North; a separate front room is perfect for... More

It was mid winter, restaurant was cold, food portions were small and so very "average". The person I booked our table with said we would be seated in a "warm" area. Not so! To compound a sub standard evening - all the "smokers" congregated outside our poorly closing window. Add up the negatives - cold, food that was in no... More
