Boo Koos- Burgers-Shakes-Tex Mex in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

ELVIS WAS A CAJUN!Authentic Southern States USA food. Lady owner is from Texas, staff have always been polite and friendly. Big portions for reasonable prices, wide varied menu, great tastes.

We stumbled across this place on Saturday night and are so pleased we did. Food, staff and the vibe were all spot on. Ordered the bacon cheese burger, chicken wings, chips and a shake, couldn’t have improved a thing about any of them, every bit was fantastic. My wife ordered the five bean chilli enchiladas which were also fantastic. Cheap as well, or at least by today’s standards! Highly recommend.

Great place to eat and amazing service from the staff

Wonderful food, had the medium burger with bacon. Some cheesy fries too. Banging flavour.

Great place to visit if you love tasty burgers! Fast service and friendly staff. The only thing letting Boo Koos down is the prices of items on the menu are getting quite steep now compared to what they used to be. Other similar burger joints are offering the same quality and portion sizes as Boo Koos but for a lower price.

Good atmosphere, food is a little too be desired... Mainly for aesthetics. For example, the not dog on its own is really nice, but the chilli cheese on top is bland in comparison... Staff were all really lovely!!

Wow what an awesome place. Staff were friendly. Food was very tasty and Restaurant was decorated brilliantly. Toilets avaliable. Parking nearby. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

A really good burger and fries. Would recommend if you want a large burger.

Had a burger which was great, seemed to be home made too, and a milkshake which was brilliant. Thanks all

Beautiful food, great service from friendly staff. Will deffo be back again when we return next year

THIS is how to run a restaurant! Almost absolutely faultless (only not completely as they didn't have the key lime pie available on either of our visits but, whilst dissapointing, didn't overly detract from our experience). From the outset, warmly greeted, super friendly & very efficient staff. Fantastic atmosphere, incredible food and at really good prices, especially given the quality. On our 1st visit, I went for the Buffalo Ranch Burger .. omg, I've not had a Buffalo burger this good since California! Oh, and the blue cheese fries? Amazing! Booking recommended, particuarly at Weekends. Seriously, if you're visiting Falmouth and don't visit Boo Koos then you're doing yourself a massive dis-service!

Great food and very helpful and friendly staff

Absolutely delicious food and brilliant service as usual.

Huge portions, not too expensive and very tasty food. Lots to choose from in a really varied menu. Decor is cool too. Main thing though - service was top notch. Our waitress was so friendly, happy and helpful, if I had employees like her my job would be a lot easier. Her name began with "Sh" I think, but forgot her full name, sorry!

I had an evening meal here, Beef chilli with mexican rice and warm corn bread it was delicious, a very generous serving as well. Washed down with an imported mexican lager. Very enjoyable.

Our first visit to BooKoos in Falmouth last Wednesday and we were really impressed. Myself, my wife and one of our daughters came out for a treat and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The welcoming atmosphere was evident as soon as we walked through the door and we really liked the American bar/diner typed theme which was realistic without being over the top. Our server, Zoe, was exceptionally pleasant, helpful and polite and is definitely a huge asset to the business. The food was just amazing, the portions generous, and the large selection of various different milkshakes was just out of this world. (I had the Terry’s chocolate orange and it was perfect.) All in all a wonderful meal and we will definitely be returning at the nearest available opportunity.

DELICIOUS FOOD! Freshly made & tasty

Always a pleasure eating here. The staff are all so friendly and helpful, food is delicious and atmosphere is great. Highly recommended

Burgers are nice but really expensive for what you get

Incredible food venue and staff. Absolutely recommend. The vegan fried chicken burger was killer.

The best American food anywhere in uk. I had to come back this year on my hols. If you like burgers thus is the place. Shame there's not one to north.

We are regular visitors here at bookoos as we live locally but after our visit today we won’t be returning. Firstly the service was so poor. Took ages for us to be served in the first place. Food comes out and it looks good however was flavourless and dry. The chips were stale and dry also. Feeling disappointed by the meal we went to order our milkshakes and I was confident that as always, these would make up for it but as soon as we had a sip something wasn’t right. They tasted awful, they had an almost buttery taste/gone off milk. Definitely didn’t taste like Kinder bueno and definitely was not up to the normal standard. Very disappointing after spending £70 on two burgers chips and milkshakes, so won’t be returning and will be telling people to try elsewhere.

Very nice burgers but expensive. Burgers do not come with chips so you need to order them separately Excellent service and atmosphere

I celebrated my 60th birthday on Saturday 17th August with family. The server was excellent and very polite and fully understood my allergies and was professional. We gave her some of my birthday cake as we all felt she deserved something. This is the 4th time of eating at Falmouth Boo Koos and never disappoints. Burgers are excellent. Thank you

Having eaten at the Helston restaurant last year which was incredible, we visited Falmouth this time for some more milkshakes. A signature of Book Koo's and will be going for more over the coming years, keep up the great work guys!

Myself and my family have been here quite a few times and we’ve always received 5* service and amazing food. All staff are friendly and attentive, we were served by Fin last night who was truly amazing. The manager has also always been lovely everytime we’ve visited, definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good meal in Falmouth

Great atmosphere and food, extremely welcoming staff, will return when next down! If you can open one in Dorset I'll be in daily!!

Good varied menu but overpriced for very average Tex Mex inspired food. This is nothing you couldn't knock up at home if you have even rudimentary cooking skills. Very hit and miss on service. Sometimes really fast and good other times a long wait. For what you get the prices are a bit high. Overall it's fine for a quick fix burger or similar of very average quality if you're hungry and in the area.

Amazing, the food was delicious

SOOO TASTY AND REALLY NICE SERVICE OMG! We got a bunch of food and all of it was sooo yummy and delicious and very cheesy! Arrived quickly and you just wanna eat everything!!

Found this little beauty whilst on holidays and the food and shakes were absolutely fab! Good vegan options (always a challenge for us with lactose intollerance) and this was aptly catered for and options sought and discussed with staff with no issues. Well worth a visit! Highly recommended

Food was fantastic. Packed well for takeout and really great price for the portion size.

Absolutely amazing service and delicious food, would definitely recommend

Always great, food is amazing and the service is the best.

Good restaurant, food was awsome and well priced. We Will be back. Wish we had one in st austell or truro.

Only gets 2 stars from me for this latest visit. We ate at boo koo twice on our last visit to helston as we fell in love with the red white and blue burger. Mostly because of the oozing mix of cheeses. We are in Falmouth on holiday and rushed in for the red white and blue once again. Very disappointed I'm afraid. Barely any cheese and quite dry. Not one to complain, I merely mentioned it to the waitress as I paid my bill and included a tip. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere is amazing. Tip for the chefs, get some more cheese on the red white and blue please!!! Perhaps don't overcook it either.

Easy to book table via website. Restaurant stylish, clean, tidy. Shenna was our waitress. TOP class. She was friendly, energetic, helpful and went above and beyond. Immediately welcomed with a smile and complimentary tortilla chips + cheese dip. Water for the table in no time. Quick and easy ordering, with no errors. Fast tidy up when eating finished. Couldn’t pick a single fault. The group of 4 were in firm agreement that Shenna was 110% the best waitress we had all experienced in our lives. She is a credit to Boo Koos. Well done and thank you.

An unexpected choice for us but a good surprise too. Great burger and the cheesy fries were immense.

Despite a group of 50 school kids arriving, the staff were all smiley and helpful. Great nachos, even better cocktails

Great food, great service, great ambience.

Excellent food and atmosphere and service by Shenna was perfect - will defo return

Went as a group of 4 Saturday 29th June lunchtime. FAB FOOD And incredible service The chicken burger would feed you for a week .Thoroughly recommend

From the friendliest of welcomes to the tastiest of morsels on offer here, I was in food heaven. I cannot wait to return here, we had such a great experience, big thanks to the team!

Had a delicious lunch and milkshake will definitely be back next time we are in Falmouth

Lovely visit, great food. Nice selection for dietary restrictions. We both had a lovely meal

A seriously great Tex-Mex experience- -and as a native Texan with Tex-Mex restaurant experience myself, I know it well. We loved the frozen margaritas, jalapeño poppers, nachos, chicken quesadillas and rice and refried beans. We can vouch for the excellent Texas-style service. And the atmosphere is homegrown (literally, since Lisa is from home and brought it all here). It made me homesick. Huge vegetarian menu, BTW. And Dr Pepper. And root beer floats. Just sayin'.

Thought I'd update my review to 5 Stars after a great visit today with amazing service from 'May'. She was brilliant, very efficient and polite with a lovely attitude. She never stopped serving, she was great to all her tables, really impressed, a credit to the establishment👏🏼...Boo Koos Falmouth is a great UK version of a US 'style' eatery, with a plethora of American branded signs & neon lights adorning the walls. An escape from the usual with a great selection of nice, but pricey, beers. Food portion sizes are large & very filling so beware, especially the size of the fries portions, I over order every time I visit, but they always offer a takeaway box, a nice option. Menu isn't for peeps on a diet, and it tastes amazing! As usual with any decent venue in Cornwall, it's sooo much nicer now the sun's out and the tourists haven't properly arrived yet! 😎

Nice American style food ribs were great but they were a big portion which I thought I could handle. The milkshakes were also very nice!

Really average food. The bar had a nice setting etc but the burgers were dry and not anything to write home about. Really disappointed. Service was good.

There was 8 of us plus a toddler. Drinks mains and sides all arrive in descent time. All the food was hot and delicious and brought to the table almost all at once. The staff were fast friendly welcoming hard working professionals. Genuinely truly impressed and could not recommend more highly. Top marks all round. 8 adults left very grateful for a perfect night out. Thankyou

Not a great experience, from front of house to quality of food

Always love coming here, specials are always awesome and definitely worth having they seem to put a lot of thought and time into them. The restaurant itself is always clean and spacious and staff are always lovely.

Would highly recommend you book this popular American diner restaurant very busy, a true one off with its Wild West themed decor and atmosphere. The food was amazing real meaty tasty burgers that were huge everyone enjoyed their food the waitress was very attentive. Definitely recommend this for everyone wanting an American diner experience.

Told server that my daughters chicken was not right, said they would knock it off the bill but didn't. Overall a bit poor.

Falmouth, Cornwall. Gluten free menu, dairy free menu, vegan menu and vegetarian menu…what more could one ask for?! This place is paradise for people both with and without diet restrictions …but especially a treat for those who cannot eat a burger normally. Their alcoholic drinks were good too. The burgers and other things on the menu (chicken quesadilla etc) taste fresh and delicious, service is quick, ambience is warm and friendly, location is right in the town square …fabulous find! We went back twice during our visit. Wish we had them where we live.

Boo koos has to be the world's best burgers. I've travelled a fair bit to the US, Australia, South Africa, UK, India, South East Asia and so have the rest of my family and we all unanimously decided this is the best burger place! The burgers were hand made and so no preserved taste and the meat was so fresh. We wanted to have all our meals for 2cdats there but finally had 2 out of 5 and decided to try other places lol 😆 The best part is they have Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegetarian menus! I was just sooo thrilled to get an awesome #Gluten Free Burger and my sister a # GF and #Dairy Free burger!

Amazing choice of tex mex dishes. Really great staff and a cracking atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Excellent, service good,food yummy ,interior design fab!

First time here. Great food and great service. We will be coming back for sure!!

Fab restaurant. Had vex-mex which was delicious. The service staff couldn't do enough for us. Very impressed and recommended.

You need a big appetite, food is excellent along with the service

The food was really nice, not overly expensive but above an average price

The spicy pineapple margarita was 10/10 the food was good espically the chicken quesadilla & the hot wings our waitress was very friendly & attentive will be coming back

Absolutely stunning food the decor was amazing and felt like in texts. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Need to book to get a table is that popular next time we down there will be going again. Recommend the chicken fried steak was sublime

Visited Boo Koos as a family of three on Monday 22nd April at 3.30pm after a recommendation. Greeted by a polite lady from behind the bar area who showed us to a table. There were only two couples dining and so after perusing the menu and waiting ten minutes my wife checked with the said lady about ordering drinks. She was informed it was table service. After waiting a further ten minutes we got up to leave informing the table waitress , who had been chatting with friends, that we were fed up with the abysmal service. This is not the first one star review about the dreadful service at Boo Koos and I have no doubt it won't be the last. That is unless somebody in authority takes appropriate action.

Asked if they had space for 3, was told to wait in the window. As we waited for 10 minutes another group of 3 came in without a reservation and was immediately seated. Left and went up the road to spoons and was served immediately

Great place for a burger or text me good. Great shakes and good portion sizes

Great burger the pulled pork on top was great

Have been here twice now, and all i can say is its amazing, food is high quality product, staff are great very attentive.

Friendly staff, 4⭐️ for the lack of napkins and utensils, I had to get up and ask... they gave it

Absolutely shocking. Waited 30 minutes and still notcocktail the first 2 I ordered they had no ingredients. Asked how long they were going to be they were finally getting made 30 mins in . Asked how long our food was going be another 40 minutes. Staff rude and not got a clue how to be polite . Was time

Cornwall is a busy place and the restaurant was full when we got there. I would make a reservation. That being said, the young woman working there was very kind and got us a seat. They bring free nachos. We’re from the United States and so we were blown away by all the Texas memorabilia. Apparently the owner is from Texas. Burgers were amazing. The pulled pork sandwich was great. they have a wide variety of shakes. Fun atmosphere. We were really happy.

Amazing!! If I could eat here for every meal I would, the service is wonderful, the atmosphere is like no where i’ve been before and the food is off the scale! I’m already dreaming about my next visit and my daughter is so excited to come back!

Majority of food 5/5, unfortunately we ordered 2 x the ribs, and ribs seemed over cooked and dry, not as tender as expected. Chicken burger was moist and flavoursome 5/5 Guiness burger ( my choice) was amazing, juicy and so so tasty 10/5 Milkshakes 5/5 Only downfall was ribs..

Lovely place great food as always! We had a lovely waitress called sheena. She was lovely so friendly and nothing was to much trouble for her. She is a credit to you. Thank you ❤️

Good range on menu and reasonably priced. Service was good and friendly

Shockingly awful service. Came here without a booking. Admittedly on a Saturday night. However despite being 70% full we managed to get a table at the window/stool area. There were approximately 10-13 staff walking around, no one front of house to greet customers. No order of place at all. Chaotic and totally disorganised. We ordered and had our food. The food is good and credit to the kitchen staff. But the experience of dining was poor. Very little acknowledgement of customers. No one ready to take orders despite a plethora of staff behind the counter. No one to check in on you after receiving your order. Staff seem apathetic, vague, disinterested. I complained to the duty manager. No apology. Lots of excuses about training new staff who are all students and how the manager of the Helston restaurant had left so the Falmouth manager was covering. What a load of tosh. The food is good but the service is shockingly poor. Often I see reviews where people slate a restaurant online but seldom raise an issue at the time. Well, I did that. Raised the issue at the time. What did I get? Excuses and no apology. If I'm looking to have a burger again in Falmouth, Bookoos would be a final choice. You get better service at Whetherspoons. Now that's saying something.

Amazing food We were with Americans too and they also enjoyed the food and drinks

Great food. Staff friendly although got overcharged for drinks which got sorted and food was forgotten a couple of times but didn't detract from the evening.

Fantastic food, definitely eat here on special occasions

Great food, fantastic service, obviously had to book, but you get a lengthy slot, more than enough time to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Our first time and we'll certainly be going again. I highly recommend

We have visited Boo Koos many times and the food is consistently good - unfortunately the service isn't so reliable. The staff have never been rude so-to-speak, but the service is mostly blasé and extremely slow. We're often left feeling like we've been forgotten about... It's a shame because the food really is great.

The service was amazing and as two people who like burgers both my self and my lad rate these as the best burgers we've had. Shame we live so far away. Oh portions and prices a great too.

Excellent friendly service. Very good food.

Best place in Falmouth for burgers and associated food.

Excellent service food was very good too Lovely friendly waitress very friendly and helpful will be returning thanks. 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Very friendly staff food good too would recommend to others.

Anyone putting this place below 5/5 is either lying or hasn't been there. Best burger place bar none.

This is a massive family favourite for us, always get excellent service, really nice selection on drinks and food. Atmosphere is quite mellow but amazingly comfortable, food always served nicely and good temperature, never feel rushed so yes a huge recommendation any day or time of the week.

Ever reliable and great value. Lovely chips, fantastic burgers and lovely staff. Can't ask for more!

Just a great place to eat even for gluten free.

Lovely American style restaurant, and actual REAL Tex Mex, because the owner is Mexican, from Texas! Great atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, in true American style, and the decor is lovely. Very friendly and attentive service, and they cater for gluten free. My son is at university in Falmouth, so I will definitely be heading back for some more delicious enchiladas 😋

Perhaps we're not the target audience here but Boo Koos didn't hit the spot. The menu looks good, and I like the concept, but for us the reality was that we received a lot of meat (too much really), which was covered in sauce, but not a whole lot else. So it's not that the meat wasn't tasty, because it was pretty good, and the side dishes like the tater tots and the cornbread were fine. But somehow none of it was quite good enough to finish. Which isn't quite what you want when you go out for a meal. Maybe we were missing something? Still at least the cocktails went down well!

Doesn’t deserve the ratings. Or maybe it’s mostly rated by teenagers who like the ambiance. Vibe is cool and I’m sure the shakes are nice. But the burger was pretty gross and I’m sick now. Probably mild food poisoning. I mean, that’s the only thing I ate today so it can only be that.

Excellent food,drinks, service. Value for money is excellent, 2 cocktails for £8 Mon - Fri 5 - 7.

Good food, friendly staff and good quality 👌

Great meal with that catered for everyone.

Food was great with lots of vegan/veggie options. Decor was fab and the service was faultless. Highly recommended.

Burgers are great very filling staff friendly would recommend

Slight food issue sorted by a great waitress ( may)
