"Simply the best ribs and briskets I've eaten in my life . It was sooo good. I took the combo meal Ribs, brisket and sausages and chicken nachos. Ribs and briskets were soo juicy and burst of flavors. The combo meal is for 2 persons. They don't hesitate on quantity, its well served! Very good price for quality and quantity!! Amazing and friendly staffs Thank you Talladega for this amazing experience Will come for more for sure"
"The food was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had the rib, brisket and sausage box and it was more than enough for the two of us. Everything was cooked to perfection. The highlight for us for was their Mac and Cheese balls. I LOVE mac and cheese and this definitely did not disappoint. I will definitely be back again"
"A friend of mine referred me to Talladega Grill after seeing my posts about another burger joint in Cape Town. I was in the area and decided to give them a try. The option to place your order on WhatsApp is so convenient and that's the route I decided to go with my food order. It also gives you quite an accurate time frame when your order will be ready, my order was ready in 15 minutes as stipulated. Once I got to the location I just had a quick look around of the place inside, it has a nostalgic, American roadhouse-like theme on the inside much like the pitstops you see in some movies. I decided to order myself a banana deluxe milkshake while I waited for my order. The milkshake was okay, no real bananas were used to make it. More of a concentrated banana syrup with gelatinous pieces in it and some yellow sprinkles. The food on the other hand was lovely! I ordered the fully loaded brisket fries which came with a cheese sauce, jalapenos and brisket pieces. It was seasoned really well the brisket was cut in cubes instead of being shredded and the cheese sauce wasn't just an average sauce that tasted more like dairy than actual cheese, it was surprisingly good and complimented the brisket, fries and jalapenos really well. I also ordered the smash and brisket burger with cheese and that too was lovely. Loaded with lots of braised onions and then sliced brisket, a smash patty, cheese, mustard, chipotle mayonnaise and tomato sauce (don't think I found a gherkin on my burger although the menu said there are gherkins on as well). I'm actually surprised the brisket isn't pulled apart, instead it's either cut into slices or cubes as per my burger and loaded fries. I'd love to try a few other things on their menu some time, so they will see me in the near future for sure!"
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ Talladega Grill – Cape Town Tried Talladega Grill recently and was pleasantly surprised! The Smash and Brisket Burger was a standout—juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. I also had the Rib Eye Roll on a Brochure Bun; while the steak was slightly tough, the seasoning and overall taste made up for it. What really elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed, upbeat vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into bold flavors and warm hospitality. Will be back to try more from the menu!"
"A few friends have suggested to us that we try the Talladega Grill and we finally made it there. Generally it lived it up to the hype. Love the atmosphere and vibe of the place and they definitely do proper Texas style BBQ. The loaded Brisket fries were incredible and some of the best brisket that we have had in Cape Town. For a starter that was very generous and satisfying portion. That brisket was soft, tender and delicious. The only disappointing part of the meal was that the Chicken strips with the parmesan sauce and coleslaw side were a little overcooked and rather dry. While not inedible they did not compare to the loaded fries.Also they are a little pricey even by Cape Town standards. However despite that we will definitely be visiting again to sample other items on the extensive menu."
"After our pleasant experience with the Telladega Grill food truck we decided to give the restaurant a try and it did not disappoint. Their smoked brisket is the most tender and tasty you will ever experience. At the restaurant they have a wider variety of options including Tex Mex Nachos or Tacos. They also have love milkshakes and soda or mocktails to quench your thirst. Desert options are also available to end your meal on a sweet note. One disappointment was that we couldn’t try the waffle fries as they were sold out but maybe next time. Our waitress was training so the service was not the quickest and she also made a small error with our order. But overall the delicious meal and cool environment was a pleasant experience which we will definitely repeat."
"Amazing! Flavours and everything. We keep coming back for the chilli dog. The taco's were awesome, aswell as the animal style fries. Fast and professional service. Will always be returning to try something different."
"Talladega Grill Food Truck at Constantia Emporium The food at Talladega Grill is really good. The chilli dog and regular fries were enjoyable – the fries were crispy and well-made. The waffle fries, on the other hand, were just okay, and we’d stick to the regular ones next time. The smash and pastrami burger stood out as the best item we tried, with good flavour and a satisfying portion. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it fair value for what you get. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a tasty meal if you’re in the area."
