About Molo Lounge

Molo Lounge is a restaurant in Southend On Sea with live jazz at lunchtime, played by a singer on guitar. The space has a bohemian feel across more than one floor, and books are on hand to read and return, so diners can browse while they eat. The menu centres on burgers, including a pulled pork burger, a Diablos burger and an avocado chicken burger, with vegan options alongside. Staff ask about allergies beforehand, and coeliac and gluten-intolerant diners have been catered for. Orders go in by QR code at the table, or diners can order at the bar. The full bar also serves iced coffees and other coffees. Molo Lounge opens daily.

Customer Review Summary

Burgers anchor the praise at Molo Lounge, with reviewers naming the Diablos burger, an avocado chicken burger and a pulled pork burger alongside Louisiana chicken, buttermilk pancakes and tapas, which diners call delicious and piping hot. Close behind is the handling of dietary needs: one diner with coeliac disease says she could eat safely, another party included a vegan and a gluten intolerant guest, and others mention vegan choices and allergy questions asked beforehand. Reviewers also describe a warm, cozy room with books to read and return, live jazz at lunchtime and a singer with guitar, and iced coffees called top tier. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and one couple received drink vouchers for a birthday. Complaints are smaller but specific: one reviewer found hardly any pork in the pulled pork burger and only about ten chips in a small bowl, another found the breakfast sausage disappointing, and one says a busy Saturday evening was noisy enough to make conversation hard. A quieter Monday evening was more enjoyable.

    “The staff here are so wonderful, they made us feel very welcome and were thoughtful to my partner’s birthday too, they even gave her a gift of some drink vouchers for a future visit. The food was deeeelicious and everything served in a timely manner. Hope to go again on our next trip to southend! They are also amazing with allergen concerns as my partner has coeliac disease and she could eat safely here.”

    “Great restaurant with fab food. Bit noisy when its busy though. Visited twice when visiting friends and family in the area. Early Saturday evening was busy and had some difficulty hearing those on my table because of the general talking in a busy restaurant. On Monday evening restaurant was mucj quieter and was more enjoyable though the food on both nights was great, especially since there was a vegan and vegetarian but gluten intolerant person in our parties. Service friendly and efficient amd throughly recommend. Will definitely eat there when visiting Southend again in the future”
