First time going here. And I am very glad we did! I grew up in West Hartford & had never been to Sally & Bobs. Driven by thousands of times & thought it was a hole in the wall not worth trying. I was wrong. The restaurant is on North Main Street , just past the intersection of Farmington Avenue (West Hartford Center). There is free parking in a good sized lot just north of the restaurant, so don't stress about trying to find on street parking. The restaurant is clean, bright & inviting. Open for breakfast and lunch. We were there about 11:30 on a Friday. No wait, however, when we left there was a line. The servers (all of them cover for each other) were terrific. We felt welcomed & taken care of. My husband & I had breakfast - 2 omelettes, toast, home fries & coffee. Delicious. Reasonably priced. Next time , because there WILL be a next time, I'll try the amazing French toast with berries that went by our table.

Coffee

First time trying Sally and bobs eatery in West Hartford . We decided to go for Saturday brunch . Located in the center Sally and bobs is very popular for breakfest , we waited a couple min before being seated by the lovely staff. .the staff was very sweet and got our orders taking immediately. We got served our coffee quickly , they offer free coffee refills which I loved . I ordered the veggie eggs Benedict served with cooked spinach , mushrooms and , tomatos . The food was delicious and cooked perfectly ! The home fries were good as well . The space was a little crowded and very busy but overall we had a great experience . Will definitely be back :)

Hash omelette

We went to Sally & Bob's Eatery for breakfast and it was great! I got the hash omelette and my wife got the spinach & tomato eggs benedict. The hash omelette was good and I got it served with their homemade hot sauce which was not too spicy but very tasty! The service was extremely attentive and we got asked 10 times whether we had everything we needed and if we need more water, coffee, or whatever. We will be back!

Worth the wait!!!! We came on a Saturday morning so as busy as we expected. The staff is very kind! The food was GREAT! Pictured is the California omelet, sausage which was super crispy (not burnt) and challah French toast with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries!!!! 5 stars! Great experience!

Great hugh portions. Very tasty and reasonably priced. The customer service was 5 stars. Very busy inside with out door seating. This is my go to place when in West Hartford.

Amazing service and breakfast. The veggie omelette was very tasty and required no condiment use at all. Side of bacon was perfection. Can't wait to come back and enjoy again. Gluten-free toast is available too!

"Down on the corner Out in the street" (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Not too far from West Hartford's crazy busy corner where North Main Street hits Farmington Avenue you'll find a local institution known as Sally and Bob's. It's only been around since 1969. Just like the street corner they're near, Sally and Bob's was also crazy busy at 10am on a Tuesday. So busy that there was a wait to sit inside. So, with the nice weather, we gladly took a table at their outdoor patio by the front door. We had an excellent breakfast of two omelets and two coffees for $29.25 before tip. Both omelets came with a pile of home fries and toast. My Mexican Omelet ($13) was a thing of beauty with thinly sliced Chorizo, jalapenos, onions, tomato & Monterey Jack cheese. The home fries were great- small cubes of tender potatoes with a crispy surface. My two slices of rye toast were perfectly toasted. When our server (Jazz) asked if I wanted any ketchup or hot sauce for my omelet, I asked for hot sauce. Jazz asked if I wanted their homemade hot sauce, and this is where my breakfast soared into a new dimension. Now let's be real, if you're a hot sauce guy or gal, how can you possibly refuse to try someone's homemade hot sauce. I'm telling you, it was amazing, with a smoky chipotle flavor and a medium heat level. It was far from nuclear, but I'd rather have a ton of flavor than a white-hot Novocain burn. Portion sizes were great, we both took home half of our omelets and potatoes. The coffees were very good and were $3 each. We really enjoyed our visit to Sally and Bob's. We had driven by it maybe 100 times and always said "we should try them some day". Well yesterday was the day, and it was excellent. PRO TIP Free parking in a big lot behind the restaurant. Look for an entry driveway just north of their building.

Egg with croissant and turkey sausage

This place is much bigger than it looks from the outside and they embrace the idea of the bottomless cup of coffee! My friend had to take a lengthy medical call just as we sat down and the servers never rushed us at any time. Several servers walk around refilling coffee at all times. The food came out quickly and I loved the options to substitute fruit for home fries and turkey sausage for pork sausage. Great service and good food! I will be back again, maybe for lunch!

I had the Branzino and it was great. This time I had the fruitta de mare and the sauce was extremely bland. Dish felt dried out. Not enough variety of seafood either. Mostly mussels and calamari. Was presented in a weird dish too. I did not care for it at all. They gave me gnocchi for gluten free pasta. It was fine just sauce was bland as mentioned. My boyfriend loved his Orrechiete and it was very good. I will say from the mozzarella bar we had the burrata and the tomatoes were flavored beautifully and the bread also looked quite nice. Bf said it was great. Giving Treva a 4 for last time it was great and everything other than my entree this time was good.

As coffee snobs, we all agreed the coffee was very good. The French toast was excellent. Cooked fresh and tasty. My French toast was smothered in fresh bananas and blueberries and my wife's fruit salad was fresh and nothing canned. My turkey sausage consisted on three small links that were tasty and maybe cooked a while ago. My daughter loved her omelet and all the veggies were fresh and not canned. The prices were very reasonable and the service was excellent and friendly. The bathrooms were clean. We would return if we lived in the area.

Amazing Food, Beautiful Ambience, and One Billing Issue to Fix…read more Fire by Forge is quite an experience. The ambience is beautiful, with gorgeous brick walls and a thoughtfully designed space that makes the restaurant feel special. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch. Our waitress explained that Fire by Forge is a nonprofit organization that teaches culinary skills and helps employees find jobs afterward. It's a wonderful mission, and it was great to learn about the work being done through the restaurant. I had the honey chicken sandwich, which was delicious. The honey was perfectly balanced, adding just enough sweetness without overwhelming the other flavors. The homemade kettle chips were a little overdone but still very good. My friends had the ribs and the burger, and everyone was extremely impressed with their meals. The alcoholic drinks were excellent, too. We had mules, and they were fantastic. Unfortunately, the billing process took some of the shine off an otherwise excellent experience. The check included an automatic gratuity that appeared to be less than a standard tip, along with another charge that none of us could identify. We assumed the additional charge might support the nonprofit's mission, but that wasn't clear. We were then left trying to calculate how much additional gratuity to leave on top of the amount already included. For example, if a customer wants to leave a 25% tip and the bill already includes 10% gratuity, they have to calculate the additional 15%. If there's another unexplained charge, it becomes even harder to determine what has actually been paid and what additional amount, if any, should go to the server. This should be explained clearly upfront and itemized on the menu or check. Supporting the nonprofit may be a worthwhile part of the experience, but customers should know what they're being charged for before the bill arrives. Clear communication would also help ensure that neither customers nor staff are left at a disadvantage. Overall, Fire by Forge has exceptional food, wonderful drinks, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend it. With a little more transparency around the billing and gratuity, the entire experience would be just as impressive as the meal itself.

The atmosphere was relaxing, clean, and family-friendly. One thing that immediately stood out was the menu. It's about 10 pages long, with an incredible variety of options.

The drinks are garnished with fresh flowers and slices of lemon or cucumber, making them feel extra special. Even the food is served with colorful touches like a slice of orange and a strawberry on a skewer, showing they really pay attention to the details. My kids enjoyed an orange juice and an apple juice. I ordered the mango dragonfruit lemonade, and it was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect drink for a warm day. For my meal, I had the avocado toast topped with an egg and crispy bacon. It was fresh, filling, and absolutely delicious. The boys loved their meals too. One had the chocolate chip pancakes, which were fluffy and loaded with chocolate chips, while the other had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich served with crispy home fries. They also offer a great selection of specialty waffles and pancakes, giving us plenty of reasons to come back and try something new. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service was outstanding. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit.
