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.
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 :)
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.
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!

We visit West Hartford 2-3 times a year, occasionally more to visit family, so when we're there we enjoy trying out the eateries in the vicinity. I say this so readers will consider that my perspective may not be the same as those that live in the area. So with that caveat, I must provide this disappointing review. To begin with, Sally & Bob's is located in a very busy area with very limited curbside parking so that even getting there can be an inconvenience. Once we arrived, the staff was slow to seat us and slower still to take our orders. I'm not talking about a place that isn't rushing you to order, more like somewhere that could care less about their customers. The food was decent, but nothing special. I will not be returning or recommending it. Candidly, my impression is that it seems to be a place that caters to locals who know: 1) not to wait to be seated, 2) what they want to order as soon as they sit down, and 3) know the staff consider them "regulars". If this is you, it may very well be what you're looking for as there is no "hurry up, eat and leave" approach. read more

Oh my word. If you want a diner breakfast in the heart of west Hartford this is your spot! Huge portions and an amazing staff. Our server George was so attentive and even gave us coffees to go! The spot is small so you may have to wait read more
Came here on a Sunday for brunch for two without a reservation. It does seem to get busy though so recommend coming earlier! Food: - Homemade corned beef hash and eggs: brings me back to my childhood with this dish! Love the runny yolk with my corned beef hash. It comes with homefries and toast, but you can substitute this out for other options for a fee. Add a little hot sauce for the perfect bite! The portion size is big, so come hungry. - Lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberries: this was one of the specials on the day that we came. The pancakes were light and airy due to the ricotta with a light lemon flavor that paired well with the fresh blueberries. Service/Ambiance: Cute old school diner vibes! Food took a bit longer than expected to come out, but the place was completely full. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Free parking in the back of the restaurant, which is great since West Hartford center can be challenging for parking. Overall: solid mom and pop style diner for breakfast in CT! read more
Are a bunch of their breakfast specials and it was so good. Corn beef hash was good and not too heavy. Scrambled eggs cooked exactly how I like it and not too salty. French toast was BOMB love the vibes and this place and the servers are so sweet. They were checking if we needed anything very often and multiple different servers. Want to come back!! read more

Food and service were above and beyond! The pumpkin cinnamon swirl pancakes and chorizo eggs Benedict... So good. There was a wait to get in but so worth it!! read more
A decent greasy spoon diner that needs some polish to truly shine Out again for another cold morning. Opted to go for a highly rated breakfast spot, and this place was one of the top rated. We get seated relatively quickly and our server was a little new so they were not as attentive as I would've liked. But everyone starts off new, so I didn't worry too much about it. Looking through their menu, I see french toast but I don't see the flavors I was looking for. After having a very good, custardy french toast in manchester, I wanted to get the same flavors but with that little extra to make it that much better. So I piece together my creation: Their Challah French toast, with their apples with cinnamon warmed up, pure maple syrup, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The request goes over mostly decent. The Challah french toast is cooked well and has a little bit of custardy bites in the center. The apples with cinnamon were barely warmed up, not sweet enough to counteract the cinnamon, which they liberally tossed on the apples. The pure maple syrup was served hot on the side, and the scoop of ice cream was in slivers in a small cup. So I prop up the french toast, press the ice cream into the bottom of the small bowl to form a proper scoop, place it right on top, then drizzle with pure maple syrup. If they warmed up the apples more, into a cinnamon apple jam, then this could be an amazing french toast. If they actually used a decent vanilla ice cream and not one slightly freezer burnt, then it could've been stellar. But unfortunately those issues did exist on my plate, and although pretty good, was not what I was hoping for. read more

I love coming here because it's very clean and spacious, with helpful and friendly staff. They care about the dining experience and the meal was great. read more
Such a homey place. The food tastes homemade and perfect for a weekend brunch. They refill coffee and the hospitality is really family like. It can get busy sometimes with a wait time and other times it's not so busy. I've been here twice and I enjoyed it both times. It's not a place to sit eat and work, it's more like a let's go have brunch with family and talk kind of place. I enjoyed it here. read more

We visited on a busy Sunday around noon. We had a short wait for the table, but that was just fine with us. From the amount of people pouring in, we knew that food was good. Service was prompt and waiter was friendly. Everything we ordered came out as we expected. We will return and recommend to others. read more

Anyone who's spent even a little bit of time in West Hartford has heard of Sally & Bob's. This homey breakfast hub dishes out all the classics--pancakes, French Toast, muffins, bagels, omelettes... you name it, along with their specials. The Banana French Toast (one of their specials) was a definite highlight. This consisted of two thick slabs of toast sandwiching whipped cream and topped with caramelized bananas, fresh berries and syrup. It was practically dessert. The Tower (another special) provided some savory balance to our brunch with loads of hash, homefries, scrambled egg and bacon. If they don't have any French Toast specials, the Challah French Toast is a solid alternative, but there is an upcharge for every topping. We washed it all down with their house coffee and our mornings were made. Sally & Bob's does tend to get packed, so show up early if you're with a large party. For parking, use the private parking lot in the back! read more
