This part of KZN is a tough place to find a good eating venue. I'd all but given up when I came across Butcher Boys. It was such a pleasant surprise. The steaks are incredibly well prepared. The menu has excellent variety for every taste and they have a very competent wine selection. The service is very good as well.... More

We always enjoy our food there - it is fresh, the meat is done just right - I wonder where they are going to move to with the imminent renovations to the Heritage Market.

These guys have been around for ages, but the past few years i feel like there standards have dropped. their meat was always perfectly aged and always cooked well but when you go now it's a lucky packet.
