The best Southern Africa-styled grilled ribs I ever had around North Shore. It tastes like the way butcher slaughters pig with draining blood out. Much tasty much appreciated!
Really enjoyed a nice good meal here. The ribs were very tender and tasty. The burger with mushroom sauce has a nice rich taste to it. The wings were nice and juicy as well.
One small let down for me is that you get a large amount of chips with no dressing. You have to pay extra for tomato or aioli dip which is a bit disappointing. I purchased two aioli containers and one tomato sauce container, and it was $2.50 extra, which is a bit steep in my opinion.
They also sell peppermint crisp tart which is a really nice South African dessert. For $3.00 a tub, it's definitely worth the price if you have any room after eating your mains.
Despite the whole sauce shenanigans, the food is still good and it was really satisfying.
Just like the other branch, very good especially after a very long day of climbing Rangitoto. Introduced a mate to Rack n Roll and he pretty much cleaned his plate up.
Rack n roll ribs is pretty much always consistantly good quality. Sometimes the chips or onion rings can be a little on the soft side. But otherwise they are always full of flavour. Ribs are yummy and sticky. Have had their wings can be hit and miss first time delish and second time was not as great. Will always go back
This place doesn’t look like much, the marketing budget must be low. But oh boy..... they don’t skimp where it counts! I first tried the chicken on chips. INSANELY tasty chicken, I’ve tried all flavours and they’re all good (though the honey mustard doesn’t have enough sauce to soak into the chips like the other flavours do). The ribs (both pork and beef) have a primo reputation in the area, but I’m most fond of their burgers. A burger artist has designed these bad boys. They haven’t just bought the cheapest buns they could to make more money, they are exceptional, they’re big, and the patties are the bomb. Pay for extra basting on the meat pattie, it takes it to next level. Have never been disappointed by this place. It’s not cheap, but IMO it’s worth it.
Hands down one of the best ribs I've ever had! It's s affordable for something that tastes so amazing. I was recommended to try this place and I'm glad I listened. A look good and sooo cheap :D

As you can see we got enough food for an army. Flavours were good, however some points taken off for execution. Ribs and Honey mustard chicken sauce were slightly too sweet for my liking and Rib meat was a bit chewy not falling off the bone. Riblets were a bit so so and once we had arrived home to Northcote containers had started to sweat making the chips a bit mushy.
Prices are great for size of meals
Great customer service and speed of meal.
Happy to try again in store next time.
Ordered the Beach box and it was great!! Portion size is big (fed a group of 5 and still had heaps of leftovers) , customer service is great, food was also tasty, only thing was that once we dug into the ribs the outside was warm and the inside was getting cold.
Rated 3.5
Ordered their full rack of ribs, onion rings and mushroom chips to takeaway on the weekend. Ribs were yum and well portioned, but it needs to be eaten while it's hot as after it cooled the meat becomes really tough. Onion rings and mushroom chips were fried to perfection, they're a bit too salty for my liking but combined with the sweet sauce from the ribs it's not too overwhelming. Overall a good place when you're craving for ribs and is on a budget.
Never heard of this place but gave it a try and the ribs are amazing, onion rings were even better. Great price for the meal. Very clean easy parking
We got the ribs, onion rings, mushrooms, and chips. We got them takeaways to eat out on the beach. Although one of the better ribs places out for takeaways, I felt that the ribs weren't as tender as previous visits pre COVID. Still a good place to grab a quick fix if craving ribs on a lazy Sunday.
Best ribs I’ve ever eaten, had an awful experience with another ribs place that night and drove here to get some better rib. They sure didn’t disappoint, it really brightened the mood and reminded me to not go to other ribs places. The riblets were my favorite with a delicious sauce and the ribs were amazing as well, all freshly cooked and delicious. Been here many times and never let me down.
Listen, this place isn’t going to win any interior decoration awards. Was a bit worried when I walked in and saw the 2 tables, but stayed for the food and decided to give it a chance.
Glad I did, because the food was delicious. Onion rings were a great addition to the ribs and chicken wings. Staff was super helpful as well. Low expectations, but pleasantly surprised. Will be back.
Please train your cashier to call out orders when they are ready. She goes to the kitchen, collects the order and brings it out to the front. Leaves it on the bench. Immediately switches her attention to a person wanting to order for 10 minutes. While my food is sitting on the bench. Email said food will take 30 minutes. It took me an hour. That extra 10 minutes because of cashier incompetence is frustrating when you’re hungry.
Edit: I have updated my review from 1 star based on the business response. The wait is ok. The front of house just need to be trained on calling out orders when they bring it out from the kitchen, instead of letting it sit cold on the counter and switching attention to take new orders. I really hope nobody lost their job last night…
Got a Mates Meal box (Ribs, Onion Rings, Coleslaw and Chips) with a side of Chicken Wings (Lemon and Herb) for dinner with friends.
Plenty of food for 4x people, massive ribs! Lots of chips with great seasoning, onion rings and coleslaw nice to have on the side too. Wings choice of Lemon and Herb had a nice flavour, with all meat cooked well - nothing dry or over-done.
Will return again for another box next time!
Phoned ahead to order - was ready in 20 minutes on a mid-week night.

Plenty of items on the menu to choose from, all of which sounds delicious. We got the rack of ribs, added fries and onion rings. Generous servings, enough for 3 people. The ribs were nice and soft, very tasty. Not too overwhelming. Hot chips were cooked and salted perfectly, nice crunch and soft inside. Surprise fav were the onion rings. A little oily but suited very well with the ribs. Not a lot of seating inside but the beach is only a stroll away.
Tasty and tender ribs. Sharing plate was generous amount. Good for 4 people

Delicious takeaway spot. The price can be seen as expensive but its worth it. Ribs are tender and flavorful, chips are always delicious and the burgers have an awesome grilled taste and they are big! Onion rings are also a very nice side to have!
