While we've been to the Carnegie and Painters Run location several times, this was mine and my wife's first visit to Kennedy Township's. We like the atmosphere a lot better than Painters Run, because it's built and laid out like a true diner, with counter seating and booths right across from the open kitchen. We got there late Sunday morning and while they were busy, the waitress didn't make us wait long for anything (drinks, taking our order, bringing our food, etc.). I ordered a ham and cheese omelet which was typical Bob's quality (just the right amount cheese and fillings, mixed within the eggs, and not greasy at all). My wife's poached eggs were done just how she liked them, and bothered our orders of fruit were freshly cut. If we had to rank Bob's, it would be Carnegie, Kennedy, Painters Run. read more

Bob's Diner - Bob's bountiful breakfast - Diners Near Me - McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania

We came here for breakfast and it was very good! They have Mancini's bread which makes everything better. Service was great. Looks like they get a lot of regulars which is a good sign. They cook in front of the counter on the flat grill. The foodie in me is giving them 4 stars. The prior restaurant manager in me would give them less based on cleanliness. The floors in the kitchen area looked like they hadn't seen a mop in a while. read more

Where do I start. Very overpriced for quality of food when barely anyone was there. I got 4 eggs over easy but they were all undercooked egg whites was still clear and jiggly. My cornbeef has was burnt plus they add peppers and onions with me saying I want any in it. Home fries and bacon was all I could eat. I'm from Boston I get same thing for breakfast and it never cost more than like 12 bucks.they charged me 20 for 4 eggs cornbeef hash home fries and and no customers service. Here the worst part I saw and heard 2 ppl get ring up for their orders and they pay less and got more food. And then server gave a woman food and told her not to pay. Lol Bob diner that was first and last time ever going there. read more

My friend and I met for lunch today at the new Bob's location. It was a great experience. The diner is very cute, clean and the food was delicious. The service was also great. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Note #1: Breakfast is served all day. Note #2: Bob's is located in a strip mall in an area that is also referred to as McKees Rocks with a different zip code of 15136 according to my receipt and the takeaway menu I pocketed. As you drive by the strip mall, look for the words "DINER" to jump out at you. Note #3: Aside from Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, they are open every single day for breakfast and lunch. Note #4: A chain is obviously in the works as Bob's boasts diners in Imperial, Carnegie (coming soon!), and according to the fine print at the bottom of the menu, Bob is looking for licensees for more locations. Start up your own! You could operate your own Bob's! Owner Bob Marshall, the friendly middle-aged, Alan Kalter-lookalike who will greet you as you enter his establishment, is apparently looking to challenge Pamela's and The Dor-Stop if his menu is evidential of anything. Sandwiches, salads, burgers, and breakfast are what's on deck for those who come here, but if Bob's wants to be a contender, he's gonna need to work on some things. Take for example his Eggs Benedict, called "Bob's Eggs Benny" on the menu. The ham was fine, the eggs were poached superbly as Jacques Pepin would, the English Muffin was light, fluffy, fresh and was probably the best I've had in some time, but hollandaise sauce is what draws patrons to Eggs Benedict, and here lies my only gripe. I rarely ever order Eggs Benedict at restaurants, my mother having spoiled me with her transcendent hollandaise sauce, which according to her is a cinch to make; butter, prepared mayonnaise, a splash of lemon juice, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and half-and-half, being the ingredients (you figure out the proportions and technique, detectives). Well, upon tasting Bob's hollandaise, I got that "pre-fab" feeling, the Post-Gazette's Munch confirming my suspicions by saying in his own review from late November of 2009 that "It's a great menu if only because one can order the Eggs Benedict. Yes, you read that correctly, Eggs Benedict in a diner at a strip mall. Bob admitted to have not made the Hollandaise sauce from scratch, but still, how cool?" http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09330/1016343-440.stm Hurm. Either paprika or cheyenne topped it off, just like Mom does, depending on which she has or what mood she's in. Not that it wasn't a pretty good Eggs Benedict. I liked everything about it but the sauce, which really just needed more flavor. The home fries that came with the Eggs Benedict were flying aces. The potatoes were generously cut, cooked ideally, and were not overly greasy. Kay and I each ordered a side of corned beef since I wanted to try Bob's. Kay thinks it came from a can and just had onions and peppers added to it. I'm not exactly sure myself and never got around to asking, but I can't say that it was terrible. Bob's has an array of specialty pancakes and French Toasts. I almost ordered one Cookies 'N Cream pancake, but second-guessed myself and went with the Crispy Stuffed Strawberry French Toast. Was it bad? Not really, but I was left wishing I went with my original choice. The bread was tough, the secret strawberry cream-cheese (?) filling was a little too tart and the Rice Krispy-laced batter seemed scant. Adding syrup helped, but in the case of specialty French Toasts and pancakes, I don't feel I should need to drizzle syrup on them. Do you put syrup on a piece of pie or cake? Kay appeared to have ordered better than me. Her pancake was a heavy, doughy, obscenely flavorful, plate-blanketing medallion that was vastly different but just as choice as any of Pamela's or Dor-Stop's flapjacks. She let me try one of her sausage links, and I found that Bob's serves the best breakfast sausage as well as the best English Muffins that I've ever eaten. Each link looked as appetizing as a $3 stogie, that rough, burnt skin almost putting me off, but the hide turned out to be nicely flaky, concealing meat that was too gloriously fatty, moist, and succulent to comprehend. Kay's slab bacon was weighty, lean, and a bit chewy like beef jerky. The McKenzie Brothers might approve of it even if it isn't back bacon. Our breakfast at Bob's had some minor missteps, enough to keep it from being a full-on 5 stars but not enough to knock it down to 3, which is what I might have given it had I not helped Kay finish her meal. Hopefully Bob's Diner can correct these bugs. Oh, Bob? My mom makes good French Toast too. She can help. Drop me a line. I'll put you in touch with her so you can get her recipes and work something out. P.S. A band made up of retirees performed just outside the restaurant. Whether or not this happens regularly I couldn't tell you, but I got a kick out of it. They were swingin', daddy-o! read more

If i could leave half of a star I would. This isn't the first time we have been to bob's. We usually go every now and again, but this time was not enjoyable at all. Our server Raquel was not very friendly and checked on us a total of 1 time. The food did take a while to come out but the restaurant was busy so it is understandable. As a worker in the service industry I was very disappointed that when walking past our table seeing our drinks were empty she just avoided eye contact at all costs. When the food did come out she didn't even check to see if everything was correct and lied about our food taking so long. We would have been happy with a simple "sorry our kitchen is backed up." but instead she said" we have a lot of large parties right now, when the only larger party was a group of 6 people sitting in front of us. We were never asked how the food was and to speed up her service I decided to cash out at the front of restaurant because I was not confident she would come back to check on us. Overall the food was good but the service of Raquel was terrible. If you decide to go to Bob's i'd recommend a different server because every other table seemed to get checked on constantly. read more

Always amazing service. Great servers. I go here frequently. I went there on Sunday for breakfast and they were down a few servers but still kicked butt for how busy they were!! read more

Went there the other Sunday it was about noon and it was a little busy, but the service was very good. I went to order breakfast... Then I seen the special menu. Bam there it was meat lovers omelet. Of course I had to try being my first time there.. Loved it.. The wife had been there before and she had took me this time.. She had told me how good it was and I wasn't believing her.. Now I'm telling you it's worth it.. Keep a good thing going. We'll be going back. read more

Was here for a Family Gathering in the begging of March !!! The food was good for a diner but space is limited !!! Not a good place for large gatherings !!! read more

Visiting Pittsburgh from Vegas. I came down to bobs for lunch and ordered to go. I get home and eat half the burger then finally realize what I'm eating. I called the store and asked if this is normally how they cook their burgers, they said if the order is not specified all burgers are cooked well done. This is far from that!!!! read more

Not crazy about this diner. I have to remind myself to ask everywhere I go if the French toast is made with cinnamon, apparently its not a standard ingredient. I forgot to ask this time and whataya know, NO CINNAMON! It had a pretty bland taste. The pancakes are huge, definitely shareable and the turkey sausage was pretty good. I probably won't be returning...just not my cup of tea. read more

Typical diner, which is always a compliment. Good coffee, friendly service, and you watch them make your food right in front of you. Had eggs, Italian toast, sausage and biscuits, and potatoes--all were very good. read more

Bob's Diner - Diners Near Me - McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania

I was in town visiting family and my cousin took my boyfriend and I here for breakfast. The food was very good and the service was amazing. We sat at the counter and watched the cook make all the amazing food. We liked it so much we went back 2 days later and they remembered us. We will make a point of eating here every time we are in town. read more

I have been to Bob's Diner twice now and both experiences were wonderful. The people that come in the door are always greeted with a friendly "hello" to make it feel like you just walked through your own front door. The breakfast food was delicious and hot. I would recommend it too anyone passing by or locals in the area. It's pick your own seating and it's a great way to start your morning. read more

We have been long patron's of Bob's. However, today changed that. After waiting for 1 1/2 hours for our food we sat at the counter and witnessed so many issues. First off, I commend the workers that kept their cool during the stressful morning service. However, waitresses raising their voice, arguing with each other, blaming each other, yelling at the kitchen staff who was clearly working very hard... in front of the customers and just not caring about their customers or being respectful is unacceptable. Prioritizing continuous take out orders, while customers are sitting at tables for hours waiting for their food is crazy. Bob's needs to manage the kitchen and the wait staff. Rude associates should not be tolerated, however, no one was managing the situation and it was chaos to say the least. Customers were angry and walking out left and right. I asked for a take out box at the end and another waitress walked right by me, ignored me, then, when she came back around she said 'I heard you... with total attitude'; didn't make eye contact and eventually tossed a take out box my way. It was so rude that my husband got up and immediately left the restaurant as to not cause a scene. As a result, we will never return, which is such a shame as we have been going there for years. If you don't change something quickly, your restaurant will cease to exist in the current economic environment. No one wants late, cold food with rude service and an uncomfortable angry atmosphere. read more

This is our favorite local spot for breakfast or brunch. Go there two or three times a month usually, but today was our first trip back there after the "virus quarantine" period we lived through. Had one of my favorites - 2 eggs over medium, English muffin with cream cheese and bacon. Everything was delicious - it almost seemed better than usual, but that might just be because I've been away from it for so long. Coffee was fabulous - drank excessively at 3 cups (one over my usual 2 cup limit). The staff is friendly and helpful - very good at keeping the coffee cup filled. Can't wait to go back again in a week or two. They recently opened for dinner - haven't tried that yet, but the menu options look enticing. We love this place - comfortable atmosphere, good food, convenient location - what more could you ask for. read more

1st time at Bob's... it was very good... hot meat loaf mashed ...plenty of meat.... has cup of chili..was good not very warm... will be back read more

We've been going to this Bobs diner location for over a year for at least once a week every week. It's seems as if every week the service somehow gets worse and worse even though that seems unlikely. Getting drink refills feels like a battle and such an inconvenience to their servers. Our last visit to this location took roughly 10 minutes to get them to even bring over said beverages. Roughly about 5 minutes after that we were finally able to get our menus from a different server. It gets even more frustrating when you see your server sitting down and talking to tables, leaving and neglecting all of their other tables. It was kind of funny at first, but then it really gets disturbing with the lack of giving a damn. Luckily the food is great in this place or else they'd have nothing. read more

Bob's is a great little diner, with four locations in the Pittsburgh area. We ate at the McKee's Rocks location on our last visit to Pittsburgh. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by a view of all the breakfast goodies being cooked on the flat top. One thing to remember here: the portions are very big. My wife and I split a breakfast burrito made with fresh salsa, eggs, very spicy sausage, peppers, cheese etc. My only complaint would be the potatoes. They were definitely not needed. Our server was Dawn, who I also think was the manager. She was very friendly and attentive. read more

Holy Cow was I stuffed after a recent breakfast at Bob's Diner at the McKees Rock location. I had the Dad's double that was more then this dad could handle. Wife had the Burrito, and consumed half of it before faltering. The granddaughters French Toast was twice what she was able to put down, and my daughters Dad's single was to much for her. And, all four meals were terrific! I'd like to have the pancake recipe, they were very fluffy and tasteful. The food was worth going back for. The waitress, Dawn, and all others that assisted were fantastic. Very friendly and extremely hard workers. Value? Four (4) full breakfast's for about $35.00. You can't beat that price. The restaurant is small, and hidden in a strip mall with a sign that read's DINNER. Kind of quaint but very clean. Plenty of parking. Will we go back? Darn tootin we will. read more

This is a friendly, solid good food breakfast and lunch type of restaurant with comfortable seating and an open kitchen. It's nice that they try adding new flavors and their coffee is strong! Great local spot! read more

I look forward to going to Bob's every Sunday for breakfast. I've been to them all more than once, but typically go to the one in Imperial. The menu has anything you could want and the food is good and you get plenty of it! I can never come close to finishing my plate. I'd definitely recommend their french toast, but get it ala cart because you get three HUGE pieces when you order it as a meal. The service is always a pleasant fast experience. I like that its family owned and operated and I always hear about how Bob Marshall is a very very nice guy. Good luck to Bob with opening more locations! read more

I was in McKeesport Rocks and saw a sign for Bob's Diner. I am always looking for a good diner and I picked the right one. Nice atmosphere and not too busy for the early lunch hour. The menu was extensive but I always love a good omelet. I got the bacon and provolone omelet with fried potatoes and mancini's toast. The omelette was fluffy and stuffed full. I ended up taking some home with me. I was told to come back and I assured them I will. Will bring back friends the next time. read more

Good breakfast spot. A little more expensive than Kings used to be, but the food is good - service is good. Nice diner atmosphere.

Its been awhile since i had bobs but i always thought their food was delicious and service was good..had to give them 3 stars today tho. Our waitress all about forgot about us after we got our food. If she would have we could have told her that our potatoes were cold.. and we didnt order them Alaskan style. read more

Sadly, this review is about the service not food. I love trying new diners and decided to give Bob's a try. I walked in here with my friend, both hungry and ready to try this place. We walked in and stood up at the front for a solid 10 minutes. A few dirty tables and no "seat yourself" sign. Waitresses passed us with eye contact and seemed focused on their tables, cooks saw us and kept cooking. I am not sure if their host was missing but the fact not one staff acknowledge us was surprising. A "morning" or "be with you in a minute " would of been nice. We came, wanted to eat yet had to go somewhere else. We chose DeLucas and I'm happy we did! Great food and fast service. read more

Walked in to the moderately busy diner around 10 am on Sunday morning. Looked like all the tables were taken, yet no one was waiting for a table either. No clear instruction was posted so I just stood at the entrance with my date. Over the next ten minutes, many members of the wait staff looked at us and said nothing. We were apparently in the way for one as well as they pushed through us to get to a table. After ten minutes of being completely ignored and not even greeted, we decided to dine elsewhere. read more

We eat here quite often but left without eating breakfast on Sunday, January 25. We stood at the door while servers walked around us. Tables were not cleaned off so we couldn't just sit down. The usual workers weren't there so maybe there was a new crew. read more

Waited an hour for a burger that was way overcooked and very salty. Listened to the employees complain the entire time.

Usually a great place i was disappointed with my visit today, the omelette had grey something in it (probably from the grill it was cooked on) the toast was made from stale bread and the waitress, obviously new, and to be fair nice enough young lady, but, was forgetful, like she served kme without silverware so I had to ask. my not too good omelet sat under the heat light for too long while the waitress was busy somewhere else and not paying attention to deliver the goods although I was the only one at the counter. Also I should mention the cook obviously new was handling food with bare hands hopefully he washed them good.... read more

Bobs Diner is a pretty good place. But there is some bad things. One thing is my son is 13 and they gave him a cup that said on it count numbers 1,2,3,4,5. Another thing is that all the servers would walk right past us not giving me coffee and didn't even ask if we needed anything meanwhile my cup was clearly empty. This place is good but not the best. read more

At first I thought Bobs was awesome. But the last couple times I ate there I was disappointed. The service was slow. The place is in need of a good cleaning and paint job. As far as the food they never cook the home fries completely. Sorry but raw potatoes are not good for any meal. I still gave them 3 stars because they can be good at times depending how busy they are and who on the grill. read more

I am giving this a five star because the breakfast is really good. I ordered the pancakes with bacon. We sat at the bar because they were really busy. Our waitress was really sweet and took great care of us and the cook Jason was very busy but he handled things very smoothly. read more

Love Bob's diner! Breakfast sausage links are the best in town. Get there early as it gets crowded on weekends.

Bobs dinner was a very good place to eat in Pittsburgh but in the recent years it has been slacking. One reason is the service about 3 years ago you would get free refills but now you have to pay 2 dollars for one. Another way is the food I went there one day and I got a waffle and it tasted bad. The sever said we put it in a box we will get you another one. I got the other one and it still tasted bad. So you can see bobs dinner was good but now it's bad. read more

A couple of days ago my family and I ate at Bobs Diner in McKees Rock, and so very happy we did. The food, service and atmosphere was super!! The pancakes the best we have ever eaten, French toast was yummy, the burrito was the bomb!! And plentiful!! You will not leave hungry. Dawn our waitress was so attentive, she and the whole staff there were busy, and they all worked great together. Not a booth or table empty, says a lot about Bobs, and customers waiting at the door!! Prices reasonable, restaurant very sunny, bright and very clean. Beats any other breakfast place to eat. Will go back again and again!!! read more

Bob's is a great little breakfast spot. They are always busy but the waitstaff is never flustered or overwhelmed. We were here this morning and I have a breakfast burrito. I have never done the whole breakfast burrito thing before but it spoke to me today. I got it with bacon and it was divine. If I ever got it again I'd definitely have it as a brunch instead of a breakfast though. It's been almost seven hours and I'm still full. Bob's makes great omelets too. Good food, good sized portions, good atmosphere. Great little diner! I highly recommend. It's kind of off the beaten track but it's right near Ohio Valley General Hospital. Seems like the staff from the hospital come over to Bob's pretty regularly. I've never done lunch here but the breakfast is really perfect if you are looking for diner food. read more

I've been coming here for awhile now. Always good food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Good old-fashioned diner fare . . . not frozen, trucked-in, national chain food. read more

Stopped at Bobs at 2:30 pm not realizing they close 3:00 pm looked like grill all clean ready to leave for day, but they said have a seat that they had no problem taking order. placed order and felt welcome not at all rushed. I said we could leave but was told no problem service was great and done with a smile. Great food and very nice service. read more
