My Experience

I visited the Big Easy in Covent Garden on Sunday at 7pm. We made a booking for four to celebrate my sister's birthday. The restaurant itself was quite busy at that time so bare that in mind when reading this review!

The Menu and Pricing

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the menu was. There is a large selection of starters to choose from followed by 'Real Pit-Cooked FRESH Bar.B.Q', 'Fresh Seafood', 'Steaks', 'Speciality Sandwiches' and 'Homemade Side Dishes'. 

I decided to go for the 14 oz sirloin steak because I'm a massive fan of steak with fries. My sister, mum and dad decided to go for the lobster fest. 

14 oz sirloin steak and fries = £30.40

Lobster fest = £20 (includes fries and a Slushie Cocktail or Schooner of Ice Cold Craft Lager or Ale. 

As you can see from the prices above, the steak is very expensive but definitely worth it! The lobster fest in my opinion is very cheap for what you get. 

The Food, Drink and Service

I cannot fault the food, drink and service at Big Easy. My steak was so delicious and I really enjoyed the fries. They were very crispy which is how I like it! I really struggled to finish the steak though because the portion size was quite large for me. Perhaps, for a guy eating the steak, it would be the perfect sized steak. My mum had a cocktail which contained a lot of vodka which got her very drunk as she does not usually drink alcohol which was absolutely hilarious. She really enjoyed her drink though and my sister enjoyed her lemonade. My parents and sister really enjoyed their lobster fest. They thought it was a very good sized lobster and the fries were nice. The only problem that occurred during the meal was how difficult it was to get the shell off the lobster. Big Easy provide you with utensils to do it yourself but we needed assistance from the waitress. The waitress we had for our meal was very attentive and polite which we were very grateful for. 

The Atmosphere

This restaurant was right up my street. Great atmosphere, lively and vibrant with great décor and a live band playing downstairs.

Overall

I would 100% recommend this restaurant. I really enjoyed it here and would definitely return again. It is a little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. The staff are attentive, great atmosphere and fantastic food. I would only suggest you avoid this restaurant if you are after a quiet meal because it is more on the lively side. 

If I had to rate this restaurant, I would easily give it 9/10. Book a table if you can to avoid disappointment. Also, Big Easy have daily specials so check it out here to get a good offer!
