At a glance
Second house Grillz is a shisanyama and grill restaurant in Dobsonville Ext 3, Soweto, serving meat cooked over open coals. The menu brings together familiar grill fare and a selection of game meats, giving the venue a distinctly fire-led style that suits diners looking for a hearty meal in the Johannesburg area.
The wild-meat section includes crocodile, springbok, warthog, bush pig and kudu wors. These options sit alongside more familiar choices such as chicken, steak, ribs, fish and burgers. Stews provide a slower-cooked alternative, while wings and quarter, half or full chicken meals offer straightforward options for different appetites.
Meals are paired with classic accompaniments including pap or chips, spicy chakalaka, coslow and green salad. The menu also includes shareable platters built around a selection of grilled meats, making the restaurant a practical choice for groups who want to order several items for the table. Individual portions are available as well, so the menu works for both a shared meal and a simpler plate.
The atmosphere is shaped by the open-coal cooking style and the informal character associated with shisanyama. Smoke, grilled meat and fire are central to the experience, while the range of game meats adds something less conventional to the usual chicken, beef and burger selection. Diners interested in trying crocodile, springbok or other South African game flavours can find those options alongside everyday grill favourites.
Located on Malalane Street in Dobsonville Ext 3, the restaurant is positioned within Soweto and serves the surrounding community through dine-in, collection and delivery orders. Orders can be arranged through WhatsApp, with delivery available on a distance-based basis. The venue also accepts table bookings, making advance contact useful for planned group meals or occasions where a table is preferred.
Second house Grillz suits meat-focused diners, groups sharing around the grill and anyone looking for a casual meal built around coals, pap, chips and traditional sides. Its combination of game meat, chicken, seafood, burgers, ribs and stews gives the menu enough variety for mixed groups while keeping the central focus on grilled food.
