About BBQ Food Trucks
South Africa's barbecue food trucks bring the aroma of smoky, char-grilled meats to city streets and festivals. They celebrate the local love of the braai – "South Africa's answer to the barbecue," traditionally cooked over wood and coals for a distinctive flavour– with an on-the-go twist. Expect hearty flavours like flame-grilled boerewors sausages (often served with spicy chakalaka relish), tender ribs and brisket slathered in local marinades, and even flame-roasted chicken wings. Some trucks operate like mobile smokehouses, offering American-style barbecue classics (slow-smoked brisket or pulled pork) alongside South African favourites.
Popular Dishes
Boerewors rolls in a soft bun with chutney or chakalaka, slow-smoked beef ribs or pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce, grilled chicken skewers or wings seasoned with peri-peri or rosemary, beef or game-meat burgers with cheese and bacon.
Events & Venues
BBQ trucks are a hit at outdoor festivals, weekend markets and city carnivals (in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, etc.). They're also common at corporate events, office-park luncheons, weddings and family gatherings (especially on Heritage Day) – anywhere people crave that authentic braai experience.
Whether at a weekend market or Heritage Day celebration, BBQ food trucks bring the beloved South African braai tradition to street food culture with authentic flavors and smoky aromas.
