About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
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.

    We visited the restaurant for my Father’s birthday. The food was pretty good, similar to other chain restaurants but the service we received wasn’t the best. We were served quickly but little things were missed so it wasn’t memorable in a good way.

    Wasn’t told mains didn’t come with any sides so when my husband ordered a steak, was t asked if he wanted fries/any sides so just a steak on a plate came out. Steak wasn’t cooked to his order, but was rectified quickly. £30 for a steak with no chips/fries is insane. When the reordered steak arrived and my husband asked if it came with sides the server just said “NO” and walked off. Was recommended this place by a family member. Wished we’d gone next door to Gordon Ramsey. The only decent value was the kids meal.
