Good food fair prices, old style dinner in a laid back small town in a great country setting...

Traveling thru the Southern Tier of NY State, and found this diner on Yelp. Looks exactly like a diner should. I ordered a bowl of Butternut Squash soup, and hubby ordered a bowl of chili. We decided to split a BLT on wheat. Service was friendly and quick. Soup & chili were delicious! BLT was stuffed with delicious fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and crispy bacon. Very good much appreciated. read more

Bobs diner is a must stop if you're in the Bainbridge area and in need of some good quick food! I sat at the counter and was immediately taken care of with excellent service! I had a ham and egg sandwich that was amazing with a huge side of home fries. Everything coming out of the window looked fresh and delicious, and the classic diner interior is original and intact. It's a beautiful piece of history that should be experienced! Stop At Bobs! read more

Bob's Diner - Ham egg and cheese sandwich- so much ham! - A breakfast meal on a white plate with a blue rim, consisting of a sandwich with a toasted bun, a fried egg, and ham. The plate also contains diced, cooked potatoes with some browned edges.

My wife and I LOVE Bob's diner. Just had their chicken noodle soup today and it was delicious. Everything we have ordered has been delicious. They also have the highest grade quality meat for their sandwiches. Never tasted any better. John Payne, the owner, does not skimp on quality or quantity. In addition, his staff is always friendly and professional - Amber, Tracy, Megan, Terry, Nikki . . . Dining at Bobs you will not be disappointed! Ray Lewis and Loddie Marsh read more

Clean, friendly and large menus. Ales charge but increases the price by 4%. If you ask they offer a 10% St discount. Portions are huge for the burgers. Could easily split one order. read more

Overpriced!!! I ordered a BLT with extra bacon and it had a little extra. $ 12.95 1 order of onion rings 4.00 and a soda $ 3.50. $ 22.50 with tax and credit card fee and I left a $ 6.00 tip cause the service was the only good thing about it. So my total for a BLT with a little bit extra bacon, onion rings and a soda cost me $ 28.50 for lunch. I could have had a dinner in a nice restaurant for that price!!! I go to other places in the area and it more than 1/2 the price compared to Bob's diner. I will not go back!!!! read more

Cute little diner with good food and good atmosphere. Employees are nice. Mdndkdkndkd

We really enjoyed this small homestyle diner when we stopped there for lunch. Soup and chili cooking on counter in crockpots, homemade pudding and pies in the dessert case although Cheesecake and carrot cake not baked on the premisis. We ordered the all beef chubby hot dog and mushroom swiss burger. Potato chips and fries made on the premise. My black Angus burger cooked to order. My burger was on a soft cheese topped Kaiser roll. The steak house dog, large thick hot dog adorned with onions and mushrooms, steak sauce and sliced tomatoes. Food plated nicely, good portions and all very tasty. The menu extensive, breakfast all day with lunch and dinner selections. Prices reasonable. There is something for everyone here. Staff were attentive and friendly. We hope to stop here again. read more

Nice little old fashioned diner. No frills but good service, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The meal portions were very liberal and the mushroom burger was fresh, cooked as requested and tastey. BLT plate was excellent as well. read more

Your very typical diner that can be plopped down in any small town in the US. Friendly, yet no-nonsense ladies running the place and very simple and yet honest menu. While there are a lot of burgers and hot dog options there are other food choices from breakfast omelets to liver and onions. I ordered the chicken tenders with coleslaw and it was exactly average and to be expected. read more

My husband and I stopped at Bob's Diner on our way to upstate New York. The Diner is located right off the main highway and nestled on the main street of an adorable small town. Inside the Diner is a total throwback and really cool experience. Bob's has booth seating, bar seating and a few larger tables. The menu has a variety of breakfast and lunch/dinner options- all affordable. I ordered the French Toast with a side of bacon, both were delicious. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back! read more

Prices are fair, food was good, service friendly! Absolutely loved the ham & the large English muffins. The ham had a uniquely thin cut that I haven't had anywhere else. It was super busy when we went, but we didn't have to wait to get a seat and it's really to be expected on a Saturday morning too. read more

I've been visiting Bob's for 50 years. Today I had a bowl of chili, (it was good) but was SHOCKED when the bill showed a $3.49 charge for a 12 oz. fountain coke!! That is ridiculous PRICE GOUGING. Come on, this is Bainbridge not BROOKLYN, knock it off. Go up the street 300 yards to the $$ store and buy generic Coke for $1.99 a LITER. APOLOGIZE// read more

At this fun 50-ish diner, we enjoyed a tasty meal and the fun local people who helped us feel right at home! We stopped later in the day for a quick, light bite. I had a delicious bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder and side of real mashed potatoes, and my husband had a tasty ham and cheese sandwich. The wheat bread on his sandwich was delicious and the ham and Swiss better than he could have imagined. A trip back for breakfast is definitely the plan! read more

We simply adore classic diners and Bob's drew us in ... we literally cleaned the plates ... so delicious lunch blue plate special. Following day we needed to travel same route and it was an easy decision for breakfast!!! Bobs has excellent food, friendly staff and you feel like a regular from the first moment. Highly recommend read more

While traveling to Animal Adventure Park we decide to stop and get some Breakfast/Lunch and came upon Bobs Diner through a sign while on Interstate 88. It's located in a quaint little town and was easy to find. Since it was a Sunday, they had a breakfast buffet. The buffet was fantastic with various danishes, fruits, eggs, bacon, sausage and more( too many selections to list), One of the best buffets I've been to. The food was fresh, cooked to perfection, and tasty. The venue gave me the feel of a 50s diner and the waitstaff were friendly and kept our glasses and cups full. The price was extremely reasonable and it's a place I'd definitely stop at again! read more

it was okay, the first time i went it was pretty good service slow and the second time we got seated with other people and waited almost 2 hours for food, it tasted okay i've had better and i've had worse definitely not worth a 2 hour wait though. read more

Great diner with a nice staff and even nicer pie! Which is saying a lot cause the staff was perfect!

Excellent food and service with a great atmosphere friendly service. Bobs has a nostalgic fun feel.

The food is good the service is great and the price is right. Convenient and ample rear parking leaves for a short stroll to the entrance.

So me and my wife stayed at in West Bainbridge with Family. We decided to visit town and try out some food. The first place we came by was Bob's Diner. From the outside it looks like a typical Diner. Im from NYC so we have a lot of them and many of them are... nothing special. Some have good food others ok. So going in I thought hey lets try it. We went for Lunch... Wife had eggs and hash browns. I had their burger menu (about 4 - 5 choices) and chose The Cowboy Burger. It mixed Chili & onions on a Cheese Burger 1 Bite and I WAS AMAZED. The flavors were amazing. The burger was cooked PERFECTLY. Was juicy and delicious. I had a lot of burgers in my life... in some great restaurants in NYC and got burgers that were ... ok to good. This surpass all of them. This might be the best burger I ever tasted... well until the next day... I got The Pizza Burger... WOW. SIMPLY WOW. You have to try it to believe it. I didn't want to finish it ... iT WAS THAT GOOD. They also had Freshly cut and homemade Potato Chips. Really good. Next time your in the REGION... stop by Bob's Diner its worth a long trip. Food is delicious. Also The Service was Great. The waitress I had was very attentive and cheerful. I wish I could give a higher score. Im planning to stop by as soon as we can. :) read more

Bob's Diner - Cowboy Burger - Jean M Review - Diners Near Me - Bainbridge, New York

Surprise find in Bainbridge, the home of Elmer's Glue (isn't *that* appetizing) that manages the unthinkable: pretty original diner food. The diner itself isn't quite Full On Diner - not open 24 hours, decor is a bit forced of fake antique signs instead of the real deal - but it's got the look and feel and layout of a classic diner-car plus format, so we won't quibble here. The service was diner classic, friendly Hiya Hon with ample coffee and soda refills and just the right amount of local chattiness. We were also pleasantly surprised that even though we were just behind a rather weird group of about a dozen college kids who'd dropped in for a large to-go order, they got our orders out on time. So the food: go to the burger menu. They have some really original creations - man the Cowboy Burger was great! Unusual buns, great ingredients, the meat done just right. Original home-made chips. (They serve the burgers with both chips *and* fries, go figure.) The home-made soups were basic but incredibly delicious (we tried two, they're made up specially daily). One of the kids ordered a full breakfast (he's growing) and everything was perfect - even the eggs, which always seem to be a problem at diners. The kids' portions in particular were enormous, other portions ample but not in the grotesque category. The only particular downside is it was just a touch on the pricey side relative to the usual diner fare, although truth to tell you really ought to compare it to one of the specialty burger chains that's trying to capture the high end, because they're doing the same thing much better and marginally cheaper. Definitely on our list to go back to. read more

Chance stop. Great t a mushroom Swiss burger. Wanted medium got well. Mushrooms were under cooked for me. Came out of a can so they were flavorless and rubbery. Green salad was crisp but only had tomato and lettuce. Raspberry vinegar dressing was good though. Onion rings were obviously frozen and they tasted old as in too long in the freezer or refrigerator. Wouldn't order these foods again. Carrot cake saves the day. It was great. Service was great also. Lastly could fee was weak. . Since I travel I won't be back but I would try it again with something else. read more

What happened to Bob's Diner!!?? While we were there the waitress seemed high on something, it was if she forgot she was waiting on us and was off in her own little world. Prices are so exspensive now it's no longer a family friendly Diner. The service is terrible the prices outrageous such a shame to have fallen so far. We won't be going back any time soon. A Diner should be a warm inviting place for good food and good people Bob's has lost that for sure. Just such a shame for sure. read more

Horrible food and slow service. My mom had to send her food back because it wasn't edible

Was traveling by and yelped a breakfast place and Bob's was the closest. What a cool place to find. I had Bob's Everything Omelette. Came with toast and I ordered a side of home fries. I was not disappointed and the service was great. I recommend you stop if you are in town or if you live nearby and haven't tried it yet. read more

OMG!! This place is BOMB! BEST corned beef hash EVER and I had a sausage egg and cheese that was to die for. Will come back!

Last year we had an amazing breakfast. So this year it was our go to spot. We stopped in Wendy's on the way home. I have not had fast food in 20 years. It was great. Ok, half way thru it was not so great. It was great in comparison to the Burger we had the night before at Bob's. I'm 6-2 and 220lbs. I'm in real good shape for an old man and have an appetite of a 20 year old. I'm a rescue swimmer, drink like a fish and eat like a pig. I would never leave my plate with food oj it and in fact always finish my wife's meal. I love burgers. I hated theirs. Never in my 65 years have I not finished a burger. I am kicking myself still, for not complaining and telling them I will not pay for this crap. We paid and even left a decent tip. But I am left with the felling I should have told the waitress that she never should have served us that junk and thus we did not tip you. Take it up with the chef. But we did tipped her. The tomatoes in the salad were rotten. The lettuce brown. The chips, albeit perhaps homemade, were rancid, but ok, I admit the fries were good. The burger inedible. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WAS POSSIBLE OR THAT I WOUlD THINK OR SAY THAT. read more

Bob's Diner - Having ice cream with my family. The ice cream and service are amazing!! - Diners Near Me - Bainbridge, New York

My wife and I hit this place while we were out traveling. It is a cool 60's retro style diner that has its own unique flair to it. Bob's Diner's slogan is "An American Experience" and I would agree. When we got out of the van you could hear the pleasant and groovy music softly playing from the speaker attached to the outside of the building. The music was much more apparent from the outside than the inside but very cool all the same. The menu here has got a lot of different things going on. Breakfast and lunch with all the basics but then they have this designer hot dog and burger menu that looked very interesting and featured "Chubby Dogs". They hit these chubby dogs with some different meats and wild condiments. As an example, they do a South Of The Border Dog with salsa, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and sour cream that they wrap in a tortilla.. They do a "Deli Dog" topped with hard boiled egg, relish, and mild banana peppers. There is a whole separate menu that is dedicated to these designer hot dogs and hamburgers that they serve. Our taste buds were not feeling like dogs or burgers that day so we went with the two specials of the day. The lady of the house went for the open face reuben sandwich which was very good. I hit them up for the chicken parm with pasta special. It was huge and delicious! It was so big that I took half of it home and had it for dinner. We enjoyed the experience so much that I could not get out of there without taking home two of the Bob's Diner coffee mugs. I give Bob's "American Experience Diner" 4 awesome Yelp stars and I would return if I ever make my way back to Bainbridge, NY again. read more
