    French toast
    Tiana B.

    The food was great. Service was great. Had an authentic dinner feel which I loved. Sweet tea tasted like lipton powder mix which I did not love. This will be my go to diner when I'm in the Alexandria area. It was sooo busy and now I know why!

    Country Fried Steak Dinner Classic Patty Melt
    Meagan H.

    Who doesn't love a 24 hour diner? Apparently us.. We got in pretty late to Alexandria and this place was recommended to us. Honestly? If we had known the options, we would have grabbed premade sandwiches from 7 eleven. Ok so the place had one server and one cook. Neither probably wanted to be there but I can't really blame them.. it isn't their fault the quality of the food is so bad. My sympathy for them is why I even gave two stars. The tea tasted like there was fruit punch in it, so we switched to a root beer. I ordered the country fried steak and my husband ordered the patty melt. The country fried steak was the saddest excuse for country fried steak I have ever seen. I was offered brown gravy and sausage gravy? So I just got brown. Either already made or a powder mix reheated with water. The mashed potatoes were texturally weird. I know they were instant but maybe not stirred enough with hot water? Even the veggies were weird, tasted old. The broccoli was yellow. The patty melt...The rye bread was good and toasted perfectly. The beef patty was probably the most bottom rung beef I have had since my adolescence. The green beans tasted reheated out of a can that has probably been there since Bob & Edith originally opened the restaurant.. It left a lot to be desired. I'd have to be completely hammered and unable to walk, desperate for some kind of food substance to even consider eating from here again.

    First time dining at Bob & Eddies Diner in Old Town Alexandria, VA. The restaurant is walking distance to King Street Metro Station and is open 24 hours. We enjoyed our breakfast: French toast, eggs, country fried steak with sausage & gravy etc. We give it 4/5 stars! The service was great and food didn't take very long. Give them a try when in the area. Happy Yelping :)

    Classic diner
    Fred B.

    The place was swamped at 9:45 Sunday morning with a line out the door. Super attentive service. Classic diner atmosphere. Other wait staff checking on you and pumping out diner food as fast as they could. Sat at the counter and watched the line cooking food. Live food tv. Had the country fried steak and eggs with hash brown with white gravy. Excellent Sunday morning belly buster. Eat here!

    Eggs, rye toast, and potatoes

    Pleasant diner serving tasty comfort food. My breakfast (eggs and potatoes) was very good. Friendly ambiance. Nice place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

    Chocolate Cream Pie
    Jennifer S.

    I went in this morning based off of a review that stated they had the best cheese steak in the area. Hmmmmm well it was okay for a diner for sure . Not the best but still a solid sandwich. I didn't really care for the fries or the chocolate cream pie which just tasted artificial , which is sad because it looked amazing. The service is fast and friendly the restaurant was clean and smelled lovely which is amazing for a 24 hour establishment. My sister ordered actual breakfast which looked and smelled amazing.

    This is what I received after asking for extra butter on my toast.

    First time at this location although I have been to two of the other locations. Good food and quick service. Comfortable environment. One thing here that has been consistent at other locations: even if I ask for extra, for some reason they never put enough butter on my toast.

    Breakfast Sampler
    Chris S.

    Bob & Edith's in old town is a staple. I tried something new even though I've been here many times. I tried the Breakfast sampler- which has 3 meats, eggs your way, pancakes and hash browns. I went with ham, bacon and scrapple for the meats. The scrapple tasted a bit dry (like it was frozen), but the bacon was super fresh and ham was good. The service was very fast (even though it was July 4) and the waiter checked on the table a few times and made sure we had refills. Pro tip: ALWAYS ORDER THE PANCAKES!

    Brittni M.

    Came to try out the 24/7 diner and it was excellent. I got the country fried steak and my husband got the sausage gravy and biscuits.

    You almost can't find a place like this in a location like this. Very original, very bright, very clean and nearly nostalgic. We came for the chicken fried steak - everyone who serves this serves their own version, and so does Bob and Edith's. Theirs is a good variation on the standards, with a much thicker gravy and slightly heavier breading on the steak. However, a good combo, with attentive service to boot. Worth the stop, places like this are rare and something to look for.

    All day!!

    Bob and Edith's is a nice neighborhood diner in Alexandria. The service was quick and the food was pretty good. The hash browns were made just how I like them, crunchy on top. The western omelette was tasty and made well. My wife liked her breakfast as well.

    Katherine D.

    There was no wait time to be seated and we were assisted right away. I ordered a simple scramble eggs bacon and home fries to eat for breakfast. The eggs and bacon were cooked nicely. The home fries were a little burn and undercooked as the potatoes were still hard towards the middle. The staff was friendly and there were families making the place feel homey. I ordered a tuna melt to go which was placed on white bread which i found weird but the tuna melt was good.

I was intrigued by the pastrami sandwich options on the menu and really appreciated that gluten free bread was an option, so I had to try it! I was not disappointed at all. The sandwich was hefty - packed with meat, and flavorful. I'm not sure I liked the pile of salad that comes on the side - it's a lot to finish for one person and seems a bit wasteful. The service was good, but the sandwiches did take a bit longer than expected to come out. That might not be the case for other dishes though. I would certainly visit again!

Instead, on our first time, we came midday on a weekday and there weren't that many people and we were seated immediately. Overall, service was fine, though a bit in disarray because we had two different servers ask if we were ready to order. We both ordered the very good Chicken Salad sandwich. It's huge and really makes for two meals. It comes with very decent fries and an excellent side salad that has been drizzled with two different tasty dressings. We saw lentil soup on the menu, and if it's like the lentil soup at the Carnegie Diners in NYC, I highly recommend it. We absolutely will be back.

I must say I really like the vibe of this place. Beeline Diner is one of diners that are retro-cool and has a neighborhood feel to it. It's very popular with the locals and folks that live around the area. I couldn't help but noticed how friendly the staff was and seemed to know their regular patrons. That's a great plus, in my book. The menu is loaded with lots of great options and your comfort food classics...including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. On this day, we tried the chicken & waffles and steak omelette. Both more delicious and was served fairly quick! The portions were great too definitely enough food to share. The check was tender, juicy and most of all.....seasoned!! lol The waffles were pretty standard on taste but I would say they fluffy and light. The steak omelette did not disappoint either. It was loaded with sirloin steak, cheese and onions! Every lift of my fork left me with bits of steak bites! My kind of meal for sure!!! The only negative about this dish is that the steak is not made to order or cooked to your preference (I.e. medium, medium rare, well done, etc.). Instead the steak it's already pre-cooked and I was told by the server that it is roughly around, medium-well. That might be okay for some, but I prefer my steak month medium side. Medium-well makes this dish and steak overcooked by the time it's delivered to you. This was the case for me. The sirloin steak was a bit on the tough side...as know as chewy. lol Other than this, I have nothing but great things to say about my first visit to this establishment. The customer service was on point and everyone was so friendly. This!...& the Chicken n' Waffles dish won me over. We left pretty full and satisfied....which was a little disappointing because the desserts in the display cases looked amazing and I really wanted to dive-in on one of them! In all, you can't go wrong with Beeline Diner. The food hits the spot and the price point is great too. I recommend and looking forward to coming back to try some of the other plethora of dishes they serve! :-)
