"Great vibe here, really enjoyed the food. Big bar section. Also outdoor seating ect. Definitely recommended. Also the left handed only drinking brings something new to the table. All notes i have, chairs are hard,square and not comfortable. Furniture seems abit flimsy.or the floor wasn't level? Also the big plates with empty space makes you're meal look small. Otherwise all and all a good experience and food was cooked as asked. Will visit again"

"Visiting South Africa for the first time in 3 years since moving to New Zealand, Hennie's wasn't at Preller when we left. It was the most pleasant surprise to come back to. Staff did their best to make us feel welcome, accommodated & well served despite being super busy. They didn't try, they successfully surpassed our expectations & their own attempts. Hennie's was busy but the staff never seemed overwhelmed. Hennie's is a most welcome refreshing change of pace for Bloemfontein. A definite must-visit for visitors to Bloemfontein, for visitors to South Africa."
