Previously known as The Soul Shack, it changed names in 2018, with a few changes to it. Situated off the busy Trichardt Str, it's easy to miss when driving past. It's quite a large space with inside and outside tables, a huge bar area, as well as another outside area at the back where they have live music. If you inside you don't really hear all the noise out back.
They have a good varied menu, with some interesting combinations of foods so there is something to suit all tastebuds and I must say they have an impressive bar menu selection.
I went for the Long Island Coke (hoping to cure my flu). I was originally ordering the ribs and spicy wings combo which is their Saturday special. Confused, as I thought the extra costs was to upgrade the ribs size to 500g from 300g, but sadly it was just the ribs and chips on their own. I ordered a side of Onion Rings (as you know there are a few staple foods I like to compare everywhere) they were nice but sadly not the best in the east as they claim. My Ribs arrived cold which was a bit of a disappointment, but their chips were good. I would have liked some more sauce on my ribs as they tasted good, mom's prawns cocktail was nice, and had a proper spicy kick to it.
My sister had the Blue cheese snails, but it didn't have as strong a smell/ taste as expected, but the snails were soft and edible. She also tried the Fillet Trinchado in BBQ sauce, but tasted like the rump as it wasn't as tender, and had a strong tomato based flavour.
They also have a kiddies play area outside. So it's got a very chilled easy going vibe.
Go check em out and see for yourself.
