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 realise prices have gone up a lot lately but I remember my first visit to big easy and how we ordered A whole lobster, a pint of lager, chips and a salad and a dressing or melted butter for £22. Now you’d pay £40 for the same.. So it wasn’t particularly tempting. So we went for four different types of burgers. All of which were a bit meh… our waitress was nice enough and the room is always cool but the noise level is really on the verge of being unbearable and makes conversation really hard. My spicy crunchy chicken sandwich (read burger) was crunchy dry and tasteless. And not at all spicy. Very disappointing.

We had a great time in the Big Easy. The food was great and service was great. It was a bit on the warm side in the restaurant though.

First visit and we came away a bit confused about whether we loved it or not . Great venue , loved how it looked. Menu was a good selection- unless you’re a vegetarian, it’s obviously meat heavy. Tried the lunch menu which was great value. Liked the jalapeño poppers, hubby enjoyed his bbq selection plate but my Cesar salad was ordinary. Just a plate of iceberg lettuce really, no parmigiana cheese, few croutons and over sauced but the optional chicken was at least tasty. If I could get the attention of a server I’d have sent it back but staff were a bit thin on the ground. That said, I do think I probably made a poor menu selection so we’ll go back and I’ll opt for a more traditional BBQ meat based pick. Never write a place off based on one visit .

Server was great and good atmosphere. However, while the food was tasty, great prawns in particular but not enough of it. Not great value for money.

We love eating at the Big Easy, Covent Garden. Lobster is my food heaven and I am always delighted to eat it. Their chips are the best I have ever tasted. It is a vibrant restaurant and a great place to visit after a day out in London.
