Bobby Jo's Diner in Southend-on-Sea

Went here 3 years ago and popped in again today and it was still as nice as the first time we visited. The menu is simple but there is enough variety on there to make you think about what to choose. The food came out quickly and the staff were friendly and attentive

Food was really nice love chicken wings and these were some off the best, service on the other hand from some off the staff was awful so much so we didn't tip and we always normal tip being in the same industry it would've been 5 stars!

Amazing choice of vegan junk food, lovely staff, great atmosphere and a wonderful experience. They’d sold out of their vegan ice cream so couldn’t do any vegan milkshakes but that just makes me want to go back to try a vegan snickers milk shake another time.Definitely worth visiting.

We had a very enjoyable lunch time family meal at the American style Bobby Jo's Diner in Southend. Portions were extremely generous, the food was all very good and the staff were friendly and accommodating. All ages were welcomed, including our 10 month old grandson in his large pushchair. As we could not finish all the food, the leftovers were kindly placed into cardboard boxes for taking home. Well worth a visit!

We visited on New Year's day back around 2018.Was made very welcome by the host.Loved the 50's vibe and decor even though the 50's is before our time.Will visit again soon now that it has reopened.Would recommend this restaurant as its different from the mainstream.

We had fun watching the large bolshy waitress getting rid of as many customers as she could _ like she didn't want patrons! The hot dogs were over priced and sausage not even put in roll and sauce everywhere so was just huge mess. Big mess behind counter looked unkempt.

Me and my partner visited Bobby Jo’s Diner for breakfast on my birthday and the service was lovely. We were greeted at the door and our order was taken quickly and our food arrived promptly. It was absolutely delicious and the waitress even put candles in my pancakes and sung happy birthday which was brilliant. I’m gutted I couldn’t finish my pancakes but they were amazing. If ever we come back to Southend we will most definitely pop back in here.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with my partner and two little ones. Service was fine, food arrived in a reasonable time, well presented and nicely portioned. The burgers were excellent although the chicken on all the dishes was a little over cooked, aside from this, a very nice meal

Today I went to @bobby_jos_diner to review their gorgeous food 😋😋😋 on arrival I was greeted by the very friendly lady behind the counter and made to feel so welcome. The interior was absolutely stunning I literally felt I was in a proper American diner in the US ! I was given the St Louis hot dog to try which is basically a monster hot dog🤣 it obviously includes the sausage 🤣 and it has Bbq pulled pork, crispy onion bits, bbq sauce, and lots of melted cheese and it sure is a bludy monster 🤣🤣 I also had a portion of their beautiful crinkle cut chips with it too. On the first look at the hot dog I was terrified thinking how the hell will I manage that and where do I start ! But I sure managed it 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 very messy but just how I love it !!! The hot dog sure as hell had it going on a huge concoction of flavours right there and all of them together made it taste so delicious !! The sausage itself was so tasty and meaty and fresh and nice and hot, the onions lovely and crispy, the bun very soft and fresh and the bbq pulled pork literally melted in my mouth.. absolutely gorgeous !! The crinkled chips were lovely and fresh and cooked to perfection not under cooked not overdone - just perfect. All in all the food was great and I fully recommend @bobby_jos_diner to all who live around. #southend or who will visit in the future. They have an incredible menu of burgers, pancakes, waffles and so much more amazing stuff as well as lots of food challenges too !! Definitely not one to be missed.

All of the waitresses were so friendly! Completely happy to help and always smiling. The decor is terrific and the food was gorgeous (my friend still hasn't stopped talking about his chicken and Mac and cheese burger! He loved It!) 😊 we'll be coming back for sure
