Greeted by lovely staff, all very smiley and friendly. Great atmosphere. Love the easy listening music, foot tapping along whilst eating, not too loud, so we could chat too. Breakfast was delicious, very filling, didn't need to eat again till dinner time. Good value for money. Lovely mug of tea, perfect.

Took my dad here for a meal and they had the table already reserved close to the door for him. Food was good only down side was our starters came out with our main meals. The portion sizes were good too. Staff were welcoming and always there too help. Shame its just a small diner.

An evening with my nephews so was never in that much of a rush, but from ordering to food it was about 45mins, and to honest for the price it was nothing special. For 2xHot Dog meals, 1xBurger meal, a couple of sides and then Milkshakes came to nigh on £100, for which I don't really expect chips that are obviously just from a frozen bag, dry and taste less, onion rings not that much better, ketchup was no better than what you would get from a burger van. Didn't complain as it was just an evening with my young nephews, service was fine in terms of welcoming apart from the wait for food and left a tip for the girl serving. Would I go back, not really it's nothing special, better burgers at 5 Guys.

Wonderful meal for a family 21st birthday. Big Daddy challenge was a lot of fun (failed it though!) made it memorable! Loved that the kids had fun games to play with, and customer service was great. Would highly recommend

We visited Grumpy’s Diner on Saturday during a weekend trip to Southend, and it was the highlight of our visit. The entire team was fantastic and incredibly accommodating.A special shout-out to our waitress, Chloe, who was exceptional and gave us such a warm welcome. As for the food—it was hands down the best food I have ever eaten out! They have a great selection on both the food and drinks menus, and the cocktails were amazing.Everything was very reasonably priced and the atmosphere was great overall. It was a really positive experience and I already can't wait to go back!

We came to Grumpy's for my daughter's birthday, as always, the service was great from start to finish and Kerry brought out the Happy Birthday banner sign for my daughter, which is a nice touch. The food and milkshakes were yummy. And we enjoyed hearing about the challenges they do. My daughter enjoyed her birthday dinner very much - thankyou x

Have been to Grumpy’s several times now and everytime the experience is just brilliant. Staff are so welcoming and the food is just great. Definitely the best American themed diner I have been to.
