Good food and nice people
A very nice ambience and atmosphere where one can have delicious varieties of filling and nicely presented platters at reasonable prices, optimal hygienic conditions and with a really friendly and professional staff.
The ribs were so nice & juicy. Super filling! The portions were just right! Great service received from our waiter. We also didn’t wait long for our food yet our food was hot & fresh. The Long Island ice tea was great too

Bodean’s is one of my favourite places in London! Not only you get amazing cocktails for a decent price but also you get served a delicious pulled pork. If you have time, check the availability in the downstairs room: it’s fancier.
I guess I must have gotten a 50% discount - platter for two costs only £12.95 instead of£25.90! I think they were having some promotion back then. Chilli Cheese Fries. It is really godly for meat lovers - unfortunately I couldn't handle the amount of meat!! I should have just gotten the ribs instead of platter as it was really too much for just the both of us. Ribs were perfectly grilled and I love those burnt bits and it drops off from the bone!
Nice chilled out place, quick service and decent cocktails, but just a tad overpriced for the overall experience.
Pulled pork and buffalo wings were good, cocktails were mixed well but not strong enough for the price paid
Bodean’s is a BBQ smokehouse specialising in American style BBQ of quality meats. The founder hailed from Kansas city Missouri and wanted to bring the best of his favourite cooking to London. BrewDog is a Scottish brewing company started by 2 young guys who wanted better beer and felt they could do a better job than the major breweries. Both companies have gone from strength to strength, with Bodean’s now operating 8 Smokehouses across London, and Brewdog managing to get a good foothold in the large retail supermarkets.

Bodeans was among my favourite restaurants when I was still based in London. Their friendly and fast service had not changed over the years. I introduced one of my friends to this place. I was surprised she has not been here before.
The place usually gets packed and reserving a table have to be done weeks in advanced. I've queued up here for more than an hour in the past. This time we came early to be sure we get a table at the restaurant downstairs.
To make ordering easy, we went for Bodeans platter. The platter included grilled chicken, spare ribs, baby back ribs, pulled pork, bbq burnt ends, two servings of chips and coleslaw. We requested corn on the cob instead of coleslaw and added extra onion rings.
Bodeans was able to maintain the standards of its dishes. The chicken was grilled to perfection, moist and oozing with sweet bbq flavours. Both spare ribs and baby back were also done well. Both were easy to remove from the bone and juicy. The pulled pork was nicely prepared as well - soft and tender. The burnt ends was ok. This is my all time favourite in this restaurant but this time I felt a little disappointed. It wasn't as tender as I had it in the past. It was a tad too hard. Perhaps it was a little overdone. It was still good but not the highlight I was expecting it to be. When having this much meat, the sides are equally important. The chips were good - crisp but chewy inside. It had a hint of flavour unique to Bodeans which I couldn't describe. The onion rings were lovely. It was lightly battered which allowed the sweetness of the onion to come through. The corn was very nice. It was soft, juicy and lightly sweet. Having these in between portions of the meat allowed us not to get tired of the meat taste. It was a wonderful meal.
Just like old times, I really enjoyed dining at Bodeans. The place kept its quality, level of service and reasonable pricing. I don't think you can easily find this much value for your money, especially in Central London.
My uncle and I were going around Covent Garden looking for some delicious food and found this awesome place. We walked in and the staff asked us politely if we had a reservation, unfortunately we didn't because we were out roaming in London, but fortunately it was only 12noon and they had spare tables around and they were able to assign us one.
We were carefully looking through the menu and finally ordered the Bodean's Platter which is good for 2 people. It had spare ribs, baby back ribs, chicken thighs, pulled pork, and burnt ends. It came with coleslaw and fries, but I ordered for the sweet potato fries. They had bottles of bbq sauce and hot sauce on the table ready to be used on your awesome bbq dish.
Ugh. I just loved what we ate last week. Hope to come back some time soon!
Stay awesome!!

Had a sumptuous meal of mac and cheese and a Pit Boss Platter. The mac and cheese was awesome and the flavoursome meat cooked to perfection and just dropped off the bone. Recommended!
The food was better than NYC bbq food places. The burnt ends were absolutely amazing. There was not 1 piece of fat on any of the meat that we had. The atmosphere was fantastic. The music was on but not too loud , so you couldn't have a conversation and not be heard. The staff were all amazing. checking to see if we needed anything but not to often so we could enjoy our food. We will definitely be visiting again.
Only giving 4 for the atmosphere due to the air conditioning downstairs being freezing, right above us and making the food chilly.
A good chain BBQ smokehouse restaurant in Soho.
As with most properties in this area they are small and often have a downstairs seating area.
The food was great, expertly cooked and had the best seasoning and smoked flavour to all of the meats.
The restaurant's close station service was ok although I would have preferred my drink to come quicker as I was very dehydrated as I explained to the waiter also I would have preferred starters separately as everything came together which was quite daunting and had to put kitchen roll and sauce on floor next to us also there was no Aircon as broke above this though they has amazing food such as brisket beef cooked to perfection but you have to order 72hours before hot dogs loaded or not burger beef or chicken loaded or not steak wow wings delicious Mac and cheese corn on cob salads
Had a really fun time here, was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon but we got a table for two straight away. I went for a platter of burnt ends, pulled pork and texas sausage. Plus a side of cornbread. The sauces were delicious. The service wasn't all that friendly but it was efficient. The food is the main event, delicious and not pricey. Great stuff.
It’s been a very long time since I had a Bodean’s (they catered my wedding over a decade ago…) and it was cute being back in the Soho branch. Service was fast and friendly. Portions were generous. Lots of vegan and veggie options too. The cornbread and amaretto sours were the stand-outs for me.
I had the pulled pork burger, burnt ends, and brisket. They were all very good. I would recommend the Soho special sandwhich which is a blend of pulled pork and burnt ends. The staff were amazingly kind and lovely 10/10 service.
The classic beef burger was super regular, but the fries were very good! The mac and cheese balls were amazing!
Food is a dream! Staff is always super friendly. It does get busy at times but despite that we got served quickly.
I'm a returning customer and would definitely recommend this place for tasty and comforting food. The brisket dinner with mash & gravy is my absolute favourite!
Great food, sauces and all reasonably priced. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender and tasty.
The waiters took a while to take our order, then it took 40mins for the food to arrive, but they made up for this by taking 30% off our bill and gave us two free beers. Happy days!
