If you have not yet heard of Ribs and Burgers, I’m here to tell you that you’ve been missing out. Ribs and Burgers is an international restaurant chain with recently opened South African branches in Sandton and Pretoria.

A few weeks ago I went to visit Ribs and Burgers in Sandton at The Marc. I’ve visited them a number of times previously, so clearly I’m a fan. This time, I decided to bring my mom along for lunch and introduce her to Ribs and Burgers. We started out with a glass of Peacock merlot – perfect for a chilly autumn day. I then opted for the bacon and cheese burger. This is a 150g beef patty served with bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles with a BBQ and pink sauce. Absolutely delicious. The patty was juicy and flavoursome; cooked to perfection. At Ribs and Burgers you can select how you’d like your patty done and you can also pick and choose and add on any extra toppings as you like. My mom opted for the 400g grass-fed rump steak (yes my mother too has a big appetite. I guess I got it from my mama ;-)). The rump was flame grilled and basted in Ribs and Burgers’ signature BBQ basting. She loved this steak. We also shared a side of the thick cut crunchy potato chips. Our waiter recommended the chilli mayonnaise dipping sauce to go with the chips which was a great recommendation. The portion sizes at Ribs and Burgers are very generous making any meal great value for money.

The restaurant has a modern feel to it boasting dark leather textures and navy blue. The service at Ribs and Burgers is really great. It’s quick and efficient making it the perfect spot for a quick work lunch. I love their burgers and in my experience the food is always great. I look forward to visiting Ribs and Burgers again soon.
