Bob & Edith’s Diner - Hilltop Village — Restaurant in Springfield

I got to this location at 3:30AM 3/7/2025 I had checked out a hotel 3 hours prior with no where to go until 11AM so I figured I get something to eat in the meantime since it’s 24 hours. I came in sat at my table I also had my luggage with me. I was told by the server at 5AM the cameras would cut on and he would get in trouble because of me there with my suitcase because they didn’t want homeless people hanging out mind you I’m a paying guest with nowhere to put my luggage I have no car no nothing. So I found that to be odd he said if the manager does come I can explain the situation but he was gonna tell them I just came from the airport if management text him. I got my food it was good and a raspberry tea I was also charging my phone cause when I arrived at the location my phone was on 6%. The server came back to my table about an hour later and told me his mean manager was in today and if I stayed any longer he would get fired . That is crazy for me a paying guest with no where to go for the next 8 hours because supposedly he didn’t want homeless people hanging around. They need a reality check because not everyone with a suitcase is homeless I could have had a long trip back home and wanted to get something to eat and relax but you’re denying me the freedom to stay longer at a 24 hour restaurant is absurd and by the way I stay in hotels so I can have shelter because I have been homeless for over 2 years to be told this hurts me. All I wanted was a nice meal and to stay out the freezing cold until I was able to get checked in my hotel room which I spent my last on to keep me from sleeping outside and also to get a meal at this location there was nowhere for me to put my luggage and I had no choice but to bring it with me shame on yall I wouldn’t recommend because of this matter alone really made me uncomfortable to be there especially cause I felt rushed to leave I probably...

Hilltop Bob and Edith's is up and running very nicely. The restaurant is cleaner (of course, since it's new) and a bit quieter than the one in Springfield.

The food is just as good as the one in Springfield. I had the corned beef hash, scrambled eggs (well done), hash browns, and an English muffin. All of those were as good as any I've had at any diner. The coffee was better than most diners around here.

The service was good. All of the nice people who worked there were friendly, and very earnest and helpful. The food was very expensive, though. I think it's the most expensive breakfast food of any breakfast place around Kingstowne.

Having lived in Kingstowne for 30(!) years, I will rate the top 5 breakfast places, in my opinion. All of them are good choices, though. Here they are: (1) Olympian's (by far) (2) First Watch (3) Bob and Ediths Springfield OR Hilltop (4) Bob Evans Springfield (5)...

This place hasn’t been open very long and I don’t know how much longer it’s going to last. We were the only ones in here for dinner on a Monday night, and I kind of get why now. Everything we ordered seemed like it went from the freezer to the deep fryer to the plate, and having it next to Wegmans kind of just rubs it in your face how much you are overpaying for cheap food. Honestly the first time I’ve ever had bad, and soggy, fries at a diner. Our favorite nearby “diner” is closed on Mondays, so we hoped this would be a comparable substitute, but it was less than half as good at more than twice the price. I’ve been to other Bob and Edith’s locations and never thought they were good or bad enough to merit a review, but this one stood out. Our server was very pleasant and attentive though, just too bad food didn’t...
