Bob's Diner in Roxborough is a classic streetcar-design diner of another era, but it still offers…read moretraditional comfort food, hot coffee and community. Just what we wanted on this blustery Saturday morning. The diner is ensconced within a lot bordered by the Leverington Cemetery and the non-denominational Epic Church. I had been to Bob's a few times and it was nothing special save for the friendly staff. But someone in the Inky's food crew noted its charm and put it in "76" for the paper's 2025 end-of-year list of recommended Philly eateries. So I decided another visit would see why. Bob's is funky in its own way but on this early Saturday morn Bob's charm and character surfaced immediately with our entry into this friendly, worn but clean dining space. I felt we were greeted with just the right amount of neighborly welcome--sort of like a communal joie de vivre. We joined a sizable crowd inside but were seated immediately in one of the street-side booths. Functional, movable tables and chairs make up the other space with lots of natural light coming from the many windows. Old stools ran the length of the original half-oval counter with the short order grill inside a quarter oval. We could see the kitchen behind the swinging doors but mostly we paid attention to the man at the grill. It is not a big one; manned by a grill guy handling some large orders and doing it like he'd worked it for ever. Of course, it is Jim Evans, the OWNER! It is certainly not the menu that drew this crowd today because there is nothing that stands out on their standard breakfast menu save, perhaps, the chipped beef pretzel described as famous and homemade. Probably is but we eschewed it for their popular Two Egg Eyeopener. Our choice was right on. Lovely twin eggs over medium, classic home fries & onions and good ole corn beef hash with bottomless coffee while rye toast sopped up leftover bits. YEAH! Our goodbyes were as heartily received as our welcomes. It was worth the trip and I'd do it again--in any weather.

This diner is known for its chipped beef. Not that I'd order it, but I thought my husband --…read morethirty years in the military -- might want it. Nope! Bob's has an old time-y feel, which I like. But not enough to bring me back. Despite the diner's popularity breakfast was mediocre, starting with coffee. Weak! Their omelets are intentionally puffy. (I hate puffy.) The cook cracks the eggs into a milkshake machine to achieve the consistency. Home fries are eh. Our waitress asked if I wanted mine with onions. Sure! Why did she ask? No onions. Just boring potatoes left too long on the flattop. To be fair, my eggs over-easy were pretty good. I got a platter that also came with free (weak) coffee and bacon. Not interested in toast -- though one of the choices is cinnamon raisin -- T and I shared a short stack of pancakes. A tad undercooked, yet good. But the syrup dispenser was so sticky, in need of a thorough cleaning. Cash only. I think there's an ATM on the premises, but sorry Bob. Not impressed. One and done.

This is why I dislike going to black establishments. You know what I'm talking about. Because…read moreyou're not a regular or no one knows you, certain black establishments treat you like you don't belong. And expect for you to kiss their ass. Let's begin... I go in the bar and approach. It's semi-crowed. I look at one of the female bartenders, she looks me dead in my face and says nothing. Wait , what? I turn and look at the other female bartender. Once again, I'm looked in my face and nothing. Then a guy bartender asks me , what I'm drinking? As soon as I was about to place an order one of the barmaids made a comment with some customers, insinuating I was gay!!! Wait, what? So let me get this straight. The 2 women looked me dead in my face and said nothing. I could have really caused a scene. I have an issues going to any establishment where it feels like I have to beg you to take my money. I may be only one person, however; poor service will eventually catch up and hurt the business.

I've come here several times. I try to come on a day when they have a special. Tuesdays there are…read moredifferent Seafood specials: $1 Shrimp that you can only order for dine in , crab legs, soft softshell crabs, snapper. Me and my friend ordered the $1 shrimp which are getting smaller. They were not cooked properly. We had the fried fish which were 2 nice size pieces if fish however it wasn't cooked enough. I requested that they not fry it too hard, but it could've been fried a little more. I did take away so I can just put it in my air fryer at home. Lemon pepper wings: a little too much lemon pepper and over cooked. Drink special: mango margarita. The drinks most times are good. I found out that they automatically do double shots in their drinks. It's on the menu I was told but I missed it. I'll pay attention next time. Is dark in there so you have to use your phone's light to see the menu. Hennessy punch was on but $24 for a drink is a bit much. Most times they always have something going on, karaoke on a Wednesday. They seem to have a great number of regulars so a lot of times you can barely get a seat. You can have a birthday parties here also. The DJ is not bad. Overall, the places is OK good music but the drinks need to be lowered and the food improved.

I had the spicy tuna bowl and a couple of our group had falafel pitas and we all loved our choices which were delicious and prepared with excellent, fresh ingredients. It's a small storefront on a Germantown Avenue corner, but the vibe is friendly and welcoming and they make the most of that small space. Highly recommended!!

I had the poke bowl ($27) and wifey had the grilled chicken salad. Very little lettuce and a good amount of chicken. This is tandoori style with good flavor. The poke bowl I asked no onions, even the 'not even crunchy onions?' Question I said NO. My poke : 'no onion' was 2:1. Geesh! Brown avocados. Brown avocados on this $27 bowl that was to have a 'mixed' base of rice and mixed greens. More rice and drenched in dressing (and onions!!!). Small amount of poke. The website is antiquated or at least not mobile friendly. Call in your order and again, clutch your pearls. The tabouli salad was great and so was the cucumber lemonade. Cute small place with outside patio. They host music nights with no cover. I'd go back for the lemonade because I was not impressed with the amount of poke for the cost. I could hit up a sushi place instead!

After getting my inserts from the Good Feet Store and finally being able to walk without being in…read moreexcruciating pain, I decided to celebrate by having dinner at this location in Manayunk. First, let's talk parking. Parking in Manayunk is always a challenge, especially during the summer months. There are paid parking lots further down that I would highly recommend using because street parking can be difficult to find. We made a reservation ahead of time, and I definitely recommend doing that through OpenTable. When we arrived, it was a little warm inside, and I immediately noticed it. Thankfully, I always carry a fan with me, so it wasn't a big issue. Now let's get to the real reason for this review Ali!!!! When I tell you Ali was amazing, I mean AMAZING. Her personality, energy, attitude, and spirit made our entire dining experience. She was funny, knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and had excellent recommendations. Great service can turn a good meal into a great experience, and that's exactly what she did. We started with the cheesesteak rolls, which were served with a spicy ketchup. They were good and had great flavor. Next was the calamari, which was absolutely delicious. It came with fried jalapeños, and when you paired a piece of calamari with a jalapeño and dipped it in the sauce, it was perfection!!! We also ordered the mussels, and if you're a garlic lover, these are a must order. They were loaded with garlic and butter sauce served with crusty bread perfect for soaking up the broth. I did take away and they dumped my bread into the sauce so it was soggy. Suggesting, give fresh bread on takeaways wrapped separate. Best of all, almost every shell actually had a mussel in it which unfortunately isn't always the case at some restaurants. They were fresh, flavorful, and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we couldn't pass up the special: three tacos and a margarita for $18. You do have to choose one protein for all three tacos; you can't mix and match. I chose shrimp, and my son chose chicken. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. There wasn't a lot on them, but the flavor was incredible. You could taste the fresh corn tortilla, and the shrimp were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My son enjoyed the chicken tacos, although I personally thought the chicken was a little dry. One thing I absolutely loved was learning that the food is fresh and locally sourced. Ali explained that they don't use microwaves, and you can definitely taste the difference. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry pineapple margarita. There was a small mix-up with the strawberry, but Ali immediately fixed it and brought me strawberry syrup to make it right. Problem solved! The margaritas were delicious and STRONG, which is exactly what I like. Overall, my favorite items were the shrimp tacos, the mussels, and the margaritas. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was outstanding!!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we're already planning to come back for brunch and try the mimosa tower. If you visit, ask for Ali. You won't regret it!! She made an already great meal even better. We'll definitely be back!

Service was good for the most part and the food was ok. The main reason for the low rating is because as we were eating a mouse runs out from the kitchen and we brought it to the attention of the staff who took about 10 minutes to catch the mouse. Now no one from the staff apologized for the rodent issue so I'm assuming that this is a common occurrence. None of the staff seemed bothered by the situation to let their manager know and no one offered us a discount due to that scene that just transpired in front of us. So my sister and her family who live here in Philly as well as my wife and I will not be eating here again.
