We had stopped going here, because it was always very cold in the restaurant and they claimed they could not control the A/C. Decided to try it again with visiting family last week. We all had their seasonal special pancakes with Caramel Sauce & eggs....They were the worst! My wife's was cold along with the frozen apples that topped them, so they were sent back. My scrambled eggs, were not real eggs and were watery & tasteless. Over all a terrible experience. The shame is that we used to go there quite often especially for holidays.More

We enjoy coming to Bob Evans but the service here is going down hill. The server was not the best starting with the wrong drink order. Then no rolls or pumpkin bread. She brought the food which was hot and delicious but she didn't return...to check on us. When we were finished eating she then asked if we wanted drinks to go. If service doesn't improve we won't be back.More

For many years this has been our go-to spot for local meals We normally visit at least three times every month. Sad to say, in the past year our experiences have steadily moved downhill. Long wait times. Understaffed restaurant. Slow table service. And really poor...kitchen service are the new 'norm'. Meals are usually only warm - rarely hot. Long time servers and previous management seemed to have left this restaurant. Things are far from the Bob Evans standard that we find at their other locations. Too bad - this was such a good place before.More

I loved the pot roast. You can cut it with a fork, and it's lots of meat and gravy. The staff were all very nice and the service was good.

We live 2 minutes away, in the neighborhood. This is our 2nd visit in a month. Really good breakfast. Haven’t eaten other meals here yet. We had the Western omelet and the Double Meat Farmers choice. Excellent food, nice presentation. Traci was a top notch...server and checked on us often. Service is the key to retail and she has it down. Will be back.More

Reduced seating due to Covid19 restrictions. However, the Lunch special of two items for $6.99 is really hard to beat.

I haven't been here for quite a while and I have to say that everything here has improved, not that it was ever poor, but it could be inconsistent. Maybe I just hit a good session? Who knows? Anyway, I liked the new look menus...and I was very impressed with both the service from Stephanie and the breakfast. Perfectly cooked eggs, excellent biscuits, creamy grits and very good links. All served up piping hot with some deelish sausage gravy. Yum yum yum. There was but one small negative, for reasons that escape me they no longer use Twinings teas. The teas they now offer are frankly disgusting and should immediately be consigned to the garbage. They are truly awful. Thankfully the coffee is still ace.More

We took another couple out for lunch. We were seated right away and our food was very good. I usually get the potato crusted flounder as it never disappoints. I really like the banana bread. All of us were pleased with the selection and taste....It is always clean and the servers friendly. Can't think of a reason not too come back.More

Sometimes, like this visit, management and employees are all on the same page and food, service, etc are right on target. Example: right number of cooks, servers, etc. However, many times we have been here and felt they did not live up to the Bob...Evans business model of consistent service and food. Hope they can get it right.More

So disappointed. The help spent a substantial amount of time conversing with each other. They were slow to seat us, they were slow to take our order, they were slow to serve us. They did not check in us except when we solicited their service....Food was ok but the poor service bothersome. As we left, took a look around and several tables that were not cleared when we came in still were not cleared demonstrating poor management. Too many good restaurants in the area to go back here.More
