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 usually make the trip down to London a few times a year and a trip to The Big Easy is typically always on the cards, however the service was so awful we likely won’t be back. Upon arrival we sat at the table for about 10 minutes without anyone coming to acknowledge us or take a drink order, food and drinks were ordered the same time, with both arriving together. My 4 year old son’s food was forgotten as well as two of the side orders. We hadn’t been checked on and had to flag down a staff member to ask for our son’s food. No one checked how the food was until well after we finished, we were never offered a second drink, nor were we offered desserts. We had also asked for a scoop of ice cream with a candle as we were celebrating a birthday, that was also forgotten and we hadn’t to go down and ask again for this. Our table was left dirty after we finished for quite some time until a manager cleared our plates, but didn’t not clear any of the unused side plates or dirty napkins. We then sat waiting for either desert menus or the bill and when neither came we had to ask another server for the bill. This was on a quiet night which most staff seemed more interested in watching Sundays premier league highlights, than providing any level of service. Our bill was not modified for missing orders that did not come out until later and of course, the 12.5% service was still included.

    Nice vibe, good food, not cheap but good portion size. It wasn’t overwhelmingly fabulous… it was ‘ok’… food as you would expect. Very attentive staff. All in all a good experience.

    So we arrived in the late afternoon and the atmosphere was quiet and you felt very secluded which was quite great so we could have a conversation with not too many people around to decor and everything else is spot on just the food was a little bit of a let down I got the 30 wings couldn't finish them and I believe they were overcooked and dry, best thing about this place was service

    The bar service was awful - we waited 15 minutes for each round of drinks. The food was lukewarm and overall very average

    Food was not very hot. We was sat next to the food return area which is not nice. Staff.... No one asked if our food was OK. Not asked if we would like desert. And the restaurant was empty. Overall not a great experience.

    Such high expectations dashed by poor service, main course was cold and the final main dish (of 4 people) arrived after everyone else had finished the meal. During our time at the table we had to ask for service as no one came to check on us, we just felt as if we had to fend for ourselves :-(
