The Big Easy is a total gem. Tucked away among the sleek skyscrapers of the Financial District and just a stone’s throw from the Elizabeth Line, this Texas-inspired BBQ smokehouse feels like a wonderful escape from the city’s modern architecture.
As someone who smokes my own meats and lives for a good BBQ, I have high standards—and this place did not disappoint. The meat was incredibly juicy, packed with flavour, and hit all the right smoky notes. If you’re thirsty, they’ve got you covered with a massive selection, including their own brew served in impressive steins.
I highly recommend checking out their daily and lunchtime specials; the portions are generous and the value is unbeatable. The vibe is rounded out perfectly by live music every night, which adds a great country feel without being over the top.
The only thing I’d change? I’d clear a little space for line dancing! Honestly, if I owned a restaurant, it would look exactly like this. I can’t wait to find an excuse to head back.

I’ve worked in Canary wharf for 6 years, I’ve always seen this bar but have never walked in. I had a work lunch couple of days ago and I’m glad we had it here.
The restaurant and bar is massive and even though it was lunch, it was quite full.
I had a coffee, glass of coca cola and a taste o Rama which consisted of barbeque chicken, at Louis pork rib, Carolina pulled pork with housemade cornbread and barbeque beans and house slaw upon request. It was absolutely glorious as you can tell from the before and after photos of the food.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely, I’m sure it’s even better in the evening. If you’re in the canary wharf area and you want to eat a lovely hearty meal then look no further than the big easy bar

We were visiting the restaurant for the first time and would like to sincerely thank the hostess Inha for such a warm and welcoming experience. From the very first moment, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and kind, which immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. Inha truly went above and beyond for us — she carefully listened to our wishes, made a real effort to ensure our comfort, and found a wonderful table for us.
For a first visit, this meant a lot to us. Thanks to her professionalism and genuine care, we felt truly welcome as guests. It is clear that Inha loves her job and sincerely cares about people. She is a true professional and a real asset to the restaurant. We will definitely be happy to come back again.

Great American grill diner reminding you of classic country bars. Starters of calamari and chicken tenders were to die for. The mac n cheese meal was exceptional and the tex o Rama was great value for money with the chicken and beans a great stand out however the brisket was slightly dry and bit disappointing. All our meals came included in their lunch deal and all 4 of our meals were 100% worth the money. Would love to come again and try the main menu. Saw a stage with drum kit so would love to see if they do live music on weekends!

We visited in the weekday during the school half-term term break. We did not have a reservation, they had availability for us being a table of 6. We sat in an open booth by the big windows overlooking the river.

The kids eat free offer was applied to our bill which made it very worthwhile to visit.
The staff were attentive and friendly.
The food sizes were spot on, for the kids and adults and the food tasted good.
Overall we were impressed with our visit and would visit again.

We visited Big Easy in Canary Wharf on Valentine’s Day, and overall it was a mixed experience.
First of all, the service was absolutely outstanding from the moment we arrived until we left. Our server, Arnaud (as shown on the receipt), was exceptional. He was friendly, polite, attentive, and genuinely warm with all his customers. He had such a positive attitude and made us feel very welcome. His professionalism and kindness truly stood out, and it’s clear he has a bright future in hospitality. The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms was also impeccable.
The restaurant itself has a beautiful American style decor, with a rustic Southern / American BBQ theme. The wooden interiors, warm lighting, and lively atmosphere create a welcoming and vibrant environment. The bar area is large and impressive, and the restaurant was very busy, which shows how popular it is. The venue is also accessible for wheelchair users.
For starters, we shared the nachos supreme with bbq beans and pulled pork, and they were absolutely delicious, full of flavour and perfect for sharing. I also ordered a piña colada, which was excellent, refreshing, well balanced, and beautifully presented.
Unfortunately, the main course was disappointing. We both ordered the rib eye steak, the meat was also very fatty and not what we anticipated, especially considering the price. While we finished the meal, it was not enjoyable and did not feel worth it. This was the biggest letdown of the evening.
For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding. The presentation was lovely, but the taste was just average, nothing particularly memorable.
The music was quite loud, which made conversation difficult at times.
We paid £212.51 in total, and while we had a lovely evening and truly appreciated the exceptional service, the food did not justify the price. We have visited other restaurants at a similar price point where both the food and overall experience were outstanding, which unfortunately was not the case here.
Overall, the service, atmosphere, accessibility, and cleanliness were excellent, but the food did not meet expectations. If we were to return, we would definitely try different menu options and avoid the rib eye.
It’s also worth noting that a service charge is added to the bill, which is something to keep in mind when dining here, especially considering the overall cost of the experience.

Food was good. Service was not. Tip culture must end.

When we arrived we were given food and drink menus. The first 3 drinks I tried to order weren’t available. At that point I thought we were playing 20 questions – why not just tell me what you DO have?

I ordered the unlimited bbq. They’re using the word unlimited differently to me because I was unable to get any additional bits after I finished the first plate.

The others in my party had a coffee and a milkshake to finish. The coffee has been spilled down the side of the cup, and the milkshake was more foam than liquid. And even then, the glass arrived with less in it than I would have liked.

To put the cherry on the top, they add a 12.5% service charge to the bill that cannot be removed when using the online payment system (which we only did because we couldn’t get the staff’s attention). And then on top of that, they default to a 5% tip on the next screen. Yeah, you can take THAT one off, but they’re defaulting to roughly 17% tip? Yeah, no.

An odd one really. I tried this place over a decade ago but back then there was t a craze for American BBQ food. This time it’s all over social media so I’ve been wanting to try it for a year now.
Menu is complicated, for example the taste of Rama has pulled PORK & PORK ribs. I asked if I could swap out one of the pork for Beef brisket & they could charge me the difference, I was told NO. They serve the lobster roll BUT it comes with Prosecco. We don’t drink so we didn’t get a choice.

Espresso was OK.

There is no flexibility, what if you don’t drink, what if you don’t eat pork. Don’t they get a choice?

Our server was good. She did her job like she was asked. Felt a bit mechanical not much warmth.

I will return to try the seafood for sure.

Traveling down from Milton Keynes to have Christmas do and we had an excellent time! The staff were attentive and patient with our large group. Food came out hot and was delicious. Great lunch time deals if you’re on a budget too. Highly recommended!
