The Restaurant was full. Starters and Main course came all together after
1 hour from ordering. Our Server was excellent but Restaurant management of the orders from customers was Zero. Management said that they were struggling due to the huge amount of orders

Easy to book plenty space not to cramped up with other tables, which was good. Prices alright shame no peach cobbler which I wanted. Chip portion could be. Little bigger but waitress was friendly drinks came quick didn't wait to long for food. We arrived early but they fitted us in. Which was good overall would go back.

The say was busy but the service was quite spotty. We had to ask for water 3x before it arrived and due to not being able to flag down a server or get a word in to order cocktails we decided to go elsewhere for a final round. The Thanksgiving menu was good value, but unfortunately just a bit bland. The best part was the smoked turkey leg but the ham was mediocre.

Food was good and portion sizes generous.
It was quite noisy downstairs so conversation was difficult - but I recognise it was a busy Saturday evening,
There were very long waits both for the starters and main courses. When delays are going to be experienced, it would be good if the waiters could explain and apologise.
The prices seemed on the high side but I acknowledge we are not from London. I expect they were competitive for the area.

Was shocked with the ambiance of the restaurant, looked like a run down pub. Tables wasn’t clean. It looked very unprofessional. I took a friend here for their birthday and I wasn’t happy with the choice of bodeans. I’ve been to one in Fulham before it’s much better than soho. Was quite disappointed. Food is decent. Staff are friendly, over all room for improvement.

The service and the food was most certainly worth the visit, the fact that we were there on a Monday evening was perhaps why it was a little quiet. Clearly not Bodeans fault but it just took a little bit away from the visit.
Thank you for remembering it was Archie’s birthday - that was a lovely touch.
We’ll most certainly be back.

It was a lot better last time. The cranberry sauce (I think that’s what it was) tasted like soap, there was a 1 person portion of mash potato (and my boyfriend who avoids carbs usually pointed that out), the turkey breast was sooooo dry. The leg and ham were both delicious though. Despite this being a yearly thing we book, because it’s usually incredible, this’ll be the last time we join for it

The chef made my ribs on a grill that hadn’t been touched by pork. I had gone a long way just for the beef ribs, and was very upset at the thought of it not being available without pork touching it. It meant a lot to me that the head chef saw to my needs.

Great night, great food and drinks. Staff could’ve been a little more attentive as when we wanted to order more drinks, we had to flag someone down after waiting for so long

Our server Kordell was great, really courteous, welcoming and considerate. He made our evening, it has been a while since we have been to Bodeans. The food was not as good on this occassion, burnt ends and baby back ribs were good, however, the chicken was a bit on the dry side and the spare ribs were too salty which impacted the flavour of the ribs. So as I said earlier, the service is what made our evening rather than the food, which is a real shame as we had waited so long to enjoy a meal with you. Not sure when we will dine with Bodeans again, but we hope we can give a 10/10 review.

Had an excellent assistant, he was jolly and kind, explained our options to us.
Food was amazing, even though I thought the platter was too small in the beginning.
Ended up ordering another one to take home.
Praises to our assistant

Booked a table for my birthday, there was no acknowledgement of the occasion. Almost felt like the staff didn't care as they were more fixated on watching the England football game. My vegetarian friend of 8 years was served a beef burger and ate a small piece of it leaving her distraught when she realised. Although the lovely waitress was extremely apologetic and replaced the dish, the whole meal was ruined which upset me as I chosen this restaurant and felt as if I had made a bad decision and disappointed her. Please consider re-naming the smokey Jack and smokey Joe burgers on the menu to avoid this happening again to anyone else. Will not be returning.

Avoid the Soho branch, it looks like a Soviet era dive.
Try the Tower Bridge one instead, which resembles a more authentic US experience.

The food was brilliant, the only issue we had was there was quite a large amount of fat in the pulled pork which could have easily been removed if it had been shredded a little more . However everything else was delicious, super tender and really good quality . We absolutely loved the Texas sausage

I’ve been to Bodeans many times before and the food has always been excellent, me an my wife both had the Ribs and both were quite tough and tasted like they had not been cooked for long enough (normally the meat falls of the bone, I also ordered some spicy chicken wings which were very dry and over cooked to the point you could not taste any of the flavour/sauce. Luckily our friends had the burnt ends which were much better than our meals. Very disappointing.
