So I recently put together a snowboarding trip to Stratton Mountain with a crew. We had a blast but eventually we had to head back to the city. While heading back I saw my favorite place for breakfast! Bob's Diner! I had some eggs, potatoes, toast and a pancake which was all delicious. The crew had a breakfast burrito, sunny side up eggs, eggs Benedict and more. In the end everyone enjoyed their breakfast. The prices are very reasonable too. In the end the food was fantastic, service was fabulous and as far as ambiance, it had a great vibe. It's like you're back in time at the soda shop! Has this throwback vibe that I just love! So if you're in the Vermont area check this spot out. I'm sure you'll enjoy your meal and have a great time! read more

The only reason for not having 5 stars was a very loud noise level from both a large group of teens, polite but loud, and the grill exhaust. Otherwise, our bacon cheddar burgers were great and service was fast and friendly. read more

Busy spot. Tight seating. Worth it! Solid prices, tasty eats and friendly service. Loved their skillet. Good specials. Coffee was strong enough. read more

Best breakfast! Well worth the drive from Stratton mtn. It was busy but we were seated quickly and people were in and out quickly. It was bustling and had the old-diner feel. I got the farmer bobs skillet and let me tell you it was delicious ! Not greasy and all and it was so tasty. It was cool to watch the line cooks hammer away at the orders. They had a great system and seemed to communicate well. It was probably the best food I ate my whole weekend in VT. read more

Great original diner! The food was prepared perfectly and the service was quick and our waitress was super nice! We ordered the Turkey Rueben, BLT Club and the Cheddar Bacon Burger. All three were delicious! If you're a diner fan, I recommend a visit to Bob's!! read more

It's the quintessential diner experience. Cheap, local homemade ingredients and kitchy decorations. Worth a visit! The corn beef hash is a standout and made locally with nice stringy pieces of beef. read more

The worst breakfast I have ever had. I ordered a sausage, bacon and cheese omelet. The sausage was not a breakfast sausage and was very large chunks and very minute pieces of bacon. I have never had an omelet that the meat and cheese was NOT cooked in the egg. The egg was cooked alone and about 1/2 " thick. It was piled on top of the sausage and bacon. I really couldn't find the cheese. Our waitress left and we had difficulty getting our check so that we could pay and leave. I don't normally have a problem with breakfast and i was very dissatisfied. The parking lot was packed and was hopeful that it was a good place to eat. I was sooooo wrong! read more

Great classic diner.. you know it's good when they stay busy all morning.. the service was fluid and attentive.

Food was excellent and service perfect best turkey club I ve had in years, the corn beef hash was especially tasty

We definitely make the pilgrimage up to Manchester for Bob's breakfast! Still hands down one of the best hash and eggs I have ever had! We exclusively eat at Bobs whenever we are in Manchester and it's the only time I will eat hash and eggs. I refuse to eat this dish anywhere else! The service is also amazing. The servers remember you and will give you what you want without asking! They even know I take hot water and lemon in the mornings. Really amazing spot. Bobs is the best! read more

Cute place, old school style diner, friendly staff. Food came out quickly. Server never came back to check on us, which was fine as it was busy, but I ordered soup and never got it. Wasn't able to tell her because she never came to check on us. Food was really good though. You do get charged extra for real maple syrup when ordering pancakes. read more

Do yourselves a favor and skip Bob's Diner entirely. Drive the extra few minutes to a McDonald's -- you'll get better service, hotter food, and avoid the appallingly rude and dismissive treatment that taints this place. We were a large group with six of being minorities, and the experience felt blatantly discriminatory from the start. While other tables were provided proper table settings -- silverware, regular cups, and napkins -- we were singled out and given paper cups and no napkins until one of our drinks spilled. The waitress who took our order was openly curt and dismissive, making us hesitant to ask for simple accommodations like: more coffee, water, side dishes that were forgotten, etc. Our bad experience didn't stop there. Parties who arrived after us received their meals first, while we waited over an hour for our food. When it finally came out, only two plates were hot, but the rest were room temperature. For the price they charge, you'd expect at least the basics of quality and courtesy. If you value decent food, reasonable service, or being treated like a human being, go somewhere -- anywhere -- else. read more

Great little diner, can get very busy on the weekends, especially in winter due to it's close proximity to Stratton mountain and Bromley mountain ski areas, so get there earlier to get a good table, I had the Farmer bob's skillet and it was delicious, very filling too. Service was fast, not the fastest for a diner but still quick, overall great experience. read more

I went for lunch with my friends and we loved every bite!!! I got the green jean plate and my friends got the Ruben, sweet potato fries, the gold burger, and I got a coffee to go. read more

We found Bob's Diner on our trip to Stratton, VT. We took our 2 young children and had the best breakfast! Our kids had pancakes, my husband had a vegetable skillet, and I had a western omelette. The food came out quickly and was so good! The coffee was great too! We loved this hidden gem! read more

It's so refreshing to have some hot delicious diner food compared to the overpriced and bland food options from the Stratton Mountain village. Like a classic diner, get your coffee that comes with free hot refills. The green jean skillet tastes delicious with over easy eggs topped with hot sauce with a side order of ham. It was enough to fill me up with left overs. The pancakes and waffles are extra special if you like Vermont maple syrup (extra $2 charge) otherwise they are very much classic breakfast food. French toast tasted how it should. The waitress was very friendly as well as this nice elderly gentleman who came around ensuring we got refills on our coffee so we never had an empty cup even though they had a full house. Coming back again! read more

This is an old school diner off the main route in Manchester. It took a while to place our order but was a reasonable time to get the food. I got the Carol's club substituted with wheat bread and onion rings and this meal hit the spot for me. The only downside is their hours it's not 24/7 but still worth the effort to try! read more

Came with a party of 7. First, we did not receive any napkins and were told to arrange our own cutlery. Then, we waited half an hour for our food which arrived cold. Our server forgot two of our side dishes. Once we began eating, our server also did not know once ask us how the food was. She also did not check up on our drinks. We did not receive refills unless we asked, and even when we asked, she was either slow or forgot us altogether. The servers do not look happy, and their unhappiness is reflected in their service. I will not be coming back. read more

Very nice diner / restaurant with very good service. Really enjoyed our breakfast stop there.

It was Mother's Day, so they were slammed! Didn't have to wait long though, staff was on their game! My omelette was great and right on time! Excellent coffee. A great diner experience! read more

The epitome of a great diner! Grab a chilled glass beer and enjoy this food coma you're about to enter. To start.... We split the Chili. It was truly INSANE!!! We got the "works". So so so good!!! Whole beans, whole avocado, good amount of sour cream, great meat. Next to being made by your grandmother, this is top notch on a "chili" day (pun intended ) ooey-gooey goodness! They serve alcohol too which made our mountain lunch fabulous with a local beer! Not spicy - which was great for me! For our lunch I got the avocado toast with sunny side egg & hollandaise sauce, spinach & tomato. My husband got the Beefalo burger with cheese and bacon. Brenda was fabulous!! ALL OF THE SERVERS ARE SO SO FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE!! it's Christmas eve and I bet they want to be home but we're truly top notch! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Diner 2.0. Looks like a diner, but has thoughtful updates that makes it much more. Foods were way above average. Bob's skillet. Yes. Enthusiastic and personable high school seniors ferry fresh eggs and enormous pancakes to your table with minimal delay (no delay is unusual in Vermont). Cool but not too cool music plays in the background. The coffee is pretty good. The look of the place has been updated; it doesn't trade on 1950s diner nostalgia; it just want to be an awesome place to grab breakfast. And succeeds. read more

Diner grease smell & sticky floors. Sign post wait for hostess to be seat yet waitress grabbed us & put in awkward 2 top. We requested one of 4 small Both available. Waitress said she got all the tables. We ordered our food . Next table seated by hostess was in one of 4 available booths. We asked nicely again. Waitress said no but I'll get you another waitress. We left. With out getting our food ............... read more

I'm a New Yorker and we love coming to VT every 4th of July. I came here w my family after 4 wonderful days of good food and awesome people, and this was by far one of the rudest staff I've ever encountered, including NY restaurants. We walked in and stood by the door for a good 5 min before we were acknowledged. We were told to wait while they "cleaned" (picked up plates and passed a dry napkin across ) a booth next to us. A couple quickly took the booth. Ooook. Let's be nice, we're on vacation. So then we watch them "clean" 2 others booths. I mention we are happy to take whichever one is available first. The woman, without looking at me, just walks past and says "sit wherever you want, I don't care". If we weren't w 2 littles, we would have walked out sooner, but they were hungry and we were driving home. I recommend you drive past this place as it will dampen your VT experience. read more

Skillet. Fuel. Affordable. Pleasant people. Bob's Diner makes ya laugh and cry at the same time. Powerful sustenance for the hardcore skier.

This is my favorite diner ever! The staff here is so friendly and the food and vibes are great. My friends and I have stopped by this diner every time on our way back home from Vermont. This is a busy diner so expect a short wait for Sunday brunch. I will definitely be stopping by if I'm ever in town again! read more

Great location coming out of Merck forest overnight in rustic cabin with a great stove that burned firewood provided. Great breakfast.

We arrived right before they were wrapping up to close. My husband still wanted breakfast. He ate a skillet breakfast which he said was excellent. I ordered the vegan burrito- it was also excellent- hot,packed with flavor and the wrap was crisped up on the griddle! I was very impressed watching "everyone" which had their tasks to close, and their clean up was top notch. Look forward to our next visit! Highly recommend! read more

Best diner and diner food we ever had. The BLT and fish and chips were fantastic. There was no skimping on anything in the BLT and everything was fresh and delicious.
