There are many injustices in London’s restaurant scene (I’m still hurting after the closure of Rex and Mariano), but few things annoy me more than unworthy barbecue restaurants. The likes of Porky’s, Bodean’s and Red Dog Saloon have been opening up new branches across the city, despite serving up food that ranges from dreary to mediocre (although they could be worse – a lot worse). There is some justice in this world though – Texas Joe’s, Dragon’s Den veteran and purveyor of beef jerky, has finally settled down in a restaurant a short walk from London Bridge station behind the Guy’s Hospital complex.
Quite easily top 5 BBQ spots in London for me. The brisket was absolutely delicious, was really tender and flavourful. The chicken wings was the second best thing on the menu for me, the meat inside the wing were really juicy, and it had amazing spicy flavours (dry rub)
The pork and lamb dishes were also very good but I'll probably only get a brisket and wings as I loved those the most.
The bacon wrapped jalapeno was an excellent starter, you only get three per plate so order more if you got a large table.
Don't forget to order a Michelada, it's like a spicy bloody Mary. It paired really well with the food.
I would 100% come back here for more and try out some of the whiskey's next time.
Really great quality meat and all food was delicious. The portion of the bbq could be slightly larger or cheaper though. The grapefruit margarita was very tasty and with a bit of a kick. The other drink not memorable. Friendly staff and nice to sit outside on a good day!
