After a healthy lunch consisting of Yellowfin Tuna (Ortiz I say!), Pasta (Martelli!) and salad I was left wanting a little more for dinner last night… BODEANS!
I’ve pretty much worked my work through most of the meat on this menu. Today’s special was the Jacob’s ladder. Been there, done that. So good old Beef Back Ribs with Chilli Cheese Fries and Slaw.
And some Eli’s Original Cheesecake to share.
So in summary, like I’ve said before, Bodeans is probably amongst the best barbecue in Soho. But, perhaps not so with this diner’s meal! The portion, of a half slab, was decent but I suspect the chef who assumed I was unable to add salt to my chips, decided that I needed a high sodium diet and went hell for leather with the seasoning. Far too much salt. Horrific. And how small is that portion of cheesecake? Give me American sized please. Especially fo £4.30.
… I’ll be going back soon of course.
(yes, it’s a casual blog entry today but it’s a start and I’m still waking up. Been a while again right?)
Edit: I am regular at Bodeans… and news of a loyalty/membership scheme is good news. I’ve been to three branches and had some pretty horrific meals but some thoroughly enjoyable ones too… – 5th January, 2010
And here is a photo from one of my more recent trips. A full rack of spare ribs.

It’s been far too long since my last (and so far only) visit to Bodean’s.
I really enjoyed it when I went but it might be time for a re-visit and a proper review to be posted.
Most of what we had was very good, but we had the same ‘problem’ with the fries. Far too much salt.

What a shame! I’ve always wanted to go to Bodeans for a meat feast, but overseasoning is horrific…
