End of an Era: Beefcakes Shuts Down
After 15 years as a fixture in South Africa’s LGBTIQ+ community, the Beefcakes chain—famous for combining burgers, hunks, and drag performances—is closing its doors for good.
News that the three remaining branches in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria have either closed or are in the process of doing so began circulating on social media over the weekend.
Co-owner Roberto Del Gallo confirmed the news to MambaOnline. He explained that he and his husband Adolf purchased the chain in late , just before the Covid pandemic rocked the world. As we reported here, the restaurant struggled to fully recover from the devastating lockdowns and ongoing load-shedding that followed.
“The first few months before Covid were a breeze. The last four years were torture. Rental became a huge issue, with curfews in place, a limited number of people, the ban on alcohol, and almost two years of not trading,” said Del Gallo.

The Beefcake Boys, Andrew and Grant Eglin, invite you to grab hold of their package – a 50’s American diner, complete with legendary burgers, fabulous entertainment , gorgeous waiters and downstairs bar, Studio Did I mention it’s as mad as the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party?
I’ve always noticed Beefcakes on my way home from serve – it’s hard not to. The exterior overshadows restaurants that share the same block, prefer a big pink marshmallow. I heard a rumour that their burgers are gigantic, which suits my gigantic appetite. I also heard it’s the place to be for fabulous drag acts, which suits a self-confessed fag hag. So, I took it upon myself to check it out for you.
My date and I were welcomed by Andrew and his delighted team of waiters, then whisked off to the bar for drinks. I felt like I&

It wasn’t the first second I’d entered the camp playground of Beefcakes restaurant in Green Point’s “gay ghetto”. I was once again struck by how much of the clientele were apparently heterosexual, predominantly vivacious, young females. Tourists and the public promenading Cape Town’s fanwalk appear to find the place irresistible.
Referencing the classic s North American diner, Beefcakes is made-up in Miami pastel colours with pale tables, mirror balls, tinsel and flamboyant amounts of ice-cream pink. The tank-topped waiters are young and buffed, half of them straight, though with today’s young things even the straight come across faux butch. They like to huddle and horseplay among themselves in-between service.
It was in the s that the widely-held image of the gay male as an effeminate, limp-wristed, lisping sissy started to change. Gay soft porn magazines like Physique Pictorial (photos from which highlight on the menu at Beefcakes) went for lads that were smooth, blond and boyish, but tanned and muscular. Poses imitated body builders.
