    Biscuit Homemade Sausage Gravy on Biscuits

    Food is delicious and the service is great very friendly cooks . Food is hot and fresh definitely making a stop back

    Classic diner right by the Kings St/Old Town Metro. Reminded me of the diners I used to go to in Jersey. Seat yourself at a booth, tables, or bar. We were able to get a booth within 2 minutes of walking in on a Saturday around 11:30am. Fairly quick service. We ordered a Patty Melt which came with fries and Two Eggs & Bacon (which came with hash browns or home fries as well as toast or English muffin). We went with homefries which are shredded with crispiness on the outside. I read other reviews and I agree it is a bit odd that they only butter one slice of toast, so you get one slice saturated in delicious butter, but the other slice is dry. Maybe they think someone will eat it like a sandwich? Overall food was good, a bit greasy. They take credit cards but charge a 3% charge to use them, so recommend cash if you have it. They also have an ATM available.

    This Bob & Edith's location is conveniently located for us, and the fact that they have a small lot in the back gives it some extra points! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day, and it's open 24 hours. Our usual orders are: +the 8 oz. Ribeye Steak dinner - comes with 2 choice sides and a roll; mashed potatoes and corn (if available) are our go-to sides with extra gravy; the roll is always stale and forgettable +their Signature Country Fried Steak - usually opt for the brown gravy; corn, potato salad, and mashed potatoes with gravy are usually the go-to sides; the country fried steak is nicely-fried with a great batter and more on the salty end I have also tried their burger, which is just okay, and wouldn't order again. The brown gravy can be inconsistent, as it could sometimes have an off/chemical-like taste to it. Prices are definitely on the higher/steep end, considering it's a diner. Service is friendly, and the space is extremely bright. There are both tables, booth, and counter seating. The place does get packed random times throughout the day/night, so there may be a bit of a wait. +Signature Country Fried Steak +inconsistent brown gravy +free parking lot in the rear

    Great food! It was busy but that didn't take away from the service. Great experience. Highly recommend

    Blueberry pancakes

    Went here for brunch early Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and we were starving so that was great. There isn't a whole lot of seating in the dining area so if you're bringing a few people with you try to come early. We parked on a garage area down the street but heard someone mention a parking lot behind the restaurant. Our waitress came out, greeted us quickly and took our orders. I ordered a daily special with blueberry pancakes, turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. It was pretty good for a breakfast spot. The French toast looked pretty good and they also have chocolate chip pancakes. Although it wasn't particularly flavorful, it got the job done and satisfied a breakfast craving. I'd recommend for a quick bite or maybe late at night if you want a diner experience outside of IHOP. I'd give this place another try and get something different.

    Busy, small place. Efficient service. Basic breakfast options are all done well. Veggie omelette, very basic, but done nicely. Potatoes served crispy as requested. They are good about keeping your coffee cup full!

    Half Smoke with fries
    Scott W.

    It's not the fanciest, but the food is consistent and you know what you'll get. I love the it's open 24/7, with free parking, and friendly staff. Inside is very well lit. Plenty of seating. To be honest, my go to is the half smoke with extra crispy fries, and they do it right. They always give me a menu but I never look at it because I know exactly what I want. My half smoke. My daughter got a waffle with blueberry compote , wife bacon and eggs, and son steak and cheese sub. We're never disappointed. Again, food is good and the quality is consistent.

    Slower service but to be fair they were completely slammed. Only taking a star off because they don't have a good system for making sure everyone at a table gets all of their food. Pancakes were great and bacon was perfect!!!

    I love Bob & Edith's Diner! It's VA's version of Waffle House in my opinion. For this visit I had the burger and fries. It was cooked well and the fries came out hot. The service is always quick and good. I took two girlfriend's with me and they enjoyed their meals as well! I really like the Crystal City location because they have free parking in the back.

    Tourist spot!!! Service was excellent. Food was basic diner food nothing over the top. Dining area was pretty clean. Location is walking distance from the airport hotels... which is very convenient.

    Counter seats

    There is something special about an old fashioned diner. I don't know if its the bright lights, chrome furniture or the swivel seats at the counter, or the food deep fried or cooked on a flat top grill, but I love it. I ordered a tuna melt (not fancy but really tasty) and onion rings while my friend had a chicken sandwich and fries. The onion rings were thick cut but breaded, which were ok but I personally prefer battered. We split a piece of snickers pie, which was really good. Service was odd. He stood by the counter and seemed to be looking at us, but never came over to clear our plates and we finally went to him to ask about pie and again when we were ready to pay our bill.

    Cheeseburger Omelet
    Kenneth K.

    Came here for brunch with my dad, my wife, and my best friend before my dad's flight out of DCA on Juneteenth. My dad was nice to treat me and my wife for hosting him and my friend for driving him when the red line was closed and the shuttle that would have provided a faster shortcut downtown was closed due to the federal holiday. There was a wait inside despite decent seating, so we opted to go to the patio. Our first waitress came and took our coffee order but it was over 30 minutes without anyone returning to our table so my father went inside to talk to the manager. We had a second waitress who did not know who was serving our table before nor the manager. The service was faster but the second waitress still was forgetting to bring enough cream for my dad's coffee. The food was really good and fresh. Better than expected and definitely for the low prices for food anywhere inside the beltway. My wife and I shared Fresh Blueberry Hotcakes and a Cheeseburger Omelet. If we return to this location or others we will for sure not be in a hurry to get anywhere due to the inexcusable slow service our first time.

    PANCAKES!

With an impressively high Yelp rating, I was disappointed to hear the new owners say the glowing reviews are from the previous owner (though I respect the honesty). Despite that, we really enjoyed our visit. The new owners live up to the legacy. First of all, the service is excellent. An older man makes the food and who I assume is his daughter takes the orders. Both are kind. At the end, she gave my daughter a granola bar for free. The menu is a mix of Korean food and the small market in the back sells Korean products and more. It's very fun to browse and pick up some snacks and treats. My daughter loved the juicy grape fruit snacks. To eat, we ordered the Japanese curry and milk tea. Both were full of flavor and made with love. "This is my new favorite meal of all time," said my daughter. She devoured the bowl herself! There's a small parking lot in front of the cafe. It's within walking distance from the Crystal City Metro.

Who knew that there would be a cafe in Pentagon City with this option? The interior is a bit cramped with many cardboard boxes piling up. We were able to order the food at the counter and waited about 5-10 minutes before the food was ready. BRAISED PORK OVER RICE (卤肉饭) - 15.49 Lots of rice, more rice than I could finish with the amount of braised pork belly they give. The pork was very fatty, which made it tasty and juicy, but it wasn't very saucy. There were two halves of a bokchoy and half of an incredibly boiled egg, which was meh. Still, I finished all the toppings and maybe a little less than half of the rice. I was full, but $15.49 for the food was not worth it. Overall, 3.5/5 but bump it to a 4/5 since there's a scarcity of food like this in the area. They sell other comfort Asian dishes too, like coconut chicken cutlet rice and Japanese eel rice.

But I would think they would have some heads up on conferences in the area just due to their location. Anyways, I bee-lined it here during lunch break to get a sandwich, with only one person in front of me at the counter. I had the ribeye cheese with added onions, peppers, and mushrooms (a $2.00 upcharge), and was told to have a seat and they would bring me the food since I was going to eat in the building lobby where this location is. And right after I ordered groups from the conference started coming in and soon enough the line was 15-20 people. At the end of that line were two co-workers that found this place by getting lost. They (co-workers) took over 20 minutes before they were even able to make it to the counter to order their food, chili and another ribeye cheesesteak sandwich with fries. After they placed their order, I looked inside and realized they were overwhelmed and were probably not going to bring out my sandwich so I went to the pick up area to ask the status of my sandwich. The panic behind the counter was telling me they lost my order. And they had me wait at the counter for my sandwich an additional 4-5 minutes. When I got back to the table I realized that all I got was the ribeye cheese sandwich with shredded iceberg lettuce, no peppers, no onions, no mushrooms. I wanted to go back, but with the panic behind the counter I said I am just glad I got something to eat. The sandwich was good, not bad, with a nice toast on the hoagie bread. About 10 minutes after I got my food, my co-workers got their food and the person that ordered the chili was very disappointed, they said they have had better chili and Wendy's. My other co-worker agreed that the ribeye cheese sandwich was not bad, but the fries were flavorless, like they were not salted. Anyways, maybe management could take initiative in finding out what conferences are occurring in the immediate area and be prepared that first day, because you only have one chance to make a first impression. I am not likely to return to this establishment due to the incorrect order and the slow service. I wish them much success.

It has that perfect "neighborhood staple" feel where the focus is clearly on the quality of the ingredients rather than unnecessary frills. I had the Metro Italian (12") which is a beast of a sandwich!! The meat-to-bread ratio is spot on, and you can tell they aren't skimping on the quality of the cold cuts. The bread has that essential crusty exterior while staying soft enough to soak up the oil and vinegar without falling apart. It's a classic Italian sub done exactly the way it should be. Just good luck opening your mouth wide enough to take that first bite! You can't leave an Italian deli without a cannoli, and this one didn't disappoint. The shell was crisp (not soggy!), and the filling was rich and creamy without being overly sweet. It was the perfect finish to a heavy lunch. The shop has a great, authentic energy. It's efficient, which is a must for the Crystal City lunch rush, but they still make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time in. It's easily one of the best spots in the area for a high-quality, reliable meal. They have some tables outside for the nicer days I think the 12" is definitely enough to share if you aren't starving--or just save the other half for a "Round 2" dinner, you won't regret it!
