Sunday Rib Specials & Ocean Views: Ribs @ Hops Riverside & Ballito
When the craving for sticky, slow-cooked ribs hits along the KZN coast, Hops Restaurant & Bar delivers big portions paired with front-row sea and river views.
Whether you’re grabbing a table at the vibrant Hops Ballito right on the beach or heading to Hops Riverside along the Umgeni, it’s a local favorite for relaxed, cold-beer-and-ribs dining.
What Makes Hops Ribs a Go-To
- Fall-off-the-Bone Tender: Pork ribs glazed in a rich, sweet, and smoky basting sauce, grilled until sticky and caramelized.
- Massive Portions: Served in hearty half-rack or full-rack options, usually accompanied by crispy chips, onion rings, or a side salad.
- Rib & Wing / Steak Combos: Perfect if you’re looking to double up with flame-grilled chicken wings or a sirloin steak for a proper feast.
- Weekly Specials: Hops frequently runs mid-week and weekend food specials—keep an eye out for their popular rib-and-draught combos.
