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.

The best mac 'n' cheese this American has had since coming to the UK. Great Bacon double cheeseburgers with so much flavor. My son loved his ice cream float and oreo milkshake. Fantastic, friendly service. Jukebox playing old favorites and the pink and mint green decor promises a 50s diner. Promises were kept. We will return!

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

It has been over a few years since me and my wife came to Bobby Jo's and it was kind of how we remembered it, the food was great, the milkshakes were amazing and to to top it off the dessert was the icing on the cake. From the staff being friendly to a lovely 50's decor, I would recommend coming to Bobby Jo's.

It looked like an interesting diner on the outside. So we took our birthday boy to enjoy the experience at 5.30 on friday afternoon. There was one other couple just finishing their order and they left shortly after our arrival. We ordered drinks while two staff members moaned and swore at each other. Meanwhile the chip mess was still scattered all over the Monroe booth floor. There was no urgency to clean up and they both left the building to continue their inappropriate conversation. Our food order wasn't fulfilled as there was no serloins or rumps left. We were given a discount for our drinks, for the inconvenience, but it tainted the celebration. Sorry, but not the best atmosphere or environment. We won't be returning.

Me and my partner had spent the night staying in Southend and visiting the theater. Needed a well deserved, fully cooked breakfast. I had the Truck Stop breakfast (usually comes with beans and tomatoes) was so tasty. Great services, very quick for the food to come out too. Loved the decor and the music was right up my street. Highly recommend, and very reasonably priced. They do all sorts, from milkshakes to cocktails... and burgers etc. Will definitely return to try these out.

On a Sunday afternoon with free Christmas parking opposite I was expecting the place to be buzzing, however it was empty, there were 2 staff looking very bored. Menus are a bit worn, the interior is fabulous and looks so good for an American diner. The menu is extensive and having followed the venue on social media for years I had big expectations. The Mac and cheese was watery, it hadn't been grilled either like the photos show on previous reviews, the chicken tenders are small, the curly fries were on the wrong burger tray (easily fixable), 2 of our drinks were forgotten for a good 15 mins. We were the only people in the restaurant but didn't feel like we got great service, we weren't asked about anything else, eg more drinks (we had to ask for more napkins). A very disappointing visit but can see huge potential! The vegan options are immense and the not 'chicken' option was fabulous.

Went here for breakfast before going out for my Grandsons 3rd birthday. Great place, love the American dinner feel, with 50's music and memorabilia. Breakfast was good value. Definitely worth it if you're going to Sea Life Adventure across the road

Worst restaurant ever. Didn’t get any acknowledgment when we walked in as all 3 young staff would rather be on their phones behind the counter. When we finally asked them they said sit wherever. Then us and 3 other families in different places all waited 30 minutes before someone came over to ask what drinks we wanted. Bear in mind the there was only 1 other family eating in there so it wasn’t busy. The floor was disgusting and dirty not what you want for a restaurant. Our baby daughter dropped her blanket on the floor and it got covered in dirt and food. I had to go up and ask to pay at the counter in the end as you barely saw a waitress. Then they didn’t have any change in the till 😂. Will never be going back and if you do want to eat there I suggest you go soon as I’m pretty sure they will be shut down within the next month or two. To top it off the food wasn’t worth waiting for 🤮

Had High Hopes, Love the look of an old American Diner. 'Milkshakes Best In Town' Was a shame, wasn't thick, Very Milky, Just taste like a Nesquik Milkshake you can do at Home. Pulled Pork on Chips, Nothing special, Pulled Pork didn't taste Homemade, more like out a Packet and Microwaved. Order Chicken Wings and they were very tasty and Crispy.

Smash burgers just yes. Tried this place many times gotta say very tasty and well seasoned. Burgers always were a hit. Fries are crispy and especially with the dips, honey mustard to be precise. Tried the buffalo style fries they were okay I mean I won’t get them again but that’s just me. Buffalo wings I have had on a few occasions and have been really good just once it was lacking a little sauce but all forgiven. Overall really nice spot for Southend. Wish them the best.

50's style diner in Southend on sea. Loved the single chicken BBQ burger, with coleslaw, and sweet potato fries. We had a banana milkshake and I had a raspberry milkshake. Really good meal, thoroughly enjoyed it 😘

Great food. Great service. Unreal milkshakes would recommend

Popped in for a quick drink at lunchtime, and wasn’t sure what to expect but got lovely service and welcome. Kids were delighted with their shakes/ice cream/hot dog and we liked our coffees/ice cream. Really pleasantly surprised and we will return. 👍

Fantastic 50's themed diner,all the interior,the food and drink and the music 🎶 of course, all first class..Great place to slip back to our parents time..Good clean toilet to.

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
