For those who said that the ribs are 'amazing', 'awesome' or whatsoever terms that compliments, hands down, you're pretty naive. The ribs here are dry and the seasoning I choose tastes rather simple and extremely mild, it's as if the ribs are seasoned right before it's grilled, not marinated hence doesn't taste as good as it smells. Everything is served... More

This restaurant has just opened after some renovation work. It looks better than before. However, the food is still as bad and expensive. We had a full rack pork ribs, which came in a little smaller than we would like. They are probably using piglet. The meat was not tasty. It just taste like bland meat and tomato sauce. Really...

I would say this is the place for ribs in Penang. They have recently renovated and I looks nice. I like the outdoor seating during the weekend and watching the people go by. It is next to the g Hotel and in front of Gurney Plaza so sights are quite nice. Ribs are fall off the bone. Main complaint would... More

Food portions were big. Price wise its value for money for the food portion. Restaurant setting was nice. Food wise, its just okay. They put bbq sauce on virtually everything to the extent you might get sick of bbq sauce for a while.

We had the basic half rack of ribs with two sides, several happy hour beers and dessert. Though definitely not fine dining it was tasty finger licking good ribs. Can't ask for more than that at...

The ribs and burgers are excellent. Lunch time specials well worth it - including bottomless drinks, so you can sit and people watch, enjoying a drink whilst watching the world go by and your dinner digest.

Great for the carnivorous! Love the steaks and the sizes they serve. Not for the small-eaters. The ribs are not to be missed. But would like more variety to the menu though. Located in the midst of the shopping mall, a great place to hang out for lunch and dinner for a great meal with the gang.
