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.

This is a great spot for groups or just to hang out with a buddy or two. The location is right smack in the downtown area and the ambiance is cool and inviting!

Check out the light instalation (very cool) and abundance of seating (very comfy) when you enter as well as the tasty menu of meats (very clever Cleaver!) Great lunch spot!

The whole place was also clean, including the toilets. Will definitely be eating here again - look forward to trying out one of their milkshakes!

Bottom-line: while maybe average to its American traditional bbq counterpart , Boudean's is…read moreprobably as good as it gets for London. Ordered the half baby back ribs, fries and slaw. 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

The chicken is just sublime, and the sauce selection they recommend - is brilliant with it. I go for the salad box - which includes, chicken, salad and mac and cheese. And they give lots of it. All for £5 - I repeat 5£!!! You must go at half 12 otherwise the queue can be quite lengthy. Many go because the portion sizes are incredible but the quality of the food is up there. Sometimes I can't finish it and have to take it back for dinner. what more can I say - mind blown.

So we decided to check it out one Friday evening as we were both curious and lazy to go anywhere far. I would recommend to book as the restaurant itself is not very large but we got lucky and they found us a table for 2. The Menu has a big variety of dishes great for meat lovers and the veggies. We took the aubergine dip as a starter which came with a basket full of warm and fresh flat bread. The dish was tangy and yet creamy. For main course we decided to get the lamb kebab which came with rice and a chicken in tomato and yogurt dish with a side of chips. Needless to say the food was great but nothing to rave about. The portions are quite large so maybe next time we would only take one main and a few sides. Now i generally don't go for Turkish cuisine for the reason that its a little on the expensive side for what it is which is something i don't think is justified. However this is a place i would go again as the service and ambience is enjoyable.

We shared a couple of the starters; the pretzels with dough balls and the brisket hash. Both were very good, preferred the pretzel dish over the brisket. The brisket is in more of a gravy than BBQ sauce, and has a slightly bitter, smokey taste to it. I would prefer a more sweeter sauce, like the pulled pork is in. The chicken wings are tossed in a hot sauce, though you can request BBQ. We tried an array of their meats, our favourite being the pulled pork. I was disappointed in the brisket as it's no longer sliced but pulled now and as stated the sauce needs working on. The platters are huge and best suited for sharing. Their desserts are really good too, and again ideal for sharing. I had the brownie stack which was amazing. We really enjoyed our meal, however it is on the expensive side. Starters and desserts are £7+, mains start from around £13, £20+ for platters. We ended up taking some of our meat to go. They also have a coke freestyle machine so drinks are unlimited!! They have a selection of steaks I'd like to try next time I'm there. Enjoyable meal. Our server was very friendly but service is a little on the slow side.
