I have to take my hat off to the senior management of this restaurant a Mother and Daughter team who do an outstanding job. This is not an easy business to be in, the headaches and stress that come with it, the people in the know will agree with me. Ladies keep it up.

The name says it all. You go for the ribs as it is to die for. They have a nice warm and cozy atmosphere making you feel welcome. Go for the ribs, you won't regret it.

The food is very tasty and they have a very relaxed atmosphere.
The food is a bit expensive but taking the buffet is always worth your money.

14.08.2016 It's been years since I was last at this restaurant and recently found myself here again.

We went for the breakfast buffet. I guess I'm spoilt when it comes to these as I am use to places with a huge array of food items from sweet to savoury and in terms of breakfast this was rather limited. It has the basics white and brown Bread, Cereals, Fruit Salad and Yoghurt. Warm food options were eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Mushrooms, Livers, Pap and chakalaka and French toast. Although it was good and filled the tummy, missed having a selection of pastries or waffles or crumpets or juices or just that something extra.

I ordered a Cappuccino with the perfect amount of cream - yummy. My Amarula White Hot chocolate however was a tad too sweet.

Thankfully it is under management who have been well known in the fast food industry over the years. I'm sure given time they will make some changes and bring this place back to life.

A quiet, little buffet with ribs galore! The softest pork roast sets the precedent and the ribs don't disappoint. This will be a firm fav whenever I am in Jozi!

I've been to many restaurants of vastly different calibers; however trust me when I say that the service and food at the House of Ribs is by far one of the very best I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Their pricing is akin to that of Spur - perhaps even more affordable; with the exception that you get 5 star world class treatment from House of Ribs.

I'll definately visit again; even if it's just for a cup of coffee.

House of ribs as the name suggests is famous for their ribs, which i would rate 7/10, the basting could maybe use some improvement but overall very tasty.

There is also a large and very well priced buffet offering your usual Sunday lunch type fares, which is very good by buffet standards.

There is a great kids area to keep the little ones busy and the service has been consistent on all the occasions i have visited them.

Lastnight I had the utter pleasure to dine at House of Ribs in Boksburg. I never once for a second imagined it would be as high class and elegant as it was. the decor is beautiful, the lights dimmed for the perfect date and the old 90's music playing softly in the background while I enjoy my drink.

The restaurant was immensely busy - I do not smoke and was seated in the smoking area as there was no other spaces available. I didnt mind as the manager accommodated us by seating us by an open window so the smoke didnt bother us. The waiter seemed to be waiting on 7 tables at once so I do not blame him for the slow service as we recieved our drinks in record time.

We waited about 25 - 30 minutes for our food. I ordered a medium rare 250G ladies fillet while my fiance ordered the 300 G rump. My steak was cooked to PERFECTION, the meat was literally peeling off and delectably smooth on the pallet. Coupled with the creamed spinach that melted in your mouth. My piece of fillet was incredibly big which impressed me with how perfect it was cooked. My faince had his 300 G rump well done and was impressed with how it was cooked but not impressed with the size as it was much flatter and smaller than mine and did not seem to be 300G. But none the less, the steaks were cooked to perfection, the chips crispy - my vegetables cooked lovely. Not too mention - how affrodable our array of wonderful food was. It cost us no more than R200 to enjoy a high end meal for two. We enjoyed the rest of the evening drinking and watching the nearby planes fly over through the window while smelling the Lavender right outside the window.

I can honestly say - that was the best steak i have ever had! Well done!

And to top it off - we had a warm greeting goodnight by the patrons.

Excellent evening spent at The House Of Ribs - will definitely be visiting them again in the near future!

We were disappointed the ribs were cold since it was what we were looking forward to the most! And my toilet didnt flush..But the service and atmosphere was satisfactory. Will definitely visit again.

This is such a great place and offers buffet meals. We opted for buffet breakfast, but they also had other buffet meals on their menu. I guess we will need to come back for lunch. Service was amazing, and the staff was enthusiastic and friendly. They have seating outside and have a bar and smoking section. This is great for young kids as they have an in-house arcade section and lots to keep children busy. they also have kids' supervision. Great music. They honestly tick all the boxes. This will be a great place for small to larger groups of people, family gatherings, and birthday parties.

OMG the guy that greeted me as I walked in❤️❤️❤️ his energy, I think he is the manager. He made this place for me, well nearly killed me with the cocktail🤣 but he fixed it shame. I ordered ribs and chips for take away. Loved the food, I had pork ribs, I will definitely go back for the buffet 😊. Affordable prices too, they have a great kiddies place with extra games. Also an adult place🤣 the bar. I loved it. Great place.

I definitely recommend the pork ribs. The buffet was also great, however, we had to wait in a bit of a long queue as the place was quite packed on the day we went. It was also very noisy due to the amount of people at the restaurant when we went but if you don't mind the noise, it's a good place.

I tried House of Ribs tonight after giving them quite a long break. We got there around 7:30 and was surprised at how many empty tables there were. The food selection was roast pork, roast beef, Spareribs, potatoes, spinach, pumpkin. While the selection is good and the food is flavourful it was unfortunately all cold

Had a pretty decent experience. Was here with 13 others so a large table. Just found it interesting that they close the kitchen and everything so early (9pm and this was the 22nd of Jan). The plated dishes were good. My steak was decent but I asked for medium and got medium-well. My wife had the fish and this was so good I was jealous. Friend had a burger and it looked good. The rest of the table had the buffet and everyone seemed to be a little underwhelmed. It's really great value for money but the food was average from what the others said. Overall, a good experience at a really great price. Would come again purely for value.

Was not a fan of the interior of the restaurant; minimal ventilation and poorly lit. However the food redeemed the experience, ribs did not disappoint and the other meals were also good.

From my call to find out if I need to book, till my last dessert, I was satisfied. A very friendly Lerato on the phone, promised me a lovely dinner, and that I got. There are not many buffet restuarants where the roast's are succulent and juicy. Many places I found it to dry. Love the selection on the buffet and they have eishbein for R99 per kg. Good value for money. Staff are super friendly and very professional. Come here if you are hungry. Will definitely come again. They can seat 350 people inside and outside and also have a private room with 18 seats. To run a big seater like this successfully, the management must be hands on.
