Bob Evans

I’m over this location. Far too many bad experiences here. Wait time on food in the evening has gotten horrible and so has the food. They can’t seem to keep cooks because the excuses I always hear is they have new ones. Tonight was ALL kitchen error and gross. I ordered the grilled chicken breast dinner (which the chicken was dry and bland but not the worst of it). I got steamed broccoli as a side. My first broccoli came out ice cold and the server apologized and seemed pissed at the kitchen. She said «not again, I’m sorry.» The table next to us had been waiting close to an hour for their food and pestering the waitress for it. I sent back the broccoli and asked for it hot. What she brought back was hot but it tasted off and pretty bad after a few bites. I dug through the broccoli on the plate and discovered a LOT of discoloration, black spots on the stalks, brown spots, and white… it seriously looked like mold. I showed the waitress and she apologized, looked in horror at the plate, snatched the plate, and asked me to take a free dessert instead. I declined as I can’t eat sweets. I told the Assistant GM, Curtiss I think his name was, and he immediately called me a liar in front of my wife and mother! Told me they don’t serve frozen or cold vegetables and the second plate was discolored because that’s how broccoli is supposed to look. He told me it was a fresh batch and I was wrong. I asked the host to fetch my waitress so she could verify it to him and he got more rude and more defensive and said I couldn’t speak to her, he had seen the food, and I was wrong. I told him I wished I’d snapped a picture of it to email corporate. He told me he’d take the broccoli off the bill but they served good food and I was just complaining to complain. This is how you treat customers? Seriously??? You’re an assistant GM and I’d been coming here since that location didn’t suck for more than a decade and you tell me I’m wrong for saying I had a bad meal and it was my fault? NEVER going to this location ever again. I should call a health inspector on them to check that perfect kitchen of theirs.

Great breakfast. I’ve had the pancakes, french toast and omelets. All have been fresh and hot. Try the farmers breakfast you can’t beat the price. Service is quick. Dinner is just okay but often over salted and processed. I recommend this restaurant for breakfast! Will be back!

Ok this was by far the worst Bob Evans I had ever been to. We were here a while back just passing through and for starters our server had no clue what she was doing. It took her 20 minutes to serve our food so long that one of my parents side dishes was cold. She brought out the salad at the same time as our other food never once refilled our drinks. Tried to blame the cooks for it. The manager poor guy I felt so bad for him he waved our bill and we left without getting desert we ordered because our server after the manager spoke to us refused to serve us and was very rude. We haven’t been back since. Best to just avoid this place altogether

I hope I am never near here again. If I am I will go across the street to Perkins. I’ll bet their staff is better than this Bob Evans staff. I can’t remember being treated this badly in my life.

I will start this review by saying, I really enjoy this chain! They have amazing pancakes with really comforting combinations like cinnamon roll style etc, very generously served up with tons of creamy indulgence, a great cozy environment, a huge menu, and usually, warm friendly service. Never mind that I order health food wherever I go, I LOVE to come here and see what my family orders. It’s always a visual treat! Hey, I’m allowed to live vicariously through them am I not?
What I really like about Bob Evans, aside from their amazingly complicated and original menu and generous selection of different bread items with breakfasty meals to even include seasonal coffee cakes instead of toast (Hey, I’m easy to please!) is that they have a ton of food I can eat! I am a nutritarian, which means generally, I need to order plain steamed veggies, plain baked potatoes, plain salad (bring my own dressing) and plain fresh fruit when I go out. Most restaurants don’t have much if anything I can eat. I am very thankful if a place has one thing I can eat. This place has many! They offer completely plain, freshly steamed broccoli, completely plain baked potatoes and a huge fruit plate. When I come here, I get the pleasure of watching my family order neat things, along with the satisfaction of leaving completely full and satisfied. It speaks a lot of any place that has this much fresh food in the back that hasn’t been slopped from a can or pre-​prepped with a ton of butter, salt and oil. Fresh is a good sign, no matter what your dietary lifestyle is! Am I right?
For that reason, I really enjoy coming here. If you like breakfasts and aren’t fussy about things being made from scratch, this is your place. It’s like an improved version of your typical breakfast chain, a little notch above the rest. Personally, I really like it. That, and they offer a military discount, and have a neat little merchandise section up front where you can buy Pancake and Maple Syrup candles if the mood suits you, and many other fun things that remind me of Cracker Barrel merchandise. It’s a cozy place to start the day.
I hope you drop by one of these days!

Not good for Sunday. Too busy.

Waited over an hour for our food. We sat down at the same time the couple behind us did and they had already finished eating and received a carry out order. They gave us our food for free and to go, but completely left out our third order, and the pancakes that they made for us weren’t even the ones we ordered. Not to mention they had a 20 minute wait when we left and half the restaurant wasn’t even full.

Food was good, but the cook could not follow the simple concept of making hash browns extra crispy. Took 10 minutes of waiting for him to send them out. Food was great once I got it.

We went their for a meal in-​between lunch and dinner hour (for a late lunch) The floors were filthy with debris that made us wonder the cleanliness of the place. The bathrooms were awful also. I don’t think we will come back.

We were on our way home to Northern Illinois, saw the sign from the road, we had never eaten in one of these restaurants. This restaurant was dreadful. The server tried hard to be helpful and we did give her a tip however because of our complaints the management waived the bill. The food took 50 minutes to arrive was lukewarm at best and not very appetizingly presented. Everything was greasy even the carrots not sure what they did. I could go on and on but its just easier to say it was TERRIBLE and we would not stop there again. Went to Macdonalds to get a drive through we were so hungry :(

Food was ok. No real complaint on the food. However my server was horrible. She plopped down in my booth to take my order. Set there most of my meal with an empty glass of coke. She never took a single dish off my table. She just seemed like on of those servers who expect a tip no matter what…

it’s a North-​midwestern cultural must. Never fantastic but always good.

My girlfriend and I were in town and looking for a good place for breakfast, since we were in town for a performing arts event at the UD Arena. Bob Evans was right across the street from our hotel, so we figured we would try it. Best decision we made that trip! The staff was EXTREMELY nice and pleasant to talk to. We don’t get service like that anywhere in California :(I ordered a plate of biscuits and gravy, and she ordered a scramble. Man oh man, both orders were excellent! Our waitress made sure she took our order EXACTLY how we wanted the food! We had no complaints. The food was excellent. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a good breakfast! The prices are extremely reasonable too!
Btw we went on a Sunday late morning, and a lot of people had just come from church, so it was pretty full. Be prepared to wait a little bit if you go during peak eating hours. But it is WORTH THE WAIT for that breakfast! BRING THE BOB EVANS CHAIN TO CA!!!

Great breakfast here!
