We got the ribs, onion rings, mushrooms, and chips. We got them takeaways to eat out on the beach. Although one of the better ribs places out for takeaways, I felt that the ribs weren't as tender as previous visits pre COVID. Still a good place to grab a quick fix if craving ribs on a lazy Sunday.

Best ribs I’ve ever eaten, had an awful experience with another ribs place that night and drove here to get some better rib. They sure didn’t disappoint, it really brightened the mood and reminded me to not go to other ribs places. The riblets were my favorite with a delicious sauce and the ribs were amazing as well, all freshly cooked and delicious. Been here many times and never let me down.

Listen, this place isn’t going to win any interior decoration awards. Was a bit worried when I walked in and saw the 2 tables, but stayed for the food and decided to give it a chance. Glad I did, because the food was delicious. Onion rings were a great addition to the ribs and chicken wings. Staff was super helpful as well. Low expectations, but pleasantly surprised. Will be back.

Please train your cashier to call out orders when they are ready. She goes to the kitchen, collects the order and brings it out to the front. Leaves it on the bench. Immediately switches her attention to a person wanting to order for 10 minutes. While my food is sitting on the bench. Email said food will take 30 minutes. It took me an hour. That extra 10 minutes because of cashier incompetence is frustrating when you’re hungry. Edit: I have updated my review from 1 star based on the business response. The wait is ok. The front of house just need to be trained on calling out orders when they bring it out from the kitchen, instead of letting it sit cold on the counter and switching attention to take new orders. I really hope nobody lost their job last night…

Got a Mates Meal box (Ribs, Onion Rings, Coleslaw and Chips) with a side of Chicken Wings (Lemon and Herb) for dinner with friends. Plenty of food for 4x people, massive ribs! Lots of chips with great seasoning, onion rings and coleslaw nice to have on the side too. Wings choice of Lemon and Herb had a nice flavour, with all meat cooked well - nothing dry or over-done. Will return again for another box next time! Phoned ahead to order - was ready in 20 minutes on a mid-week night.

Really enjoyed a nice good meal here. The ribs were very tender and tasty. The burger with mushroom sauce has a nice rich taste to it. The wings were nice and juicy as well. One small let down for me is that you get a large amount of chips with no dressing. You have to pay extra for tomato or aioli dip which is a bit disappointing. I purchased two aioli containers and one tomato sauce container, and it was $2.50 extra, which is a bit steep in my opinion. They also sell peppermint crisp tart which is a really nice South African dessert. For $3.00 a tub, it's definitely worth the price if you have any room after eating your mains. Despite the whole sauce shenanigans, the food is still good and it was really satisfying.

Plenty of items on the menu to choose from, all of which sounds delicious. We got the rack of ribs, added fries and onion rings. Generous servings, enough for 3 people. The ribs were nice and soft, very tasty. Not too overwhelming. Hot chips were cooked and salted perfectly, nice crunch and soft inside. Surprise fav were the onion rings. A little oily but suited very well with the ribs. Not a lot of seating inside but the beach is only a stroll away.

The best Southern Africa-styled grilled ribs I ever had around North Shore. It tastes like the way butcher slaughters pig with draining blood out. Much tasty much appreciated!

Delicious takeaway spot. The price can be seen as expensive but its worth it. Ribs are tender and flavorful, chips are always delicious and the burgers have an awesome grilled taste and they are big! Onion rings are also a very nice side to have!

Great place when you need to satisfy a meat craving! Not the greatest ribs ever, but tasty enough and good for the price. Their chips are awesome, love the seasoning on them. Their burgers are pretty awesome too!!

Totally worth it! The burger was huge. The quarter chicken is good enough to share. The spices and flavour is super tasty. The ribs are soft and melts in your mouth. You can buy one of the combos, have some sides to it and your meal for the entire day is sorted. Listen to what the people are saying folks. They serve great food in here.

The food is great. Simple, well prepared and well priced. However, service is a little slow. The night I purchased was not that busy, yet it took 35 minutes to prepare a 1/2 rack and chips. It makes me slightly reluctant to go there again unless I have plenty of time.
