bob & edith's diner

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 homecookedversion 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 homecookedstart to your day, or a late night option for munchies, i would definitely recommend bob and edith's diner.

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,cookedto order comfort food like my grandmother used to make, it is definitely worth the trip.

the food is horrendous and the services is even worse. the place is a really old and looks like a trailer home: i guess it makes their clientele feel at home. they offer "home fries" as their only potato side. i've never eaten a potato i didn't like...until i ate the home fries at bob & edith's. they are completely flavorless, cold and taste at least 2 days old. there is a red seasoning but i am unable to figure out what seasoning it is because as i said earlier, their is absolutely no flavor whatsoever. i ordered a country fried steak that was totally over cooked. i had to cut the entire outter edge and could only eat the middle. the few parts of the steak that were not overcookedtasted descent. the eggs were ok but as with the potatos, they were cold. service was none existent. a lady came and took our order and we didn't see her again. i don't recommend this place

friendly staff, great service and homecookedmeal. what else could i ask for.
