RocoMamas Menu and Prices in South Africa

RocoMamas is known for smashburgers, wings, pork ribs, loaded sides and highly customisable orders. This guide covers the current South Africa menu, with prices reviewed on 28 September 2026. Limited editions and promotions can change, while delivery apps may charge more than the standard menu.

RocoMamas menu price overview

A burger alone costs roughly R79 to R159 before fries, drinks or custom toppings. A complete ribs-and-wings combo starts at R189. Delivery listings can be materially higher, so compare the full checkout rather than one promotional banner.

Smashburger prices

Old Skool uses a 150 g beef smash with tomato, red onion and RocoMayo. Classic Cheese adds aged cheddar and sweet pickle for R20 more. Rockstar changes the profile with Swiss cheese and caramelised onion.

Cheese and Bacon adds bacon, cheddar and pickle. Mushroom Swizz uses Swiss cheese and mushrooms. Bacon Cheeze Guac combines bacon, cheddar, tomato, guacamole and smoked mayonnaise.

Chilli Cheeze Bomb is the spicy loaded option with bacon, two cheeses, a bomb, fresh chilli and chilli mayonnaise. Double Cheese uses two 100 g patties and two Gouda slices. Slacker is the largest listed burger with three 100 g patties and three Gouda slices.

Slawdaddy uses Southern fried chicken with spicy coleslaw, Gouda, bacon and mayonnaise. It is useful for diners who prefer chicken but still want a loaded burger.

Limited-edition burgers

The current menu also shows time-limited burgers. The Top Don is R69 with Southern fried chicken, pickle, coleslaw and secret sauce. Head Honcho is R82 with chicken, cheddar and mushroom sauce. The King Pin is R119 with two beef patties and Gouda.

Limited editions can end without the standard menu changing. Confirm stock and the final price at the selected branch. A promotion may apply only in-store or through click and collect.

Ribs prices

The 250 g portion costs R50 per 100 g, while 500 g works out to R43.80 per 100 g and 750 g about R41.20. Larger portions provide better weight value, but only if the diner or group needs the food.

Rib prices cover the listed meat portion. Check whether a side is included at the branch or must be added. Delivery photos can show serving suggestions that are not automatically part of the order.

Wings prices

Four wings cost R13.75 each, eight cost about R13.63 each and twelve cost R12.50 each. The twelve-piece order offers the best per-wing value.

Sauce choice affects heat and allergens. Ask about Buffalo, barbecue, peri-peri, lemon pepper and the hottest available sauce. Diners sensitive to spice should request sauce separately when possible.

Ribs and wings combo prices

Combos include Southern barbecue ribs, wings, Stoney onion rings, coleslaw and a side. This makes them easier to budget than separate meat portions plus extras.

The difference between the R329 and R359 combos is R30 for four additional wings. That is cheaper than buying four wings separately at R55, assuming the remaining components are the same.

The R189 combo suits one large appetite or two lighter diners. Larger combos can be shared, but ask about side size before deciding how many people they serve.

Bombs, nachos and macaroni

Chilli-cheese, feta, jalapeño or mixed bombs cost R42 for three and R79 for six. Buying six saves R5 compared with two three-piece orders. Bombs contain cheese and a fried coating.

Nachos Classico costs R75 for half or R130 for full. It includes nacho chips, cheddar, mozzarella, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. The full portion costs R20 less than buying two halves.

Mac and cheese costs R49. Mac'n'Nash is R89 and adds Southern fried chicken in Nashville heat. The second option is more substantial and noticeably spicier.

How to budget for one diner

An Old Skool burger at R79 is the lowest standard burger. Classic Cheese at R99 gives a familiar cheeseburger without moving into the heavily loaded range. Fries and a drink increase the total.

Four wings and Mac and Cheese total R104. Half nachos with four wings cost R130. A 250 g rib portion plus three bombs totals R167 before a side or drink.

Allow R120 to R220 for a moderate meal with a side or drink. Large burgers, combos, dessert and delivery fees can push one person above R250.

Budget for two diners

Two Classic Cheese burgers cost R198 before sides. One R189 rib-and-wing combo plus half nachos at R75 totals R264 and may suit two lighter eaters.

A 500 g rib portion at R219, eight wings at R109 and full nachos at R130 total R458, or R229 each. The R329 combo may offer better value because it bundles similar meat with sides.

Two diners choosing a R129 loaded burger each and sharing six bombs at R79 spend R337 before drinks and fries.

Budget for groups

Four diners can share the R359 combo, full nachos at R130 and two standard burgers at R99 each. The R687 subtotal averages R171.75 per person.

For a wing-focused group, two twelve-piece portions cost R300. Add 750 g ribs at R309 and two sides according to appetite. Compare this with multiple combos before ordering.

Count total wings and rib weight, then divide by the group. Ordering by clear quantities avoids relying on photographs or vague ideas of a platter.

Custom burger ordering

The build-your-own option starts with a beef or chicken base and lets diners add cheese, bacon, sauces, vegetables and other toppings. The final price depends on every selected option.

Review the cart after customisation. Several small toppings can make a custom burger cost more than an existing loaded recipe. Compare it with Bacon Cheeze Guac, Chilli Cheeze Bomb or Mushroom Swizz.

Use required app selections rather than relying only on a note. Branch staff may not be able to honour an unpriced extra written in free text.

Delivery prices versus menu prices

Recent app listings show the four-wing and 250 g rib combo around R246, compared with R189 on the standard menu. This illustrates how platform prices can be higher before delivery and service fees.

Promotional bundles can reduce the difference, but compare identical items and the complete checkout. A discounted app meal may include a drink or fries that are absent from the standard burger price.

Collection can reduce fees. Check branch distance, preparation time and whether the direct click-and-collect offer is available.

Vegetarian and dietary choices

Nachos, Mac and Cheese, feta bombs and selected sides can be meat free. Burger availability for vegetarian diners can vary by branch and current menu configuration.

Meat-free does not mean vegan. Cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and fried coatings contain dairy, egg or gluten. Ask about a plant-based patty and sauce ingredients.

Ribs are pork at standard branches. Halaal branches use a different menu and protein scope. Confirm the exact branch rather than assuming all locations serve identical ribs.

Allergen guidance

Common allergens include wheat, dairy, egg, soy and sesame. Burger buns, fried coatings, macaroni, bombs and onion rings contain gluten unless the branch confirms otherwise.

Tell staff the exact allergy and ask about shared fryers, grills and preparation tools. Removing cheese or sauce does not remove cross-contact.

Takeaway quality

Smashburgers and fried sides are best eaten soon after collection. Steam softens buns, wings, onion rings and fries. Ask for wet sauces separately when a journey is long.

Count wings, check rib weights and confirm every side before leaving. Label hot sauces so children or spice-sensitive diners do not receive them accidentally.

Refrigerate cooked leftovers promptly and reheat thoroughly once. Keep coleslaw and dairy sauces cold and separate from food being reheated.

How to choose the right burger

Old Skool is the clearest choice for diners who want beef without cheese or heavy toppings. Classic Cheese adds cheddar and pickle while staying below R100. Rockstar and Mushroom Swizz suit diners who prefer Swiss cheese and sweeter onion or mushroom flavours.

Cheese and Bacon and Slawdaddy both cost R109, but they are very different. The first uses a beef smash, while Slawdaddy uses Southern fried chicken, coleslaw and bacon. Check the protein rather than choosing by price alone.

Bacon Cheeze Guac and Chilli Cheeze Bomb both cost R129. Guacamole provides a creamy, milder profile. Chilli Cheeze Bomb combines fresh chilli, chilli mayonnaise and a filled bomb, making it the more intense option.

Double Cheese gives two 100 g patties for R129. Slacker uses three patties for R159, so the additional 100 g patty and cheese cost R30 more. These are substantial burgers and may not need several rich sides.

Choosing wing quantities and sauces

Four wings work as a starter or small add-on. Eight wings can serve as an individual main when combined with a side. Twelve wings suit a larger appetite or sharing between two people.

The price increase from four to eight is R54, almost exactly the cost of another four. Moving from eight to twelve costs R41, so the largest portion gives a better incremental price.

When a group wants multiple flavours, ask whether a larger portion can be split between sauces. If the branch cannot split it, order separate four- or eight-wing portions. This can cost more but keeps mild and hot choices apart.

Very hot sauces should be approached carefully. Heat levels are subjective, and promotional challenges can use stronger sauces than the normal menu. Do not order an extreme heat item for another person without their agreement.

Choosing rib portions

The 250 g rib portion is the simplest individual choice. The 500 g portion saves R31 compared with buying two 250 g portions. The 750 g portion saves R66 compared with buying three smaller portions.

Bone weight is part of a rib portion, so 500 g of ribs does not equal 500 g of boneless meat. Appetite, sides and bone size affect how filling a portion feels.

For two diners, 500 g of ribs with full nachos creates a R349 subtotal. For three diners, 750 g ribs with twelve wings costs R459 before sides. A combo may be cheaper when everyone wants the included onion rings and coleslaw.

Standard branches list pork ribs. Diners avoiding pork should check the branch menu for alternatives. Halaal locations operate with a different protein scope and should be researched separately.

Combo value explained

Buying four wings at R55 and 250 g ribs at R125 separately costs R180. The R189 combo adds onion rings, coleslaw and a side for R9 more, making it strong value when the diner wants every included component.

Eight wings and 500 g ribs cost R328 separately, almost the same as the R329 combo. The extra R1 adds the listed sides. Twelve wings and 500 g ribs cost R369 separately, while the combo is R359, saving R10 before considering sides.

These comparisons use standard menu prices and assume combo quantities match the individual portions. Promotions and branch menus can change the calculation. Confirm the current combo contents before ordering.

A combo is less useful when diners dislike coleslaw or onion rings. In that case, separate meat with a preferred side may reduce waste even if the nominal price is similar.

Sides and meal balance

Mac and Cheese, nachos and bombs are rich additions to burgers, ribs and wings. Ordering several together creates a heavy meal dominated by cheese, starch and fried food.

For one person, choose one main and one side. Four wings with Mac and Cheese cost R104. A Classic Cheese burger with half nachos costs R174. Adding both bombs and nachos to a large burger can easily produce leftovers.

For a group, full nachos can act as the shared starter. Bombs provide a smaller snack when the table already plans ribs and wings. Mac'n'Nash is substantial enough to function as a main rather than only a side.

Ask which salads or vegetable sides are currently available if the group wants something fresher. Menu availability varies by branch and season.

Planning a family order

A family of four can combine the R329 combo, two Old Skool burgers at R79 each and half nachos at R75. The R562 subtotal averages R140.50 per person before drinks.

If the family prefers chicken, order twelve wings at R150, two Slawdaddy burgers at R109 each and full nachos at R130. The total is R498. Add fries only after checking what the children will eat.

Children may prefer sauce on the side. Fresh chilli, Nashville heat and the strongest wing sauces can be intense. Ask for mild preparation and label boxes when collecting.

Check bones carefully when serving wings or ribs to young children. Hot cheese inside bombs can retain heat after the coating feels cool.

Planning a group order

Start by counting diners and separating beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian preferences. A group of six can use one large combo, two burgers, full nachos and six bombs as a base order.

The R359 combo, two R109 burgers, R130 nachos and R79 bombs total R786, or R131 per person. This is a planning example; six large appetites will need more food.

For wing fans, three twelve-piece portions provide thirty-six wings for R450. Adding 750 g ribs costs R309, making a R759 meat subtotal. Sides and drinks remain separate.

Place large orders early and confirm the collection time. Ask the branch to label sauces and burgers. Review the receipt before leaving so missing customisations can be corrected promptly.

Comparing dine-in, collection and delivery

Dine-in allows fried food to reach the table quickly and makes missing items easier to fix. It can also involve service charges or tips. Collection avoids many platform fees but requires travel and timely pickup.

Delivery is convenient, though app prices may be higher and travel affects texture. A standard R189 combo has appeared around R246 on delivery platforms. That R57 difference comes before some checkout fees.

A promotion can make delivery competitive, especially when it includes fries and a drink. Read the exact contents and minimum spend. “From” prices can increase after selecting a branch, sauce or drink.

Compare the final totals for the same food. Do not compare a bare burger on the national menu with a delivery meal containing wings, fries and soda.

Limited offers and promotional timing

The menu can advertise collaborations, seasonal burgers and temporary bundles. Some offers show an end date or state “while stocks last.” These should not be presented as permanent prices.

Check whether the offer requires click and collect, dine-in or a particular app. A national advert does not guarantee every branch participates. Public holidays and delivery zones may have separate terms.

If a limited burger is unavailable, compare its protein and toppings with standard choices. The cheapest replacement may not contain the same side or drink.

Nutrition and portion expectations

The public menu does not provide complete calorie data for every custom combination. Exact nutrition claims would therefore be unreliable. Patty count, cheese, bacon, sauces and sides make a large difference.

A simpler burger with one patty generally contains less food than Slacker with three patties. Grilled or sauced meat still carries sodium, while cheese, mayonnaise and fried sides add fat and energy.

Diners managing medical conditions should use professional dietary guidance. Restaurant staff can explain ingredients but may not be able to supply precise nutrition for every customised burger.

Spice guide

Chilli Cheeze Bomb, Nashville-style chicken, jalapeño bombs and hot wing sauces are the obvious spicy choices. Fresh chilli can create uneven heat across a burger.

Classic Cheese, Old Skool, Mushroom Swizz and Mac and Cheese are generally milder. Barbecue sauce is sweeter, though individual tolerance varies.

Ask for chilli mayonnaise or hot sauce separately when sharing. Water does not reduce chilli heat effectively; dairy-based sides may help some diners, but anyone with a medical reaction should seek appropriate assistance.

Making substitutions

Removing tomato, onion or pickle is usually straightforward. Patty changes, gluten-free buns, plant-based choices and sauce substitutions depend on branch stock.

Review every modification on the order screen. A free-text note may not replace a required paid option. If an allergy is involved, speak directly with staff rather than relying only on the app.

Customisation can affect cooking time. Large group orders with many unique burgers are more likely to be confused, so use clear names and check labels.

Common ordering mistakes

The first mistake is assuming fries come with every burger. Standard burger prices may cover only the burger. The second is ignoring delivery markup until checkout.

The third is buying separate ribs and wings without comparing the combo, which can include sides for almost the same price. The fourth is treating a limited offer as permanently available.

Finally, diners sometimes underestimate portion size. A triple-patty burger, bombs and full nachos can be far more food than one person needs. Start with a main and one side.
