The Smokehouse at River Brewery Victoria Falls

The Smokehouse at River Brewery pairs its own craft beer with a grill menu that runs from smash burgers to game meat. Jeff (July 2026) had the Trio of Game delivered to a hotel room and picked out crocodile alongside what seemed to be ostrich and antelope, calling it “a great choice for those wanting to try meats that aren't the norm”. Tiffany (February 2026) named beef, chicken, crocodile and kudu among the grilled options, with the baked potato a standout side.

The beer draws its own following. S (May 2026) recommended tasting flights before settling on a 300ml or 500ml pour and pointed diners to the loaded brain bread or courgette tempura for vegetarian options, while Deon (April 2026) called the house beers “proper brews”. Waiters get named constantly, including John, Learnmore and Thabani, each credited for attentive service, though Heidi (May 2026) found service slow early on and watched a nearby table's waiter calls get missed during a busy shared-table setup.

Prices split opinion: Lena (July 2026) called them “quite high” while Alex and Buffel found meals reasonably priced, with Buffel's bill for two adults, one starter, two mains and drinks coming to around $65. The Smokehouse is open daily from 12:00 until late.
