My experience at Gibbs

The food and service was good, the floor manager didn't seem too happy to have us at the restaurant though, she kept on telling us that the food will take long, almost suggesting that we should go to other restaurants

Amazing food, amazing service

Went to Gibsons for the 1st time with my partner and I truly don’t know what took us so long to try it out! The food was exceptionally delicious, the smoothies were to die for and the service we got from Judy was excellent!! She...made our 1st experience so enjoyed and her menu recommendations were spot on! We can’t wait to come back 🤗More

Dillon is a star!

Dropped in at Gibsons for a burger after a boat trip. It was super busy - at least 3 large parties, but that didn’t hinder the service which was brilliant, thanks to Dillon who was a star. He was attentive - despite being rushed off...his feet - and always with a smile. The food was lovely - perfect burger but so big that I couldn’t contemplate dessert. We had two burgers with sides, 3 beers and 2 ciders between us and all for about £40 which is excellent value. Team that with a great location and all in all, made for a fab lunch.More

Come for the ribs, stay for the excellent service.

I have been coming to this Gibson's on the V&A Waterfront for years. It is one of my "must visit" locations. I always come for the BBQ Ribs that come with large, crispy french fries, but the service is wonderful too. This time, I received...spot-on service from Imraan and Matilda. A number of times we asked for the menu back to grab more delicious items for the table. One of these visits, I will have enough room to try one of their wide variety of milkshakes. However, not this time. I was stuffed! It should also be mentioned that you can sit outside and enjoy great views of Table Mountain.More

Wonderful waitress

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Gibson’s. Steak cooked perfectly. Our waitress Maymunah was just delightful and so helpful. She even suggested places to visit and see Christmas trees in December. Thank you Maymunah for making lunch memorable
