This immensely popular Chelsea party palace is modelled on the kind of cheerfully ramshackle old crabshack you can still find along the Gulf Coast if you know where to look. However, the Big Easy really has more in common with another American culinary tradition: the slick, corporate and altogether fairly wearying road-food chains that dot suburban strip-malls and the theme-park paradise of your average Las Vegas casino. The atmosphere is fresh, friendly and agreeably raucous. A TV upstairs screens US sport, while a guitar-toting duo rattles out bar-band covers in the basement. The food, though, is another matter. Everything is served in massive portions and at pretty outlandish prices, but flavour is conspicuous by its absence. Calamares was soggy and bland, and a crab-claw starter forgettable. The much-heralded lobster was unpleasantly watery and the accompanying fries no better than adequate. Meat dishes are better, but the ribs that formed part of our surf-and-turf combo weren’t a patch on those at Bodean’s. Despite the best efforts of the excellent staff, this is a dispiriting place.

My story is different, more so than I would ever have wanted. three years ago, covering a small war no one wanted to know about, I broke my neck in...

Don't waste your money go somewhere else. Popped in for a quick bite order got mixed up so had to wait a while. Waiter nice enough running around doing his when it arrived large portions but devoid of flavour. So unmemorable have forgotten what we ordered. But the place was busy so can only think that the locals must have more money than sense and numb tastebuds.
Fun, Loads of Energy, Great for the family. I have two terrible nephews - they get into trouble at every turn. I needed somewhere where my sister approved the food and somewhere where these kids wouldn't be such a handful. The staff were great, the food tasty - My Kobe Burger was the best I have ever had and the rest of the family chowed down on Cheese burgers , except my sister who loved her Lobster. The drinks were good the music great and above all the kids were good. I really rate it!
Complete waste of money. My partner and I paid almost £40 for 2 cheeseburgers, some garlic bread and some cokes. The burgers were below average (with cheese they cost over £11 each) and the chips weren't even finishable. I don't care if it is on King's Road - they have no right to charge that kind of money for that kind of food. AVOID.
It was Excellent!
