BBQ & Lobstershack. We're a local institution, with an international following, this powerhouse of a restaurant is set over 2 huge floors in Covent Garden boasting a 9m wow factor bar on the ground floor & a more intimate speak-easy style shelter bar on the lower deck.

We proudly offer a large slice of easy going living, inspired by the Gulf Coast, with live bands 7 nights week, a friendly welcoming atmosphere, fresh cocktails, ice cold beers and generous portions of
good old home-style cooking offering Home-Smoked BBQ & Fresh East Coast Lobsters.

Fast forward to today and we continue to uphold those time-honoured traditions; social occasions of the bygone age, friends getting together over great fresh food, plentiful drinks and music - these never go out of fashion.

    Have dined here before as a work event, was very impressed on first visit. This time was different however. The servers and service was fine, nothing to complain about. Food however, one of our party got the wrong meal, it was then brought out as a well done steak instead of a medium steak. She ate this as she was hungry and had been waiting for a long period of time at this stage. One of the party found a hair in their macaroni cheese. And on top of that, the special request was ignored/ not mentioned. Probably won’t return. Food was reasonably good value though.

    Sunday afternoon … we had surf&turf - steak and half lobster with unlimited drinks. Super nice steak, decent lobster for the money, vivid atmosphere… I would recommend and will definitely go back. Very good value.

    After many visit to different Big Easy this was a total disappointment. Took well over half hour just to get a drink order and then 1 hour 45 mins for our food to be served of which half was cold. Considering the money we were spending very little to no interaction with the staff to keep us update with what was going on. Will we back probably not to Covent garden but other we may go back but definitely not for a while.

    Food was good, great atmosphere, drinks were good but massively let down by the staffing. They were spread too thin and massively overbooked.

    Booked for 5:45pm, seemed very disorganised when we arrived and no table ready for us. Asked to get a drink at the bar and wait until the table was ready. Waited at the bar and got no service, around 10 minutes waiting. Table was ready. Food was good, but very expensive for what you get. £23 for Brisket that doesn’t come with any fries. Had to ask for the bill three times before they brought it. Was in a rush for a show and it caused us to rush. Staff were incredibly rude, the hostess barged past us when we were trying to leave. Very poor, won’t return. £90 for two main courses and a drink each.

    Was here as a group of 4 friends yesterday. The lady that greeted us was miserable so we were a little worried. The atmosphere changed once we were seated and had the lovely Mikey looking after us. We opted for the bottomless brunch. The food was lovely and the drinks were flowing and Mikey ensure that our glasses were never empty. We would definitely return.

    Was wary of visiting due to bad reviews but we are so glad we did. Food was spot on and our server Joao was very attentive. Will definitely visit again!

    I have been wanting to go the the Big Easy for quite some time, we enjoy BBQ and this place had been recommended to us by friends. We had a really good experience, all of the food and drink was spot-on and the service from Krupa was excellent. We took advantage of some of the weekday lunchtime deals available which I have to say represent extremely good value. Very reasonably priced for any kind of venue let along one based in the centre of London.....and none of us left hungry. Would definitely go back.
