True diners are hard to find in the DC area. This is a great place to grab a no frillls diner meal in the southern style. Stopping in with our kids we got a wide sample of the menu and it hit the trifecta of good food, filling, and value. Fans of Waffle House, the pecan waffles and chocolate chip pancakes exceeded expectations; both were much more substantial than expected. The hashbrowns were also very large, and the French toast was more than enough for a single person. If you want a hefty diner breakfast, this will get you there. read more

Just landed from a long flight and feeling hungry in the morning, bob and edith's diner is only 8 minutes away from DCA. Ordered the eggs and bacon breakfast with hash brown and toast. Food taste great, the price to portion size is just right. Overall a great diner for breakfast. Only draw back is they are busy so wait time could be a little longer. read more

A standard diner with food that gets the job done. Staff were very friendly and attentive though, which I loved at 2 am! Tables were kind of dirty and had to clean the table myself before sitting down. read more

Loved this diner my boyfriend picked out for us to go to while walking the streets of old town Alexandria. The food is homemade and so delish. The staff is so friendly and the ambiance is in true diner form. We had a lovely brunch and great conversation, nice break out of the food. Prices are very good, especially for this part of town. I recommend if you're in the area. read more

Grabbed some French toast at 0430 while awaiting the King St Metro station to open. It was pretty good and big pieces of bread too. I could only eat one. read more

Heard about this diner a while ago and was in town and had to try it. Came here for breakfast. I ordered French toast with hash browns, bacon and eggs! Everything was amazing. Very fulfilling! French toast was nice and thick. Nice little crisp on the outside and not too soft. Hash browns were seasoned really well. Weren't too salty or bland. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful! read more

The food was great. Service was great. Had an authentic dinner feel which I loved. Sweet tea tasted like lipton powder mix which I did not love. This will be my go to diner when I'm in the Alexandria area. It was sooo busy and now I know why! read more

Who doesn't love a 24 hour diner? Apparently us.. We got in pretty late to Alexandria and this place was recommended to us. Honestly? If we had known the options, we would have grabbed premade sandwiches from 7 eleven. Ok so the place had one server and one cook. Neither probably wanted to be there but I can't really blame them.. it isn't their fault the quality of the food is so bad. My sympathy for them is why I even gave two stars. The tea tasted like there was fruit punch in it, so we switched to a root beer. I ordered the country fried steak and my husband ordered the patty melt. The country fried steak was the saddest excuse for country fried steak I have ever seen. I was offered brown gravy and sausage gravy? So I just got brown. Either already made or a powder mix reheated with water. The mashed potatoes were texturally weird. I know they were instant but maybe not stirred enough with hot water? Even the veggies were weird, tasted old. The broccoli was yellow. The patty melt...The rye bread was good and toasted perfectly. The beef patty was probably the most bottom rung beef I have had since my adolescence. The green beans tasted reheated out of a can that has probably been there since Bob & Edith originally opened the restaurant.. It left a lot to be desired. I'd have to be completely hammered and unable to walk, desperate for some kind of food substance to even consider eating from here again. read more

First time dining at Bob & Eddies Diner in Old Town Alexandria, VA. The restaurant is walking distance to King Street Metro Station and is open 24 hours. We enjoyed our breakfast: French toast, eggs, country fried steak with sausage & gravy etc. We give it 4/5 stars! The service was great and food didn't take very long. Give them a try when in the area. Happy Yelping :) read more

I've been to a few. Typically late at night. The food is alright but constantly inconsistent. Last week, the sausage was undercooked and the coffee could strip paint. The other day. Best cup of java I've had in a long time. It's a chain diner. It gets the job done. read more

Always a treat to grab breakfast at Bob and Edith's! They get busier as the weather warms up, but the food is worth the wait. I love the pancakes while my husband always gets the steak and eggs. The coffee is good and just keeps coming. The only reason I can't give five stars yet is because the Hilltop location is still short of staff so there can be a bit of a wait on service time. Overall though, a great greasy spoon for casual brunch and family time! read more

The place was swamped at 9:45 Sunday morning with a line out the door. Super attentive service. Classic diner atmosphere. Other wait staff checking on you and pumping out diner food as fast as they could. Sat at the counter and watched the line cooking food. Live food tv. Had the country fried steak and eggs with hash brown with white gravy. Excellent Sunday morning belly buster. Eat here! read more

I went in this morning based off of a review that stated they had the best cheese steak in the area. Hmmmmm well it was okay for a diner for sure . Not the best but still a solid sandwich. I didn't really care for the fries or the chocolate cream pie which just tasted artificial , which is sad because it looked amazing. The service is fast and friendly the restaurant was clean and smelled lovely which is amazing for a 24 hour establishment. My sister ordered actual breakfast which looked and smelled amazing. read more

Bob & Edith's in old town is a staple. I tried something new even though I've been here many times. I tried the Breakfast sampler- which has 3 meats, eggs your way, pancakes and hash browns. I went with ham, bacon and scrapple for the meats. The scrapple tasted a bit dry (like it was frozen), but the bacon was super fresh and ham was good. The service was very fast (even though it was July 4) and the waiter checked on the table a few times and made sure we had refills. Pro tip: ALWAYS ORDER THE PANCAKES! read more

A classic American diner - good food at a reasonable price. There's a nice little barstool area, and plenty of tables and booths.

There was no wait time to be seated and we were assisted right away. I ordered a simple scramble eggs bacon and home fries to eat for breakfast. The eggs and bacon were cooked nicely. The home fries were a little burn and undercooked as the potatoes were still hard towards the middle. The staff was friendly and there were families making the place feel homey. I ordered a tuna melt to go which was placed on white bread which i found weird but the tuna melt was good. read more

You almost can't find a place like this in a location like this. Very original, very bright, very clean and nearly nostalgic. We came for the chicken fried steak - everyone who serves this serves their own version, and so does Bob and Edith's. Theirs is a good variation on the standards, with a much thicker gravy and slightly heavier breading on the steak. However, a good combo, with attentive service to boot. Worth the stop, places like this are rare and something to look for. read more

Expensive for completely mediocre food! Dishes were in "dishwasher" so some of the drinks were delayed... Restaurant is too bright & kind of scummy looking... not an authentic diner experience at all. Not recommended. read more

We visited Bob & Edith's diner on a Sunday at noon. This diner was very busy but our group of 5 (four adults, and one toddler) was able to find a table immediately. Our server, Heather, was absolutely fantastic. She went out of her way drew a "makeshift " coloring page for my granddaughter and then went and got a children's menu. Even for as busy as a restaurant was the food came out quick and was hot. The French toast and blueberry hotcakes were amazing. The country fried steak as well as corn beef hash were also delicious. You can tell their apple sauce it's made in house and it was amazing. I highly recommend visiting this location and I also hope that you get Heather as your waitress. my family and I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Loved this casual diner for breakfast. While I think they were open late night, we only visited during the morning hours and the place was packed in a good way. We were still seated immediately both times we visited and our dishes came out in a flash. Loved the waffles and pancakes here but there's really something for everyone. read more

We've eaten here twice within 24 hours. We're staying at the Hilton hotel, which is right next-door. This is the cleanest diner I think I've ever been in. As I speak, there are three employees sweeping and mopping the floor. Even the bathrooms are spic and span. I had a ham and cheese omelette with hashbrowns and toast, which was OK although not the best I've ever had. The cheese seemed like it was velveta or similar. My wife had biscuits and gravy with a side of fruit. The fruit was bananas and blueberries but not super fresh. The biscuits and gravy were not as hot as it could've been nor did we really care for the taste of the gravy. The biscuits were not very thick and seemed pre-made (commercial.) During my second visit here I had a chocolate milkshake that was very good. We also shared a hot turkey and gravy open face meal that came with really good mashed potatoes and gravy and a side of mixed vegetables. The turkey was sliced and then seemed as if it was put on the griddle. It was good. The mixed vegetables had zucchini, carrots, broccoli, but the taste of the vegetables was of overpowered by some sort of a seasoning. The Diner is right near the metro station on King Street and it's a very convenient location if you were staying at either the Hilton or the Wyndham. It's open 24 hours a day and is very clean and the service is good. read more

We were on a family vacation and looking for a breakfast place for our last day. We found Bob & Edith's Diner and read some so so reviews, but thought we'd try it. We spent the entire meal wondering why anyone would leave negative reviews. We had an exceptional experience. The server was a young man (I can't remember his name) that was incredible at remembering our refills, etc. The food and service was very good. read more

Great little diner near our Hilton hotel. Was perfect stop for late night snack and breakfast in the morning.

So ... when the place is crowded just forget it. They are understaffed and can't keep up with the dining room size. So the food.... Well I've tried several things now and none of it was great. It wasn't "send it back" bad but it was close a couple times. So why do I keep going back? They are open 24 hours... and when you need food .... And you might be a little intoxicated.... Well, any port in a storm right? read more

On a recent visit to old town (July 2025), we were just looking for a good old-fashioned breakfast at a diner type establishment. So we stopped into Bob & Edith's. Unfortunately, quite disappointing. Service was lackluster - our server was more interested in leaning on the counter at the back surfing on his phone,so we had to wait about 12 minutes just to get coffee (yes, I timed it! ). When the food arrived, it was barely warm and ok at best. For a tab that came to almost $40 for 2 people (2 coffee, French toast with side of sausage, plus 2 eggs and scrapple (??) - nawwww won't be back. read more

I had the chili and the grilled cheese sandwich on rye with a sides of hot fries. Ambiance is a very Americana with the rock and roll music in the background.
