    the staff were Brilliant they were really amazing. it was my disabled sons 18th Birthday and they put themselves out and made his Birthday even more special. it was our first time visiting Big Easy Canary Wharf and must say the friendly staff and friendly atmosphere made our occasion a rememberable one. the food was nice and brought out quickly all together so we were all eating at the same time which was good for a large party of 10. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. the food was OK but service quality was truly exceptional and would give it 5 stars

    Was welcomed and greeted very courteously. Offered an intimate place to sit. The restaurant was incredibly quiet with minimal staff. The host was incredibly lazy as they had said I needed to attend the bar for 2 4 1. As someone with accessibility needs (non visible), this was overwhelming. With my partner leading and me giving positive self-talk and meditating/calming techniques, I placed an order in which the bar host (black) set the standard and also offered/asked what we liked and encouraged recommended options. (High standard of customer service, and also brought the drinks to our table). This is the reason for an overall pleasant review. The food was ordered quickly, and the waiter was attentive, understanding, and also alerted a 10 min countdown to when the bar closed. My partner ordered the Big Easy version of a Seafood boil bag (bring gloves, though, like I did). He wanted a larger portion but thoroughly enjoyed it with his sides calamari and creamy mash. However, I had the popcorn shrimp, chicken tenders (incredibly seasoned) with sweet potato fries, and both starters came with side sauces. I will definitely return on a Thursday as I love the steak and lobster combo deal. Every day between Monday - Thursday there's a deal. Every day us happy hour ALL DAY. Highly recommended for dates, anniversary, birthday parties, Hen Party/Stag Do (responsible) Christmas meals or any other occasion. I will be back after commuting more than 5 hours, thanks to the Big Easy Crew as a whole. Had a boozy time and went home with a goody bag (leftovers).
