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. read more

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! read more

Bob & Edith's Diner - Springfield - Patty melt and Blueberry Hot Cake - American Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great service and good diner food. The ambience was low key, bright, simple but pleasant.

wait staff was very friendly. The food not so good. This was my second experience at this location and the first time I ordered a dinner entree it was OK but not very good. Tonight I ordered breakfast the omelet was good. the toast was covered in unmelted butter and the home fries were boiled and burnt. We did show management and we were dismissed. For the price go to IHOP... they cost about the same. I will not be going back!! . read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bob & Edith's Diner - Springfield - Two egg whites, bacon and grits breakfast...yummy! - American Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

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. read more

Took us 30 minutes to get water, food took 1/30 hr to come, waiter was rude, did not let us pay seperately

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. read more

Good service typical dinner fare. The food is served timely and is tasty. A good addition to this part of town. They do have limited seating so there might be a wait during peak hours. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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? read more

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. read more

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. read more

We were out and decided to have dinner, first let me say that we normally love Bob and Edith's and usually go to one of the others but the one is Springfield was convenient. Tonight was a bit of a disappointment. First the mashed potatoes which we've ordered numerous times had garlic in them and just weren't great. The food was warm but not really hot. The kicker was the specials board said that the country fried steak was the special for $15.09 normally $15.69. When our check arrived we were charged $15.69, when we asked our server about this we were told we had to ask for the daily special price when we ordered it. We showed it to him on the board he looked at the bill and said it's not that much difference. I told him fine we would take it out of his tip. I know $1.20 isn't a lot but why advertise a price if it's not going to be honored? Why should I have to say I want the country fried steak special. We will go back to the location we normally frequent. read more

I really nice classic diner! It's always buzzing with people. Great service and great food (A)

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. read more

Service was great as well read more

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. read more

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. read more

Owned by Bob Saget and Edith Piaf. One of the dishes is named after him (Sagetty Bolognese) and one of the sides is named after her (Piaflau Rice). I was never crazy about them. I used to go to the original B & E closer to DC, and it was never much more than a glorified Denny's to me, with higher prices, although the fact that they are locally owned means they'll always be better than the bottom feeders such as Denny's, IHOP and so on. read more

Poor customer service !!! After I found my table and sat down. I waited almost 10 minutes for a waiter to give me a menu. Racist Remarks- While I was still eating my food . The manager came over and place the check on the table. "Before you eat and dash out . Please don't forget to pay at the register ". His opinion of me - Eat & Dash black person ! Constantly stared at me from the kitchen to see if I was going to leave and not pay . Once again I waited another 5 minutes at the register. The Hispanic waitress wanted me to knowledge her first. She constantly wouldn't look at me . After a few minutes she ask me " Are u ready to pay ". Hillbilly white manager comes from the back to help her with the register. The food was down home cooking. However I will never eat at this location again. I only left a $1.00 tip ! read more

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!!! read more

This is the perfect, I just want some breakfast, kinda hole in the wall, diner. No frills and nothing fancy here. Just a good old fashioned diner. The prices are great and the food gets the job done. When you walk in just grab a seat before you get passed in line. We made that mistake the first time and watched as others walked by us and grabbed what should have been our seats. Absolute rookie mistake. You're welcome for the tip! I usually go with the ham and cheese omelette with hash browns, sausage, and wheat toast. The omelette has a LOT of cheese so be warned. I love the little jelly packets at the table for my toast. Perfect pairing with the eggs. They do have a pretty sizable menu so take your time and drink it all in. One of these days I'll stray from my usual BUT NOT TODAY! read more

I ate here with two of my co workers and the food and service was terrible. I'd stay far away from this place.

Located in a convenient place in Springfield/Franconia area with plenty of parking (unlike the original diner in Arlington). This area needed a 24 hr diner. The food here is typical of hearty diner fare which is usually fine, and it serves the same type of food as the other locations. The cost for what you are getting is very reasonable....although I did notice that they raised the cost of the waffle meals (my go-to meal when I order) by at least 30 cents. Fortunately, that change doesn't break my bank! Just wishing that the service here at this location was much more consistent. On one occasion, I had to wait for service to arrive at my table after five parties were served, and only one other party arrived ahead of me in line. Fair warning: if you don't wave to serving staff during a rush, you are going to get lost in that rush without ordering. Two wait staff persons serving during a rush period isn't efficient. Their people tried their best, but the lack of people hurts the quality of the dining experience. So much so, that the other diner guests were strongly annoyed waiting for their food and/or checks. read more

If you're in the area and looking for a good diner this is a great spot. Its usually not pack and theres lots of seating. Staff is friendly and responsive. This spot has breakfast through dinner, but I come here for the breakfast. The two eggs and sausage is a good deal, you get 3 pieces of sausage, eggs, and choice of home fries, grits, hashbrowns. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars but I got two different orders of home fries and they were hard. Got for hashbrowns instead. Overall good spot read more

Pretty much a pretty decent, good breakfast joint. Highlights are that the bacon was crispy, hash browns were good, and eggs good. Chocolate chip pancakes good as well. service was so-so, didn't get a refill on my coffee, Unless I asked for one. Overall solid place and if portions were bigger and Prices a bit cheaper, I would have gave it a higher review. read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast before running errands and was very happy with the food, price, and surprised by the great customer service! I ordered the special, county fried steak with three eggs and home fries and my wife ordered the western omelette. Our food came out fairly quickly and aside from my order missing an egg (which the server quickly brought the additional egg) we were satisfied. The eggs weren't quite over medium, more on the over easy side; but it's not a deal breaker for me. Our kid was entertained by all the people, servers and noise so she ate quite a bit as well. read more
