We came on the 17th for my birthday and had the best time! The waiter carmello gave excellent service and made sure we were all happy which can be hard with a table of 7 so thanks you. The food exceeded our expectations and all meat was falling off the bone and juicy, Lots of flavour and we left with happy tummys. Bodeans we will be back!

We love the flavours and staff are great. The food is generally very good. My ribs were very dry and over cooked but my daughters were perfect. The wings a little dry also and the coleslaw had an overwhelming taste of celery and could have done with a little more sauce on them as they used to be. But we love eating at Bodeans and have done since it opened. So keep up the great work guys

The group at the meal had a great time. It was the first time since last year that we were able to meet together in a restaurant as a family. We were celebrating my mothers birthday. She had a lovely time, as did we all. Thank you.

Our waitress Annie was exceptional, professional, kind, fun but not too much. Having been to the restaurant before. I’m horrified to know that the waiting staff only get 3% of the service charge. Shame on you Bodeans

The waitress was nice enough but i wasn't able to exchange pulled pork for a sausage for one of the platters. The waitress was quite unhelpful and said it wasn't possible. Asked if she could ask the kitchen but she said it just wasn't possible and that i needed to order it as a side. Disappointing as it was very much a "computer says no" type situation and impacted my overall experience.

Very disappointed with a quality of food. Corn tasted like plastic, over cooked. Chicken burger with jerk sauce was really plain and tasteless, not sure why it’s called jerk sauce and chicken breast didn’t have any seasoning. Burned ends was a main dish I looked forward to , unfortunately they were dry. Really disappointed, especially the quality of food you used to have , not coming back .

The meat is good but some of it was very salty, the baby back ribs were dry and my Mexican salad was very overpriced for some lettuce - there was very little rice or avocado, no radish, a few black beans and no dressing. The service was charming and the atmosphere was fun but there’s room for improvement.
