Lefty's

We were walking around looking for a place to eat. Ended up walking down this street that was not lit. Seen this place and came in. My first thought was it was going to be some dodge place, but it turned out to be a really cool place. Food was fantastic. Ribs were amazing with a very large portion for a single. Love the shoe string fries which have been hard to find in capetown and the double burger was excellent.

I went to this laid back restaurant with a friend on a lazy Friday evening, to see what the hype was surrounding this place. We were there during Happy Hour, but the bar was closed as they had a training session for a new bartender - I wasn't stressed because I was doing a 10km run the next day. The food didn't take too long to arrive, even though they were short staffed. Ordering during Happy Hour meant we got a nice discount on the burgers and we could splurge AND get the ribs! The ribs were smoky and well seasoned but they tasted so tough. Some of the meat was tender with a nice char while others were burnt and as chewy as liquorice. I managed what I could (was not letting my money go to waste). The burgers were juicy and had a nice basting sauce. They were much better! I always check out bathrooms, and it was pleasantly clean. The outdoor seating is great for smoking or if you would love to be closer to the bar. The bar looked well stocked, but I'm not much of a drinker. From the outskirts, you expect greasy pub grub but get so much more than that. Lefty's is very quirky and its quirk is best enjoyed with friends. *our waiter - Jeandré was a darling, and he earned Lefty's an extra star. Although he was the only one on shift, he made sure we were looked after. Thanks, doll!

I use Uber Eats for convenience. Lefty is a real great option for burgers with fries. The food standards are really high, and I am always happy with my orders. My first order at Lefty really impressed me. I was rather concerned with the pricing of a simple burger and fries, however this was soon justified as I opened my first order. I can only say, that was one damn good burger. I would say I have ordered around 10 to 15 times, all being positive experiences. I can't really complain. If the burgers were to drop in price, maybe around the R80 mark, I'm sure more people would order. I would also love to see larger portions of fries, maybe packed separately. All in all, I would recommend ordering from Lefty for that special meal, or when you want to treat yourself.
