About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Welcome to Bodean’s Soho, your go-to destination for authentic American barbeque nestled in the heart of London’s vibrant Soho district.

Conveniently situated on Poland Street, a stones throw from Oxford Circus, Carnaby Street and Tottenham Court Road, we’re the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal with friends, or exploring the vibrant nightlife, shopping, and entertainment that this iconic neighbourhood has to offer.

You may have seen it in the dispatches, but we’ve joined forces with chef, butcher and meat expert Richard H. Turner to deliver our menu – Richard is regarded as the ‘King of London’s Carnivores’. We’ve been focused on going back to our original philosophy of ‘Barbecue, Bourbon & Beer’ and as always, we’re still smoking our own meats but we’re really embracing the art of ‘low & slow’ to transform our signature cuts – think, Brisket, Jacob’s Ladder and Baby Back Ribs to name a few.

It’s the first bbq restaurant we’ve been to in the UK since moving back from the USA and the food was phenomenal!! We tried so many things off the menu, but the stand-outs were the burnt ends, smoked turkey, and pickles. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Staff were great and the food was lovely although one of the dishes on the menu wasn’t available but still lots of choice. Definitely worth a visit.
