  • 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.

    The food was very good. The beer was cold. But the restaurant closed too early for a Saturday night.

    The food was alright. We had a brisket sandwich and chips and that was pretty good. The Caesar salad itself was a decent portion but the chicken was very dry and not great. Service was a bit slow but they were all nice. The bathrooms were in terrible condition.

    We had a good evening meeting here with some friends. The service was good. Friendly and efficient but we never felt rushed. The food was good and arrived in good time. I had the beef brisket and really enjoyed it.

    We had a great time there, the food is always delicious, and we were very well looked after, especially by Paulo who was very attentive and friendly with us. We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!

    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.
