My American friends showed me this place when they were craving food from back home. My first experience of authentic American food in London. Exceeding my expectations, the food here was outstanding. Do try the nachos here without fail. The quantities are so huge here which is a bonus.
I love going to Bodeans when I feel like something greasy.
If you go on an off-peak day Sunday-Thursday get The Game Day Special- £15 This includes chips, coleslaw, ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings (we chose jim beam) and burger sauce and a beer or softdrink.
***GOOD TO KNOW*** If you go on peak time and your on a budget get the pulled pork sandwich. It comes with chips and coleslaw and it is the best value you will get. Its a secret gem i discovered.
I also recommend trying the burnt end and the ribs- both delicious!
There is also a cheesecake of the day and I have tried some of the best cheesecakes so be sure to ask the waiter what it is. You will not be disappointed.
Came here after a few cheeky cocktails and I was delighted with the service! Fast, friendly and willing to give advice the staff here were on point. I ordered the rack of babyback ribs which came with coleslaw and chips. Crisp crunchy coleslaw is always wonderful and the ribs were the perfect comfort food! I ordered a side of hot 'Diablo' wings and the flavour was tangy and intense, so succulent they leave you wanting more. This is great comfort food!
I do love a bodeans, it used to be my favorite, but there are more and more bbq places popping up that are slightly better however do not take anything away from bodeans like others the clapham branch is my favorite and its does have you leaving full having had a great time.
The boss hog platter is the one
Porklicious. Super ribs, nice frys, amazing desserts.
Pull your pork at Bodeans - always great honest BBQ food, incredible mid week offers. Efficient and friendly service. A jewel in Clapham high streets crown
Often has good deals on. And covers a wide variety of price bands. Can get a full meal from £5-15. Super 'burnt ends'. Only problem I had, asked for sour cream on my baked potato, and they put whipped cream on by mistake! I couldn't believe it! It was such a hilarious mistake. They offered me a discount for the trouble too. Lovely and friendly staff.
Good value American Grill. This is a good value American Grill: hot meat sandwiches, salads, burgers, chicken, ribs, pulled pork and steaks.
Beware: steaks are seasoned with something which rather dominated the flavour (I'd prefer my steak to taste of steak!); and served on a hot cast-iron plate which meant that my rare steak started life as a Medium, and by the time I finished was well done. Despite this I'd still recommend it.
Tuesdays are even better bvalue with half-price steaks.
Used to be great .. Last two visits though I have been a bit disappointed
Very good. If you want something meaty this is always a good bet. Special offers on Tuesday
We heard great things about the macaroni before but when we got it, it was very disappointing and quite bland. The meat was cooked perfectly in the sauce, that was the highlight of the meals. Cocktails were strong and were served it large glasses. This restaurant is quite good but very pricey.
Right…I’ve had American BBQ in the USA before and this place is on a very similar level!
Absolutely delicious BBQ and the cocktails are very tasty too!
I don’t get many opportunity to visit this area but love love love the food here!
The food was lovely here and our server was friendly. They had lots of options available for adding healthier items to your order if you are gluten free.
The music was mostly from the 1980s which I enjoyed. They had a good range of cocktails and mocktails.
Definitely for the meat lovers...food always good (BBQ tastes authentic)...premises clean and comfortable and staff always friendly and attentive. Pricing is reasonable.
Great food at very reasonable prices.
Service is good and fast.
The pork is tasty and tender.
Dishes are quite big and steaks are absolutely delicious.
The diabolo hot sauce one the chicken wings is great.
Very nice and relaxing atmosphere for dinner with your girlfriend.
Very good selection of wine and beer!
Ideal choice if you like good quality meat at reasonable prices!
Highly recommend!
For a BBQ meat place, Bodean's had a remarkably large range of vegetation food. From Mac and cheese to a jackfruit platter, I was impressed with the selection.
The food was delicious and well proportioned, and the service was quick and friendly.
Bodean's was a great place to recover from a busy night out.
To summarise all the mixed reviews:
- Decent BBQ, will satisfy that Smokey craving
- Burnt ends best, Ribs a bit dry but still decent
- DO NOT get the slaw, I swear they’ve got off and not very nice even if fresh
- Portion size is good. So overall, you’ll have a good time if you just avoid the slaw :)
I ordered delivery as I craved for some proper barbecue food and it definitely did not disappoint even for delivery!
I ordered the Pit Boss Platter For two to share with my husband as dinner - the portion was big enough for four people and stuffed with good quality meat, everything was well cooked and juicy (even when reheated the next day as it was too big that we couldn’t finish it on the night!), I in particular love the beef brisket, back ribs, sausage and burnt ends. But seriously, everything was fantastic.
UberEat had a hiccup when we first ordered, I called the branch and the lady was very helpful, so I give the service a 5* too.
The price is on the higher end but I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to food.
If you fancy some gourmet barbecue other than the standard kebab, wings and chicken, highly recommended this restaurant.
Excellent food, great atmosphere, make sure to ask for a doggy bag your eyes will be bigger than your belly. More than that the staff are the friendliest and most welcoming people you could ask for. Absolutely amazing couldn't ask for better food or company
Sharing meat platter was very tasty. Perhaps a coleslaw as a standard side would make it feel a bit healthier. As a South African living in Germany this BBQ grill tasted like home.
