I did the 12oz Orissa Ribeye, medium rare, really juicy, perfectly cooked. Grilled shrimp. Rolls are dangerously good. Will come back if I come back to this town.

I ordered the beef, chicken and shrimp lebobs and they were all cooked perfectly. Both chicken and beef where super moist and soft to bite into. Perfect for my 3 year old daughter who hates dried out meats. The flavor was on point! The rice was good, but the fries...and I'm not usually a fan of fries because well, they are fried and how healthy are they really? But OMG, I ended up ordering another side of fries because they were so good. Thin, crispy and very well seasoned!

Service-Excellent Came Mothers Day and
During lunch service, there was no wait! Came right in and sat right down and Bridget is our server. She is energetic,, friendly, and informative. She very attentive to all of the patrons.
Ambiance - Clean, airy and neat. Even the restrooms.
Food - We had the 12 oz sirloin steaks for 2 with choice of 2 sides for $46 bucks that's a fair deal. All or the food and even the 3 layer chocolate cake were delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Thanks Bridget!

This place was just excellent from the greeting when we came in, to the server, the food, and the hostess' kindness when we left. I ordered the catch of the day, which was grouper, and it was wonderful. My husband ordered the beef tenders, which were basically steak medallion kabobs. He loved them. By the way, the parking lot was full, but we were immediately seated. When we're in town again, we will definitely make this one of our stops.

Our first stop for dinner since arriving from Tasmania, Australia.
We were greeted by Maxwell upon arriving. Maxwell seated us and from that very moment Maxwell was simply amazing!
Nothing was too much trouble for this lovely man.
Speedy, friendly service.
The food was delicious, the ribs were so juicy and tender.
The atmosphere was great.
Thank you Safari for a brilliant

The service was great. We got the steak, chicken, and shrimp skewers. I liked the food but it didn't sit well with my wife. The steak marinade was similar to Teriyaki which she does not like. Otherwise the food was good. We would visit again.

It was good, My family used to go at the one in Rivergate many years ago and I don't know if they are same company, but looks the same. The portions are big.

What a wonderful anniversary dinner we had. Atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Servers and bartenders are friendly and attentive. An all around excellent experience on our 11th anniversary. OMG the desserts are incredible! I am riding a sugar high. We will be back for sure. Never Disappoints.
Jennifer Gray
Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing food. I highly recommend Safari's if you are looking for a top notch steak...but they have other great foods as well. The rolls are delicious and the bar has some really unique and delicious drinks to offer also.

- service was good. Food was delicious except the steak.... It was really dry and had no seasoning, I wanted medium rare but got medium well...
Heidi Massey
5 years of living in Hendersonville, and finally for the first time, we came in tonight.
I cannot believe we wasted 5 years anywhere else.... every dish was INCREDIBLE.
The Bread ( drooling...)
The mushrooms...best I've had in a decade.
The Alfredo....TOP NOTCH...
And the steaks....oh my God the steaks...
The BEST steaks I've ate in my lifetime.
5 stars. 10 stars. Take all my stars....
Incredible.

It's usually quite crowded so today was the first success we've had to eat there. Several people anticipated their opening because they remembered them from years ago. I didn't live in the area at the time.
The service was great and that was from a waitress who was working 5 tables seated within just minutes of each other.
The food was a bit underwhelming. Perhaps it was the hype. I've had better and I've certainly had worse. I ordered a basic pizza since they have a full page dedicated to them. The crust was good but a tad oily. My husband got the Membo which was basically a chicken wrap. They both were fine.
Not sure if we'll try it again or not. We just weren't blown away. We didn't hate it though.

This is definitely not the old Safari's. The wait time was short but the food quality was terrible. My salad was gross, my husbands steak was so raw it was still cold. They forgot our sides and when they were brought mine was cold. I order mashed potatoes as the side and extra side of rice, of which was $2.oo. the waitress didn't bother to tell me my entree was served on a bed of rice as well. Then my bill they charged me for the potatoes $3.oo. they did take off the steak but the manager never came to talk to us. We will never go back
Carrie Ann Porter
Our family went to Safari’s today for the first time. Let’s just say we had a wonderful experience! Food was on point, service was great and we will definitely be back. Not only did our waitress Charity take wonderful care of us, the Manager personally came over to check on our table! Very Impressive and much needed in Hendersonville, thanks again for our wonderful family lunch today!
Elizabeth B. Kavanagh
We had dinner tonight and it was just like we remember from the old days. To celebrate our visit we ordered our favorites from the past and we were not disappointed! We will definitely go back as regulars again. Safaris was our favorite place to go to for a relaxing delicious meal. Our server was excellent!!!!
Melinda Haynes Smith
My husband and I came to dine tonight and was blown away with everything. From the moment you walk in the hostess greeted us with a smile. After being seated our server Kelly was the greatest. After settling with our drinks and menu. We ordered Fritters and Nachos, let me tell you, they were the bomb! Just as I remembered from the old days of Rivergate. The timing of everything was perfect. Then came the dinners....my beef tenders were so tender, no knife needed! The Zulu Potatoes were spiced just perfect!! Oh and don’t forget the deep fried rolls!! Pure heavenly!! This will definitely be on our return list. I loved every minute of being here!!
Tiffany Hall
Went for the first time this afternoon. Aubrey was a great server and food was wonderful. Cheese fritters weren't quit as good as we remember at the old one but worth thd drive from Portland. We will be back!
Olivia Warner Wilkinson
Safari's has the best food!!! No matter what you get it's going to be great!!! The Ribs are my favorite!!! They are beef fall off the bone not dry just awesome!!!
Ina McDonald
The above star rating is given due to the personable, efficient and professional service of a young waiter named “Texas”. Kudos to “Texas” as well as to the person astute enough to hire him Now to the food: steaks and fish were good, Mac and cheese pretty good, “cinnamon” apples should be removed from the men as there is NO CINNAMON or any other flavor. Nasty apples out of an aluminum can! ugh! The other side dishes were ok. Not sure regarding a return meal.
Margaret King
Reminds me of the time when it was "the place to eat" and it still has that same charm. A fun place with affordable food.
Katrina A Waltenbaugh
We went for the first time last night. The service was first rate. We were supposed to get salads with our entree but they didn’t come and we told our server we really had plenty of food without them. He immediately had fresh ones made for us and packed to go, which was nice. Food was fresh and hot. We will definitely go back
Bridgette Davidson Wilkinson
Love that this place Ian back!! Great atmosphere, great food like i remembered, & our server Tamika was awesome! Definitely will be back👍🏼👍🏼
Dennis White
It was great seeing see of the old favorite things from the original Safaris. The bread and salads delicious the service was awesome atmosphere was great sat out on the patio .our waitress was awesome manager came by several times to check on us . I would definitely tell you to check this place out
Kate Walker
Went back to Safari's after leaving the first attempt without even ordering. Two of us in an almost empty restaurant. Waited 9 minutes before a waitress came by. Cheese fritters were half under-cooked and half over-cooked. Husband's steak was cooked to the correct temperature, but had NO seasoning at all on it. Fries were WAY over-seasoned. Salad was mostly ribs. My club sandwich was average but the cheese was so overpowering that it was all you taste. The bread was the only good thing (warm sweet bread). Glad we went back so we now know to just take it off our list of restaurants. Not impressed at all.
Casey Chapman
Extremely slow service. Management seemed clueless. I gave it two stars because the food was decent. Won’t be back though. Shouldn’t take over an hour to eat out on a Tuesday when the place is far from busy.
Michelle Rice Blair
Fantastic! We just returned from Mothers Day dinner. They greeted us with flowers, the food was phenomenal and to top it off, all the ladies got free desert! I grew up going to Safaris, when it was in Rivergate. I remember being so shocked and disappointed when it closed down. To learn that the original owners opened this one and see the menu and food is exactly the same- so awesome! I hope they are wildly successful!
Scott Oldham
My family had dinner there tonight. I had an appetizer combo, cheese fritters, potato skins, wings. My wife had chicken fritters, the kids had a grilled cheese and cheeseburger. All the food and service was superb!
Kayla Malone
I loved that place. Very good food! Appetizers are great! Went at happy hour and got a lot of appetizers half off! I will b going back!
Jenny Stanley
The wait was short, but it took forever for the server to take our order and then again forever for the food to come out. When it did finally come out, the food was terrible. Although the servers were friendly, I was a little offended one of them pretty much called my one year old daughter fat. � Definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, nor will I be returning anytime soon.
Dianne Spurlock Winstead
We have been to Safaris' many times and each time we are not disappointed. The cheese fritters are a great appetizer! The Chicken Tanzania is delicious but we always add barbeque sauce and a pineapple to it. Thanks for making each experience very enjoyable! We will definitely keep coming back!
