Yummy as always. Small wait for a table which is standard given the size of the venue. Great service with call back to let you know your table is ready. Yummy yummy yummy when you love the breakfasts and the lunch is pretty good too will keep going back thanks

User

Yum yum yum!!! I took my bestie for a 30th birthday treat... Was a little worried I couldn't book but was reassured over the phone if I arrived after 1130pm I'd get a table and it was totally worth it. Staff were friendly and constantly checking we was happy � food was outstanding.. It's not super fast but also not too slow enough time to have a social meal

We had mains and dessert and we more than satisfied with all that was ordered. Thankyou to the staff at Olivers on the beach will definitely be returning to try out more of the fantastic menu �����

User

User

Went here for first time today, food was amazing, staff lovely. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had, portions were very generous and top quality. Will definitely be going back !!!

User

Went for the first time yesterday for lunch, was told about 15-20 minute wait but only 10 minutes. The staff were really friendly and attentive but not intrusive as you can get someplaces. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.

User

We stopped here for brunch and it was lovely. Lots of choice , cooked fresh and really delicious ! Really friendly and helpful staff ! Well done !

User

We had a full English breakfast here today and it was one of the best we have ever had. The tomatoes on the vine were especially nice. We will definitely return ���

User

Very difficult to drive by Olivers. Their coffee is delicious, beautiful delicious food and the view.... priceless! It remains my favourite place for brunch �

User

The staff are so friendly and inviting. Portion sizes are incredible and everything tastes amazing. I can't wait to go back and try something else!

User

Only waited 20 minutes yesterday , the busiest day of the year in sunny Southend . The staff were very friendly ... my 93 year old Nan bless here was saying to me “ They all know me , I’m allowed to go inside & sit down and wait “ lol ... To my astonishment she wasn’t lying ... All the staff know my sweet Nan as she is a regular and absolutely loves the place & they treat her like the Queen ... I cannot fault the service , the staff are lovely and my food ( Liver , bacon on bubble & squeak ) was delicious , piping hot & so much flavour . Prices are very reasonable, & I will definitely be returning .

User

Never had a bad meal here...staff are lovely, food is excellent quality, plenty of choices & reasonably priced. Occasionally have to queue but it’s a small place & totally worth it! Thank you!

User

Lovely location, good food great service. Yes it’s small and you may have to wait for a table but that’s part of the whole eating experience there. I will certainly be going back there, can’t give a better recommendation than that.

User

Had a wonderful lunch today (only waited 5 mins for a table). Food fabulous as always - thank you so much x

User

Had a really lovely lunch here today, plenty of veggie options and also vegan! The food was was amazing and the staff were really friendly. Loved the quirky décor too. Will be back again the next time I am in Southend.

User

Had a lovely 2 course lunch here yesterday. Portions were huge, food was delicious, staff were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

User

Fantastic, friendly service. The food is absolutely delicious. Tiny space so they do so well to achieve what they do. Demand is huge and quite rightly so for this fab place. Great view of the sea too.

User

Always worth queuing up in the cold for. Every day is a good day for the best ever Oliver family restaurant in my opinion. Bonus is that anyone can get in and keeps the Leigh mums and their reservations at bay...

Wonderful homemade pies and Honeycomb Sundae worth breaking the diet.

User

Great for a spot of lunch today, didn't mind the wait for a table. You lose a star for using plastic straws..

User

We went in and was told about 15 minutes wait so went to sit in our warm car. Whilst doing so we watched people coming and going. In particular a family of three like ours. They walked in and booked and walked out for a few minutes. Next thing they had gone back in and been seated before us, so we were clearly put back on the list and them given priority. We went in and was about to mention it but was told a table was about to become available so left it.Table had been cleaned but I had to clean someone’s scrambled egg off my seat.Was left sitting for abit and a waitress came over and asked if we were ready to order, but we had been sitting there in that time having not been given any menus to look at. Other than that was an ok meal.
