    My husband and I have been here on several occassions, whether individually w our friends and coworkers, or together. This morning was busy before church but the staff was as calm and frindly as usual, and the food was delicious! They have the fluffiest omelets, and everything came out so quickly.

    I was craving an old school diner, and drove to Bob's. It's been a few years, but it was well worth the trip.

    So my bill came out to be $39 and change for a Belgian waffle and a omelette with sausage and bacon in it. I was charged $4 for sausage and $4 for bacon which is full price for a side and it was hardly 1 full sausage patty and 1 strip of not full cooked bacon…i will never eat here again.

    not many good diners like bobs around anymore, and bobs does it perfectly. food is always delicious, comes out fast, and reasonably priced. service is great and everyone who works there is very friendly. the interior is cozy and remains largely unchanged since the 40s (in the best possible way). bobs is an absolute gem!
