The place is 24/7 and it is a big plus for those who can't find anything around Springfield when it's late. When it's late night, it can be kind of rough when it's packed with people coming from the bar next door or just a sudden group of hungry people wanting their breakfast fix. Like any breakfast places, it's quick, it's cheap, and affordable at a reasonable price. I went with what was comfort for me; Country Fried Steak with Scrambled Eggs and Hash Browns with White Toast. The sausage gravy that the used on the Country Fried Steak? It elevates it to a whole new level. Eggs tasted buttery, and Hash Browns crispy with a nice side of grease coming to it. I can't really complain because this is something I eat once in a while but it's my guilty pleasure. Overall, you can't go wrong with Bob & Edith's. They are just open at any time and you are rest assured that your breakfast will be good as mine.

Soon as you walk in through the revolving door, you are greeted with a wood fire grill aroma that makes your sense of smell scream omg what is that and I'll take 2 please.

I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

For example, yesterday, I had their Peter's Special, a sandwich made from 1/2 lb of pastrami and 1/2 lb of corned beef. Except that it's not "a" sandwich, but three, all on delicious rye bread, each with its own pickle, and a small helping of slaw, sauerkraut, and a major pile of salad. It was my lunch yesterday; the remaining two sandwiches are my lunch today and tomorrow. That's three meals for $30, which, to me, is a reasonable price. The problem was that the more they do to create the food, the less flavorful it is. For example, on another recent visit, I had their Country Style Omelet. Again, it was huge and contained everything that goes into a great omelet. Except, there wasn't a lot of flavor. And that seems to be the theme. I grabbed a slice of their 24-layer cake and, again, big but not much taste beyond sweetness. If you crave a lot of food, then this might be the spot for you. However, if you prefer less and more, smaller portions with better, more nuanced flavor, then maybe try one of the other nearby restaurants.

I recently visited Silver Diner on Franconia Rd in Springfield and ordered breakfast TO GO on Friday morning April 19. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by a concerning incident. While enjoying my Country Scrambler at home, I encountered a piece of broken glass 0.5 inch long x 0.25 inch wide in the meal, which was not only unexpected but also potentially hazardous. This discovery raised serious concerns about food safety and the quality control practices at Silver Diner. I urge Silver Diner's management to prioritize food safety and quality checks to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Additionally, I believe it would be prudent for the Fairfax County Health Department to conduct an inspection of Silver Diner's kitchen to ensure the safety and well-being of future customers. Please see the attached photo of the foreign object found in my meal. As a concerned customer, I hope this issue will be addressed promptly to avoid any potential harm to others. To Silver Diner management, thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

When I came here I was somewhat surprised. I must preface this review by indicating that I am accustomed to those Diners in New York where most of them are your standard "greasy spoon" joints, and they all serve the same food. This one does things a little differently and I would come back if I happen to be shopping in the area(it is within walking distance of Target, and a few other shops). They have very many healthy options on their menu and they even show the nutritional information for them. My wife enjoyed the Smokehouse Burger with a salad, for instance. But don't be put off by this; they still have all the comfort food you'd expect at a diner with some originality mixed in. I liked the country fried steak All in all, I'd say this isn't exactly the place to go for a nice night on the town, but it is a very enjoyable place to bring the kids for a quick bite after a shopping trip or a movie. They seemed a little busy as well for a Friday night, and all-in-all an alright experience. read more

Fun for breakfast. Eggs Benedict was mediocre. The hollandaise sauce was way too lemony, but the addition of the oven roasted tomatoes was nice. The bacon was some of the best I've ever had, and I'm not a huge bacon fan. I was happy to see the yogurt based pomegranate shake, but it was more banana flavored than pomegranate. I also think it would benefit from the addition of agave syrup instead of sugar. The cheesy grits were cooked perfectly and topped with grated cheddar. I personally prefer to have it mixed in with enough cheese to turn the grits orange, but that's just me. They were slightly under seasoned, so I just added a bit of salt. Voila! The service was great, our server was fantastic and had a wonderful personality. Nice restaurant atmosphere, much like a Johnny Rockets, only more of a "down home" feel. read more

The food was decent, typical diner fare. We ordered 3 burgers, 2 salads, loaded fries, and 5 sodas - all standard cheap, mediocre diner choices. However, I couldn't wrap my head around the nearly $200 bill for this meal. A small plate of fries with a smattering of cheese and a few bacon bits was labeled as "loaded fries" and priced at $13. It was the saddest excuse for loaded fries I've ever encountered. While this place used to be fine a couple of years ago, the current prices are simply outrageous. To make matters worse, the tipping options were limited to 20%, 25%, or 30%. Despite feeling that the service didn't warrant it, I reluctantly added on an extra $25 tip. The food left me unsatisfied and frustrated at the exorbitant cost. read more

I visited this establishment this morning with my family to celebrate Father's Day and have some feedback. I ordered the Caramel French Toast, scrambled eggs, and chicken sausage. While our server was polite, it was apparent he was overwhelmed. He took our order, but we didn't see him again until we paid the bill. My meal was decent, but I didn't receive the caramel for my French toast, which was disappointing. Despite that, the meal itself was good. The ambiance was understandably crowded due to Father's Day, but I expect to receive everything that comes with my order, especially on a quieter day. I hope to have a more complete experience next time. read more

Our server had picked up the phone and apparently was the manager of the shift. We had let him know what had happened. Instead of offering to fix the mistake or even ask us to bring it back in (which we would've if he had asked us to), he decided to explain to my mother the terms of medium-rare and how it is "crudo", but medium-rare in spanish is medio crudo. He then, told us to google it if we wanted to know what medium rare is, like we haven't dined in at a restaurant and ordered steak medium rare before.
