Grumpy's Diner - Southend-on-Sea

I ordered her vegan burger with sweet potatoes while my partner had only a part of the potato frits. I wanted to mark this a 3 but thought that a bit hard like 5 stars is not available unless it is a veggie place. The burger was beautiful and the added salad is free. If you want the sauce added it is 50p a splash, the vegan cheese is another £1 and Jalapenos £1 along with other extras £1. Therefore, the burger can become very expensive. At least I would have liked a sauce with her as a freebie. The boxes in which they come are much more environmentally friendly than the polystyrenes that are often sent by takeout companies. The service was faster than expected and very good. Updated by previous review on 2021-10-31

For an American diner it surprisingly has many options for vegans. Great welcoming staff. Good service. Great decor, the room is full of memorabilia. They had a spider hunt for children at Halloween which was fun (not real spiders! We've been a few times and they've always been fab. Definitely worth a visit. I've not been in the evening so can't comment.

Staff were friendly, Vegan options were good (ask for their seperate menu), food tasted good we had breakfast and it was well thought out, freshly cooked and tasty.
