Reviews in Southend On Sea

Absolutely blown away by this restaurant! I came with my partner as we're both trying out the vegan lifestyle and we were both incredibly pleased. The restaurant is small but cosy and quirky, with board games available to play. The food is delicious, and the corn on the cob is hands down the best I've ever had in my life! My partner does not like sweetcorn and usually treats it like arsenic but he actually gave it a try and loved it! The flavours are incredible! The drinks are also delicious and serve some of the best cocktails I've tasted too. The staff are chatty and friendly and the whole experience and atmosphere in general was excellent. Cannot recommend enough and I will most definitely be going again!

Excellent service, excellent menu and lots of gluten free options which was fabulous for me as this is always a struggle when I go out. Staff were very pleasant and very sufficient, would highly recommend to others.

This is fab American diner restaurant. The food and service are great and the music gives it a great atmosphere. The Ribs and Burgers are tasty and reasonably priced. Our nieces love the milkshakes too.

I’m a repeat visitor to Grumpy’s - I love the warm welcome and their extensive GF menu. The food is always fresh and delicious!

Absolutely brilliant food and superb service from George. Loved the music, inner decor and the food and drink menus were diverse and broad. Will definitely go again

Lovely lunch. Service great. Food was hot, fresh and tasty, service quick, helpful and friendly. Would recommend wholeheartedly to anyone, vegan or otherwise. Definitely book though because it's tiny. Best vegan meal out for years.

Fantastic food and service, enjoyed a great family meal will definitely be returning :)

Vegan Food is METALLLLLZ! Took a trip to Stoked over the weekend , I’ve seen them popping up over my Insta for the last couple of months and when I saw they were hosting a metal night it was a no brainier! We were greeted by a treasure trove of quirky memorabilia , the smell of woodsmoke , candle lit tables and rockin friendly staff .. not to mention badass tunes. We went for : Limited Edition Ghost Wings - made from oyster mushrooms coated in the crispiest batter and a hellishly hot sauce , these were SO good , I couldn’t stop ,even though I was seeing double! Hattie B’s Fried “Chicken” - the texture on these buttermilk Seitan tenders was phenomenal and I don’t know what wizard created the Sweet Nashville Hot Oil but it was amazing , crispy Cajun fries and pickles. Mac & Cheese - no explanation needed , Creamy and delicious , not to mention the crispy topping! Also an honourable mention the the themed cocktail list (there were tonnes more cocktails too) and selection of beers including masses of USA rarities. Can’t wait to try some of the other offerings including the new pizzas and someone said “steak” night with Tiramisu! Don’t threaten me with a good time .. Thankyou team Stoked see you very soon!

Always a good time at Stoked - with incredible food and beer, top class service and chill vibes what more could you want!?

Everything about grumpy's is great, if I could afford to eat out every week I would make this my best place

Great food, as always. Close to pay day, so we popped down for the burger deal on Thursday night, real bargain for what you get, no compromise on the food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

Food was very tasty, personally portions small for the value. Got out and had second dinner at home. Place is clean, very nice atmosphere. Dessert borderline inedible (specifically the brownie) Probably won't be back

Amazing food, great service, you have to try it!

It was my second time here with my group of friends, booking was extremely easy and food was served very fast, but still tasted delicious. Overall 11/10 I loved it

Lovely cosy restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious vegan meal followed by a pineapple cocktail. Best cocktail I've ever had. Very nice, friendly host.

We visited on the 2nd March and had a fantastic time. We were a group of four adults plus two children and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating- a curated beer tasting for the adults and games of peek-a-boo for the little ones. Billy is a fantastic host- passionate about the food and the beer but also just incredibly warm and friendly. We sampled most of the food menu and everything we ate was a feast of flavour. The starters were a particular highlight, particularly the chilli "beef." Beer fans will also have an absolute ball here. Let Billy be your guide. We would love to visit again.

Our second breakfast visit to Grumpy's and we enjoyed it just as much as the first! The food is great, the surroundings are fantastic and the waitresses are really attentive and on the ball; nothing is too much trouble for them. We're fans of Grumpy's and will definitely be back - several times!

Amazing food and drinks. Massively recommend
