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.

    Upon arriving we were asked to wait 5 minutes and shown to a couch at the door, after 15 minutes we had to enquire about being seated only to be told they looked for us but didn't find us. We were then shown to a 4 seater table despite booking for 5. The waiter was rude and didn't bother to engage with us. Service throughout the meal was non existent and we constantly had to chase after an order was placed. The food was ok but the quality has seriously slipped since we last visited.

    Hey Guys, Came for the Thursday date night the menu says half a bottle of red/white or rosé, when we asked the server I was told only red or white. Also heard him saying that same to other couple. Didn’t want to make a fuss but thinking about it should have corrected the server has it was on the advert for the deal, half a bottle of red white rosé (not sure how much half was as I didn’t go for it) so it’s a slushy cocktail or beer, this was half a pint. Steak was ok nothing to rave about lobster was good. Don’t happy with the seating here guys you want everyone to sit on top of each other and no the restaurant wasn’t busy. Sat us in between 2 couples barely even room to move so I asked to move and we did which was ok. It again make to sit on top of another couple. Restaurant wasn’t that busy could have sat on a larger table it was Thursday at 19:00 after we left still the same amount of people there. So we could have taken a larger table. Not everyone wants to sit 30 cms from other people stop cramming people in again wasn’t busy tonight.

    A great atmosphere and will really recommend booking early and their brunch is a must. Come with an empty stomach so you can finish the small portions 😋

    Was able to seat us early which was much appreciated. Food was great, plentiful and came in good time. Waiting staff were friendly. Kids eating free as a bonus! Overall great food, clean restaurant and toilets (despite the men’s being a long walk!).
