Bob’s Diner

Always sit in Dawn’s section! She is amazing and friendly. My 10 year old loves to tell her «I’ll have the usual».

I love this place. GREAT breakfast food at a GREAT price. The waitstaff is fast and friendly. Bob’s reminds me of the time you could expect wonderful service and wonderful food from your locally owned diner. I go here often, you should too, and don’t forget to tip well!

This is another one of those «epitome of a diner stereotype places». Cheap, greasy food, and full of regulars.
Both the hostess and server were pleasant, and our food came out pretty quick. I ordered a cup coffee mid-​meal, and was shocked when it got delivered to our table pretty much instantly. When it came time to pay, we didn’t have to wait for the bill either.
I knew going in to expect greasy food, but my meal seemed to be a little bit over the top. My friend got what was supposed to be «fresh» blueberry pancakes, they came over and didn’t really appear to be that way. They were tasty though.
It was also cool seeing the waitress flit around and talk to people like they were old friends, asking how their weekends were and such. I also saw, on more than one occasion, her bring over drinks and the paper to a woman the instant that she sat down. It’s really nice to see businesses that truly seem to appreciate their customers and get to know them.
If you’re looking for a cheap meal and a comfortable, casual atmosphere, this is the place to go.

Dark windows made the place look closed. Great food at this hidden diner. Wait staff made the experience great.

The atmosphere is quite dull. Dull lights.
The food is not checked for quality. Frozen meat and fries are used.
Pancakes were raw when served.
I would not recommend this place.

Been patronizing Bob’s for 6 years. Bob’s is exactly what it is: a small diner in a small suburb of a medium-​sized city in upstate NY. And doesn’t it do a great job of it!
Food is diner food. It’s cooked fast, to order, and good. Prices are reasonable and it’s so nice to have a stand-​alone alternative to chain diners.
The staff makes the place. The waitresses, cooks, and bussers have character, and are friendly. Come a few times and you’ll know each others’ names. Casual conversations are wont to arise. In short, a «small town diner experience». No waiting, too.
If you haven’t been, try it, you’ll like it!

My Mom and Stepfather order takeout from Bob’s Diner on a fairly regular basis. As a result, I have had several Bob’s meals.
There biggest appeal is probably their reasonable pricing. The food is expected diner quality, at average to larger portions.
The staff is patient and seasoned, answering any and all questions with little fuss.
The Friday Fish Fry is quite tasty, as well their hamburger. I tried their prime rib once, and thought it adequate.
At the time of this review they only accept cash, which is a difficulty for those of us who live off plastic.
Food is prepared quickly: for pickup they are ready usually in less than ten minutes.
You will not find iphone or ipod users inside the restaurant. It caters to a more geriatric clientele.
However, it’s a locally-​owned diner, that serves traditional diner fare at good prices.
