Nice looking place - American diner-like. Not cheap - but it is in the middle of Southend seafront - so its as expected. Burgers looked nice (with some salad and that but were only lukewarm and not that great. Cheese not melted. Chips were not quite cooked enough, and could have done with a few more.

Disappointing and to be honest this is a generous 2 based on decent staff keeping us informed. On food alone it would get a 0.5 to 1 Hotdog sausage was nice but the bun was so stale I was checking it for mould blooms! The burger was similar to that served in schools, cheap discount meat, no sauce a bare sprinkle of lettuce and onion. No pickle, No tomato (in their defence that's all as described in menu though) The chicken goujons were nice. Good potion size and crispy. The doh balls went down well with the kids. Queued 20 minutes to order and then advised another 30 mins wait for food, it arrived after 25 minutes, but still two teenagers were practically bouncing off the walls after 45 minutes wait for lunch lol. The bill for 4 drinks and 4 meals (chicken, 2 X hot dogs and burger all with chips and a portion of Doh balls) was very nearly £70 which is lot given the barely acceptable quality but then again you're paying for location and on the positive side, the staff that do give a damn, they kept everybody informed, were always busy and they were smiling! Something of a novelty these days.

Did not want food from food stands in adventure island . Want to have a proper meal sitting down having china plates and metal knives and forks. But got none of this only cheap and nasty paper cartons and wooden forks. The food was as bad as the cartons very little and might as well of eaten the carton wouldn't think the taste was any different from the food. Meant to be chicken fillet burger plus chip also some dried up pizza and so call lasagna so expensive too. I hate mc Donald's but wish we had gone there a least it would not have cost as much and the kids would have enjoyed it . Now will get reply which say they will pass on to management . Who don't give a toss

My friend and our 2 sons came for dinner here as we were in adventure island and the staff when we collected our wristbands gave us 'kids eat free' vouchers. This saved alot because kids meals are about 7 pounds each. The kids ordered a pizza each and it comes with a drink I ordered pizza fungi because I saw the chefs cooking them fresh on the premises so that was reassuring. I also ordered a portion of chips for my son and I to share and my friend had a chicken burger which come with chips. We were told the wait time was long which is fine as we were informed so we knew what to expect. The girls who clean up tables also do some live singing and they all have beautiful voices which was really sweet to listen to and a nice added touch to the restaurant. My pizza was absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. The chips were nice and 1 portion is enough for 2 to share. If you order your kid pizza I would suggest also getting chips to share as the kids pizza is a bit small so better they have something to go with it but both boys said their pizza was delicious. The customer service was good and the people who work here are professional and friendly. If you are there at 8pm through November you can also see the fireworks through the window which is a lovely experience the boys had yesterday too. Overall a decent place to eat if you happen to be at adventure island.

Went here today for my brother's 18th birthday. I ordered ceaser salad and red slushy, my brother ordered spicy pizza, chips and coke and for some reason he had an extra slushy. What happened was the waitress charged us extra for the drinks. Anyway, my mum ordered chicken ceaser salad and coke. We were literally waiting over 30 minutes just for it to arrive and the salads were expensive for what they were worth. Defiantly will not be coming back here again.

Visited here for food at 14.00. The service good to start, the waiting time for food was one hour.We ordered pizza with garlic bread, only after asking for our over an hour, did it turn up.The pizza was very poor with six pieces of pineapple, the garlic bread was small and cold.We was very disappointed with this and asked for our money back, the manager was not pleasant, and refused the refund.This was my first and last visit there. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME THERE.

It was positive suprise. The place doesn't look very nice from outside. Even inside, I wanted to get out. Im happy we decided to stay. The food was very good, not brilliant but tasty and fresh. The staff was really cool, they sang caraoke songs. It was nice atmosphere and nice meal.

Great location as just next to the adventure island and most of the hotels.Better pizzas and pastas than any other pub or family run restaurants next to beach.We were vegetarians so enough choices as pasta or pizza.Friendly staff and our waitress was extremely hospitable and quick service.We ate there twice and brilliant both times.Must visit if you like american style Italian.

The pizza and pasta we ordered was good and a perfect view of Adventure Island as we sat out the back. However, they almost gave us the wrong food!

Restaurant was fine, staff were very attentive, food was delivered in a timely manner, only problem was after being at the amusement park for most of the day we all felt pretty hot and grimy there was nowhere for the children to wash their hands unless we left the restaurant and went downstairs to the public toilets which were rather smelly. Staff though were helpful and provided some wet kitchen roll so the children could wipe their hands

Pizzas are definitely NOT as fresh as they advertise- had MOULD all over the base! Anyone with a compromised immune system eating this could get extremely ill. Health and safety has gone out the window for this takeaway- super concerning. Don’t even get me started with the staff, EXTREMELY EXTREMELY rude staff, I mean seriously rude staff.

My partner when I’m here this evening and stood there for approx ten minutes and no one asked for his order as they were too busy. Personally he has the patience of a saint. I however will not be ever going in there. Shoddy service skills

I walk past 2 other kebab shops on my way to this one. Great quality tasty food with quantities that justify price... Love this place!
