A friend of mine referred me to Talladega Grill after seeing my posts about another burger joint in Cape Town. I was in the area and decided to give them a try. The option to place your order on WhatsApp is so convenient and that's the route I decided to go with my food order. It also gives you quite an accurate time frame when your order will be ready, my order was ready in 15 minutes as stipulated. Once I got to the location I just had a quick look around of the place inside, it has a nostalgic, American roadhouse-like theme on the inside much like the pitstops you see in some movies. I decided to order myself a banana deluxe milkshake while I waited for my order. The milkshake was okay, no real bananas were used to make it. More of a concentrated banana syrup with gelatinous pieces in it and some yellow sprinkles. The food on the other hand was lovely! I ordered the fully loaded brisket fries which came with a cheese sauce, jalapenos and brisket pieces. It was seasoned really well the brisket was cut in cubes instead of being shredded and the cheese sauce wasn't just an average sauce that tasted more like dairy than actual cheese, it was surprisingly good and complimented the brisket, fries and jalapenos really well. I also ordered the smash and brisket burger with cheese and that too was lovely. Loaded with lots of braised onions and then sliced brisket, a smash patty, cheese, mustard, chipotle mayonnaise and tomato sauce (don't think I found a gherkin on my burger although the menu said there are gherkins on as well). I'm actually surprised the brisket isn't pulled apart, instead it's either cut into slices or cubes as per my burger and loaded fries. I'd love to try a few other things on their menu some time, so they will see me in the near future for sure!
