    Burgers and Shakes to die for.

    Visited Cape Town on 25th May just for the week and ate here at Gibson's a few times. Wonderful food, great service. No complaints. Recommended if you are staying in Cape Town.

    Milkshake selection is the largest i have seen

    Their milkshake menu is a feat on its own and worth a taste!! Their burgers are amazing. I had the mexican burger with a mint shake. Try for yourself!

    Great burgers and beer

    Gibson’s serves tasty burgers and a variety of sides. You can always switch all patties to a vegetarian option. Friendly staff, great burgers. Top!

    Skip the Burger, get a Milk Shake instead

    Gibson's has a large selection of burgers, of course, but an even better selection of milk shakes. The burgers were too small for the bun and if I was craving a burger in the V&A Waterfront area, I'd go inside the market and get one...More
