If you want to do Sunday lunch at the Hickory Shack (just outside Grabouw) then you had best reserve a table - despite being in the middle of nowhere it is almost always busy! #hickoryshack #sundaylunch #thehickoryshack #grabouw #elgin (at The Hickory Shack)

Just in case you were wondering what the brisket at Hickory Shack here in the Elgin Valley looked like. (Ignore the sauces, those are my unskilled additions!) #brisket #thehickoryshack #sundaylunch #hickoryshack #grabouw #elgin #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican (at The Hickory Shack)

This mounted skull is without a doubt the most photographed thing at the Hickory Shack by far! #skull #smokehouse #hickoryshack #grabouw #elginvalley #southafrica (at The Hickory Shack)

Difficult not to find this bright red, vintage Chevy Apache pickup truck (or bakkie as we would call it) cool. Parked outside of its Hickory Shack home as always. #chevy #chevrolet #apache #pickuptruck #hickoryshack #grabouw #elgin #southafrica (at The Hickory Shack)

American animated TV shows taught me as a child that apple trees are big and round with massive trunks - which is exactly the opposite then of these tiny trees laden with ripe juicy apples! (Spotted on Thandi Estate next to the Hickory Shack) #apples #appleorchard #orchard #elginvalley #grabouw #thandiestate #hickoryshack #southafrica (at The Hickory Shack)

You know how it goes. Go for lunch to a place specifically selected because it has a bit of space for the kids to run around and play, and of course, they opt to cling like limpets to you for the entire duration of your stay! (My brisket WAS pretty good though!) #sundaylunch #brisket #pit #hickoryshack #grabouw #elgin #southafrica (at The Hickory Shack)
