BIG EASY COVENT GARDEN REVIEWS

The original of burgers and lobster (american) style in London, UK. The vibe is chilling and good live music, particularly country music! The food is super damn good!! except chicken grill is too dry for us. Many varieties of alcoholic beverages could match and pair your food very well. Book is recommended!!! Please see location of the store when you book because there are many stores in London. We booked the wrong location but luckily the server could provide the table for us during dinner time.

Great atmosphere if you like American bbq bars, live music was great, food was there fast although some parts of it a little cold (not reheated enough) Kid-friendliness: Very good, great kids menu.

Lovely place with happy hour! The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. The music added to the great atmosphere. Will definitely be going here again.

BODEAN'S BBQ SOHO REVIEWS

After eating at Smokestac, this was a very disappointing culinary experience. Being a chain I would question as to whether they BBQ and smoke on site. I ordered half a rack of baby ribs and a cheese burger. Ribs was dry but just ok. The burger was really dry and was like eating cardboard . Burger King would have done a better job. A disappointing experience. The Guardian review mirrors my experince.

Great food, great prices. The pulled pork sandwich is really good and tender and a really reasonable price for the portion size. They also have happy hour which has a great deal for a pitcher of beer which was a bargain and if you don't like beer they do two for one cocktails. Finally the service was very good nice staff with the right amount of attentiveness.

Bodeans was recommended by a friend and the experience was amazing. The food was delicious and exactly as described and the portions were generous. The Blue Plate Special is a bargain! A big thank you to Chantel for the amazing service. Very friendly, kind and passionate. Will definitely come again and highly recommended.

THE BLUES KITCHEN REVIEWS

The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch delivered a fantastic lunch experience with authentic Southern flavors. The fried chicken was outstanding, and the lively atmosphere made it a great spot to enjoy a meal. It's clear they're committed to true Southern cuisine. I can't wait to return, especially in the evening to catch some live music – this place has a great vibe day or night.

What an abbbsolutely awesome restaurant! Had the Schezwan wings, Avocado Tostada and Pork Short Rib and all of them were absolutely top notch! Our server Jordan was engaging and couldn't be more helpful amd the atmosphere in the restaurant and bar had a great vibe. 100% would go here again.

A very reasonable price for bottomless chicken wings. The ambiance is lovely, reminiscent of an American diner. The service is fast and polite.
