The legend returns! The hickory shack fabulous meat and great beer from Charlies Garage - what more do you need?
Brisket is super soft but very rich so share it with a friend. Meaty beans are delicious. A good selection of serious slow cooked meat and casual burgers and tacos on menu.
Place still needs a bit more of women's touch on decor but don't let that stop you enjoying the fine food.

First time visiting this place and it did have some sort of vibe. Unfortunately there was a burst water pipe so the entire Simonstown had no water. Despite this, we were able to order our meals & drinks. Food was okay, nothing special. The best attraction of all was seeing the baboons roam the street outside.

Was the first time back in Simon's Town in many years and spotted the Hickory Shack with my wife and Mom, so we decided to give it a try. Wow !! Are we glad we have it a try !! We had a lovely view looking out with the right music playing at a good volume in the background alla modern country. The smell of the smoke house was intoxicating. We were served by our waitron, Tanashe, which was very friendly and quickly let us know what the house specialities were. They also offer homecrafted beer of which we tried the six sample beers which altogether came to adding up to a pint. Needless to say the beers proved a fantastic discussion point as we tried to identify flavors like Honey, passion fruit and even caramel. We decided to try a portion of each meal which was the Brisket, the Pork ribs and the pulled pork. Each dish comes accompanied by a slaw which is delicious I might add and homecut rustic fries which really added to the experience. We all tried a bit of each other's meals and could not decide on who's was best as they were equally good. The meals come with two homemade condiments on the table, a hickory sauce and a smoked chilli sauce that is done in the smoker as is to die for. All in All an amazing experience and not one you will not regret having.

You have to visit one that will be here for many years, and you'll tell your grandkids to visit :) but you have to taste it all. Guys it's a serious taste fantasy and then you get some great beers that goes the Texas link sausage and don't forget to pair it up with some Meaty beans just yummy!

After a lovely day in cape hope point, we stopped off for some supper. This spot looked good and had high reviews yet we were still skeptical. We started with beef rib which were cooked perfectly. Juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The chips and coleslaw were also delicious. The service was garbage unfortunately. It was our waiters second day on the job and looked like a lost child the whole time. Every process took forever from ordering to them cleaning out our plate. The brisket was not tender at all.

impressive pork ribs, with really delicious (and what an american would call) somewhat exotic sauces, the view from the window seats is fantastic, the ribs were tender, delicious and plentiful.
