    Bah! Brunch, brunch, brunch. Seems like it's all anyone ever talks about these days! Sometimes you just want some good ol' fashioned diner food. Buttery pancakes, big slice of ham, greasy and delicious hash browns. That's what I'm talking about. And if that's what gets you outta bed in the morning, Bob & Edith's is where you should go! Perfect diner vibe, super friendly staff, and some of the best pancakes I've had in years. Go! Eat!

    Price is very reasonable. The half smoke and eggs breakfast was perfect. Service fantastic. It was everything I wanted from a diner. 10/10 would recommend

    I bought the grilled cheese sand a bowl of chili for my lunch and then I bought to take it with me for my dinner. Liver and irons mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetable medley.. The customer service at the cashier was great. The cook didn't seem to be too happy to be there. My grilled cheese sandwich was good. It had bacon and tomato on it. The chili tasted like it was from the can and had not been stood down long enough. Deliver an I s we're deplorab the liver was so thin And the gravy didn't taste like it was made from the liver. It tasted like some other gravy. The mashed potatoes were good under vegetable metally, which was okay too. I don't think I will go back. Because for forty dollars, I thought my food should have tasted better, and I think my bill may have been so high because they may have put on an automatic gratuity. I really didn't pay attention, and I really don't care. I just know that if the food is not good. I will not go back no matter how much or how little it costs.

    The food was much better and tasty. Servers wereso attentive to my needs and made sure that the order was right. A slice of heaven is this place, however it is not easy to get a table.

    In town and the hubby has to find biscuits and gravy. Well, what a cute place he found. We were able to park on the street then later found that there is also parking behind the restaurant. We got a table quickly and were greeted right away by the friendly staff. The coffee was good and there were lots of food options. He actually got the chicken fried steak but it included gravy which he said was very good. I built my own omlette and it was great even without cheese.

    Pleasantly surprised with the food here. I actually really enjoyed the pancakes and my club sandwich was very solid. Good portion sizes but I did find it kind of expensive for a diner. Service was decent but not great considering how large their staff is. We were given much attention when we sat down but once we ordered everything went more smoothly. Solid 4 stars for sure. Recommend for anyone seeking the comfort of a traditional diner.

    Pretty good time here as a visitor. My parents will give this place a lower review, but they took us there for brunch during Mother's Day which everyone knows was a busy day for restaurants. I enjoyed the outdoor seating area and had plenty of good diner food.

    This place is everything you want in a diner. It's fast, cheap and good. I got the B&E Burger. I love me a fried egg on a burger. In total, me and my friend spent less than 30 minutes at the table. That's pretty fast for a sit down restaurant!

    Great diner breakfast! Wonderful service from Val, and everything tasted amazing. Looks like most breakfast meals range from $9-$16 with a wide range of American diner classics.

    We waited and waited and waited. People around us gave up and left. But we waited. People around us received the wrong order and left. But we waited. Seriously, the couple adjacent to us wiped the food from their seats, ordered tea, and were served coffee. And they left. We waited some more. A second server apologized for our wait, and we reordered. And we waited. Eventually, our food arrived. And they got it wrong. Over an hour and a half of our time was wasted. But let's put all that aside. Because a great meal is worth the wait. Unfortunately, this was not a great meal. It wasn't even a mediocre meal. The coffee was corrosive sludge, and the food was... Well, we didn't die. I guess that counts for something.
