Butcher Boys, Ethekwini

What is it with the food being over salted? We did not add any salt to our food at the table however my daughter couldn’t eat her calamari as it was so salty. It was explained to us that the batter came like this and that she should choose something else from the menu. This was soooo disappointing as we had taken her out for her birthday and we had to send it back. Even the garlic loaf had salt on top and my meal of fillet steak, chips, cheese and mushroom sauce also tasted salty. However the fillet steak on its own was absolutely delicious. The spareribs were not meaty and no finger bowl was provided. The service was excellent however it very off-putting to have the waitresses looking extremely harassed whilst rushing around at top speed. This left one feeling very rushed, certainly not a relaxing atmosphere at all.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food was amazing and we were spoilt for choice. The service was fantastic even though we had to sit at the bar because it was packed and we didn't have reservations. I would sit on the floor if I had to. My only regret is that we were only in Durban for a few days so I couldn't try everything on the menu. But I made my way through it fairly well. The Kudu was fantastic, the Boerie Bites incredible and the Malva Pudding to die for. I want to live in that restaurant.

The kudu served is tremendous! Order it medium-rare!

Butcher boys grill is the most excellent restaurant I have ever been to, it has fantastic food, service, ambiance and value for money. I have never quite found a restaurant anywhere in the world with the same or similar qualities as does butcher boys grill in florida road, morningside. I would recommend a visit to anyone and everyone! Great all round!
