Our favourite new casual dining restaurant is Ribs & Burgers in The Marc, Sandton. We love the casual vibe of the setting, the comfy booths and tables and the indoor/outdoor lay-out. It's obviously influenced by the American diner concept but it's not a slavish carbon copy.
Service is quick and unobtrusive and there’s plenty of options to choose from on the menu. Obviously, the name would indicate that they specialise in ribs and burgers. We haven't tried the ribs yet but if you’re a fan of burgers you’ll be spoiled for choice and you should be happy with whatever you get. Just be careful to let them know how you want yours done as they don't always ask.
The handcut fries are chunky, crispy and golden. Generous portions. The milkshakes good and thick and not over-sweet -- the coffee is the one I always go for and it's got good strong flavour.
Add reasonable prices to the above and it's a no-brainer if you want a good meal that won't break the bank.

A good couple of weeks ago I joined a friend for an early dinner at Ribs & Burgers at The Marc in Sandton. This wasn't my time at Ribs and Burgers (we've been to the branch at Menlyn Maine a while ago, but it was my first visit to this relatively new shopping centre.
The name is RIBS and Burgers, but I had such a serious burger craving, I didn't even look at the ribs on the menu. Side note: I must go back for that! We shared an order of 'loaded fries' - super fresh and delicious. We finished it in a matter of minutes!
So, I know I want a burger, but which one? In the end I settled on the Mighty Big Cheese (200g beef patty, American cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, mustard, BBQ and pink sauce). That was EXACTLY what I was craving! I am not a fan of HUGE burgers – and this burger was the perfect size. Super tasty, the beef patty was very well cooked, so juicy. We shared a side of onion rings, super yum!
And then I noticed the milkshake menu.... And how can I possibly ignore it (no matter how much I already had to eat....). I simply can't walk past a Salted Caramel milkshake. So that was it, dessert sorted!
And, burger craving sorted!

Up there with the best burger I’ve had anywhere. Perfectly cooked to order. Great flavour, fresh ingredients. Awesome onion rings & good sweet potato fries. only reason not to give a 5 is no table service & limited beer & wine choice. Order at the counter & they bring the meal. That’s after the same person lays the table & explains their “system” doesn’t make sense to me.
