Bodean's (Westbourne Grove)

not bad, like the booth style set-up and it's priced right for the area. minor gripe that one of the daily specials was no longer on offer at 7pm but decentish burger and ribs does the job without being in any way remarkable. willing and pleasant enough service. worth the slight premium they charge to likes of GBK.

I have to say that i strongly disagree with the previous comment! Having lived around the Bayswater area for some time i was suprise to find this little gem hiding down Westbourne Grove! Absolutely fatastic food, the flavours are amazing and the staff are superb! The Manager was constantly checking on all of his guests and made you feel like part o the Bodean's family!

The pig out for a tenner deal is awesome, such great value for money! overall, great food, great service and a fun night out for all!

I went to Bodeans last Saturday. I have never eaten anything more disgusting. It was a friend's birthday and they chose the venue, but as we walked in my heart sank. Is this place meant to be on a par with Aberdeen Angus Steak House, Garfunkel's and the like?? I hadn't thought so, but the dirty greasy carpets, depressing decor and seriously awful food soon set me straight. I felt bad having to eat battery chickens and ribs that tasted of frankfurters. (Can spare ribs be processed? you'd think not but they didn't taste real to me..) And there was something in a piece of pitta bread that smelt like tuna but looked like chicken? pork? I don't know.. Unidentifiable Meat Products all around.. And the bill for the pleasure? £45 a head. I will never ever go again. Don't feed it to your kids.

Finally got round to trying the Wesbourne Grove Bodeans last night. We only ended up going as I had made such as total mess of dinner at home so rather than eat some cremated burgers we popped down to Westbourne grove.

We were warmly greeted by the manager who showed us to a nice booth table upstairs. It is much bigger than Poland st or Fulham Broadway branches with a good mix of booths, tables and even a very large booth for big parties, a bit like the Chicago Rib Shack has done. The manager pointed out a number of good value offers and we both went for the "Pig out for a tenner". Full rack of baby back, fries, coleslaw and a drink, what a bargain.

The ribs were lovely, very tasty just like the other branches. Service was swift polite and friendly. We left Bodeans full and happy which is what I think they aim to do. Will definetly go back

Eaten at the Westbourne, Soho and Fulham branches of Bodeans.

Excellent BBQ. The sandwiches, ribs, and sides are definitely worth it. Even better as take-away. Good american-style BBQ. Service is excellent in all the branches (except when Soho gets a bit busy).

Totally recommend.

Well now I've been here I've only got the Tower Hill Bodean's to go.

This place is a bit of an awkard shape for a restaurant and our table was a bit out of the way, doesn't make for a great atmosphere in an informal kind of place.

Food was great, I really recommend the Soho Special, its such good value at £6.95 for the jumbo and far better than any burger you'd get at Hamburger Union etc... Also they have Sierra Nevada on tap which is a plus for real American beer lovers.

The waitress did forget our buffalo wings which was a disappointment but gave them to us on the house to take home so all is forgiven, and we were more than full already.

Its good but I still prefer the Soho branch, just more of a buzz.
