✨ HighlightFrom what we've heard, it's been rated/hailed as the best ribs in JHB. Were the ribs good? Yes. Were they the best I've had? Personally, no. I had the beef ribs. I really liked the fact that the basting wasn't that annoyingly sweet marinade used on almost all ribs. It was very smokey, however, the ribs were okay. Perhaps, these ratings/praise come from the pork ribs which I've yet to try. My man had the 500g t bone, the meat was absolutely juicy and tender. We weren't a fan of the sauces. We ordered mushroom sauce and Portuguese sauce. The service was extremely efficient and friendly so that's a plus. The restaurant itself has a big family feel. The decor literally looks like it hasn't changed since it opened, which makes it very homey. If you're going to try them out, I think you should opt for the pork ribs. I definitely want to give that a try and see if it lives up to the hype.→
