We arrived just as they opened and the smoker was already going. After being teased by the owner on what he had going, we were very quickly/easily convinced to stay for the ribs. Sorry for the poor picture but they were were really falling of the bone with the perfect amount of honey basting that we completely forgot about a ‘before’ picture. I also like the very simple one page menu. It proves that if the food is made with care and high quality ingredients, you don’t need very many options.
Seriously best ribs i ever had in the world. Really worth it and this place is perfect with kids as they have a beautiful playground with grass. You must order ribs in advance when making a reservation at least 24h ahead.

Really great food, great vibes, just some weird things around service. E.g. we were told they don't serve tap water and we would have to pay for bottles, which seems... illegal? At least unethical? What's the issue with the tap water and why isn't it being addressed? Edit: yes, in fact this is illegal. Per section 4.6 of the Liquor Act 2003 Norms and Standards, restaurants have to provide free drinking water in South Africa. https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/37322gen80.pdf Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

I have had the pleasure of Dining with Bennie and the team for a couple of months now. The only problem I have is picking something off the menu, I know every dish is as good as the next. Not even to mention the Ribs on Weekends. The amount of detail put into the food, the flavour and the quality - just makes the experience so much more worth while!

The owners are very hands on and it gives it that personal touch. The ribs are the best you will ever taste! Not forgetting the chicken, some of the softest and juiciest chicken breast we ever had. You have to pre-book your ribs or chicken, as it is made to order and ensures freshness and flavor. It is also reasonably priced, so all in all a great experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Stopped for a tasting at the Stillman distillery and Soul Barrel Brewery and what a surprise to have these guys next door! Pizza is absolutely amazing, loaded with filling. Preggo chicken is so succulent and delicious. And they smoke ribs on Saturdays! Absolutely worth a visit👌

Pizza was undercooked and the Mozzarella cheese was processed :( the kids food was covered in chilli spice making it inedible for the kids. Very disappointing. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 150–200
