| - It's opening day at Bob's in Castle Shannon and everything was great as expected for this local chain. They had been teasing the area with a huge sign by route 88, but it's finally ready! I suppose this is a four star diner, if that's a thing. The N family are strong patrons.
This Bob's is most similar to the location in Carnegie as far as the service and food, but with brand new decor and a few extra parking spaces. The only tiff I had was with the bathroom which was not touched from the take over of the failed Greek joint, but who says you can have it all. The place is actually set up a little odd with scattered booths and the full counter in the back corner. It took a few tries to find the correct entrance as well.
Even though Bob's is for breakfast, we came for early dinner, which means soup and sandwiches in my book. Luckily, one if the soups today was chicken rice which was more of a paste (in a good way?) and crazy filling. The turkey is thick, bread still from Mancini's. Add the house made Italian dressing on fresh greens and I am set. I don't want to act like this is the best food I've ever had, but I was definitely satisfied. I do wish they made their own chips, especially considering they're the standard side.
It's a great diner. Easy, not greasy, clean, friendly. And of course Bob himself was in for opening day! It's hard to not want to support him. Especially when you can end your meal with coconut cloud cake from neighbor Signature Desserts. Overall classic and simple, exactly the way it should be.
