Bob Evans

My husband and I go to this restaurant every week or two for breakfast. The food is awesome; the staff is always friendly and our favorite server is Trey. She remembers our drink orders every time and usually goes and gets them before we get comfortable in our seats. I usually get the Griddle Combo with pancakes with blueberries inside and bacon. Best pancakes anywhere! My husband changes his order from week to week and always enjoys his food. You never go away hungry. The manager is super friendly and always ready to help if we need anything (to go box, extra syrup, etc).
I have never seen the restaurant dirty so past reviewer must have arrived after an especially messy crew of customers.
If you want a great breakfast, better than IHOP or Cracker Barrel, stop by here.

This place is like going home because every Sunday when we lived in Michigan this was our Breakfast Spot.
We always stop at this Bob Evans on the way back to Georgia because there aren’t any near Pooler.
I had the Brioche French Toast and Bacon. I liked the French Toast because they don’t drown it in Powder Sugar. I can elect to make it to my Level of Sweetness. The bacon was ok nothing special.
Hubby had his usual eggs over easy, bacon and toast.
Our waitress was was average, not friendly but at around 6 am maybe she didn’t feel like it. So no Tip for her. I feel if you can’t take working in a Service Industry then walk to the Exit. Plus another employee obviously had brought her small toddler to work. Totally unacceptable to me.

Had to wait an hour to get served. Nobody bothered to check on our order until we asked. Finally asked the manager and the food magically appeared. We would have left, but we normally like the food at Bob Evans and didn’t feel like starting over elsewhere. Our server finally apologized for the poor service, but no one from the manager on down seemed to care. I think they depend on business from the interstate and assume they won’t see the same customer twice.

Always love the turkey and dressing with mashed potatoes at Bob Evans. The gravy is always specially good and the bread several selections to choose from. Today I’m trying the broasted chicken and looking forward to it. Bob Evans always supplies traditional home style cooking with wonderful staff. The booths are always nice and comfortable. I like knowing it’s going to be a comfortable place with homey food. You can count on the restrooms to be clean and for someone to welcome you at the door. Who can pass up those desserts at the counter as you go out the door. You can count on Bob Evans along the highway…

Loved the food and the service plus the management staff was out helping to keep the food and service great :-)

I had a terrible experience a few months ago. I don’t remember the details, but the service was terrible and I made a point to mention it when I paid the check. There was no apology of any kind. I also wrote to them on a comment form on their website explaining my experience, but did not receive any kind of response. They clearly don’t care about their customers and aren’t relying on return business.

This was my first time in a Bob Evans restaurant, and I can’t say it was wonderful. When I first entered the seating areas, the floor was horribly dirty. I had to ask a waitress twice for someone to clean the floors around my table. Apparently, there was a large party that just left, but still. They made up for it, though by cleaning up the mess.
The food was good and remarkably inexpensive for the amount of food and portions they serve. Probably a little better than Cracker Barrel but not as good as IHOP. The waitress was very friendly, as you’d expect from a place like this.

«Not a good experience! No half & half for coffee. Bacon tastes like burnt paper. Restaurant has poor fit and finish. Would not stop again. Cracker Barrel is across the interstate.»

Had the Big breakfast this morning with 3 eggs over easy, bacon, wheat toast, fruit and good coffee. Very good food and service was great.

This is a chain restaurant located off Exit 4 in Paducah, KY — the «mall» area of town.
It is surrounded by a bazillion other chain restaurants (and a few local places). Despite all the other options, this is the mainstay of my extended family for our «Sunday after church» meal, and it frequently gets picked for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc.
It is, ostensibly, a «southern style cooking» place, but really, it has one of those menus that contains just about everything. You can get breakfast food all the time, or order any number of sandwiches and dinners. While nothing on the menu is wildly crazy or unique, the restaurant gets high marks because they know what they are doing. Whether this is due to the current staff, or the fine tunings of a corporate entity, is irrelevant.
Everything is fresh here — the lettuce is crisp on your salads and burgers; the buttered, toasted bread is not soggy with butter or burned on one end, but not the other. Beef, fish, chicken… it’s all well-​cooked, flavorful, and well-​presented. Their soups are great, especially their baked potato soup, which is actually potato soup, not a glob of processed cheese-​like substance with a few shreds of potato. Salads are great, and really, I’ve never had a bad meal here.
Prices are reasonable, the staff is courteous, the bathrooms are clean, and there is ample seating, even for larger parties, or groups with kids (I have a 3 year old nephew and he loves the place).
I ding it one star because it is a chain, and because the location is crowded by other loud, garish chain businesses (hotels, restaurants, gas stations, etc.), the traffic flow is weird (you enter from the backside, which is also how you get to an Outback and a hotel).

Stopped in today for a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. Coffee was hot and tasted like coffee and both pieces of pie were tastey too. The hostess and waitperson were both very friendly and efficiant.
