I'm a big fan of retro-themed outlets done well, and the bosses at Bobby Jo's definitely know their…read morestuff. 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.
