Bobs diner exterior
Beni D.

Amazing greasy spoon diner. Good food for good prices. Cash only so be sure to bring some or they have an ATM in the back.

I took my daughter to Bob's Diner. It's advertised as affordable five-star dining, so how could I pass that up? It's located on Ridge, next to a cemetery; which actually makes it kinda peaceful, not creepy. I adore a cute theme and the diner car is fun. It's cozy but not cramped, with plenty of space at the counter. The staff was friendly, though I have to mark down the service since the hostess ignored my daughter and I for two full minutes to pack mugs into a cardboard box while we waited to pay. The prices were reasonable for the portion size, but I wasn't impressed by the pancakes. The bacon was crispy and tasty, the eggs cooked well, and the coffee was average for a diner. Our meal came out to about $25, which was a little high for the quality. The joint is cash only, with an ATM in the back.

I met the owner's brother randomly one day and he mentioned this place. Ever since then it was on my bucket list - my husband and I tried it out for a low key breakfast date and it did not disappoint. inside, this place is larger than it looks from the outside but has a cozy, old school feel, you look around and you can tell some of the people there are loyal regulars. It feels like a hug on a cold day in there. This no frills place has some good eggs, fluffy pancakes and super friendly staff always waiting to give you coffee refills (the coffee is just ok, for all you coffee snobs out there). this might also be the place to go for a greasy hangover cure. Sit in a booth or sit at the bar/kitchen and have a chat with staff. I bet you'll leave this local favorite in a good mood.

Wow. Boy was that a treat! Great food, better people. They do it right at Bobs. Bob muffin is a must try! Don't say you're from Philly if you've haven't been to Bobs.

Delicious, friendly staff, got to sit next to my cute gf on the same side of the booth. She thought it was weird at first but I liked it.

What a fabulous diner! Authentic!…read more Walked into a very busy breakfast spot but the waitlist wasn't very long. Both the hostess and manager made sure Party of 3 was seated within 10 mins. We were seated in the train part of the diner and it didn't disappoint. Lots of greenery and eclectic Philly memorabilia too. Dorie was our waitress. Our table ordered: Chicken & Waffles, Breakfast Burrito and me - I couldn't decide so Dorie helped me create a sampler of sorts with Shrimp & Grits and 1 slice of Banana Foster French Toast. I originally ordered the Espresso Martini but it wasn't what I was expecting based on what I saw on IG. Dorie had no issue with getting me something else and brought me Espress Ya'Self. Now my daughter said the Breakfast burrito was full and tasty and her friend enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken thighs, vanilla waffle, herb-maple chicken gravy, hot-honey, maple butter. It looked really good. Now imagine banana foster flavor infused over a Texas Toast sized french toast with caramelized bananas and dark rum glaze with pecans. Be prepared for the prices but it's worth it!

Nothing hits quite like a classic grilled cheese and a bowl of…read moresoup--simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want while waiting to get tattooed at Central Tattoo. Warm, nostalgic, and perfectly timed, it's the kind of low-key meal that turns a casual afternoon into a small ritual. Sometimes the basics, done well, are all you need.

Philadelphia is not the Philadelphia. I grew up in. It's nasty and angry and ugly and it seems that nobody cares about doing a good job or providing a good service. The exception to my recent experiences in Philadelphia is the Oregon Diner. From the gentleman who seated us, our lovely and friendly waitress, the spotless dining room, delicious meal, and prices that are more than fair, everything in the Oregon diner was wonderful. To help make my point, I have never in my life, eaten a side dish of spinach that was more tasty. Spinach. Who puts that much effort into a side of spinach? The Oregon Diner Chef, that's who. The French Onion Soup and burger were tops too. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It brought me back to the South Philly I remember from my childhood. Thank you for restoring my faith that there is some good still left in Philadelphia. God bless you! Go here next time you are looking for someplace to eat. You will not be disappointed.

This spot wasn't our first choice, but it ended up being the best stop of the day. It's right off…read moreHighway 38 and easy to see from the road. Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal. I had the open‑face Turkey Reuben and the portion was definitely shareable and very good. My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.
