Bodean's BBQ - Tower Hill in City of London, Westminster

Hi, First of all, the food was really great. I gave my respect for the chefs for their passion. Plus, my server was Coco , she is unreal insanely friendly to our table. We had a very find dining experience in London. I would never forget this experience. thanks to the girl and the rest of the team. keeping it up. Much love, Wesley.

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!

Always a pleasure going to eat here the food is great and the service is top notch, coco the waitress is very helpful and considerate, always making sure you have the best experience! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

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

Came in last night, was served by Lake and Aljona!! Both fantastic, me and husband sat on the bar and we had a great time!! Food and drink was top notch!

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 think I'm stuffed for a week, and everyone's so cool, but Coco added to the vibe, so amazing! We wanted for nothing. An absolute pleasure! Thank you, see you again!!🥂

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

Inesa our server was amazing! The best food and cocktail recommendations, plus her positivity and vibe was as great as the food! NFL on the TVs too made me feel like I was in America! Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in London

Lovely dinner. Wham hot dog. Great service from Deep! Top fella

it's really good for the price and above all we had Deep as a waiter who welcomed and served us very well. I recommend this restaurant! Deep is very Good

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!

Good food , great service, superb !

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!

Excellent food and service, thanks lake for the superb drinks. Will hopefully pop in once again before we head back up north!

hey, i recently came in & i have got to say, the food was perfect, coco was superb, she was so friendly its insane, i will 110% be coming back, honestly i had a great time, please let her know she made me feel so welcome, thanks.

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.

Excellent server as well as the meal

Fantastic food and fast to seat 7 of us ..

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.

Had a delicious full rack of baby ribs. I was served by Vim who did a great job. Thought I was back in Texas. Love the restaurant for BBQ food and ribs.

Popped in for a weekday lunch. Food was great and service by Raul was fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

I’ve been last week here, everything was great! Raul did an amazing job !

The service I received from Gael was impeccable, she was very attentive, made me feel very welcome and took great care of me! Thank you Gael x

Loved the environment of the restaurant, and Gael was such an amazing and friendly server to me and made me feel comfortable, honestly loved her x

Top-Notch BBQ and Bourbon Experience at Bodean’s Tower Hill Stopped by Bodean’s BBQ Tower Hill today and grabbed a seat at the bar. The Bowdean’s Platter was brilliant—ribs were tender, pulled pork was packed with flavour, and the Buffalo wings had just the right spice. Portions were proper generous, just what you want from a BBQ joint. Had a couple of bourbons, including a cracking Old Fashioned, smooth and perfectly mixed. Shoutout to Vim for nailing the drinks and keeping the service top-notch. Friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Gael was amazing! I was dining alone, and she made me feel welcome and taken care of. Thanks, Gael!

Great service, great value, good food - Lake was a really great server

If you’re looking for authentic American BBQ this place is amazing. The ribs and hickory smoked bbq sauce are awesome. Felt like I was in Kansas City! Highly recommend it.

Been to lots of bbq places over time but Bodeans was something different, the quality of the food and the service was amazing. Especially Raul, his service was outstanding. Thank you very much guys.

It is a very beautiful place, I had been through a great service offered by Raul, he’s attention and charm has made the night great with delicious food. Overall I much recommend and will be back.

Is the best place for me and my family to come and have the best dinner, customer service, quality and a great evening. I would like to go again and many thanks to the staff, HOCA RAUL FOR attending and taking care to have the best service,so we will definitely come back.

Nice atmosphere, really goood service from Raul, definitely worth going back! The desert was amazing and excellent food !

I'm not one for reviews, but i just had amazing food and incredible customer servive. thanks lake and alex! will be back soon :)

Great place for food and some casual drinks. We went for a light dinner and found good options at fair prices. Nice atmosphere, not too noisy which is good for conversation. Our server Harry was very polite and attentive. Would go again

Came in at last orders, managed to get some super takeaway and a stunning margarita made by Vim. Thanks to the team for slotting us in! We'll be back a bit earlier next time....

Great food and I got blessed with a very attentive and kind waiter. Thank you so much to Nadia for your service tonight :)

Second time I've been to this restaurant, one of the waitresses called Charsy was very warm and helpful, she was very patient and rushed my drink even though it was very busy during the rush hour!She made my day!

The place is wonderful and our waitress Aljona was amazing !! We thank her so much she was kind and explained everything to us . Recommend!!

Unforgettable BBQ Experience with Incredible Drinks Visited Bodean's Tower Hill and was blown away by the BBQ and drinks. I ordered the Beef Brisket, which was juicy with a nice smoky flavor, and paired it with Vim’s expertly made Pornstar Martini—perfectly balanced and so refreshing. The service was top-notch; Vim and the team were attentive and friendly, making sure everything was just right. If you’re looking for great food, amazing cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere, Bodean's Tower Hill is a must-visit.

Food and atmosphere was great. Really tasty bbq food and nice beers. The only gripe was the waitress was “vacant” I ordered extra loaded fries with my burger, and made it clear (AFTER I WAS ASKED ) if I wanted the fries with my burger too or to make my loaded fries part of my meal.i wanted them part of my meal. Both types of fries arrived. Raised this to the waitress delivering the food to the table, and she walked off mid sentence. Completely couldn’t care less.

None of what we wanted was in stock in the menu got a very strange feeling like the place was about to go under

Visted this bodeans as we have visited the Soho branch before and thoroughly enjoyed it but this Branch wasn't as good staff were friendly but the manager and a member of staff having an argument in front of customers isn't great.Food was nice the ribs were really nice but the fries were really crunchy and hard . Probably won't visit this Branch again.

It's tradition in our house that when we go to the NFL London games, we go Bodeans after! We enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Staff were friendly but also seemed to be bored and like they couldn't be bothered to listen to your order attentively causing incorrect things being delivered to the table. However, this doesn't go for everyone! If you're looking for a nice meaty meal, with sports on around you, Bodeans is the place to go.

The brownie milkshake is awesome! The spare ribs are also recommended.

Great food but for the price the portions were tiny!

Food was ok, nothing to complain about. The service was awful, a waitress that had no communication skills at all! I asked for the service charge to be removed, no one even questioned me on why, they just took it off, obviously very used to it !!

I had high hopes for this place, but was left mostly disappointed. I got the platter for 2 and the best things were the brisket burnt ends, sausages, and beans. The fries were ok. At times a bit too salty. The slaw was okay… I was disappointed though that there was just a single slice of pickle. The pulled pork was okay. A bit oily and not enough sauce. Speaking of sauce, there wasn’t much at all. They did have sauce in a bottle on the size for you to use though. All the meat (except burnt ends and sausages) was dry. Sigh. I was excited to try the food here due to the high ratings.

Enjoyable meal, good service, good food

One of my favourite restaurants in London, nice atmosphere und great food!

We were thrilled with the food last year and made a reservation there again. The store is probably still drawing on the reviews from last year. Menu was changed, portions were reduced, taste was terrible. Food was also cold. Price-performance is no longer appropriate even for London. No longer recommended, it's a shame.

Great deal on kids menus. There's enough to keep an early teen happy

Food was nice, ribs were lovely pulled pork was average but not big portions. Atmosphere and looks was cool. Service was ok, asked one person about the two cocktails for a certain price and she never came back to check on us. Only time we got asked anything after the food was served was did we want another drink

Absolutely lovely food , average price for a pint £5-50 for a cider , small place, and even though it was early Sunday evening, it was packed .

Harry was an excellent bartender😁😁had a great time thank you!!Will defiantly come again!

A fantastic place with excellent food! While the service was a bit slow, our waitress, Saffran, was incredibly friendly and attentive, which more than made up for the wait.

Food was very nice and staff friendly, disappointed to where we were seated. We were sat downstairs but way out of the way in a back room near the toilets. I'd booked this table in advance and expected better. The toilet door was constantly making a slam everytime someone left it and it was frequent. Felt like an after thought sat where we were and just dampened the experience.

11 of us ate in today, very slow service had to wait 1hr for food which was below average quality (except my shrimp skewer, & the wings eaten by 2 others). Then the rude staff wanted to hurry us out as other people were waiting to be seated. Not our fault we were kept waiting. I had high hopes for this American style diner, can't imagine many Americans appreciating this poor standard.

Bodeans is one of my favourites

Our visit was surprisingly good. The meat was tender and well flavoured. The beer was ok. The service was good and attentive. We were disturbed by all the screens, which were simply distracting. It was also very noisy in the dining room in the basement.

The share platter was not as expected. Waiter said the shared platter my partner and I paid almost 29£ each will feed us for 2 days. We devour that in less that 15 mins. It wasn't enough and too expensive. Nonetheless it was tasty and well done. For that I will give it 3* And the fries... Is just a rip-off, imo

Dip & Chelsea made my night great! Super good service, genuine, hard working and courteous people which you rarely find in London. Good was also delicious and served super fast!

I did not dine in the restaurant but I ordered from UberEats literally this order arrived within last hour from when I’m typing this. I could not finish it the ribs were raw and very thin on meat. I have had much better frozen ribs from co-op. Totally unacceptable. What makes it worse I nearly waited 2hrs, but I gave the benefit of doubt. Possibly the worst takeaway I’ve ever had.

Great American-style BBQ and easy lunch seating.

This was the worst meal and service (lack of service) that I have ever experienced . The food was like warm and oily.

One of my favourite places to go. It’s been a while since I’ve been there, but I’m so glad that we chose there to eat with family. The food was amazing, atmosphere was great too, it was a little loud, as there was football on each TV. but it didn’t spoil our time there, we still were able to have conversations amongst each other. The reason I gave 4 stars for service as the food took a while to come, even though we were a party of 14, smaller groups I felt were given their food before us! Maybe the restaurant thought, let’s deal with smaller groups 🤷🏽‍♀️.. our waitresses were very friendly and helpful and were very apologetic about our wait.

Let me start by saying the food is very tasty. However, this last time I visited I was very disappointed. I specifically asked to order the large ribs as these are my favourite menu item, however when my food arrived it was the baby back ribs. These are much smaller and not quite as juicy. When I asked the server I was told you can’t order the larger ribs and there’s nothing I could do. The food was still tasty but it’s not quite what I wanted and I payed the expensive price thinking I was getting the nicer ribs. So I’m not sure why my meal was more expensive than my friends who got the baby back ribs with pulled pork. I got less for more money.

Great as always can't wait for my next visit to London unless they fancy opening in wales

I didn’t enjoy the meat at all, and it tasted as if it had been re-heated. The fries were not great either.

Sold food for a chain great service!

Had a really nice time! Isaac was great, excellent service all round. Food was really good too.

Food was great burnt ends was tasty but customer service was not great,manager was very unprofessional he was shouting and swearing at staff,we were not happy at all by service from server and management..

Typical tourist trap, great looking menu but the quality of the food doesn't reflect the price. Went for the ribs and burnt ends with chips and slaw. Got three dry tough ribs and about 5 bits of cold burnt ends, small pile of chips and some wet slaw. Quite expensive for what it is, but its to be expected for the location.

Portions a bit small for the price, but heavenly BBQ.

Good food and drink, portion sizes are decent, and the service was fast. Well worth a visit!

Great service Great food love the atmosphere at Bodean’s bbq Best place ever for bbq food must recommend Special thanks to Deep our server very friendly

Pure Texan approval! Great place for some BBQ. Try the Peach Cobbler (careful it’s steamy hot)

While walking on Tower Bridge, I wanted to eat, but not street fast food... We came across this restaurant through Google Maps. Cozy, clean, tasty. Texas-style interior with appropriate music. There is a large TV set for football fans. The dishes are delicious. There were four of us and everyone was satisfied with the meals. The price, as for London, is adequate. The only thing I didn't like was the withdrawal of 12.5% ​​for service. Whether you want it or not, you will have to pay for the service. The girl who served us was friendly and did everything right, but everyone should decide for themselves how much to leave a tip. But as for the dishes themselves, it was really tasty. Thank you.

Food great but on the slightly small side compared to years gone by. Beer excellent. Service was friendly and attentive.

Staff were super lovely in accommodating us even though we were a large group as walk-ins!

I am not usually a fan of ribs. However, If you love your ribs, this is the place to go if you are in the central of London.

First class in every way lots of meat and beer great atmosphere

Excellent food, excellent service, a great time had by all

Burgers are really poor compared to cheeper competitors (Five guys / Shake Shack). Clearly the patties are not made on site, felt like a generic burger van type patty with a solid texture and no taste. Not sure what the hype is about. Chips and sauces are good. Waitress forgot to bring us our tap waters after our initial beer order. Got the sense the waiting staff are very new and being trained on the job. Loads of screens to watch sport and a decent atmosphere, however better options available at this price point elsewhere.

Great place, attentive staff, friendly atmosphere

Very lively and classy vibe. The food, the view, and great service by deep. Loved it here. Would recommend to others as well

If you're an American and you're having a tough time adjusting to British food, this is a good place to get a taste of home.

Great food and well priced for central London. Great atmosphere and staff were fantastic

An amazing little gem in London. Highly recommend for all meat lovers!

Quaint restaurant with friendly, amiable staff Food and drinks are really delicious I would go here again at any time

Restaurant for lunch or dinner, very good meats.

Awsome BBQ food and particularly enjoyed the Nachos!

I loved to dine in this place, but now the burn end it's no burn and no even warm, and pull pork it's no pulled... Meh

It was my wife's and my 1st year wedding anniversary, we chose Bodean's because we visited about three years ago and we really enjoyed it. The food was great, although the meat platter for two should have two of those smoked sausages on there as they are amazing. Love the burnt ends too. Service wasn't too bad, but wasn't great either, it felt rushed plus the person walked off before I'd finished ordering. We were actually told it was busy in there and it didn't look that busy when we got there. I asked for a pint of Coke with ice as it was a hot day, and was given a small bottle of Coke. When I said I wanted a draught pint with ice I was told they only do Pepsi or Pepsi Max which was completely fine with me but I should had that explained straight away. It was soo hot in there and there were two ceiling fans in there which were only turned on when I asked. I did notice that the rest of the people dining seemed a lot more comfortable once they were on. Still great little place 5 minutes or so from Tower Hill station and would definitely recommend it.

This is one of those places that is great to visit with a partner or as a group. Plenty of crowd-pleasing food choices available. Staff are very helpful to guide you to the right choices. Superb beer choices as well. Safe to say, that I will happily return.

Fantastic family meal in bodeans tower hill, food was amazing especially the brisket and burnt ends 😋 steak cooked to perfection 10/10
