Spur Burger Special: What the Burger Deals Look Like and How They Compare

Quick answer: Spur's website lists a Monday burger special where you buy one burger and get a free original Spur burger, and branch listings show kids' burger combos for children. Spur has 355 locations, and since they are franchised, the details can vary by restaurant. This article focuses on how to judge Spur's burger deals against other burger options.

Last updated: October 2026. Facts come from the Spur website, Wikipedia (Spur Corporation) and a Cape Town with Kids branch listing. Prices vary and are not stated as current.

Spur's burger offering

Spur Steak Ranches is a family steakhouse, and burgers are a core item. A Cape Town listing describes a kids' combo with a Spur beef or chicken burger, a soda and a lucky packet, and a birthday party package that includes a kids' meal, drink, ice cream and a party box. Those figures were R84.90 and R89.90 per child in that listing, but they are branch-specific and may have changed. Spur's own site promotes the Monday burger special. Because outlets are franchised, ask your restaurant what applies.

Burger deal type	Reported example	Who it suits
Buy one, get one free	Monday burger special on Spur's site	Couples, friends
Kids' combo	Burger, soda and lucky packet in one Cape Town listing	Families with young children
Birthday party package	Kids' meal, drink, ice cream and party box in the same listing	Children's parties

Restaurant burger versus fast food burger

Factor	Spur (sit-down)	Fast food (McDonald's, Steers, Burger King)
Service	Table service	Counter or drive-thru
Time	Longer	Faster
Price	Higher per burger, but offers like BOGO can close the gap	Lower per burger, app coupons help
Extras	Kids' areas at many branches	Drive-thru and delivery

Calculating cost per burger

Invented numbers show the method. A restaurant burger at R120 on a BOGO deal costs R60 each. A fast food combo at R75 per person including chips and a drink might be cheaper if you want a quick meal, but the restaurant gives you a sit-down experience. Decide what you value: speed, price or atmosphere.

Option	Total for two	Per person
Spur BOGO burgers only	R120	R60
Spur BOGO plus two drinks	R180	R90
Fast food combo x2	R150	R75

Spur Family Card

A Cape Town guide says Spur Family Card members get a R50 voucher after spending R1,000 excluding VAT and waitron tips, and a free kids' meal on a child's birthday when the child aged 0 to 12 is registered. Check the current terms with Spur, as loyalty programme rules change.

Burger quality checklist

A burger deal is only good if the burger is good. Check how the patty is cooked, whether the bun is fresh, what comes with the burger and whether the kitchen can adjust for allergies or dietary needs. Ask whether chips are included or charged separately, and look at reviews for your specific restaurant because franchise quality varies. If you are feeding children, ask for sauces on the side and check whether the kids' menu portions suit their age. If you would rather cook at home this week, compare the latest Checkers catalogue, Pick n Pay catalogue and Take n Pay catalogue to see current supermarket specials in South Africa.

Check	What to look for
Patty	Beef or chicken, cooked through
Sides	Included or extra
Drinks	Refills or not
Allergens	Gluten, dairy and sauces

Leftovers and takeaway

If you cannot finish the second burger, ask for a box. Refrigerate within two hours, keep the bun and patty separate if you can and reheat the patty until piping hot before eating it the next day.
