Poorboys Sinoville is a casual grill and takeaway in Pretoria with burgers, ribs, wings, chicken, fish, steak, schnitzel, hot meals, vegetables, family combos and daily specials. Its menu is built around large portions and familiar comfort food rather than a single speciality.
Prices in this guide were checked in September 2026 on current Uber Eats and Mr D listings. Examples include a 300g T-bone around R180, 12 buffalo wings R146, large fish and chips R130 and an approximately 900g eisbein R247. The platforms sometimes differ by several rand before their fees.

Current daily specials
The Uber listing showed Monday's two 70g burgers with medium chips around R103. Tuesday's double rib-cheese burger and chips was also R103, as was Saturday's double crunch chicken burger and chips. These are day-specific offers.
Thursday's saucy steak burger and chips was R110 on Uber and R106 on Mr D. Friday's double bacon, egg and cheese burger with chips was R125. The small platform differences matter less than the final fee and delivery distance.
A special is valuable only on its stated day and while available. Confirm patty size, included chips and choice of sauce. An old advertisement should not be treated as a standing offer.
Combo 1
Combo 1 contains a 300g T-bone, six sticky or buffalo winglets and chips. It was R195 on Mr D and R200 on Uber. This is a substantial individual meal or a possible share for two lighter eaters.
The steak and wings may use different sauces, so ask which choices are available. Bone forms part of a T-bone's listed weight. The six winglets also contain bone, making raw gram and piece counts an imperfect measure of edible meat.
Fish and family combos
Combo 2 offers four medium hake portions and 1.2kg chips for around R365 on Mr D. Combo 8 combines two medium fish, two Russians, two Viennas and 1.2kg chips for about R375. These suit a group that wants traditional takeaway food.
Combo 3 contains four medium Russians, four medium Viennas, 1.2kg chips and a 1.25-litre Coke. It was R365 on Mr D and R376 on Uber. Processed meats may contain pork or other ingredients, so ask when dietary restrictions apply.
For four people, these boxes cost roughly R91 to R94 per person before fees. Appetite and portion size determine whether four people are realistic. Add salad or vegetables for balance rather than only more chips.
Burger and chicken family combo
Combo 4 includes two beef burgers, two chicken burgers, one large chips and a two-litre Coke. It was R350 on Mr D and R364 on Uber. Divided among four diners, that is about R87.50 to R91 each before platform fees.
Check whether cheese or special toppings are included. The combo is strongest value when the group wants the fixed mix. If three diners want beef and one wants no meat, separate ordering may be more practical.
Rib and wing combo
Combo 5 contains about 400g spare ribs, twelve sticky winglets and large chips. It was around R350 on Mr D. This can feed two hungry adults or more light eaters, depending on bone weight and sides.
Ask about rib basting and wing flavour. Sweet or hot sauces affect both preference and allergens. For delivery, sauced meat travels better than very crisp fried food, although chips still soften in steam.
Rib burger combo
Combo 6 supplies four rib burgers and large chips for around R300 on Mr D. That is a planning food cost of R75 per burger-and-chip share before fees. Confirm whether “rib burger” uses a formed rib patty or pulled rib meat.
This box does not list a large drink in the current Mr D description, unlike Combo 4. Add beverage cost when comparing them. A cheaper food combo can become similar after drinks.
Pork chop and chicken combo
Combo 7 contains two 150g pork chops, one quarter chicken and chips. It was R175 on Mr D and R185 on Uber. It works for two people who are comfortable sharing different meats.
This combo is unsuitable for diners avoiding pork. Shared grill contact may also matter for religious or allergy reasons. Confirm current preparation rather than assuming separate equipment.
Ribs and eisbein
An approximately 900g eisbein was R247 on Uber. Eisbein is a pork knuckle with significant bone, skin and fat, so the listed weight does not equal 900g of lean meat. It is a large, rich order suited to a strong appetite or sharing.
Three 100g short braai ribs with chips and a 440ml Coke were around R170. Rib sections vary in bone and edible meat. Compare the full meal rather than price per gram.
Rib combinations can be good value, but leftovers need prompt refrigeration. Reheat cooked pork until properly hot and avoid repeatedly warming the same portion.
Winglets
A full twelve-winglet portion was R146 on the current Uber listing. Winglets can be a main with a side or a shared starter. Confirm whether chips are included, as the featured item description did not show them.
Sauce choice changes heat and sweetness. Order different flavours separately where possible so one sauce does not coat the entire box. Provide napkins and a place for bones when serving a group.
Flame-grilled chicken
The current menu includes flame-grilled chicken and chicken meal packs. Price depends on quarter, half or whole bird, sauce and sides. A meal pack can offer better family value than buying pieces separately.
Ask whether the chicken is mild, hot or basted and whether sauce can be separate. Thick portions should be fully cooked. For collection, keep the box upright and eat promptly.
Schnitzel meals
Chicken schnitzel with mash and vegetables was R156 on Uber, while Cheddamelt chicken schnitzel was R160. The small difference makes preference more important than price.
Cheddamelt adds cheese and likely a creamy component. Both schnitzels are crumbed and therefore usually contain gluten. Ask about shared fryer oil and sauce ingredients when allergies matter.
The Mr D Homey Schnitzel is R100 with mash or chips, vegetables and sauce. This lower channel/category price may refer to a smaller or simpler serving. Compare descriptions rather than assuming it is identical to the R156 meal.
Homey meals
Homey meals package a main with vegetables and starch. Schnitzel is around R100, quarter chicken and pork chop R108, and medium fish R113. These are among the clearest complete-meal values on the current listing.
The fish comes with vegetables and mash or chips and salad. Chicken can use rice and vegetables or chips and salad. Confirm the exact choice screen because selecting one set may remove another.
Fish dishes
Large fish and chips was R130 on Uber. A large fish, Russian and chips was R182. The R52 difference adds processed meat and may increase the portion enough for sharing.
Ask whether the fish is hake, whether it is battered, and which size is being ordered. Fried fish is best eaten soon after preparation. Delivery time softens the crust, so collection may produce better texture.
Steak and grills
A 300g T-bone was R180 and a 200g rump R182 on Uber. Similar prices do not mean similar edible weight or tenderness. T-bone includes bone and two muscles, while rump is boneless and firmer.
Choose doneness clearly and ask which side and sauce are included. A delivery steak continues cooking in its container. Dining in or prompt collection gives better control.
Schwarmas
Chicken and rib schwarma meals were R149.90, while beef was R157.90 on Mr D. Each included chips, a 440ml Coke and a choice of sauce. This makes them complete-meal prices rather than wrap-only amounts.
Ask what “rib” means in the filling and whether beef, chicken and pork share equipment. Sauces can contain egg, dairy or gluten. A pita also contains gluten unless a verified alternative is offered.
Beef curry and vegetables
Beef curry with rice was R130. Mash, creamed spinach, carrots, pumpkin and rice were each around R36.90 as vegetable or starch sides. These allow a diner to build a home-style meal beyond fried food.
Two extra vegetables add R73.80 before fees. Check whether the main already includes vegetables. Duplicating included sides is an easy way to overspend.
Burgers and burger combos
The menu contains regular burgers, chicken burgers, rib burgers and burger combos. Price depends on patty number, cheese, bacon, egg and chips. The daily specials provide the clearest current burger examples from R103 to R125 with chips.
Compare patty weights. Monday's two 70g burgers differ from a double burger with two 100g patties. A larger count of buns is not automatically more meat.
Breakfast and toasties
Breakfast and toasted sandwiches remain active categories, but complete current prices were not exposed in the search result. Use the live platform menu at the selected time. Breakfast categories may disappear after a cutoff.
Ask whether coffee or chips are included and whether sausage contains pork. Toasties can provide a smaller, lower-cost option than a full grill meal.
Kids meals
The Kiddies Corner is intended for smaller appetites. Confirm the main, side, drink and toy or dessert rather than assuming a standard bundle. Children may not need an adult combo.
Check bones, spice and portion temperature. Keep allergy-sensitive meals separate from shared family boxes.
Drinks and sides
A 440ml soft drink starts around R26.90, Powerade is R28, Appletizer R32 and two-litre soft drink R49. Chips start around R38.90. Size selection raises the chip total.
A large combo often includes one drink. Count the litres before buying extra bottles. Individual drinks provide choice but cost more per person.
Sample budget for one
A Homey meal costs about R100 to R113 before fees. A daily burger special is R103 to R125. A beef curry is R130, and a schwarma meal with drink is R149.90 to R157.90.
Steak or schnitzel with a drink creates a likely subtotal around R180 to R210. Eisbein moves above R247 before beverage. Choose the portion that matches appetite rather than ordering the heaviest item for perceived value.
Sample budget for two
Combo 1 at R195 to R200 can be shared by lighter eaters, though it offers only one steak. Combo 7 at R175 to R185 has three meat portions and chips. Two separate Homey meals cost about R200 to R226.
For equal portions, separate meals are simpler. For variety, a combo works better. Add fees and drinks before deciding.
Sample budget for four
Combo 4 costs R350 to R364 and gives four burgers, chips and a large drink. Combo 2 costs around R365 for fish and chips. Combo 3 costs R365 to R376 for Russians, Viennas, chips and Coke.
These plans sit around R88 to R94 per person before fees. Add vegetables or salad when the group wants balance. Check whether one large chips is enough for four strong appetites.
Delivery versus collection
Mr D and Uber show different item prices and fees. Build the same basket in both apps, then compare the final total and estimated journey. A R5 item saving can disappear under a higher service fee.
Collection protects fried texture and steak doneness. Check every container before leaving. Delivery offers convenience and order tracking, but food quality depends on distance and traffic.
Allergens and dietary requirements
The menu handles pork, beef, chicken, fish, dairy, egg, gluten and soy. Shared grills and fryers can create cross-contact. Notify the restaurant directly before ordering, especially for a serious allergy.
Vegetable sides do not prove a vegan kitchen. Creamed spinach contains dairy, and mash may use butter or milk. Ask about ingredients and preparation.
How to get better value
Order the day-specific special only after confirming it is active. Compare combo contents with separate prices and count drinks and sides. Choose collection when platform fees outweigh convenience.
Homey meals provide predictable complete plates. Group combos reduce per-person cost when everyone accepts the fixed mix. Avoid buying extra chips when 1.2kg is already included.
Final ordering advice
Mr D versus Uber Eats examples
Combo 1 was R195 on Mr D and R200 on Uber, a R5 food-price difference. Combo 7 was R175 and R185, a R10 difference. Combo 4 was R350 and R364, a R14 difference. Those gaps are visible before delivery, service and promotional adjustments.
The cheapest platform for one basket may not be cheapest for another. A membership can reduce delivery, a promotion can apply to selected items, and distance can change the fee. Put the same customised order into both baskets and continue to the last review screen without paying.
Compare estimated arrival as well as rand total. Saving R10 is less attractive if the order takes much longer and includes chips or fried fish. Collection is another benchmark when the restaurant is nearby.
Choosing between a special and a standard meal
A daily special limits choice in exchange for price. Monday's small burgers suit someone who wants two compact portions, while Tuesday's rib burger and Saturday's chicken burger target different tastes. Thursday's saucy steak burger and Friday's bacon-egg-cheese burger are richer.
Check whether the special allows sauce changes, removed toppings or side substitutions. A paid change can narrow the saving. If the advertised meal contains an ingredient you do not eat, choose a standard meal rather than buying a deal and discarding part of it.
Do not assume a special runs on public holidays. The app should show it as orderable, but direct confirmation is sensible when travelling specifically for it. Availability can also end if stock is exhausted.
Building a balanced family order
Start with one main serving for each person, then inspect the included chips and drinks. Combo 4 already has four burgers, large chips and two litres of soft drink. Add vegetables or salad for balance, not a second large chips by habit.
Combo 2 supplies four fish portions and 1.2kg chips but no listed large drink. Compare its complete family total after adding beverages. Combo 3 includes the drink but uses Russians and Viennas rather than fish. Preference and dietary needs should decide between them.
For mixed ages, a group combo may oversupply adults or undersupply teenagers. Use one combo as the base and add a Homey meal or kids item for the person whose needs differ. This is usually clearer than buying two large fixed boxes.
Ordering for an office or sports group
Burger combos divide more easily than steak or eisbein. Confirm that every burger is individually wrapped and label beef and chicken. Order sauces separately when people have different heat preferences. Ask how much notice a large order requires.
For ten people, two Combo 4 boxes provide eight burgers, so they are insufficient without two more mains. Three boxes provide twelve burgers and may create leftovers. A custom burger order plus shared chips may match the headcount more closely.
Assign one person to collect and count boxes. Keep hot food insulated but allow fried items enough ventilation to avoid excessive steam. Serve promptly and provide a clear place for wrappers and bones.
Steak ordering details
Ask whether listed weights are raw, as restaurant steak weights commonly are. Cooking removes moisture, and bone contributes to T-bone weight. A 300g T-bone can therefore provide a similar edible portion to a smaller boneless steak.
Rump has a firmer texture and strong beef flavour. T-bone combines sirloin and fillet around the bone, so the two sides may cook slightly differently. Choose doneness based on the cut and state it clearly.
For takeaway, consider how long the steak will remain in a hot container. Do not request unsafe undercooking to compensate for travel. Collection near the promised time and immediate eating provide the best result.
Making fish and chips travel better
Choose the closest channel and avoid scheduling delivery far in advance when traffic is uncertain. Fried batter releases steam, which softens both fish and chips. If the restaurant offers sauce separately, keep it off the crust until eating.
On arrival, open the box briefly if safe to release steam. Do not place paper or packaging in an oven unless it is rated for heat. Reheat on a suitable tray and follow food-safety guidance rather than using a low temperature for a long time.
Using vegetable sides
At R36.90 each, two vegetable sides add R73.80 and three add R110.70. Mash and rice are starches, while spinach, carrots and pumpkin broaden the vegetables. Pick sides that complement the main instead of ordering one of each automatically.
Creamed spinach and mash can contain dairy. Pumpkin may include sugar or butter. Ask about recipes when nutrition, vegan requirements or allergies matter. “Veggies” describes the category and does not certify the preparation.
Understanding portion language
Terms such as medium fish, large chips, quarter chicken and full winglets are store categories rather than universal measurements. Use the description and weight where supplied. Ask the restaurant when feeding a fixed number of guests.
A combo can appear enormous because of boxes and bones. Estimate edible portions: one burger per person, one fish portion per person, or a stated meat serving. Chips are shared bulk food and should not be counted as the main protein.
Leftovers and storage
Refrigerate cooked meat, fish, rice and vegetables promptly. Divide a large box into shallow containers so it cools evenly. Do not leave an eisbein or family combo on the counter for several hours.
Reheat only the amount that will be eaten and bring it fully hot. Fried food will not return perfectly to its first texture, but an oven or air fryer may perform better than a microwave. Follow appliance and food-safety instructions.
Rice needs particular care because spores can survive cooking and multiply when it remains warm for too long. Chill it promptly and reheat thoroughly once. Discard food when storage time or temperature is uncertain.
Checking the delivered order
Match the receipt to the number of containers, drinks, sides and sauces immediately. Check customised burgers and dietary labels before distributing food. Photograph a missing or damaged item before rearranging the boxes.
Use the platform support process for delivery errors and contact the restaurant for ingredient questions. Report problems promptly. Keep the order number available until the issue is resolved.
