We were on vacation from the States and wanted to try a little taste from back home so we decided…read moreto try Bluegrass for lunch on the last day of our trip to the wonderful UK. I ordered a basic lunch of the smoked chicken quarter and sweet potato fries. It was delicious, if I'd closed my eyes it could have been one of the better BBQ restaurants back home! The chicken was tender, with a nice smoked flavor that was noticeable but not overpowering the chicken. The sweet potato fries were among the best. Usually sweet potato fries tend to be a bit on the soft side with no crunch. These were scrumptious with a little crunch on the outside and soft and steamy inside. Yum! The slaw was also a hit with me. The dressing was a bit different than what I'm used to, but I couldn't figure out why. Nonetheless, it was a vinegar base that went well with the chicken and had a nice jalapeño kick to it! The sauces were good, I tried them all, but the chicken didn't really need any sauce. I will note that the mustard based sauce was unlike any I've tried but I am not fond of mustard base sauces to start with so I've not tried many. The service was good, our server was pleasant and it was nice enjoying BBQ in a rustic pub atmosphere. My only complaints are the slaw serving was a bit small. It was just the right amount to put on a sandwich but to me it wasn't enough for a side; and part of the chicken breast was just a wee bit on the dry side, but not enough to really detract from the meal or make the chicken tough. I've smoked enough chicken to know that chicken breast can go from moist and juicy to cardboard pretty quickly so timing can be very tough. Overall I found the meal delicious with some great smoked chicken and superb sweet potato fries! If we're ever back in the area I'll be back here for a meal!

The brisket was very delicious and juicy, but like all beef in the UK, very expensive and very small portions. Not very Texas, but I get it. The ribs were just as good and it felt like more value. The biggest difference was in the sides. Vinegar in London is not like in Texas. The potato salad was not what I expected, and the pickle packed a lot more punch. But the Fries were superb, as was the chili. We enjoyed the cornbread, but it was nothing extraordinary. All in all, this is a great place, awesome vibe, and I most likely will not revisit this place the next time I'm in London but I would recommend it to others.

We shared a couple of the starters; the pretzels with dough balls and the brisket hash. Both were very good, preferred the pretzel dish over the brisket. The brisket is in more of a gravy than BBQ sauce, and has a slightly bitter, smokey taste to it. I would prefer a more sweeter sauce, like the pulled pork is in. The chicken wings are tossed in a hot sauce, though you can request BBQ. We tried an array of their meats, our favourite being the pulled pork. I was disappointed in the brisket as it's no longer sliced but pulled now and as stated the sauce needs working on. The platters are huge and best suited for sharing. Their desserts are really good too, and again ideal for sharing. I had the brownie stack which was amazing. We really enjoyed our meal, however it is on the expensive side. Starters and desserts are £7+, mains start from around £13, £20+ for platters. We ended up taking some of our meat to go. They also have a coke freestyle machine so drinks are unlimited!! They have a selection of steaks I'd like to try next time I'm there. Enjoyable meal. Our server was very friendly but service is a little on the slow side.

Baby back ribs: not necessarily fall of the bone type of ribs, but if you give it a good tug , some of the meats will slide off its axis. I enjoyed it for what it's worth. Obviously, the smoker is limited in scope , so I'm not expecting Texas style quality. Was a little chewy in some places, but also tender in others. Had a preference for the chiptole bbq sauce rather than the hickory. Fries were mostly good (minus the tiny bits). So close to the meats, the fries absorbed some of the smokiness flavor. Slaw: low-point of the bbq. They used way, way, too much dressing. Like it was flooded. Also the cabbage wasn't cut finely, but presented as whole chunk slices. Would definitely not recommend this one. Overall minus the slaw, I enjoyed Bodean's
