We found Bob's Diner out of sheer luck when we were in Pittsburgh for a hockey tournament. We drove 6 hours from NY the night before and could not wait to eat breakfast. The hotel however did not inform us that breakfast was OVER at 9am ( on a Saturday? ). Putting in google we found Bob's and fell in love! Sylvia and her daughters and rest of the family are AMAZING people. You can immediately taste the love that goes I to the food....and speaking of food.....We had 13 people with us and no matter what the food item was that was ordered, everyone had the same thing to say..DELICIOUS! Hands down the best breakfast I've ever had outside of NY. From the hashbrowns to eggs to sausage to biscuits to avocado toast () to the bacon dippers...you CANNOT go wrong. Thanks to the entire staff from my belly! If you are in that area, make sure you make a trip to Bob's Diner! read more

My favorite breakfast place in Pittsburgh. Homey with great food, plus the portions are pretty big too. Definitely try the french toast!

Food is ok, but portion sizes keep getting smaller and smaller and prices keep going up and up. Every time I go in more of the prices on the menu are marked up with a black marker. I Understand the cost of doing business. This is a neighborhood diner that used to be a friendly "family" diner. The "new" (inherited it) owner is trying to make this a Fancy restaurant and it is not nor will it ever be! The staff had always been friendly and now it seems to be a "hurry up and finish eating and get out of here oh and by the way leave a tip" diner. No more "friendly" atmosphere. Servers who had been waiting on me for YEARS are now appearing to be disgusted with everything! Now according to a sign on the window they will no longer be doing their loyalty program and "so sad too bad" if you don't have the number of points to get a "reward" you loose what you have! REALLY! You would think that they would at least try to find a way to let the customer "cash in" their points maybe in a gift card, oh but that's probably tooooo much work for the owner to handle. 2 of their sites have closed because of supposedly COVID. If so then make the other 2 better places to have customers come to! read more

I haven't been in while but definitely enjoyed the meals I've had there. The omelette with toast and side of ham is really so much food. Enough to share with someone else for sure. It's a typical diner look and feel. Everything you would expect in a modern day greasy spoon. read more

Didn't have to wait long to get seated, but, then the wait began! We got our drinks and the server said she'd be right back for our orders. 20 minutes goes by and I finally ask another server if we could get waited on. Our waitress finally comes back - takes our order and we wait another 20 or more minutes for breakfast food! Yes... they were busy, but when tables around you are eating within 10 minutes of sitting down... well something wasn't right. We get our food and my husbands mixed grill wasn't even hot. The shredded cheese wouldn't even melt when stirred up! I asked for extra butter when our meals were delivered - 1/2 way through the meal, she asked if she gave me that butter?!?! We go to breakfast every weekend, but we will not be going back there! read more

Cute little hole in the wall with good home cooked meals & small town folk to warm your heart. read more

Bob's Diner - Yummy sausage & gravy! - Diners Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Amazing! This is a New York City or New Jersey diner near Pittsburgh! The service is a little quirky, but the food more than makes up for it. Huge pancakes, dinner plate size, thick bacon, great breakfast potatoes and eggs that were cooked perfectly. My wife had fried chicken that would put the Colonel out of business with real mashed potatoes. For her salad, the waitress suggested mixing sweet & sour with ranch and it was spectacular. Huge menu selections, typical back east diner fare done with perfection. read more

Very average. I love diners and eat breakfast out everyday. I have been to Bobs about a dozen times or so. The food is ok, nothing stands out. I'm not sure what other reviewers were raving about the home fries . I was not too impressed with them, big chunks of redskin potatoes, no garlic or onions ( none that I could find anyways). I tried the eggs Benedict on three different occasions and was disappointed in the hollandaise sauce. Coffee was ok. The hash was also nothing special, I expected homemade cornbeef hash , but it was generic food service canned hash with a few peppers thrown in. I really want to like this place, but nothing stands out. $7.95 for a basic breakfast is not a deal in pittsburgh. Many places have the 2 egg, meat, potatoes and toast for $3.99 weekdays. My overall opinion is that I will still come here, but will not go out of my way. read more

Fantastic food and service. Loved the atmosphere. Would recommend. Steak salad was real steak and a lot of it, breakfast was plenty and cooked perfect. Would highly recommend. read more

Bob's Diner - Steak salad - Diners Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Bob's is ways super. Friendly staff, very good diner food. several locations, all good and very consistent. Great value for your money.

While I love their food, I continue to struggle with how bad the service is at times. For instance, I just walked in and sat at the counter wanting to place a to go order. Unfortunately, after sitting there for 5 mins and watching 3 different waitresses either walk by me or make eye contact and turn their head, I got up and walked out because nobody appeared to want to wait on me. This isn't a one time occurrence where I feel compelled to write, it's the fact that every time I go I feel like the service is awkward or bad. Their corn beef hash is THAT good that I put myself through this! I'm going to try a different Bob's now. Hopefully the Painters Run Rd one will provide better service. read more

I was apartment searching in Carnegie on Good Friday since I had off work. I've been searching Craiglist but sometimes you're lucky enough to find a "for rent" sign on a great apt that isn't listed on craigslist. I didnt really have luck, but i worked up an appetite. I had passed a few places in Carnegie to eat, but the words 'diner' really stuck out to me. Also, I noticed from the decal on the door that they took cards which was a plus. They had specials for Lent and the crab cake sandwich stuck out to me. I also took a look at their menu which wasnt bad at all.. usual diner fare. The crabcake sandwich was satisfying and it came with a side of fries and cole slaw. The cole slaw was actually good. My mom is one of those people who wants hers to bathe in dressing. She wouldn't have liked Bob's but it had just the right amount in my opinion. Service was okay. They were busy and you felt as if the server was rushed but that was fine. I could agree with the other reviewers who mentioned the upholstered chairs that could use a good scrubbin (or just new ones) & that the food takes foreverrrrrr- hence the only 3 star review. However, an older gentleman stopped to ask how my meal was (the owner im assuming?) Afterwards he went back into the kitchen and i couldn't see/hear any other cooks, so im thinking he does it all on his own.. which would explain the wait times. I'll wait for an old sweetie to cook for food! If i become lucky and find an apartment in downtown Carnegie, then I'll be back for some dinre fare. read more

My husband and I love Bob's. It is a place we miss since moving to TX. I made a point to stop here for dinner when I was home for the holidays. I had the patty melt and onion rings. It was wonderful! This was my 1st experience with the dinner hour when we lived in Carnegie we had breakfast every Sat & Sun. The safe is always nice, fast, and the restaurant is always clean. I will make a point to stop in when I am home again in April. read more

Took a weekend trip to Pittsburgh and this place was close to where we stayed so it was a easy stop. The food and portions are great and I love the feel of the place. It was pretty busy but the food didn't take too long to arrive. I would definitely stop here again if I came back to visit. read more

I eat here regularly, as you can see by my number of check ins here. This doesn't include the times I just forget to check in lol. I love seeing regular faces here. The home fries are almost as good as Pamela's Diner (in the strip). The breakfast sandwich, however, is my fave!! I actually become sad when it's time to take my last bite. Gotta try this place for breakfast. It's a diner, not a 5 star restaurant. Keep that in mind when visiting. It's not going to have matching linens, plates, and chandeliers, like some people would want. Go to the Grand Concourse for Sunday brunch with Bloody Marys and mimosas. Good home style cooking with good people surrounding you. read more

Bob's Diner - Counter dining - Diners Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

See all

Great service, wonderful food. Coffee is great. Glad to see Impossible sausage on the menu. Yum!

It's places like Bob's that makes you forget about Denny's, IHOP, Eat N Park (although I do love ENP's whole grain pancakes) but, not Waffle House, that place will always have a place in my heart. Okay, let's get talking about Bob's, good coffee, that's what I judge a diner by, and Bob's has some good Joe. I had an egg white omelet with peppers, onions, and shrooms, whole wheat toast, and fresh fruit. The fruit was fresh sliced, mostly melon, nice and fresh. The toast was perfectly lite brown and the eggs were cooked through and benefitted from a few dashes of salt and pepper. The vegetables were cooked through. All and all a good meal. Next time I will ask if they make an oatmeal pancake or buck wheat and give them a try. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. My server, Debbie, was just the sweetest lady ever. I got biscuits and gravy. Came with fries, she said I can also get hash browns so I did that. Asked for a side of eggs and toast, and she recommended a style of toast (can't remember what it's called) that's really popular in Pittsburgh, so I went with that, and wow it was great! I can't say enough about her. The food was so good, service was outstanding. Definitely a place I'd recommend! read more

Now a diner is a diner right? Not Bob's Diner in Carnegie. The service by the ladies was friendly and very homelike. I felt like I was a regular. The food was very good and the choices on the menu were far more than eggs, toast and coffee. Strongly recommend Bob's BIG Burrito. I will return to Bob's when I am in the area again! read more

Outstanding service at breakfast by Jody. There was no wait but place getting busy for having just opened at 7am. The server had a great greeting. She was fast with drinks. She knew customers by name. read more

Bob's Diner - Diners Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Food is really good and wait staff are super friendly however just noticed how the ceiling was super moldy and not clean. I know this is an older building but that needs taken care of ASAP. read more

Solid Breakfast! I had an egg white omelette with mushrooms, ham and Swiss: the eggs were fluffy, and the cheese melted perfectly into the juicy ham and mushrooms. My Husband enjoyed the Dad's Double Breakfast, with scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage, wheat toast and two Banana Pecan pancakes. Again, the eggs were fluffy and the pancakes were cooked perfectly and loaded with bananas and pecans. Both meals came with Homefries, which were just ok: some of the potatoes weren't cooked all the way through and some tasted of old "grease." The service was prompt and very friendly; and the coffee was hot and fresh. We will definitely go back with our children, who I'm sure will love it! read more

Just your typical small town diner. The food was well done, I had the eggs Benedict my friends had the fruity waffle and egg/meat selection. Overall I would say for the type of restaurant and price the food was very good. The staff was nice, and you can't really beat the prices. I would definitely come back for a casual yummy breakfast. read more

Perfect way to start a long day of pinball at the PAPA World Pinball Championships down the road. Pretty much came here every day and it's a diner's diner. Sometimes they were a bit overwhelmed with how many pinball folks came in each morning but it's got a nice small town vibe and I enjoyed listening to the wait staff gossip :) read more

Well we went to Bob's tonight it was like an ice block in there sat about 15 min the only two waitress there totally ignored us so we got up and left. As we were in parking lot saw a girl with 2 kids told them we sat 15 min with no service she said screw that I meeting 3 other people meeting me we will go elsewhere. Don't know what happened to my first review but place is going down hill fast. More than likely not going back. read more

Bob's in Carnegie has horrible service. We eat here a lot, probably won't any more. Stopped by the other night for something quick. The girl seated us and brought our drinks. After waiting 15 minutes, no server came by our table, we left. Told the girl that seated us we never got waited on, her reply was "really". It's a shame this location has such bad service, the other,locations are way better. I am not basing my opinion on this one bad experience, have been going to this location since it opened. Have had many dinners accompanied by really bad service. Unfortunately, this one will be the last one for me. read more

Tasty classic diner food, friendly and quick staff. great prices! Also interesting view of two Onion Dome churches across the street- classic Pittsburgh! read more

Great joint for breakfast. Huge hangover killin' pancakes! And the best French toast I've had since '99.

Good diner atmosphere. I have only been to the one in carnegie for breakfast. They serve Mancini's bread! Cost is reasonable and you get a lot of food-I can never eat everything on my plate. Bob's original breakfast sandwich is good and their homefries are excellent. Service has been good and not-so-good. All depends on the waitress. read more

Pretty solid option if you are looking for diner food. Traditional breakfast offerings and endless coffee refills in the old school mugs. High quality bacon and toast. Home fries are have a little skin on them and are soft. Low prices and accessible from downtown or suburbs to the west. read more

Above average diner. Huge pancakes And while more expensive than a Denny's, it is local and not depressing like a Denny's. Will go back. read more

Oh, Bobs. You used to be one of my favorites. Today was the last straw. We got up and left after 10 minutes of being completely ignored. Sad- because the food is decent. But this has been a long time coming. Too many chances. read more

Very large menu with all your breakfast needs. We went with a large group and they were able to accommodate us. My husband's French toast was made exactly how he likes it. The cookies and cream pancakes were a unique choice and a little too large to finish in one sitting (no dollar from bob for us). As far as diners go, this was a great find and we'll be back. read more

Had breakfast here in a Sunday while visiting Pittsburgh area. A small very busy diner that also has some outdoor seating. Good food and friendly service. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed the food they ordered which ranged from dinner plate sized blueberry pancakes, to Bobs grill which was a big breakfast. Bacon thick and done perfectly. I would definitely return. Bobs has free parking in its own lot. read more

I visited Bob's on a recommendation from PA Beauty Supply where I was way too early for my class I was attending. It was Sunday at noontime and the place was hopping. The service was quick and friendly. The coffee was hot but nothing fantastic. I had the banana pecan pancakes which I warn you are massive and delicious. Very fresh. The prices are reasonable. It's worth checking out. The tables are a little close together for my liking, but I managed ok. All in all a nice experience. read more

Horrible service! Dirty place! There was 5 of us for breakfast and our food took so long to come out! Don't eat here!

Bob's Diner is everything you could hope for in a diner. Fast and courteous service, delicious and reasonably priced food. Whenever I'm in the area, this is where I go, and I highly recommend it for anyone else as well! read more

Bob's is on an upswing! We are regulars and eleven months ago I wrote a negative review...in here to say we have seen great improvements. The food seems to be better prepared--and better presented. The wait staff has changed a bit and it seems--at least from our vantage point--they are working together more as a "team" now. The waitresses in the evening are AWESOME and from what we've seen the few times we have been there for breakfasts--everyone is great. The home made soups are especially delicious--as is Bob's chili! It would be great to see a few daily or weekly menu features--as the usual menu items--although mostly delicious--are a bit tiresome. I bet Tacos would be great on Tuesdays--along with the usual Turkey! You could retire the Barbecue sandwich--we were disappointed because it seemed to be made with bologna rather than Isaly's Chipped ham! Not good! How about a meatloaf dinner? With mashed potatoes, gravy and coleslaw? Yum! Anyway--keep up the great work--Bob's is a great little diner we love!!! read more

Four of us went to Bob's about 5:30 last night. Walked in to an almost empty restaurant...bad sign. One person ordered a Belgian waffle (after being told that breakfast was served all day). The waitress returned to tell us that the waffle iron had been turned off at 2:00. Another person ordered a fish sandwich. Again the waitress returned to say that no one had bothered to bread the fish that day. So there was no fish.I ordered a "Rachel"...turkey, Russian dressing, cole slaw. The sandwich was so soggy that it could have floated away. I did not eat even half of it.The pickle on the side had seen better days. My husband ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. The tomato slice on the sandwich was face down. When it was turned over it was black and not edible. The meals are not inexpensive. Our bill for two sandwiches amounted to $20 plus a tip. It will be a long time before we return. Fortunately, Carnegie patrons have some new restaurants from which to choose. read more

First time in. Loved it. Food good not great. Waitress Brooke was very welcoming and kind!
