Always a great meal and experience! What a bonus that you can bring your own drinks which makes it easier to spend money on more ribs which are no doubt the BEST in town

This is a great little tavern. The food is really fantastic. While the area is a bit dodgy and run down, the food is worth the visit. I would recommend going in a large group. It's also quite pricey, but definitely worth it!

3/5 - Take aways - Portuguese Style Chicken and Chips, but was a bit disappointed comparing it to a National Brand alternative - had to agree with wife in that it was OK.

Firstly I have heard a lot about this place and in the quest for "slap chips" decided to pop in just after they opened at 12h00 today as I was in the area. Take note that they operate at specific times, so check before going.
A whole chicken and chips (R160) as well as an extra side portion of chips (R40) was ordered.
The chicken was cut into 8 pieces and basted in Lemon and Herb sauce. The portion of chips that came with it we opted not to put any additional sauce on. The extra portion of chips, we opted to put on the BBQ sauce.
Overall the chicken was "OK" and a little on the small side portion. The BBQ covered extra portion of chips was tasty but not as "slap" as what we have been looking for in Port Elizabeth (so the hunt continues)....

To sum up the food was taste wise OK, the portion on the small side for the amount of money being paid (maybe we had a bad pick of the draw), and the chips not as thick and "slap" as what we have been searching for.

Side note - The area where the restaurant is located is close to city center area so some people may not feel comfortable venturing out into the area, however I did not feel threatened or unsafe at all when I arrived at midday.

The food is amazing. The prawns are insane. Everything he prepares is mouth watering. A place everyone must visit. You are allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks to the restaurant as there is a bit of a wait. The wait is worth it . Amazing place Bruno you and your team keep up the amazing experience

Best ribs in town! The restaurant is very relaxed, help yourself to drinks, owners rely on honesty. Alcohol is not sold here but you can bring your own free of charge. The interior decorations are very minimalistic.
