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.

    I’ve always been a fan of Big Easy over the years, but something has changed! Whether it’s the upper management staff, the cooks or what? But it did not live up to the standard. Food was dry. LONG wait, 35-40 mins between ordering, the table next door also felt this wait and poor service. My husband had to serve us water for the table as our server forgot. We reminded 2 people about a simple side dish. Toilets were not clean. What brought it home as that we were being over charged by £70 as our server/whoever was manning the till incorrectly added our set meals wrong and did each meal individually. I just dont understand how this was missed, given receipts are checked prior. I can only imagine how many people may have overlooked this.

    Came for the Brunch, there was four of us and we found that the menu wasn’t very clear. The unlimited wings and chicken were dry and we asked for a new plate, this was done quickly but the quality of the food was the same. Brunch felt rushed, however our server was really nice.

    We went there for the bottomless brunch. Service was chaotic, it took over 20mins from being seated to get the waiter over and we needed to constantly ask for them to come over. The food was ok, pulled pork was the best bit. Lobster was more like a large shrimp. Beer was good but the cocktail’s were weak. Overall it wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.

    I’d say avoid. Service was very hot and miss. A bit like the food, chicken was tough as old boots when I told the waitress, she shrugged. Lobsters were so small you had to wonder why they hadn’t been put back. Chips were like warm as they came after the rest of the meal was on the table. Getting a second drink was only accomplished after putting an empty bottle on the ledge after watching 4 members of staff chatting and laughing so much I could t get their attention. Overall food, service and ambience was very poor. I let it rise as the young girl serving us said she was only 17 and clearly hadn’t been trained to do anything. So as I said, there is much better in the area and this is sadly one to give a wide berth too. Shame, as it ruined our evening.
