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 arrived with 3 children who were starving and it took them over 50 minutes to bring out the food despite us asking several times! When the food did come out it was raw chips for the kids.. which we then had to send back and they eventually replaced with cooked ones. We also ordered mains which were cold and over cooked! If you want a very poorly cooked fried fest for your dinner then this is the place to be but it was an awful experience for us!

    Unfortunately some the food was bland and the chunky chips felt/tasted like they had either been out a while or needed way more cooking, one order was messed up they forgot half a lobster and the filet steak was very grisly- We complained about one of the dishes and the manager did comp it so thank you for that - apart from the chips the boys enjoyed their burger, sirloin and chicken strips - we decided not to stay for dessert and went elsewhere - was expecting better if Im honest especially for the price

    Every Christmas Eve we go to big easy to eat , but this year wasn’t too good , first was the service , I thing the waitress was in hurry to go home so she was serving very bad , not given too much attention, second me and my son we order 1.5 lbs lobster but knowing a lot about lobster ( because I was born in Boston U.S.A ) and we usually eat lots of lobster, this wasn’t 1.5 Lbs , never never , and Carolina pulled pork that my wife order wasn’t too good also , the atmosphere was very good and the price is average for this time of the year, so for next year we don’t know if we gonna go again !
