The brisket was very delicious and juicy, but like all beef in the UK, very expensive and very small portions. Not very Texas, but I get it. The ribs were just as good and it felt like more value. The biggest difference was in the sides. Vinegar in London is not like in Texas. The potato salad was not what I expected, and the pickle packed a lot more punch. But the Fries were superb, as was the chili. We enjoyed the cornbread, but it was nothing extraordinary. All in all, this is a great place, awesome vibe, and I most likely will not revisit this place the next time I'm in London but I would recommend it to others.

Sometimes I can't finish it and have to take it back for dinner. what more can I say - mind blown.

Baby back ribs: not necessarily fall of the bone type of ribs, but if you give it a good tug , some of the meats will slide off its axis. I enjoyed it for what it's worth. Obviously, the smoker is limited in scope , so I'm not expecting Texas style quality. Was a little chewy in some places, but also tender in others. Had a preference for the chiptole bbq sauce rather than the hickory. Fries were mostly good (minus the tiny bits). So close to the meats, the fries absorbed some of the smokiness flavor. Slaw: low-point of the bbq. They used way, way, too much dressing. Like it was flooded. Also the cabbage wasn't cut finely, but presented as whole chunk slices. Would definitely not recommend this one. Overall minus the slaw, I enjoyed Bodean's

My best friend and I popped in here for some dinner at about 9:30pm, so immediately I was quite…read morepleased that it was still open! We both had the Burnside Burger (cheese, bacon) and skin-on fries. The food came quite quickly, which I assume was because there was only two other parties in the restaurant at the time, but regardless I'll still give them points for a speedy delivery. The burger was quite messy but that's what made it authentically American. The patty itself was a little thinner than I expected and didn't have much of a taste to it so I assume it wasn't seasoned very well, but the cheese melted over it nicely. I would've thought they'd use American streaky bacon but it was actually thick, back rasher English bacon which I preferred. The fries were lovely, a huge portion for one person, and the sauces on the table were all brilliant (we tried them all, my personal favourite was Carolina BBQ). Overall an okay experience and at quite a low price too. £20 for two meals and two drinks, you really can't beat it, even though I would have liked my burger to be more seasoned.

Fantastic, I was I was expecting something else to be used instead, so was very pleased to see the authentic ingredient. The guy working there was really friendly, and the portion was mega. As it was Texas style it was all about the rub rather than the sauce and I dare say I'm converted. The smoke ring was amazing on the brisket, and you didn't need a knife - it just fell apart with a twist if a fork. It was so delicious, and went perfectly with the combination of pinto beans and Fritos. Barbecue is London has a new benchmark as far as I'm concerned.

That was on the basis of several visits, so it didn't seem fair to change my opinion on a one off experience. However, I've now probably been back as many times as I had been before (5? 8? something like that) and I think it's just less special than it was. There are three main things detracting from it. Firstly, the prices have gone up quite a lot, so the standard ribs plate is £14 - it used to be £10, I think, which I appreciate is cheap, but then that was one of my considerations when giving them a good review. In addition to this, the portions have got smaller - way smaller. My boyfriend and I used to share a plate, but that is not realistic anymore. We used to get three or four large ribs - yesterday we only got two, which is representative of the last few visits. We also used to get three or four burnt ends, but they appear to be not served anymore. And finally, it's not consistently good. I'd even say that most of the times we've been in the last year, the food has been bad - way drier meat than it should be - though yesterday I thought the ribs were great again. I wouldn't say not to go, and I'll almost certainly be back, but I'm just not as charmed by it anymore.

An avid follower of Mark Gevaux - also known as The Rib Man - on social media for a long time, I…read morewas pretty much over the moon when travelling back from London to remember he has a new branch at Euston station. Usually a trader at Kerb on a Sunday, and well known for selling out in the first hour or so, these really are the best ribs in the city. This is a small branch but there are plenty of benches outside in the public realm of the station if you have time to spare before your train. I had at least an hour free so happily set up for a while with my roll. Being around 5pm, it wasn't busy at all so I was served quickly but I can imagine a queue would form at peak times. Service was super friendly and casual - grab yourself a drink when they're dishing up, and remember to grab a wet wipe and some napkins! Beer is available, an obviously great option if you're a bit travel tired. Now, the ribs. We're talking huge hunks of shredded rib meat with a few crispy edges thrown in for good measure. The roll itself is a simple white bloomer, which fully soaks up all the delicious hot sauce. You can top it with ketchup or two levels of hot sauce, the latter of which are what Mark is known for. Visit The Rib Man's online shop to purchase a variety of hot sauces and rubs to replicate the experience at home - but give one of his stalls a visit first to see how it's really done!

I've noticed The Rib Man the last couple of times I've been through Euston (he's just outside the…read morefront door) and was excited to see what appeared to be independent street food at a major train station. Now I have discovered The Rib Man is basically famous and deservedly so, as his rib rolls are fantastic. Beautiful meat which I paired with BBQ sauce and hot sauce, a winner in my book. Good value at £6 given the size of the roll, ready quickly and service very friendly. Not sure who is behind the Junction (which also contains an Australian coffee joint and some hot dogs which I should also probably sample for research purposes) but I love the concept and hope it takes off at more stations! The reason I was at Euston at dinnertime was that I hadn't realised the last off peak train back to Manchester is at 3pm (seriously, that is so unreasonable) and I then raced to the first off peak evening train which was of course packed and I couldn't find a seat. I'd had an awful day and was hungry so I ended up just sitting on the floor between 2 carriages and shoving the roll into my face, getting covered in sauce, as judgmental fellow travellers side-eyed me while scrambling for the remaining seats. Thus sated, I sat back content to spent the next 2 hours on a floor outside a toilet. That was when I got sent to sit in first class. Good times.
