(I didn't eat at this particular branch, i went to Tower Hill, but can't find that on here).

Anyways, a group of us ate here last night, and I can't see why it received a negative review. Everybody loved their food and tehre was ample of it. The lady who ordered a whole rack of spare ribs was still eating them long after the rest of us ahd finished.

If you order fromt he main menu, though, it can be pricey. Unless you buy a pulled pork sandwich or burger (which is available in the restaurant part as well as the 'bar' upstairs... a previous review said it wasn't, so maybe it's a new thing).

However they do offer a 'Pig Out' for £10 deal, where you have a choice of either a rack of baby back ribs, a double stacked burger or a chicken combo (1/4 chicken, half rack of ribs and pulled pork) PLUS a drink (beer, wine or soft drink). I have to say that that deal is more than value for money. I had the chicken combo and I was stuffed. However, whilst I only spent £10 on my meal ,the lady who ordered the spare ribs, prawn starter, coffee and wine spent just under £40.

I would recommend this restaurant, but only if you have some money to spend, or are happy ordering from the £10 menu!

The concept of Bodeans is excellent, its the only restaurant of its type in Central London....thats the good bit.

Now the bad......The food is simple so should be simple to cook and present, however its not, but don't even try and complain as the staff do not care.

Fancy a long wait to get served and then to get your food and drinks? Well this restaurant tops the lot, the staff are simply the worst I have experienced in years,the only tip I would give them would be to find another job!

Sometimes restaurants have their 'off day's' but this one has had far too many for me to give it another chance.

Bodean's serves some GREAT American style food, some of the best in London! Their staple is bbq, slow cooked pork and beef, fantastic ribs, pulled pork and bbq beans.

There are two sections to this restaraunt, the upstairs is more of a 'fast food' eating area, with a table service area downstairs.

Upstairs you simply grab a seat, order at the counter and await your food, and it isnt long to wait either! With the meats being slow cooked, they are ready to go! The prices are not bad, and you can get a pulled pork sandwich, with fries for about the same as a gourmet burger in the West End. This though, is far more filling and tasty!

Downstairs for me was a much more dissapointing experience. Having eaten in America's south, I know that the food should be already cooked, and ready to go, but the service was VERY slow. It must have been a good 30 mins between starter and main, now I know some people like this, but the wait became irritating in the end.

It isnt a cheap place to eat when seated, starters, mains and drinks for two cost over £50, but upstairs you can grab something very tasty much quicker for under £10. So it gets 7 for the quality of food, and the upstairs, though loses marks for the service. But you cannot hate a place which serves corn bread, I love it!
