About The Hickory Shack Simons Town

The Hickory Shack offers a standout authentic Texas-style BBQ experience in Cape Town, with popular locations in Simon's Town and Bergvliet. The menu is centered on slow-smoked meats like 30-hour brisket, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, and spicy Texas link sausages, all prepared with a traditional dry rub and no artificial flavors. Beyond the heavy carnivore favorites, diners rave about the "Twinklies"—cream cheese-stuffed jalapeños wrapped in honeyed bacon—and the unique smoked New York cheesecake for dessert. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxed, often featuring live music and a selection of craft beers and ciders from their on-site brewery, Charlie’s Garage, making it a perfect spot for generous family-style feasting.
