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

Food overpriced and poor quality. We were there for our son’s 15th birthday, it was myself, my husband and our boys, 15 & 12. They sat us right next to a table of 12 adults who were there for a party! Not taking anything away from them - they were there for a good time, all adults so yeah have at it- why shouldn’t they enjoy themselves.. absolutely! But I don’t think we should have been sat next to that table - swearing, drunk behaviour etc. The restaurant was not that busy when we arrived, they could have sat us somewhere else. We waited 40 minutes to get the drinks we ordered. The nachos for starters were stale. It was really difficult to get our waiters attention because he was never around or if he was he was just too busy. Hardly any tables were occupied in our section when we arrived so not sure what was going on. I ordered macaroni cheese for main and it was dry, tasteless and greasy. My son didn’t eat his macaroni & cheese (kids menu) because he said it was horrible. My husband and older son had lobster but there was hardly any meat on it. After I used my fork to eat my nachos starter, it was covered in cheese sauce etc… the waiter placed it back on my napkin as if to say you can use that again for your main course?! £45.50 for steak and lobster but you pay extra for fries. The ladies toilets we’re disgusting, dirty and no toilet paper. I would never go back here again.

Extremely disappointed. Opted for pre theatre menu. Starters took about 25 mins to arrive. For mains we had burgers, served on a cold brioche bun on a cold griddle plate. We opted not for dessert. Overall I would not recommend or visit this restaurant again

All of the food was fantastic, and the team really accommodating to small changes like sharing mains and starters. They also really took their time to look after us, and we event got a nice glass of prosecco as it was our wedding anniversary! Amazing place, definitely coming back next time I'm in London.

Fantastic evening for my son's 18th birthday! We were late due to traffic but the host seated our party of 9 by 19:15. Nahom was an amazing server — expert advice, attentive, and made the birthday boy feel so special. Fabulous food, great vibes

The portions are absolutely tiny. There's no Big in this at all. I assumed that it would be good value for money but unfortunately I got handed a small hand sized steak and 3 small prawns advertised as jumbo. All for £40!
