Bob Evans Restaurant

Please do not discount the negative reviews. I tried them again today and got the same sub par food and the service was marginally better. I am being generous with the word «marginally’.
If you want to leave hungry, this is the place for you. Maybe just order double. My eggs must have came from robins or sparrows since they were so small. My biscuits were hard this time.
For the price points on several menu items especially ala carte items were too high. The service is not consistent. Try some other places on Arlington Rd, avoid this place.

It pains me to have to write this review. I used to visit this location semi-​frequently over the years and my past experiences were always positive. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case recently.
My order: The Farmer’s Choice. I chose my eggs sunny-​side up, a blueberry crêpe, hashbrowns, sausage links with an extra side order of links, and a hot chocolate. Of course, the hot chocolate arrives first. I take a sip and notice, almost immediately, what looks like a piece of lettuce between my lips. Confused, I take it out, inspect the hot chocolate, and come to the conclusion that maybe the spoon I used to eat the whip cream was unclean. Cautiously, I sip again, using my teeth as a barrier to detect any more stray items in my beverage. This time, the same thing happens. I notice another, unknown object in my mouth. At this point, inform the server that something is wrong with my drink and that I need a new one. She takes it back, returns with a new beverage, and informs me that someone had left the previous cup inside of a can of coleslaw. I have mixed emotions at this point. On the one hand, I’m glad she told me what I had in my mouth. Maybe others would not be so inclined, but I’m the kind of person who likes to know the bad news first. On the other hand, how exactly does one accidentally put a cup inside a can of coleslaw? In the chain of events in the kitchen, multiple people would have had to miss this rather obvious error: the dish washer, who, one assumes, inspects each dish as he or she washes it, and the server, who would have to look at the cup while filling it. I was bewildered.
My breakfast order arrives. As though a cup of hot chocolate coleslaw wasn’t enough, one of my eggs looks it a little overcooked. Feeling adventurous for reasons I’ll never quite understand, I took a bite only to find that the egg white had the texture of silly putty. The crêpe also was a little light on the fillings, but I ate it in an effort to salvage what was left of my utterly terrible breakfast.
After informing me of the hot chocolate coleslaw mishap, I could hear my server speaking loudly to others in the kitchen, ostensibly to figure out who was responsible. While that’s wonderful, one would think she would’ve offered not to charge me for the beverage and, perhaps, had the manager offer an apology. But there she was, making softball jokes about how it’s good that it’s Friday and pretending that nothing happened.
In short, if you like a little bit of coleslaw with your hot chocolate, check this place out. Otherwise, make the short trip down South Arlington Road and go to IHOP, the Waffle House, or Denny’s. Their beverages come without a side dish.

Fucking rude ass manager. I told the fucking hostess I needed a god damn table she didn’t write it down, and the retarded manager had the audacity to say, «You didn’t say you needed a table when you came.» Well… Yes I fucking did, how about you train your hostess better and then kiss my fucking ass. Stupid dick.

Bob evans used to be a good place to eat, but ithink they changed food companies because it just doesnt tast the same. And what I really dont like is the they just stare at me, I guess because im black. When I go look at the gift area they all start waching me, like im gonna steal somthing, but if a white customer goes to the gift area theyll treat them diffrent. Oh well what can you this has been going on for over 400 years.

My boyfriend and I were highly satisfied with our meals. We went for dinner and the wait was somewhat long, but we’ll worth it! We both had breakfast meals, and they were great, especially his country fried steak. One of the best Bob Evans I’ve been to in regards to the meal, and service was ok too. Definitely improved since the remodeling of the menu.

RUN as fast as you can away from here. We were here 1 and a half hours and had horrible service and horrible food. 3 of the 6 place settings had dirty forks and knives. NEVER returning!

My first Bob Evans Experience. Ok so it’s a Denny’s and it attracts a very eclectic crowd. Only Denny’s or iHop is better. They really need to put some coffee in their coffee, but everything else was about the same.

Slow service and a very disorganized front end. It took forever to get a simple salad.

Not surprised with their current rating score, and I am sad to say that bc I love Bob Evans. Went in on a weekday morning, waited 20 mins for a table, ok no problem they were busy. When we got sat total party of four, we were greeted in about 3 – 5 mins, ok they were busy, got it. Server comes gets our drink order, brings drinks, and takes food order, then drops off check even before food ever arrives. that is weird to me bc are they rushing us? or do they know we are not ordering more food? or is that the end of the interaction with our server? Well I guess so, 20 mins later food arrives and I am missing part of my meal. Our server never, not once, checked up on us. nothing, nada. We ate our food and at pay counter I informed clerk I didn’t receive all my food. She adjusted the bill, and that was it. Was not happy about this experience. Will I give them another try? yes, and then I will give an updated review, hopefully it will be 5 stars.

Not sure why I bother ordering ahead.
They never have it ready at the time I’m told (at least three other times that I can recall.) This time it was nothing super difficult, two soups and biscuits. Not sure what the problem was, but it took quite a while to have it put together. Might as well have showed up and placed the order when I got here, the transaction may have actually gone smoother!
And no, it was not overly busy.

The food is terrible and so is the customer service. I used to like this restaurant and it has gone downhill. Me and my family didn’t have much time to waste. The lady said she would be with us shortly and we waited over 20 minutes. I could understand if the place was busy but it wasn’t. So anyways we seated ourselves. The lady took our order and we waited awhile and got our food. Everything was over cooked and cold. When I came out of the restaurant I was feeling sick. The waitress was really kind though. I wouldn’t reccomend THIS PATICULAR Bob Evans restaurant.

Stopped for a quick bite, service was fast & friendly,(sat at the counter). This Bob Evans has been remodeled and just reopened. The restaurant seems more open with cleaner lines. There is an emphasis on the bakery now.

My meal was small. I ordered half a sandwich & a bowl of soup. My sandwich seemed more like a quarter then a half. The price was high too $ 6.99. All of this said I’ll still eat here again, just not the half sandwich.

Average restaurant
They need to get up to speed competing w the newer breakfast-​focused places

Great breakfast, service was a little sloppy but I will definitely I back. However the lunch menu was not so go. My mom and I were both un happy.

Had breakfast here with my family, party of 8. They were not able to make a table for 8 people so they had two of us sit at another table. I thought that was weird.
I ordered a caramel mocha and the Pot Roast Hash with scrambled eggs.
The caramel mocha was so freakin sweet. It literally tasted like melted caramel sauce. I couldn’t finish it.
The Pot Roast Hash was alright. The meat was tender and flavored well, but the eggs were kind of rubbery.
I don’t know that I would go out of my way to eat at Bob Evans if there were other choices in the area.
