South Side Grills

In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick heads to Soweto, Johannesburg, specifically Protea Glen, to visit Southside Grills and meet Hloni Motaung, a young entrepreneur building one of the most exciting grill brands in South Africa.

Southside Grills has become a must-visit Soweto food destination, known for massive portions, bold flavours, quality ingredients, and an unforgettable street food experience. Hloni’s journey from starting with a small trailer to running a fast-growing grill business is a powerful story of passion, resilience, and purpose.

Nick dives into the food that’s made Southside Grills famous, tasting his way through one of the most indulgent menus in Johannesburg.

Nick eats

  • The legendary Southside burger stacked with rib patties, beef patties, cheese, egg, and loads of sauce
  • A fully loaded grill wrap packed with flavour and crunch
  • Sticky, smoky pork ribs falling right off the bone
  • Crispy, saucy chicken wings
  • The insane Bazooka, a monster loaf filled with steak, Russians, eggs, cheese, and sauce that’s quickly becoming a Joburg food legend

We also hear Hloni’s inspiring story – from getting his first start with support from his mother, to pushing through loss, and building a business that aims to inspire young people in Soweto through hard work, discipline, and belief.
