What Maria James likes about Porky's BBQ Bankside:
Nice atmosphere, great choice of drinks.... staff friendly, food is good not great but.... some of the best ribs ive had in London! When we visited the menu looked smaller then when i have been before downside.... upside good choice of side dishes! View all feedback. What ChrisP doesn't like about Porky's BBQ Bankside:
Food was OK, service was terrible. Someone was on our table, and the staff seemed unable to do anything about that, so we got a tour of other tables instead. Orders weren 't taken. Staff couldn 't advise on food at all as everyone 's tastes are different . Food was slow to come. Starters were mostly good. Mains were boring. There are a lot of better places to eat, with much better service. View all feedback.

My wife and I were on vacation in London and we found some BBQ near the Globe Theatre. They didn't have the beer I wanted, but I got another one.

I'm a huge aficionado of Porkys at Shoreditch box park, but haven't been there for awhile.

Porkys restaurant offered a mixed experience for diners, with some feeling disappointed by the portion sizes in comparison to other burger joints in the area. However, one reviewer highlighted the tasty food and accommodating service, making it a great option for special dietary needs. Another customer expressed dissatisfaction with the service, having encountered mistakes with their order and unprofessional behavior from staff. Despite mixed reviews on the food quality and wait times, many diners appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service at Porkys, praising dishes such as the ribs and wings as some of the best in town. Overall, while there were some areas that could be improved upon, Porkys seemed to offer a generally positive dining experience with potential for a return visit.
