bob & edith's diner

waffle house is better quality and lower prices. very bland pan fried steak. potatoes were just that, with a touch of paprika for color .... no flavor. decent coffee, but at $3, not worth it.

great mom and pop spot. food was as good as back home down south. as for another reviewers (erobin) racially charged comment; look around fella, us salvadorians are everywhere.

i've supported this restaurant throughut the pandemic via doordash. i did a doordash pick up for the 2nd time and am fronted with poor customer service. i had my order tossed to me after i got staff attention while in a private conversation (no-business related) & they immediately resumed their conversation. no "thanks for your order". i had added a rip to the total. the manager laughed, as if she derived pleasure from treating a customer this way. never again.

open 24 hrs so you can make it at one point in your day! always great food and great customer service.... new locations opening closer which is good but now i wont be able to see all my late night crew in one spot from my bar crawls

i'm beginning to think that early morning workouts make my days off so much more productive. hit up am cycling at washington sports club in clarendon and found myself absolutely starving. max was up, and also off today so we decided to get breakfast at bob and edith's diner on columbia pike.

both of us decided to get the country fried steak, and neither of us was disappointed. it reminded me of a tasty home cooked version of something grandma would whip up. i was pleasantly surprised by how little oil they used to cook my home fries. often when cooking home fries or hash diners will use way too much oil and over salt. at bob and edith's they barely salted anything, which i really appreciated. 

if you're looking for a home cooked start to your day, or a late night option for munchies, i would definitely recommend bob and edith's diner.

very pleased. very friendly service. i received my food in great timing. more than one server stepped up to fill my cup, or offer to enhance my experience somehow. great service overall even during the hype in the evening, definitely stopping in again!

yum! breakfast all day. you have to love this diner! i had a wonderful veggie omelet, with crispy hash browns and toast. others with me had a tender crispy waffle and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. unparalleled comfort food

dissatisfied. we had been in years past. this last visit.. the potatoes weren't cooked. the waffle was cold and dry. the grapefruit juice was rancid. service was fine. won't be back though.

great experience. i stopped in at bob and edith's for breakfast this morning. the place was busy, you might have to stand at the door for a bit but the food is worth the wait. plus the kitchen moves the orders along at a good pace so they are able to rotate tables fairly quickly. i had a spot at the counter so i was able to watch the cook line and i liked what i saw! i wanted to try everything i watched them cook! big, thick pieces of french toast, fluffy waffles, crispy homefries. i will definitely be coming back. the service was very friendly, i was checked on frequently, and my food came out way sooner than i expected with the place being as busy as it was. i had the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, two eggs sunny side up, hashbrowns, and toast. it was absolutely delicious. oh and they made sure my coffee cup was always full! bonus!

mwah!!! i looove you bob and edith's. belgian waffles with ice cream and whip at 3 am -- yes i wanted it and yes i got it . friendly wait staff. meat loaf with mash and vouminous gravy and wonderful rolls with generous pats of butter. yum!! specials du jour -- all day breakfast, great jukebox -- this is my family away from family for sure!! but...no spaghetti? why should i have to go haflfway down the pike for sghettis when i want to slurp them here? is there a reason why you don't serve spaghetti and meatballs?

lol! i love bob. really i do.. while eating a late breakfast at bob and edith's diner in arlington va. today, i attempted to submit a review using my urban spoon android app. the review ended up saying simply...

"i love bob"

apparently there is a bug in the android app, where you can't use an ampersand (&) in the body of your reviews. if you do, then the rest of the review is simply trashed. there is no visible means of editing the review to fix it, so you try again, not knowing about the ampersand bug, with the same results. once i got back to my regular computer though, i was able to edit the review, so here it is...

i love bob & edith's diner. i come here for breakfast anytime my travels bring me close enough to stop by. last time i was here was in november 2013, and i had the opportunity to bring my wife with me. she liked it too.

it's definitely not to kind of food that you can eat every day, but for some high quality southern, homestyle, cooked to order comfort food like my grandmother used to make, it is definitely worth the trip.

great diner. i had chicken tenders and grilled cheese after seeing u2 in baltimore. this place will always have a special place in my heart. .

the food is very good but there's a lot of flys around the dinner, i was afraid i was going to eat one.

yes. a great friend told us about b&e's and she steered us right! the burger was fantastic! (hubs favorite by far) and the staff is super friendly. i highly recommend going!

adequate. i can't imagine this review going over well with folks, and maybe that's appropriate, since i'm not from d.c., and while i visit here often, and enjoy a wide selection of food from the crystal city/arlington area, perhaps i'm missing out on something.

i ate at bob & edith's recently, read the short story of the family and restaurant history, and was promptly served by a friendly gentleman. the coffee was alright, and the water cold. i took a look at the menu, and i expected great things. after all, a plate of eggs and sausage was nearly eight bucks.

instead i went for a western omelet. the food was served promptly and wasn't spectacular really. the home fries were slightly undercooked, and unseasoned. the omelet was pretty average, even bland, certainly not bursting with any unique flavors. i don't like reaching for the salt and pepper, but in this case i didn't have much choice if i wanted to enjoy my $11 worth of breakfast.

that's what killed me about the place. maybe i'm crazy, but $11 is a lot of money to me when it comes to one meal. i'm not cheap, i'll pay high dollar for a wonderful experience and delicious food. bob & edith's offered neither really. but, perhaps i'm asking too much. to be honest with you, as a marine of nearly seven years of service, i've had better omelets in chow halls in iraq and afghanistan.

there are lots of good places to eat in the area. in my opinion, you shouldn't waste your money here, there certainly isn't any "experience" to be had, unless you've never been in a waffle house.
