Bob & Edith's Diner - Springfield

In today's world of insta-face-tok or whatever, it's ultimately most important that your food is PHOTOGENIC. Yes, the service was fast and attentive. Yes, the food is great and filling and those fries as simple yet crispy outside and fluffy inside. But really if you can't prove it with a great picture then we're you really even there at all?

I really enjoy coming to Bob & Edith’s. It’s a nice restaurant with a local diner feel. I ordered the country fried steak and loved it. The gravy was really tasty. My friend enjoyed his omelet as well. Only minor criticism is that I wish they had eggs Benedicts.

If you don't like the cool look or great burgers you will love the shakes !!

This was a cute little diner that stays open 24/7. Love the old school atmosphere. Little bit of a limited menu for a diner.

Went on a Friday afternoon around lunchtime. I was surprised there weren't too many people there. We ordered breakfast items, country fried steak and grits, and pancakes with eggs and sausage. The sausages were tasty and the chicken fried steak was crispy and decent. The pancakes were meh. I might go back to try one of their milkshakes. Otherwise, probably won't go for food.

This isn’t an omlette The ingredients should be cooked into the egg, not wrapped in. Should state on menu as well..

I found this place relaxing. Many breakfast choices. I went with vegi omelet and it was very good.

Really nice small but cozy grande good food and go.

Really like the simplicity of their menu, but have only really only come for breakfast. They are pretty busy between 10am and 12pm but they get patrons in and out pretty quickly. Staff is very friendly, but they can be pretty busy and sometimes you need to flag them down. As far as the food goes love the way they position themselves with the breakfast classics like eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage etc. Their chicken fried steak had great flavor and crispy texture even with the sausage gravy on top. Corned beef hash was nice and crispy not too salty which I liked. Ambiance is what you would expect from a diner, pretty loud and busy, but you are still able to have a conversation.

This diner is located in a strip mall with a large parking lot, so parking is not an issue here. It dates back to 1969 an even though they are a self proclaimed Dallas Cowboy supporter, that will not affect my rating and review. The diner has a large dining area and serves a wide array of food including burgers, sandwiches, omelettes, soups, salads, waffles, pancakes and french toast. The staff there was friendly enough, but I will admit that my interaction with them was limited. This diner has a an old-school feel and is opened 24 hours which is a plus for those that have the late night munchies. I ordered a grilled cheese with a side of home fries. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food. I was very unimpressed. The home fries lacked any flavor or taste. I could not even finish them. The grilled cheese was nothing special. I have made much better myself. As I alluded to, I was very disappointed. I would probably skip this restaurant and find another eatery.

This late-night diner is my absolute favorite! After a night at MGM, my friend decided to treat us out because of her winnings. Firstly, their service is impressively quick and efficient for the late hours. As for the food, it's top-notch - I had the fried chicken with potato salad, my friend has the 8oz steak with mashed potatoes while another opted for the pork chops with coleslaw. We shared our meals, and everything was delicious. Although the home fries were a bit dry, the flavor was still there. We capped off the night with a delightful banana split, the perfect ending to our winningly night.

This place is open 24 hours! Which is great if you're looking for a late night spot. They are your typical diner spot, reminding me of when I was a little girl. Some of our favorites there are the pancakes, steak and cheese and burgers!

Just wanted to pass on my thank you and admiration to the staff at Bob & Edith's. Came today (Sunday) and the place was packed. However they seated me right away, took my order and brought out a piping hot breakfast. Thank you! Really appreciate your hustle and customer service here, which is rare to find these days.

Whenever I have trouble sleeping, and I have a craving for some breakfast diner food, this is the place I go to satisfy my hunger. My go to item is the corned beef hash with eggs over easy, some hash browns and white toast. Paired with a glass of OJ and my hunger is sated. Open 24/7 with plenty of parking, this place is located near the Giant grocery store. I believe the original Bob and Edith's is in Arlington, which is quite a ways for me, so the Springfield location is my diner of choice.

Always happy in this place. It's straight forward what the menu offers and you get exactly that. Service is great, good people that can understand English and I mean this with love, at silver diner you gotta point with your fingers and pray they got it right. The place is small but got a traditional diner vibe.

Service was quick and the food is really good. It's a diner and looks like a diner. We came right after breakfast and before dinner on a Sunday hoping to get soup. They didn't have any because we were told that the kitchen was being cleaned and that there was no soup. Again regarding the ambience- it's a diner, it looks like a diner. Barry said that he thinks that the Silver Diner is better. I'm going to hold review judgment on that because when I get pancakes at the silver diner, they are cold. I didn't order pancakes here today- my hamburger was good. The reason for four stars is because they didn't have soup. This is a good value diner.

After visiting their other location in Arlington, as soon as this location came up in my search for diners one morning, I knew we had to go try them. It did not disappoint. Located in the corner of a shopping complex, you don't want to be looking for the silver diner building like in Arlington. They are tucked in, so be sure to keep your eyes out for it. Inside was very similar to the other location. The waitresses were all very friendly, we were sat right away, and before long we had our drinks. The coffee was just right, and my kids were happy to have lemonade and water. We ordered our food, and it came out quick, hot, and delicious. My egg sandwich with turkey sausage was perfectly cooked. The home fries had good flavor as well. My kids shared a waffle at the advice of the waitress based on the size. When I tell you that my youngest loved it (my oldest did too, but was still very tired from our trip), that should be the ultimate compliment. Because this child doesn't eat much of anything! He said it was the best waffle he had ever had. Once again, it was a great Diner experience.

Stopped by for a late breakfast, perfect weather for outside seating. The service is is great everyone works as a team. I was serviced by a few Edith's employees from the servers to the runners all were absolutely amazing. I ordered the a delicious breakfast with delicious turkey sausage home fries and perfect eggs. The toast was one of my favorites with butter spread and jelly. Combined with a cup of coffee and orange juice. I also loved how you had outdoor seating as well as Indoor both locations are comfortable. Great place to come enjoy alone or with friends and family. If you live in the area make sure to stop and enjoy the great menu.

Came in for an early pre-ride breakfast and wasn't disappointed at all. First, being open 24 hours makes it very convenient for my early morning schedule. The restaurant is brightly lit and spotlessly clean. Grabbed a booth, which is spaced just right for someone my size. Simple breakfast menu, which is what I like in a diner. My bacon and eggs came out quickly and cooked just right. The rye toast is THICK and grainy, again a big plus. Service is amazing. A server was at my table almost immediately, asking for my drink order. My coffee appeared almost out of thin air, and again, the server was ready to go. Food came back pretty quick, and except for coffee refills, the server left me in peace. The check was promptly delivered (which doesn't happen in some places) and the bill was on par with other diners. Bob and Edith's keeps the spirit of the American Diner alive and kicking. I don't know how I've not been here before, but I for sure will be back. Thanks!

I would say overall this place is average. It was very busy at noon on a Sunday. If I go back I will definitely sit outside. It was excruciatingly loud inside. Like racetrack or casino loud. Not very pleasant. The servers were busy and not necessarily that friendly. With that said, the food was fine for breakfast. I had a steak and cheese omelette. I like that they offer hash browns or home fries- not all breakfast places do that. My Mom ordered pancakes and eggs. The pancakes were just ok, nothing fantastic. We had to ask for coffee refills. We didn't have very attentive service.The food came out at a reasonable pace. The chairs are not comfortable. Maybe the booths are better. I had to change my son in the bathroom on the changing table. The table was generally in good condition and it was fine enough. Overall an ok experience but there are a few other places I would go to before running back here.

Good diner food at reasonable prices. Didn't realize it was there, slightly tucked away in the strip mall. Apparently we were in the minority, it has been very busy each time we were there, so plan on a short wait, but they move tables fairly quickly. Agree with others, staff is hustling, but short so you may have to flag them down. Food is good sized portions, with all the food and more any self respected diner would have. We've been been a couple of times now, not disappointed at any time.

Nice service and pretty fast but eh I'd rather go to an ihop. Omelette was under seasoned and not very hot. Home fries were pretty cold. And the "hot cake" was sooo flat and pretty dry :/ brother got the country fried steak which he didn't love. Said the gravy was sweet?

I tried this restaurant for the first time today for breakfast. When the toast came, it had very little butter. So I asked the person walking by to come over. He turned out to be a manager named Aaron (could be spelled different). I showed him the toast and said they didn't really butter it and so I'd like to get more butter. He looked at the toast and rudely said, "it's buttered! But if you want more butter then yes I'll get you some." I said wait a minute. You're going to tell me that you consider this little tiny spot of butter enough, and that toast is properly buttered. He said "yes it is buttered. But I will get you more if that's what you want." I thought as the manager, Aaron would want to know that the kitchen is sending out the toast with VERY little butter so that he could correct it. Instead, he treats me rudely as he explained it was properly buttered. I asked him for his name and if he was the manager. He told me his name was Aaron, and then he leaned in to tell me that he wasn't just the manager, he was the district manager (I can't remember if he said 'district' or something else but it was higher management), as if that gave him permission to be so rude. There was no reason for this to turn out the way it did. All he needed to say was, "no problem, let me get you more butter." He didn't have to attack me saying that the toast was properly buttered, especially when it clearly wasn't. This was the first and last time I will be going to any of the Bob & Edith Diner's.

Great typical diner experience. We came in on a Sunday and it was really busy. We waited about 20 mins for a table but it was worth it. The food was fresh, made to order, and not greasy. The service was exceptional, you can tell the servers are use to serving a high volume of patrons. Totally recommend for a good, hearty American breakfast.

The wait staff was the best thing about the place. Young energetic. I had the liver and onions. With a chicken soup. Coleslaw and mashed with brown gravy. Shoe leather is thicker, and easier to chew. The Coleman was good. The soup was average. The mashed potatoes were veteran.

4th time dining at this chain since we moved here last summer, 2nd time at this particular establishment. I have to say, the food is generally delicious, plentiful and inexpensive. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the restaurant and somewhat lackluster staff really weighs on my future visits to this place. Both times our orders were either wrong or missing, and both times the waitress never came to check on our orders or drinks.

Good tasting food, polite and courteous staff and prices are fair. Ambiance of an old fashioned diner; Great and Clean. I've been to other high end restaurants where the utensils were not as clean!

I usually door dash but my son was in town and in the uk the don't have breakfast spots like we do so it was a breakfast tour of sorts during this visit .. this was our last place b4 he went home and he gave it 5 stars .. food is so good here ... way better dinning in . Service was great as well

Bob and Edith's diner is named after Robert and Edith Bolton. They opened their diner in 1969 at 2310 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA. There are currently 6 locations, all in Northern Virginia. This diner is open 24 hours/7 days as well as the diners at 2310 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA; and 5918 North Kings Highway, Alexandria, VA. My wife and I visited on a Sunday at 11:30 AM, and the dining room was nearly full. We were seated quickly. We ordered liver and onions, a steak omelet, orange juice, and Bigelow Earl Grey tea. The liver and onions included 2 sides. The choices of side dishes are homemade coleslaw, homemade macaroni salad, homemade potato salad, applesauce, a vegetable, medley vegetable of the day, french fries, home fries, hash browns, rice, and homemade mashed potatoes. A garden salad is available for an additional $4.59. We chose mashed potatoes and green beans. It came with 2 rolls. The dish had 2 thin slices of liver that were covered with brown gravy and diced white onions. The liver was very tender. It was probably veal. The liver flavor was mild while the gravy was savory. This was one of the best liver and onion dishes we've had in a long time! The mashed potatoes and rolls were typical and okay. The green beans were canned and unsalted. It was the definition of bland. They should change the brand or eliminate it. I definitely recommend the liver and onions if you're interested in liver.    The steak omelet had 3 eggs, cheese, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It came with a choice of hash browns, home fries, or grits. We chose hash browns. Buttered toast was included. The buttered toast had a big dollop of margarine between two slices of toasted white bread. There was nothing special about it. If you want to control the amount of margarine on your toast, you'll need to ask for it on the side. The omelet had fresh vegetables, savory thin sliced grilled beef, and cheese umami. It was flavorful, but a little salt and pepper was needed. The hash browns were crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and not greasy. It had a good fried potato flavor. Their hash browns are one of the best. This dish was quite satisfying because it was very tasty and filling. I would get it again.    The orange juice was nicely balanced between sweet and tangy. It had no pulp. It was dispensed from a machine, so I'm guessing it was a concentrate. It tasted good, and the cup size was big. The Bigelow Earl Grey tea was a full-bodied black tea with a distinctive citrus finish from bergamot oil. The citrus flavor was similar to orange peel. The overall flavor was typical. If you don't like Earl Grey tea, they have green tea and herbal teas.    The dining room and restrooms were clean. The service was reasonably quick, friendly, polite, and responsive. The dishes here are what a diner is expected to have with some variation. The food is generally good, with a few outstanding ones and a few flaws. If you're looking for good uncomplicated food, then drop by and give them a try.

This is honestly my favorite late night diner and I don't understand why the reviews are so low :( First if all, for late night they have pretty good and fast service. The food is really good -- I had 8oz steak with mashed potatoes and home fries. My friend had the fried chicken with potato salad and my other friend had pork chops with coleslaw. We shared all our meals and everything was pretty darn good. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and paired soooo well with the mash potatoes. The home fries on the other hand were super dry, the flavor was there, but it was too dry to finish. We finished off with a banana spilt and honestly a good perfect end from a night out at the bars.

Cute and kitschy little stop! The grits were delish - eggs were adequate. We enjoyed the breakfast but felt it was a bit pricey $50 for two for eggs. Worth the stop if your hungry but could probably find something more affordable.

Food was good.....I ordered a hamburger and the waitress asked if I wanted fries I said no onion rings. She said ok. My meal came with 5 onion rings (small frozen kind) ......check comes and I was charged $5.89 for onion rings!!!! I mentioned this to the waitress and she said "our prices are really high"

The Energy is not black people friendly, especially during black history months where black people or all people of color should be welcomed. this is an understaffed place of service. it's give you too many options on the menu and the food is mediocre definitely a one time and done place.

I came here for brunch and I ordered 2 eggs scrambled well with cheddar cheese, scrapple cooked crispy, grits and 2 buttermilk biscuits. Everything was cooked as desired except the eggs, they were a little too wet for my liking and the biscuits were not hot. I was impressed with the scrapple and grits! Service was polite.

It was our first visit to Bob and Edith's. We heard great things about this place and they were correct. This has got to be the best breakfast diner around! The food was served hot and looked like cooks had pride in what they put on the plate. They had plenty of waitresses working the crowd .. very efficiently, friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this diner. Delicious!

This is my favorite Springfield breakfast spot It never disappoints, and the portions are great!

The prices here are cheap so this is a great place to come to get a bang for your buck! I definitely recommend getting the patty melt which is probably one of the more flavorful items in the menu. It came with warm toast, onions, and soft beef. I added a side of hash browns which were crispy and a generous portion. It needed some ketchup and pepper to help season it up but it was still tasty. I also ordered blueberry pancakes and they were large and came with three. They add a generous portion of blueberries in it whereas most places would only put in a few. They have all the condiments on the side including syrup. This is a pretty good place to go if you want to get full for cheap!

Ok experience overall. It's bland diner food. We had breakfast, and the portion size was large but there wasn't much going for it. The orange juice tasted watered down. There were a few hard potatoes in the mix. I wasn't aware that this was a chain restaurant and when I shared my experience with friends they had similar sentiments. The servers were attentive but there weren't many customers inside. The dining area and condiment bottles should've been wiped down and not while people are eating.

Look, this is a 24 hour diner. It's rare to have a 24 hour diner, for that they should get 2 stars just for that. After a party, you can sit down to nice cooked meal. The food is not bad. It is good. I saw a bad review, but I believe it's so unfair, to rate someone based on the lack of tea they offer you. They are too busy, with many customers to give a customer all of their time. I have been going their for years. I love this place. You meet and observe so many regulars. Its ambiance is that of a diner style of the 50s. When you have people coming in town, who want those southern dishes, who crave scrapple and grits, take them there. You will be a winner. Last, I want to share on a personal note, I don't eat pork; so I eat poultry protein. One day I ate their turkey sausage, now discontinued, and broke a tooth. Bob and Edith, ensured that I was covered by the vendor for my tooth with no fight. They deserve a five.

Unseasoned, bland, undercooked food. Service was okay, but I've had better hospital food than this.

Seriously. Don't bother. First problem, order hot tea. You get one cup Of hot water and one tea bag. If you don't want the particular flavor of tea, that is brought to you, it will take the server no less than three trips back and forth, bringing one tea bag at a time. All I effing wanted was plain black tea. Then you have to ask for more hot water. At the price of a cup of hot tea ($3.49), this shouldn't have to be a request. Husband's fried chicken was good, as was the macaroni salad. Meatloaf was moist but bland, swimming in canned gravy. Mashed potatoes were instant - - no substance whatsoever. Green beans were dumped from a can without any attempt to add pretend flavor with seasonings. Really, NOT the diner I remember and definitely not worth a return visit.

I'm going with three stars. Here's why. There is nobody running the show there. At least there wasn't yesterday when we came in for brunch. Servers were just running around left and right trying to put out." fires." rather than somebody escorting people to tables and what not, it was chaos on arrival. You can tell some of the servers looked way, overwhelmed, and the ones who were confident were the ones that were actually making mistakes especially mine. I was hoping for service with a smile today, but apparently that might not exist anymore. There needs to be a leader in that building during the busiest time of the day. They should be at the front, greeting people and ensuring direction for the staff. I got out of my booth to help an older gentleman with a cane find a seat because nobody was at the front to help him. The chocolate chip pancake. My kid got had more chocolate chips than pancake and was a complete mess. I'm not looking for high-quality however, presentation would be helpful. Hopefully next time we come, I can give a five star review because there is definitely talent in that building.

I was very disappointed with recent experience as a customer who has came here a few times. I came here late at night, not expecting super fast service. However, after the servers got our water and order, I sat for 20 minutes waiting while everybody else is getting there food. The guy server then reassured me that our food will come. Another 20 minutes go by and even people who came after us got food. There was a lady server who seemed organized and on top of her orders, had to remind the guy that we haven't gotten food. The guy comes to us, blames their system that our order didn't come through. Then he retakes our order. After waiting for about 15 mins, I only got half of my order, with many parts either missing or incorrect. That's when I just left. I was not gonna wait any longer for comfort food that takes 5-10 minutes to make at home. It's usually understandable when it's late at night, not a lot of workers available on top of the labor shortage, but this was one of my worst food service ever. It's disappointing because I respect this restaurants history. I hope they can train their staff better. A server should never be this unorganized. It's obvious that we were waiting for food for a long time while every single person (take out, dine in) got their food during that hour of waiting.

Went in for breakfast. Service was amazing, food was great! I ordered eggs over medium, corn beef hash, hash browns, and I substituted the bread option for one pancake. I was not disappointed! At first I thought the prices were little high for a dinner, but the portion size and the taste made it worth the price. I couldn't finish it was so much. Very clean front and back. Worth checking out!

Bob and Edith's in Springfield is terrible. We paid $41.05 for two orders of bacon and eggs, two ojs and one order of two pancakes. Inflation is bad, but this is highway robbery. The service was very poor. Chairs were on the tables as we arrived in the middle of the afternoon, and then banging them on the floor upon our sitting down. The waitress got the order wrong and the cook got the Waitress's order wrong. Try anywhere else.

A good enough greasy spoon diner kind of place. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was just good enough to get me to write this review.

Headed to VA from MD to help a friend pack up his house for his move to New Hampshire. Didn't eat at home so stopped here. Totally random selection, I just pulled into a shopping center and saw it. The sign says they are open 24 hours a day. Ummm have to keep this in mind at 3am when breakfast is needed. Ordered 3 eggs over easy with scrapple, home fries, and corned beef hash. You sit at any available table and they come and take your order. My waitress was nice and took my order by memory. Now we see if she gets it right. It is not crowded but taking some time to get my food. Food is here. Eggs good, hash good, scrapple good but the home fries were so so. Should have tried something else. All in all I enjoyed my meal.

Exactly what you can expect from a diner open 24hrs. We had the biscuits and gravy, a BLT and the French apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I'd say not horrible for something to eat instead of fast food but the more simple you go the better. Biscuits and gravy: hardly seasoned, biscuits are pretty mushy and flavorless. Home fries I had with it were crispy but again not salted or seasoned in any way. BLT: Very tasty, and pretty hard to mess up. Something simple like this is probably best. French apple pie: Didn't know what this was at first but what they're serving is not it. Supposed to be an apple pie without the top crust and a brown sugar crumble. Instead it's more like their apple pie with a sugar glaze thrown on top. Not good at all. Also asked for it warm with ice cream but came cold. Ice cream: Might've been my favorite part. Surprisingly tasty considering everything else. If I ever did come back might try the hot fudge sundae.

Background: 1st time visit Google "breakfast near me" and our choices were here and Silver diner. This was closest. Upon entry, I initially thought "this won't fair well" very busy and crowded BUT Noone had a scowl on their face. So I figured, if they aren't leaving... it must be a reason. I was right! This is a well run machine! Good food, good service and we'll be back! Thanks Zahid and team!!!

They have multiple locations and are open 24hrs which is a big plus. The food is made to order, take a bit but you get hot freshly cooked food. The food is alright, absolutely no seasoning on it l, not even salt. But the good part is you can add your own amount as you please. The servers HUSTLE they are constantly on the move, serving, cleaning and checking back on customers.

Typical Diner. Eggs, sausage. Good food at a reasonable price and clean at h rooms. In and outdoor seating. I couldn't tell if it was because they were short staffed or not but it took way way to long to get the bill. At least 30 minutes after letting them know we were ready to go. We decided to just leave cash to avoid waiting even longer for them to come back for a card, run it, and return. Likely we would have still been there for lunch if we had.

We really like this place as a good cheap option to grab breakfast on a weekend. It's never not busy, specially on weekends but we've never had to wait for a table. It's first come, first serve. The food is good but lacks seasoning. The restaurant itself is very cold. I was practically freezing during my last visit. I couldn't really enjoy my food because I just wanted to get out of there.

No fuss breakfast. They were really busy but we didn't mind the wait. Food quality is consistent as is the service. The servers are always smiling and work as a team. No one stands around. They hustle! That makes a huge difference!

Have not came to a Bob & Edith location since before covid. Service was decent however I can accept that it is out of there hands due to needing more staff. I would definitely come again.

Love this diner. Went in for breakfast today and had an egg white omelet, hash browns and a bagel. Everything was great. The entire party loved their meals, and the server Marela was so pleasant. We dined outside on the patio.

I always like BOB & EDITHS. The service is always stellar. They are constantly checking on us, but not in an annoying way. Also their portion sizes are huge, so be ready to eat!

It was my first time coming to this diner last night and our server Nour was so welcoming and sweet! She was very patient and made such a yummy vanilla milkshake! Our burgers were amazing but I could not finish it ! I loved the old fashioned diner vibe this place gave. Overall the prices are great for the amount of food they give. Thank you Nour for making this a welcoming experience.
