The service was impeccable. My coffee cup was never empty. My breakfast was delicious.i had a fratatta omelette and had 2 over easy eggs with a pancake and side of crispy bacon.

I stopped here for a late breakfast with my wife. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in, coffee was quick and hot. My wife ordered egg sandwich with xtra crispy bacon and hash browns xcrispy. I ordered two eggs over easy, hash browns and sausage patties. The food was ready in less than 5 minutes and everything was cooked perfectly. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. I will stop here again if I'm in the area. Friendly and attentive waitress. read more

Nice sized portions - service is good, if you're a local. I visited this spot with my husband last fall and we enjoyed a nice meal with generous leftovers. The sever was adequate and so we decided last month to take my parents & cousin for lunch. Upon arrival during the lunch hour, we entered and there was a young man greeter. When we asked him to sit at the tables near the window, he told us that he had cleaned it and was not seating anyone there. We noticed quite the mess on the floor under the tables, and it clearly did not appear clean even though the tables were reset. Instead he setup 2 adjoining booths (which was less comfortable for the older folks in our party) and told us those were are seats. My cousin and mother asked for salads except they were told that there wasn't much lettuce left and they made alternate selections. There seemed to be regulars at the establishment who received friendly smiles and warm welcomes to their booths, while the atmosphere felt cooler toward our party. It's a nice spot (in a pinch) and you won't leave hungry. However, the dimly lit ambiance and lack of attention to provide outstanding service won't land this spot at the top of our "must visit" list. read more

I've been here twice now and it was like night and day. The good was absolutely delicious both times, but the service was not so great the first time. Gave Bob's a second try and everything was spot on. Very casual, tasty diner food. read more

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning, luckily it was not busy, and we were seated right away. Waitress was so friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was taken care of and topping up coffee, talking to the regulars. Exactly the type of service you want at a diner. I had the hot stuff omelet; hubby got the Irish benedict. Food came out super quick, hot and fresh. The hot sauce on my omelet was really good and I am going to assume the benedict was good because he polished off the plate. Portion size was perfect for me, and prices were reasonable. What more can you ask for, a solid choice for breakfast, better than I expected and will go again. read more

They charge 3$ for just a tea bag. Not the whole set up. Just a generic tea bag. I ordered hot tea. They brought me a full tea pot of hot water and one tea bag. Unlimited coffee next to me. I ask for another tea bag and am told it's another $3. For the tea bag only. Still have a full tea pot of hot water. This is just nickel and diming and is unnecessary. Food wasn't bad but this is stupid. read more

Waitress was rude and inattentive. Their rules also require patrons to order more than they can eat, not allowed to share, and portions are far from what they should be. Won't be returning. NY diners have never disappointed me before, so hope they're proud of that first place finish. Disappointing behavior from my home state. read more

I visited Bob's Diner most recently in May, during a visit with my boyfriend to his hometown. Service is always friendly and kind, the food is solidly delicious, and you can't beat those prices! Hehe. My Greek omelette was delicious, and I will always appreciate a well-buttered toast. Also - now that my boyfriend has moved back to town, it looks like I've got more visits to Bob's in my near future :) read more

Just had the worst experience at Bob's Diner. The food was delicious, the waitress busy but expected on a Sunday morning. She hadn't gotten to our table to deliver the check but no big deal. Figured we would go to the register and wait so as to free up the table. The hostess was nasty and rude when she was advised we hadn't gotten the check. She stated, "you're not going to get it standing here. You need to go back and wait". I advised she didn't need to be rude with which she replied "Don't like service, you don't have to come back. We don't need your business". Now I understand why Steve's Original had a 45 minute wait. I will go to Steve's or Sunny's moving forward. read more

Came to Rochester to visit family and stayed near bob's diner. Before retiring to DC we stopped by to grab breakfast. Came around 830, no wait but almost every table was taken. First impressions is that they staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. My spouse got the Irish Benedict which is a weekend only dish and I got a breakfast sandwich with hash browns. Both tasted great. I really appreciated how the hash browns were fried hard and everything was seasoned. Staff was super nice. Would recommend! read more

Who knew this diner was hiding in plain sight this whole time? I certainly didn't. Let's face it, being in the same plaza as the DMV means most people nearby are going to be tired and crabby and by extension, hungry. But you're not going to notice the perfect food option right in front of you in a post-DMV mood. Now that the DMV has moved, the plaza has a chance to shine, and Bob's Diner has exactly what you never knew you were looking for. If you like the ambiance of older diners and an affordable breakfast to boot, Bob's is your place. It's one of those places where things have been the same for years and you either love it or hate it. In my case, I'm a sucker for anything nostalgic and there's something to be said about diners. This is a breakfast and lunch type of place, but breakfast is available all day and is an excellent choice. I started with one of the omelets, and for an extra $3 I added on home fries. Most places these days, you can't get the omelet for less than what I paid for at Bob's. Even with adding on the home fries it was still cheaper than anything else I've paid recently. Luckily, the food was completely worth it. I had no cause for complaints. Good service, solid food, and in a perfect juxtaposition of old and new, free wifi with the password right on the front of the menu. It's time for Bob's Diner to get some attention. You might think that it would be a bad idea to get more people going to a long time hole in the wall, but not in this case. Even when it says "please wait to be seated", you never wait for very long. This plaza is ready for a new era where everyone nearby is in a much better mood than before and leaves satisfied. read more

Was on a 13 day road-trip and this was the best diner breakfast we found. Our server was delightful and the food delicious. The ambiance is typical diner that needs a little TLC but that just adds to the charm in my opinion. I had the omelette with hot meat sauce. Quite possibly the best omelette combination ever. Loved it so much we asked for their hot meat sauce recipe. I'm from California but have added this little spot to my top diner list read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon while in town for a busy college weekend-I was a bit surprised at the closing time, I believe it was 3:00, but we arrived around 1:30 so we were good. Diner was busy, but we were greeted and seated right away. Restaurant had older decor, but the place was clean. Waitress introduced herself and got us drinks right away, then we ordered our food. I got a hamburger with fries, we split onion rings, and my guest ordered a couple of hot dogs. Food was served quickly, and everything was good. Overall, a good value for the money, and a quick and easy experience. The only strange part was that all employees were wearing masks-No other restaurant I visited in Rochester over the past few weeks had their employees in masks-I'm wondering if this is because the clientele, for the most part, was a little older. To each their own, though! It's just nice to see a warm smile every now and then. I'll likely return if looking for something low key and inexpensive in the future. read more

If first impressions were everything then Bob's hit a perfect bullseye. Great atmosphere, fair prices and Mind blowing lunch service. The Philly Cheese Steak and steak fries were ON POINT. Moreover, watching the staff go out of their way to assist and make comfortable a wheelchair bound customer was both heart warming and amazingly reafirming that YES Great people still DO exist. read more

In the quaintest little strip mall in Henrietta, just a short, peaceful stroll down the lane from the DMV... "Everything about this place says 'no,' but the food says 'yes'" - a damn genius (a.k.a Dave). This is what a diner looks like. The menu is straight up sweets, savories, and sandwiches. I overheard a patron asking if he could order an egg Benedict, and the waitress shot him down. Go to some fancy hipster joint if you can't handle the nitty gritty of a real breakfast! Bob's Sandwich: a rye bread breakfast sandwich. No sides. Sides are for suckers. The menu description does not do the sandwich justice. It does a good job of articulating the material ingredients, but leaves off the important details (namely, the butter-infused, grilled rye bread that tastes better than any rye bread you've ever had - or will ever have again). Breakfast sandwich with shred potatoes. The cheese was "just melted enough," or possibly "not over-melted." I can't remember the exact phrasing. Lordy, I wish there were tapes. Ambiance: The coffee bar comprises a lonely coffee maker. Some think the ceiling is "too 70's." Such people are unaware of the proto-Indo European root "kan-," meaning "to sing," which evolved into the Latin canere and carmen ("song, verse, enchantment, religious formula") and thence into the Old French charme and, finally, into the Modern English "charm," meaning a small item worn to avert evil, the third most massive of all quarks, or, here, having a pleasing quality or an irresistible power to please and attract. Don't Miss: The plain ol' breakfast sandwich. Crunchy and chewy and salty and umami in all the right places. Pro Tip: Sneak a round of archery in before work at the indoor range next door. Pro Tip #2: Come here before the DMV opens so you don't have to wait in line like a sucker. read more

I live down the road from Bob's Diner and when I went years ago, I learned exactly what to expect here. Nothing was high-quality and the service was fair at best, but I had some decent lunches. It wasn't good enough to draw me back frequently, but it was acceptable enough that I'd stop in periodically. After being away for a while, I decided to stop back in and it's now worse than ever. The interior continues to be dated, but now the ceiling is riddled with water damage with stained tiles and rusted bars holding them up. The service and food are now mediocre at best. The cheesesteak is on par with what I made 30 years ago as a teenager using cheap steak-ums from the grocery store. When I asked the server if the fries were crinkle fries or flat fries, she said, "I don't know" and had no interest in finding out, so I passed on those. And when I asked if they had any type of vegetable, the answer was a blunt NO. It's as if the folks who run and work at this place hate the restaurant business. This just might be a good candidate for Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares." As for me, I won't be back anytime soon but pray that the place gets its act together one day. read more

I had a good experience at Bob's Diner when my sister and I went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We were seated reasonably quickly. Our drinks (coffee and juice) were brought out quickly while we put in our orders, which were also brought out quickly. The home fries were delicious! The decor is minimal. Bob's Diner isn't fancy at all, it's your basic diner - perhaps a bit boring but always dependable. read more

A surprising treat of a diner in Henrietta located in the same plaza as the DMV. It was a convenient stop for breakfast when I was in the area and prepping for an afternoon of errands. They have breakfast all day (hooray!) and a variety of lunch and dinner options too. It's mostly booth seating with a counter in the back. The breakfast is my diner pick -- corned beef hash, the classic breakfast with toast and sausage, and especially a good ol' breakfast sandwich with a soft roll, melty American cheese, eggs, and bacon. The staff are so lovely and friendly. They greet everyone with a smile and kindness, and you know it's a good spot when you hear them joking with the regulars. read more

Bob's Diner gave us a great start to our Saturday morning. Their french toast is delicious -- nice and eggy and not too sweet. I loved the Bob's Sandwich Special: scrambled egg and melted cheddar on grilled rye bread. All three of us enjoyed the tasty home fries -- crispy in parts and great with hot sauce. Our server, Kelly, was attentive and friendly throughout. We'll be back whenever we are at RIT! read more

Well after more than one or two visits Bob's diner has become my favorite place to eat old school meals, but mostly their burgers are to die for...Seriously I have had many burgers as I'm sure you all have, but Bob's is just so damn good in every way...Juicy, tender and cooked to perfection is always a good thing...Originally I gave Bob's 4 stars and that's still good, but after today's lunch I had no choice but to bump it up to a 5 star rating...The service, the staff and quality make's Bob's a hit for me...Also the meat sauce is pure heaven and I make my own at home and it's darn close to mine...So if you want that good old diner experience, great food and friendly service, Bob's is the place for you...Plenty of plaza parking and other stores to shop while your there is another plus...Today's special was a bacon cheeseburger, with fries and a drink for $11.00 + tax and tip it came to $17.25...Folks I'm stuffed and I'll be going back soon...Bob's is located at 2199 E Henrietta Rd in the corner of the plaza... read more

This place is the bomb!! You can't go wrong here awesome food great prices quick service!!!!!

My husband and I popped in here for a quick dinner while doing laundry next door. Bob's definitely has the homestyle diner feel as soon as you walk in the door. Our waitress took our orders promptly and our food was delivered quickly. The fried chicken was PERFECT! Light and crispy breading, with juicy flavorful chicken. Their gravy is so good I could eat it with a spoon! Their homemade bbq sauce that is served with their chicken fingers is delicious as well. The staff was friendly and helpful and I can't wait to come back and try their ALL DAY breakfast! read more

Food was fine, until my sister and I got stomach aches an hour or so later (having not eaten anything between leaving the restaurant and our stomachs turning). We were both pale and cold and sweaty and it concluded with an unpleasant end, which I won't go into detail about. Service was fine, but our waitress was almost cold and rushed through taking our order. Heard the servers chirp the cooks about a dish that didn't turn out right - that should be done out of earshot of the customers out of respect for the cooks that are bringing in business. Washroom smelled something awful. Overall, this diner was a bit of an odd experience. I mean, all staff had dead-eyes. I worked in the food industry and I know how taxing it can be, but the overall morale was low and it left us feeling off about the whole place. Maybe we caught it on an off day bc there is obviously a reason for its popularity. Won't be going back if I can help it. read more

The food was excellent, the prices are very reasonable, the elderly hostess and waitress were some of the nicest I've ever met. They have the best cottage cheese I've ever had in a restaurant - don't know where they got it, but it was the bomb. The grilled chicken breast on Kaiser roll was delicious. Everything - classic small town diner in both menu and presentation. What's more, when we mentioned it to people in downtown Rochester, every single person knew immediately the place we were talking about - that says a lot more than my review. Highly recommended. read more

Stopped in today. Very outdated booths with only 3 tables. Because of covid they wouldn't seat us at a table even though two of the tables had people at them just as close as the third table. Did not feel welcome. Also instead of an online or paper menu they expected you take pictures of one menu opened up on a chair... This place definitely needs an update badly. read more

Been patronizing Bob's for 6 years. Bob's is exactly what it is: a small diner in a small suburb of a medium-sized city in upstate NY. And doesn't it do a great job of it! Food is diner food. It's cooked fast, to order, and good. Prices are reasonable and it's so nice to have a stand-alone alternative to chain diners. The staff makes the place. The waitresses, cooks, and bussers have character, and are friendly. Come a few times and you'll know each others' names. Casual conversations are wont to arise. In short, a "small town diner experience". No waiting, too. If you haven't been, try it, you'll like it! read more

Have been a steady customer for several years now but that all ends today. Unfortunately our Server K____ took an already bad situation and made it worse. I tried to eat the meal she put in front of me but after a few minutes knew I just couldn't eat it. I explained to her what my issue was and she told me, " don't worry, you're not the first person to complain about this particular meal". She took my plate and tossed the rest of my meal in the garbage per my request. #1- if you've already had complaints about this meal why didn't you mention it to me? Or discuss with the kitchen staff so that they could remedy the problem before putting it back on the menu? #2- why didn't you adjust the bill but still charge me full price even though it was you yourself who tossed it out? Only after I complained to the very nice guy at the register did she decide to take $5 off the bill. But she was so loud & rude about it almost every customer in the restaurant could hear her. A problem, that was their fault, could have been handled much more professionally & kindly! She unfortunately added insult to injury and is the reason my friend & I have decided to purchase our future meals at other nearby diners/restaurants. read more
