"1st time in at little after 11pm… order 2 hot ham n cheeses with a mashed potato n gravy n potato salad..soooo good! Staff was pleasant .. read the other reviews but we had no issues n will def be back !……. Ok*Update! 2nd night .. we had to come back … 9:30pm.. got the double bacon cheeseburger specials with fries and potato salad for 12.95. Pic doesn’t do it justice but the burgers are huge and taste great! Another night of friendly staff and great food!

"Family friendly restaurant that serves your traditional American breakfast. The food and service was great and we had a great time. They offer free parking, with additional paid street parking and a public lot located just behind the restaurant. It is located within a few minutes of the airport so its the perfect stop before or after a flight."

"We had a nice experience at Bob & Edith's in Old Town Alexandria. Our server was attentive and cheerful. My breakfast was better than my expectations. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hash browns were the best I have had in awhile. My wife thought her french toast was great. Little touches that other places are only fair at delivering were done well there, like perfectly toasted wheat bread and bacon that was crispy but not overdone. The prices were reasonable, too. Give it a try"

"A great 24/7 diner! Nothing too fancy on the menu, but sometimes you don't want fancy. The steak and cheese sub as well as the country fried steak and cheese were both very good! First time I was there they were short staffed and a large group came in, but the young man tried his best to keep up. I wasn't in a hurry so it was fine. Second time everything was smooth."

"OK, we read the reviews, and ITS A DINER!!! Don't expect an unforgettable meal, and a show...it's a diner. We did the "Famous" Chicken Fried Steak, with two eggs and potatoes. It was the perfect comfort food needed after a long day of site seeing. Our server was very nice, and attentive. The food was flavorful and we enjoyed it. They need to update things a bit, but it's a 50s style diner...enjoy yourself."

"Stopped by for breakfast before spending the day exploring and would recommend. The food was good, prices were affordable, and there was no wait for a table. If you're looking for a quintessential diner experience for a meal then I definitely recommend Bob & Edith's."

"I’ve visited the US many times for work but I’ve never really sat down in a diner. You don’t see places like this in Australia. I’d read about them in novels and seen scenes on TV and movies. I was staying up the road and here for work, so on my last morning I wanted something substantial in my belly. I went for the signature country fried steak with brown gravy, hash brown, and eggs. I’ve never had coffee served in a mug which was so thick. It took a little getting used to. The meal and coffee were delicious. I loved it. It’s on a par with the fancy food you get from cafés in Australia. I feel full and I feel happy. The wait staff were very friendly and cheery. The food arrived quickly and it was hot and cooked well. I enjoyed myself. If I have to come to this area to work again, I’ll try to eat here again and try some of the other breakfast offerings."
