The decor and uniforms, old posters and photos and period music throw you straight into 1950s America. It's such a shame the sea wall opposite obscures the view of the sea! As far as food is concerned, the Bobby Jo's team also know their stuff when it comes to burgers. Their offering is made on site to a Bobby Jo's recipe, and it's fantastic. Good beef has been used, and the patties are fat and well seasoned. Each time I've dined here, the burgers have maintained their standard and flavour. You can have a classic burger, but their San Fransisco option is equally delicious. The standard fries eaten on my most recent visit weren't up to the previous standard, although my companions adored the curly fries. The milkshakes are out of this world, and come in all sorts of flavours while worth the wait, I did feel the service was a bit slow when it came to the shakes. We didn't get them until we'd started eating. Also, I felt the young waitresses could have done a better job of throwing themselves into the spirit of the place. They were quite lacklustre in their bearing, and a bit sloppy our table was not laid until we were served our food, and there were no condiments until requested, despite every other table already having them. I'd have given an extra star if the girls were as good at service as the main man (I believe him to be the owner). He was fun, cheeky and clearly loving his job.

Saturday afternoon was spent with family at Bobby Jo's Diner at Southend Sea Front, and it was…read morerather lovely! After getting a parking space which took a few goes around the car park due to the sun shining and Southend being full of things to do, we managed to get the last table in there! Myself and the partner in crime both had Rodeo Burgers, cheese, bacon and onion rings on top of a 6oz. burger, which was amazing! I got curly fries and he got normal fries, and we left our plates empty! One of our party was veggie and she loved her veggie fajitas, so we were all very happy with our food choices! The atmosphere was really nice and it's great to see a local family business doing so well. I'm sure the stunning Cadillac parked outside may have something to do with it, there were constant crowds around it taking photos as it shined in the sun! I can't wait for my return.

Great burgers, amazing craft beer selections. Easy peasy!…read more Byron is expanding and it's a good thing! I've been to a couple of their branches and this new one in Bluewater shopping centre.

Great interior, super friendly and brilliant service from waitress, comfy seats, lovely chips with skin on and every condiment that you need for a burger. However.... the burgers are such an integral part of the experience (well duh!) that it only gets two stars in my eyes. The chef just doesn't know how to cook them. They recommend medium. I asked for mine to be medium - it came out medium. So far, so good. (It was a bit gristly, and not the best meat, but I ate it, so how bad could it be?) However, my sister asked for hers to be medium-rare, just a little pinker than medium. When it arrived, it was raw with the edges kissed by the grill, so it was also cold in the middle, and bacteria-friendly warm towards the edge, so completely inedible and possibly dangerous. Fine, we thought - we'll just get another one, and the waitress was fantastic - really sympathetic and apologetic. We were happy, it happens... but 30 minutes later, a very well done, dried out burger was brought back after the chef had quite publicly disputed the sending back of the first one and made some joke at our expense. We gave up, they very kindly took both burgers off the bill (I was prepared to pay for mine, as I had eaten it) and we left. And I'm sorry to say that despite the loveliest waitress in the world doing her absolute best with a terrible chef, we won't be going back. :-(
