Bob’s Diner

Bob’s diner is located here in Upper St Clair is the 4^th location for this diner. I decided to stop over here en route home and try it out. Since it was a little after noon there was plenty of parking even though their lot is small. I entered and was told just to seat myself. They serve breakfast all day but I was in the mood for lunch but nothing overwhelming.
I noticed the menu has a special where you can order half a sandwich (limited choices on this sandwich) and pair it with either a cup of soup or small salad for $ 6.95. I decided to opt for that one and ordered roast turkey with lettuce and tomato. Got the food in a jiffy. I was amazed at the size of my order! The salad was more than enough for me and the half sandwich was big and came with chips. They were both very good. The turkey tasted fresh!
I was looking in their dessert fridge and saw they had very little to offer. My waitress told me they don’t get that much in at this time of year but they expect more tomorrow. All their desserts come from Signature desserts in Castle Shannon. I also learned that Jan-​Mar is their slow season but they will pick up more business once winter is over.
They have daily specials on the chalkboard. I was pleased with my meal and definitely will return. She gave me a takeout menu. As I looked it over I can see why it gets so crowded in the morning. They offer M-​F weekday breakfast special until 10 AM. This special consists of two eggs, choice of bacon, sausage or ham with toast for $ 5.95. Prices are very reasonable for breakfast regardless and I noticed the sell a lot of things made with Mancini’s bread. They even have a kids menu which they encourage only for those 10 and younger.
They offer both hot and cold sandwiches, as well as burgers, and dinner entrees. I saw some people as I was leaving eating pancakes and other breakfast items so that’s what I will try on my next visit. The menu is comprehensive so there is much to choose from. They do catering as well.

I’m sure that people who want to pig out like this place. However, if you wanted to choose a healthy option, e.g., egg whites, don’t be surprised if it’s dripping with butter. Probably ¼ a stick with every meal.

My Fav place for a meal! Thinking of this place I’m drooling! I had Eggs Bendict! Oh man! Their eggs were huge like extra large! And their ham on it is theirs smoked! And the sauce was great it wasn’t a cheese sauce but the sauce used I don’t know name its French. Big English muffins toasted crispy& buttered! Come here w big appetites! I can say this and their corned beef has w poached eggs are off the wall delish. I’m in a wheelchair and they have a ramp to get in it! I can’t wait to go again! we ate brunch last Friday and
Has Poached Eggs on Corned beef hash big platter w Italian Mancini toast! Their home fries taste buttery crispy brown! I ate every bite and it was a lot that My next meal was next day! I was that full! Sooo good W their pancakes! Forget IHops come here for fresh pancakes big as plates! Try it!

I don’t usually give 5 stars, but Bob’s deserves it for serving such a fantastic breakfast. I haven’t had a breakfast this good since California. California diners are great with the little things, and so is Bob’s. As an example, the slice of orange served with my egg breakfast.
My scrambled eggs were actually scrambled and fluffy. So good!
The pancake was also the best I have had in years.
I just saw on the news that they will soon be making their own donuts. Can’t wait to try those!

Almost no parking available for how many tables they serve. My philly cheese steak sandwhich was fatty steak, and ended up having some ham inside it. The monte cristo was soggy and soaked in oil and made on French toast. The garden salad was old limp brown lettuce. The grilled cheese has fake Kraft cheese on it. The only good to our trip was our waitress was extremely nice. Very poor dining experience. Do not recommend.

Went for breakfast with a guest. The place was quite full, got a table and server came quickly. She was great, had a sense of humor. The coffee at their place is very nice. The service wonderful, plenty of quantity and of good quality as well. I would come here again.

Terrific breakfast spot. The food is good and the service better. {Ask for Janet.} I love all of Bob’s fabulous diners, but this one is particularly special. Very warm. Cozy. Unpretentious. Lifted from a Richard Russo novel.

I had a chance to eat here twice during an extended business trip to the area. I was able to be here for dinner only and had the country fried steak and mashed potatoes with a side of vegetables — broccoli the first time and carrots the second time. I had a choice of white or brown gravy and took the brown gravy both times.
The steak was tender with a nice crunchy coating, and the potatoes were decent. The carrots were really good and went well with the potatoes and gravy, like a version of a pot roast dinner (which they also offer).
The service was friendly, and the food came out of the kitchen pretty quickly. My only is not getting here on a Tuesday night to try the turkey dinner special. Otherwise, I would eat here again

Best breakfast in town! We used to be regulars at Pamela’s and now have switched to bobs, the service is great, everyone who works here is extremely kind and friendly. Not only that but bob himself regularly walks around talking to the customers which shows how much he really cares. The food is amazing too! The banana stuffed French toast can’t be beat! Definitely check it out!

I had a chance to stop here last night after work, (It’s right down the street from me)
I thought this place was very good. I ordered the «Special» and was very impressed.
Pot Roast was very good and fresh. lotsa potatoes and carrots. Prices were what I expected to pay. The staff was extreeeeemly friendly & fast. I give Bob’s 5 stars.
You people are way too tough on many of these small places. Seriously, if the parking lot is a big issue with you, your not focused on the big picture !
Park down the street and walk your lazy ass to the front door !
We NEED to keep places like this going, or we will be stuck with Denny’s on every street corner. Bob’s is going to be one of my new places to eat.

We arrived about 930 on a Saturday. Don’t let the parking lot mislead you. We had no problem getting a table (you will wait for a both though). The waitress in our section was a little busy with a large party so the hostess brought over coffees and menus while we waited. The menu is vast. My husband got the Bountiful Breakfast and I chose My Dad’s Favorite. The only complaint was that my husband’s eggs were over easy and he ordered over medium well. So they were a little runnier than he usually likes. Other than that, great breakfast. Well worth it!

We had a leak coming from our roof and it caused a lot of damage. But Kevin and his team provided an affordable quote that beat the other two I had gotten. He also had a crew that was very experienced and knew exactly what needed to be done. They had all of the tools, trucks and equipment that was needed. Now my roof looks like new and no longer have any leaks even under heavy storms. Would recommend them if you need a dependable and affordable roofing contractor that will stand behind their work!

If you’re in the neighborhood, an OK place to grab a bite. However, I wouldn’t make a special trip. Friendly (but not particularly fast or attentive) staff, and a teeny-​tiny parking lot. If you make the trip, I wouldn’t order the home fries. Saying that they are under whelming is the nicest way to put it. The prices are comparable to better diners. It’s great to have a neighborhood spot, but I just wish when we return it was because it was awesome and not just because it’s close.

So the parking lot is far too small for their needs but other than that, this place was great.
This place was packed first thing on a Sunday morning yet the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the Big Burrito, which was tasty. I opted for My Dad’s Favorite, which included a bit everything. Everything was yummy and my over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. But the home fries and pancake were incredible. The crust on the potatoes were perfection and very rarely can places achieve that perfect combination of crunchy outside but tender inside. And the Cookies and Cream pancake, which spanned the size of an entire dinner plate, was fluffy and just the right amount of sweet to wrap up the meal.
I do want to make it a point to again reiterate how pleasant the staff was because I think it set this experience over the top. Our server, Sammi (I believe) was so genuinely nice throughout our meal despite how hectic I’m sure her morning was going. Honestly, I’m excited to come back to the area sooner rather than later just to dine here.

My husband and I went to the new Bob’s diner on grove rd today. The service was awesome, the food was so good. I had the stuffed cabbage rolls and homemade mashed potatoes. I thought I was back in my mothers kitchen eating her food. My husband had the fish sandwich and was very pleased. The other thing I noticed was how the staff all helped each other and so very pleasant. Our waitress Angel was just that, so sweet and attentive. Definitely going to be our new place to eat. You wont be sorry!!!

Delicious breakfast! I had the banana stuffed french toast with a side of eggs over medium and corned beef hash.
The banana stuffed french toast was absolutely out of this world! Made with Mancinis bread, it was buttery and delicious … Not soggy, cooked perfectly. The corned beef hash has green peppers and onions and it adds an incredible flavor!
The coffee was smooth and delicious ground in house and the Orange juice is fresh… What more could you ask for?!
The staff was very friendly too! This experience was the first on many more to come!

My wife and I went there for breakfast after I have drove past several times. Parking was crazy, lot was full. But the food was AWESOME! I had steak & eggs, s but go to meal for the morning.
3 Eggs and a perfect steak! Very friendly service and a lot of room inside, just had to park a little away, not that big of a deal.

Yikes, Bob’s is getting a really bum rap, his small circle of neo-​canteens finally expanding into the South Hills. We’d been to the his outpost in Kennedy Township some time ago, and when we found out that one recently sprouted in Upper Saint Clair, well, we knew had a trip ahead of us.
For breakfast that chilly Saturday morning, I honestly enjoyed the Big Burrito, finding it generously appointed, the grilled flour tortilla bulging radiantly with eggs, homefries, onions, green peppers, and my choice of bacon, warm salsa, cheddar, and sour cream coming close to turning it into an enchilada, and damn was this knife-​and-​fork material. The scrambled eggs were velvety, the homefries deftly seasoned and al dente, the vegetables lovingly caramelized, adding sweetness to contrast the tang of the sour cream and salsa and sharpness of the cheddar. Hearty as a 3 course meal, I barely had enough room left for the Oreo Pancakes.
And yes, I will continue to trumpet the cause: Breakfast pancakes are dessert. Lunches and dinners have sweet endings. Why not breakfast?
These were fairly standard griddlecakes with some Oreo crumbles on them, the commercially made cookies being but an afterthought, and that would be my only complaint. I would have thought that the batter would have been infused with Oreo crumbs, but that was not the case here. Despite my mild disappointment, the flapjacks were properly fluffy and were topped with powdered sugar. Of course, warm maple syrup and butter were served alongside the golden stack.
We had no issues with the service or the seating. Even «Bob» himself was on hand to greet us and seat us, his personality proving to be as sunny as the décor.
From what I was tastin’, Bob’s fledgling empire of checkerboard-​tiled luncheonettes is well on its way to competing with Pamela’s and DeLuca’s for diner supremacy. Dismiss the savaging. Give Bob a chance.
P. S. The parking lot is a bit small, so be mindful of that.
P. P. S. We were told that the cakes and pies come from Castle Shannon’s Signature Desserts.

Parking is narrow, as another Unilocaler previously wrote. The raisin French Toast was awesome according to
My daughter. My omelette consisted of burnt eggs. The coffee was warm, not hot. My husband gets the breakfast sandwich with ham, always, and the ham was like lunch meat, not the thick ham served at the Carnegie location. The inside is nice and new, but the food is much less to be desired. We will be going back to the Carnegie location from now on.

The parking lot is a mess for starters. We had to wait for a seat but that’s expected on a Sunday morning. We were then seated at a table in the very back directly across from the bathrooms… appetizing! In all fairness she asked if that was ok but we were hungry and had our infant with us so we said ok– the point here is that there shouldn’t be a table there to begin with!
Took 10 min to get greeted and 20 min for our food. Although busy, the allure of a diner is the quick service and cheap prices– which were NOT cheap! It was nearly $ 9 for an omelet with any cheese and 2 choices of veggies or meat. Each additional option was 50 cents. If you wanted a western it was nearly $ 10! I think this is a lot compare to other diners like Toms in dormont.
After waiting for what felt like forever, the food was really good. The turkey sausage was really salty though and they only gave a tiny cup of syrup for the pancake, which was luke warm.
We might try this one more time but not for a while. Let them work out the kinks!
