Love, love, love, love, love this place, amazing staff, food and atmosphere, I'd give this place 10 ☆ if I could. Visited this place recently and was shocked to find they have completely changed the menu and what was once a 10☆ has plummeted to a 1☆ the food was dry, the menu was seriously limited and worked the meal that I normally have came out very expensive as I had to buy burnt ends as a side dish, pay seperate for fries that closely replicated burger King chips and the coleslaw wasn't even on the menu, this then doubled the price of the meal. I heard the manager boasting that he was the one to change the menu after several people moaned to the waitress, mate I wouldn't be proud of what you've done to that menu, it's awful and you've lost a regular customer. Reply to Bodeans owner: ill decline thank you and really? The only thing I heard from the two other tables taken up were people questioning the waitress why the menu had changed? And is that the full menu? To the point where the waitress not only looked embarrassed but actually approached the manager (you I would assume by the attitude) who then aggressively shouted 'yes it was me who changed the menu" you seem to not only feel comfortable shouting indirectly at loyal customers in the shop but also have no problem with writing extremely rude replies on reviews when someone isn't feeding your ego. (my partner wrote one same day where you was extremely rude and sarcastic in your reply. In that review you appologised for not being consistent enough for my liking, even though you had my favourites on the menu that I apparently overlooked and then sarcasticly apologisedfor not being consistent. Looollll, and you're right I do like consistency, so when I have to pay £30 which was double the amount for the same crap I had the week before for £15, yeah I will moan that you changed the menu, youre a rip off company and your replies echo a severely fragmented ego it quite honestly comes across as narcicistic, so no I won't be coming back, I'd rather give my money to Burger King than your company tbh. You're not friends with Sammy and Amy bouzaglo by any chance are you?

This was the worst meal and service (lack of service) that I have ever experienced . The food was like warm and oily. Update March 27/3/25 I received a sincere apology and a warm invitation to return from the manager after my complaint, and I must say, everything was fantastic! Great service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Our waiter, Deep, went above and beyond to make our visit extra special. This experience shows that Bodean truly values customer feedback and takes the right steps to make things right. Thanks to the team for a great experience!

Used to be a great place and have visited numerous times over the past 10 years. Recent visit was awful. New, short, menu with none of the options this place used to do really well. Sharing platter for 3-4 was more appropriate for 1 and consisted of a big beef bone with no meat on it, some wet toast, half a sausage, a few other morsels and a pile of wet pickles - £90. 12 wings - £30. Sad as this used to be one of our favourites but has all the signs of not being in business in 12 months. Further insult to injury is that it looks like the responses to these reviews are done by AI which, for some reason, has been programmed to respond like a twat.

So, let me start this off with, I don’t leave reviews, usually the places I eat are perfectly fine. Now, when I came here with my wife expecting a nice bbq meal and a couple of drinks, I didn’t think I’d be leaving 30 minutes later because our waiter spent the entire time ignoring us and another table whilst standing right next to us, chatting with another table about holiday locations. The table next to us, that also left, joked saying they’ve been there for 30 minutes and not been served yet walked out, I assumed this was an overreaction, but 15 minutes after that, and after trying to get the waiters attention we also had to walk out. We walked 1 minutes down the road to a Watherspoons that served us immediately for much cheaper. I had to ask for the servers name from the bartender, because his negligence was shocking. So Raul, thanks for ignoring us and who knows how many other tables to talk about holiday spots instead of doing your job. I’m sure we’ll try this place again or maybe one of their other locations, but I would advise skipping Tower Hill.

I recently dined at Bodean's Tower Hill and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! All the staff (esp Vicktor) were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Their service was prompt and professional, ensuring that our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish prepared to perfection. The flavours were well-balanced, and the presentation was impressive. Whether you're a fan of classic BBQ dishes or looking for something more adventurous, their menu has something for everyone. One of the highlights of the evening was their impressive selection of bourbon whiskey. The variety was extensive, featuring both well-known brands and unique, hard-to-find bottles. The staff were knowledgeable and offered great recommendations, enhancing our overall experience. Overall, Bodean's Tower Hill is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food, excellent service, and a fantastic bourbon whiskey selection. I can't wait to return!

This place used to be a regular for my friends and me - we loved it for what was excellent BBQ food and plenty of it. We went back after at least a month or so away and were pretty shocked to find a reduced menu and inflated prices. This might be due to financial difficulties, but there definitely seems to have been a pivot towards smaller portions and increased focus on upselling customers to make up for it by buying extras. Take the BBQ platter for example - this used to comfortably feed four of us and included fries as part of it. The fries have now been removed from the platter, replaced with soggy toast, and the whole thing has probably halved in quantity - and sadly quality too. The platter didn't go far between all four of us, and what was there was particularly fatty and gristly. We did complain about the above, and were provided with more food and money off the bill, which is appreciated, but it still doesn't take away what feels like a sad decline for a once great restaurant.

So disappointed with my visit today. Bodeans used to be my favourite restaurant, so to arrive to the new menu today was such a shame. The menu used to have lots of combo options, and is now just only a couple of options, but perhaps most importantly how can you get rid of the Diablo wings. Such a travesty, Diablo sauce was unreal and now just been replaced by a bland, weak “bone sucking sauce”. Gutted in all honesty , and sad to say it’s extremely unlikely I’ll be back. Service was great and only positive of the day- lady with the green / blue hair was very friendly and offered top service.

Was a regular here but they changed the menu and quite honestly what a disappointment. Menu is now very limited and wasn’t worth the hour it took to travel here. Will not be coming back again unless they put the original menu back in and the table next to me felt the same, shame because they had an amazing menu before, I feel a lot of people will feel the same, you had something good and ruined it by changing it. Would recommend a dish but they’ve all gone.

Visited here before going to a ceremony at the Tower of London, we were the first in and as a party of 6 we were seated downstairs. We ordered, and the food took some time. we had to chase it up to arrive, but when it did, the portions were good size, well cooked, and very tasty. The meal was enjoyed by all. Would I go again, yes, definitely as I felt it was good value for the money, especially due to its location.

This is our second time here, the first visit was back in 2023 & was fantastic which is why I booked again. We were so disappointed. The young lady that served us was awful. She looked and acted like she didn’t want to be there. Not at all friendly. I ordered the Carolina loaded fries, a portion of onion rings and a portion of coleslaw as my main. The onion rings were fine but the Carolina fries were overcooked and very dry and the coleslaw didn’t arrive. When my husband asked our waitress she said oh yes and walked off to get it but I then watched her serve 2 other parties before finally bringing my coleslaw by which time my loaded fries had gone cold. My husband got the pit boss combo. He said it was ok but the chicken wasn’t smoked so he was disappointed. None of the food was piping hot so by the time we were half way through eating it had all gone cold. We were visiting London for the day from Greater Manchester so as you can expect we were very disappointed with our experience. I wouldn’t recommend.

This used to be one of our favourite restaurants. We used to come here regularly. We noticed last couple of times we have been here service has deteriorated . They have replaced waiters to take orders and different people to serve food. Service staff are really bad! They just come in and dump the food on the table!! No smile or indication of what you have ordered! They just leave the food on the table.What has happened to the hospitality staff in this restaurant! We are really disappointed with the service. Please go back to what you were before. I don’t think I want to come here again!!

Not overly impressed with the food. The mac and cheese is so dead no flavour hardly any cheese. The ribs wasn't sure about the flavour just taste salty, I enjoy the supermarket ribs better. And the smoked sausage was just dripping with fat. Can't say I will be ordering again. Just disappointed I wasted £47 on a meal I'm not going to eat.

This place is an absolute gem. Great staff, brilliant atmosphere and most importantly incredible food. We had ribs and dogs and all were fantastic. The chilli cheese dog is probably the best hotdog I've ever had, every part of it was on point, the seasoning on the chips was something special too. Deserts were great even if the options were not extensive. Not only was all of this great the price was less than I expected. Very impressed and will be going back next time I'm in the area.

I have been to Bodeans a few times over the years when I’m in London and have always had a great meal. When I knew I was going to be in London again, I booked. I arrived about 45 minutes early as my plans had changed, and they said it was no problem and I should make my way downstairs. I was greeted by a forced smile waitress who showed me to my table and then I heard her on the phone, saying to her annoyance that no one else should be allowed downstairs - there were 2 tables out of 20 being used and I wondered if she was aware how a business worked? I had been looking forward to this and I ordered a full baby back pork ribs with prawns to start. The prawns arrived within 3 minutes and I felt 4 was a small portion for the £8. Then super fast again the main event arrived, a full baby back ribs with fries, coleslaw and a side of onion rings - I hadn’t eaten since breakfast so I could enjoy this. Gutted, the ribs were dry, the meat did not fall off the bone, the fries were dry and the coleslaw was soaking which made a hole in the grease proof paper everything was on. I doused the pork in barbecue sauce but it didn’t help it much. I ate it all as it was still editable and I was hungry but also, if I send it back, what are they going to do, slow cook another rack?!? They had a 20% off the bill promotion for January which was welcome and I left without complaint but with disappointment. I will try Bodeans again but this experience was really disappointing. It was something I was really looking forward to and I felt like I was served the ribs left over from lunch.

With a reputation for loaded portions and great atmosphere, Bodean's was quite disappointing. Zero atmosphere. Starts badly with greeter not rushing to look up from their phone and looking at as like an inconvenience. Waiting and serving staff all pleasant enough but there is no energy, vibe or fun about them. Walls covered in TV screens showing football kills conversations and seems to be the main attraction. Having asked for a special table for our son's 21st - no effort made whatsoever. Food very nice but portions very small. Larger dishes necessary if you want to leave full. Everything just a bit below the hype. Disappointed

I have been a big fan of Bodean’s over the years - it’s always been a reliable choice whatever the event. However, I’ve noticed more recently that the chain has been going into decline and today’s experience highlighted that heavily. The portions are much smaller than they used to be (I was still hungry after my visit, which hasn’t previously been the case) and the prices have shot up. I didn’t think the meat tasted all that great either, it was only ok. The service was mediocre at best - no warmth from anyone and it had zero atmosphere in the restaurant. Overall a hugely disappointing evening and I won’t be going back to Bodean’s again. A real shame.

Bodeans has always been one of our favourite places to eat when we’re in the area in the fact that we purposefully drink nearby so we can finish our evening there because we crave it when we’ve not had it for a while. I’m not sure if we caught you in a bad day or whether the restaurant has just gone downhill but we were so disappointed with our experience. There was no ambience, the lady that took our drinks order looked like she wished she was anywhere else but there and when she served our drinks just put them all on the table in front of me and walked off, no smile, no telling us what was what. Our food order was taken by a lovely guy, he also re-did two of our drinks that didn’t taste right and he was the best part of our experience (we assume he is the manager as he was wearing different attire from the rest of the staff). 3 of us had the original combo, 1 had the brisket dinner and 1 had the chicken combo. Personally I enjoyed my pulled pork and burnt ends as I always put on extra bbq sauce but my husband and niece felt that theirs was very dry and one couldn’t eat them, which we advised when we were asked how our meal was. Had this been our first ever visit we wouldn’t return and some of our party said they wouldn’t, but as I’ve had so many good experiences here in the past I will put it down to a bad day and try again.

We had absolutely the best dining experience here on Tuesday evening. When we walked in the staff showed us some of their brilliant American whiskeys/bourbons and we had a good chat with them. All the staff were so friendly and helpful! The food was phenomenal, we both got the beef ribs but the menu is great and varied. The food was a 10/10 easily, the meat fell of the bone and as someone enthusiastic about BBQ, I've never tasted food as good as this. For central London we were very happy with the prices too! Can't recommend this place enough and we will definitely be coming back next time we visit London.

Food was well priced, we got the sharing board for two. Portion sizes were decent. The burnt ends were great as were the links, the rest was a little bland and flavourless. Unseasoned fries as the sides to the platter was a bit dull given the array of options at a typical bbq that are part of the standard order (candy yams/ street corn/ greens etc. Having been multiple times to Texas it didn’t really compare in terms of flavour and quality yet I don’t pay much more for it when in Texas (if any more). The ribs were alright but again barely any meat when compared to the real experience and again lacking flavour. Probably had I not had the real thing before I might’ve been more impressed but it did feel like they’re selling the gimmick and not actually wanting to make a good go of great food. Staff were helpful but not necessarily welcoming and I don’t think the experience warranted a mandatory service charge. The relentless and fairly loud Christmas music was bordering on psychological torture by the end of the meal and would recommend catering for people with sensory needs by not forcing everyone to endure that just because of the time of year. It was fun to have the sports on, would’ve been better to have the volume up on that. Good for novelty but it didn’t live up to a proper bbq experience. It would be really cool to see somewhere with the proper bbq experience where the food is treated like an art form, remove the at seat service, grab a tray and order what you want with the same menu groupings as traditional bbq ie. “Trio of meats with two sides” and you choose your own meats and side for the set price.

So the good first - really enjoyed my dinner (pulled pork and burnt ends combo) and a lovely root beer. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. However, the service was awful, our server messed up the order (so much so that the manager gave us a massive discount). Our server was so quiet, had to asker her to repeat herself several times. Which is probably what led to the order being messed up. Have been here several times, and maybe it was her first day, but for such a busy restaurant, we.exoecred much better service.

Underwhelming. I tend to try to only post positive reviews but our experience at Tower Hill yesterday fell well short of expectations. The food simply wasn’t that good. The portions were small but worse than that the quality was lacking The chips felt like they’d been reheated and it was a tiny portion. The platter consisted of 2 bits of chicken, 6 ribs. A sausage, some pulled pork and some burnt ends. £50 and meant for sharing it felt very expensive for a small amount of fairly bland meat. The coleslaw was pretty flavourless as well. The meat was served on a sheet of paper and we ate off the tray (we had no plates). After a while the paper dissolved and you ended up with a mouth full of it. It didn’t feel like good enough quality or enough food to justify the prices. The service was largely good although we had to chase drinks order twice. Compared with other places of similar price and menu if fell well short.

Had an awesome time at Bodean’s! The cauli bites were crispy and tasty, the spare ribs were tender and flavorful, and the Amaretto Sour made by Vim was spot on. Great food, great drinks, great vibes!

We discovered Bodean's a short walk from our hotel. It's a very nice place which is located on a nice promenade overlooking Tower Bridge. The pub's specialty is definitely BBQ meat, don't miss the brisket beef. Ask for Raul, he will suggest what to taste and will follow you throughout the dinner, letting you enjoy the evening to the fullest and with discretion. It was a pleasure to rely on him. Excellent value for money by London standards.

As meat lover everytime working in London would pay a visit in Bodean for their wings and ribs. This time our host Victor not only advise us the feature of new menu, but also seat us at the lovely spot where me and my fd could enjoy the whole tower bridge and meal. Great night and great food.

Service wasn't great and had to wait for our table even though booked. Could see the host on the front door was getting frustrated with downstairs. Waitress was a little slow and disinterested as well. Food was good though

Such amazing food, great service, although be careful if you have a milk allergy/ vegan as the chips state they are vegan but also contain milk 🫠 my daughter has a milk allergy so this caused an issue, but otherwise fantastic

My friend from Bulgaria and I had a dinner at the restaurant. Myself, I have worked as a waiter not so far from there. For a couple of years, I used to pass around the restaurant without trying it. Finally, last night, I experienced it. I am happy with the food, but what I was happier, even satisfied, was the friendly and efficient service of Raul.👏🏻 He recommended me a very crispy, enjoyable beer, helping me with the choice. He seems to be a very enthusiastic waiter. Overall, I would pay more visits to the place, so to keep exploring the menu. 👌🏼🥩🍽

A place to go for a quick beer in London When we visited, it was moderately noisy so it wasn't difficult to have a conversation, and the waitresses and bartenders were all friendly. The barbecue menu is also great. In particular, bartender Deep helped us taste beer and made customized cocktails. In addition, a piece of cake was also served to celebrate our honeymoon🍰 His friendly response gave me a great first impression not only of the pub but also of London. If you happen to pass by nearby, be sure to visit!!!

I came here with my partner, the food was lovely and the customer service was impeccable, we were served by Ralu and we were very impressed by his customer service, he is the reason we are leaving a review. The manager was also very friendly and welcoming

Great BBQ and drinks Stopped by Bodean’s for some BBQ and drinks at the bar. The ribs and pulled pork were spot on, with great sides to match. Tommy’s Margarita and Alabama Slammer were perfectly mixed. Service from Vim was quick and friendly. Great spot for a casual night out!

Love this place (as an American expat) but recently had a great experience at the bar. We were served by Lake who was very knowledgable on the menu and his recommendations. Excellent experience and will be back!

Hadn't booked, so opted to eat at the bar. Food is what you expect for this kind of place. Portions were generous. Prices in line with London, maybe a bit cheaper. Service a bit slow at times, though they were very busy. Would come back again.

Coco was our waitress and she was very friendly and helpful! As always the food is juicy and delicious, I’ve even come in just for a milkshake and key lime pie which is my favourite! Authentic country which definitely adds to the Southern atmosphere.

Café Pacifico delivers bold flavors, lively vibes, and top-notch Mexican fare. Their Pacifico Margarita is a must-try, pairing perfectly with fresh Guacamole and the Antojitos Platter, loaded with quesadillas, tostadas, empanadas, and seafood tacos. The Sizzling Fajitas—whether beef, chicken, or prawn—steal the show, while the Nachos with homemade chorizo are pure indulgence. With a stellar Tequila & Mezcal selection and the rich Pacifico Mud Pie for dessert, this spot is a Mexican food lover’s paradise.

We sat at a shared table for the first time but we were not disturbed, it was a nice experience, the tables are very big. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. The food was very delicious, I had the best cocktail I've ever had in London here, it was very successful. We tried a local flavor for the taste but it didn't suit our taste :)
