About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • 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.

    As is always the case for me personally, I'm not disappointed by The Big Easy. It has a way of delivering effortlessly what dining should be at that level and does it consistently and has done for many, many years.

    We paid for the brunch and upgraded the drinks package. But we spent most of the time with empty glasses as only 2 people working front of house. Also, we have been fans of BE for years but can see they are really selling low value food now, the steaks that come with the steak and lobster meal are mostly inedible now. Just chewing rubbish cheap meat. Do not buy their meat if you want to talk to someone else or have any issues with your teeth.

    I’ve eaten BBQ in NYC, Chicago, Texas et al so know what’s good. The brisket (could have been hotter) was tasty and the right texture but the contents of the accompanying gravy boat although brown, was pure salt juice! I had to scrape it all off to save the dish. The rib ends were more like big burnt ends and totally overcooked/reheated/chewy. Nice sauce though. The best things were the beans & slaw. The servers were top notch on a busy Saturday night and should be commended . Shame the food let down this cool place.

    Found it by chance a couple of years ago and have been coming back ever since. Food quality, atmosphere and value can’t be beaten in my opinion.
