Delicious food that is reasonably priced.

Food was really great and flavourful; portion sizes disappointing but understandable as weights are raw weights and cooking process results in considerable weight loss. Service was friendly and quick; management quick to respond but front desk needs PR development. Worth supporting.

No doubt the food is great 5/5. The brisket and beef ribs were lovely.The seating is definitely not good. My wife couldn’t get on the bench due to the seats being so high. I had to help her up.The manager on shift. He has no etiquette of speaking to his waiters.He is so grumpy and doesn’t make any effort to let you feel welcomed.The waiters were quite friendly and helpful.But overall I would definitely recommend the place for their food but currently I don’t see the place as a nice sit down and relaxed restaurant.

A dinning experience with a unique menu, exceptionally prepared food complimented with great service! Thank you!

I really enjoyed the food, however wasn't a fan of the seating and close seating of nearby tables indoors, but regardless of that it is clearly a eat and go restaurant which is fine.

I don't know if we were there on an off day but I expected so much more.Our drinks order took quite a while to arrive and the food was subpar. My friend ordered the beef brisket which was quite dry, and the chicken wings tasted more like braai than the mango and habanero that I ordered. I understand it's supposed to have smokehouse flavours so don't get me wrong but I absolutely did not get the flavour pairing I ordered.Staff looked a bit uninterested in being there too which is a turn off.The concept is fantastic, which really had us excited but I definitely won't be hurrying back!

Great food. All round good spot

When we arrived at the place it was full, I think it's mostly because it's a very new establishment.Unfortunately, there wasn't any space available for us to be seated and when we spoke to the host, he said the next available appointment would be in another hour or so.We were told we can wait and hopefully a table opens up for us, which we decided to do.It is recommended that you book online for availability rather than waiting for a table to open up, like we did.My girlfriend and I had the Pork Spare Ribs 600g, Cheesy Nachos with Jalapeños and Avocado. For dessert, we had a Chocolate Brownie.I can only speak from my experience of eating the pork ribs, it had a very soft taste that was fall of the bone literally, complemented with a corn bread which had a sponge cake like consistency.Overall the staff are very friendly and helpful while the food is excellent. Just a bit more inside seating would be nice, especially for the winter season.
