Bob Evans Restaurant

Last night they had «Family Night» at the local Bob Evans restaurant. I’m not a huge fan of the place, but since we live in a tiny little town there aren’t many dinner choices. They had a face painter, clown and a guy who makes balloon animals lined up and kids eat free, so why not?
The clown was leaving as we got there (6 pm). We walked in and the hostess sat us in the very very back next to the bathroom. We are always sat back there. I’ve never sat anywhere else in this place. All the other kids were up front by the activities. I had to take my little guy up to the front to meet the balloon guy. He desperately wanted to be with the other kids (and there were empty tables).
Our waitress was not the WORST waitress we’ve ever had, but she was so very far from the best. She took our drink orders, gave us menus, walked away and walked right back with the drinks and demanded that we order. I ordered an appetizer and she said, ‘ok, and what do you want for dinner?“
Really? We just got the menu! We went ahead and ordered because we always get the same thing, but what if we wanted to actually read the menu?
She delivers the food, we had to ask for ketchup (for the French fries and hamburger). She was obviously irritated by this request but honored it.
Before I start eating (I had to get the toddler settled in with his food) she comes back, asks us if we need to go boxes and gives us the bill. My husband hadn’t even bit into his hamburger yet!
We could do nothing but laugh. We never got refills on our drinks, I never go the water I ordered. She actively ignored us the rest of the time we were there. No dessert, no nothing. When we left, she tried to charge us for TT’s meal (kids eat free!) and then overcharged us for our drinks.
Never again. The food isn’t even close to good enough to put up with that.

Join the email club. They offer many discounts if you join. They do get crowded. If your really wanting quicker service sit at the counter. Of course you’ll get to watch your and everyone’s food being made. And hear them tallk. So if you want quick service on a crowded day sit at the counter.

We go here a lot and every time is excellent. The service along with what ever you order is always on point. I think most of Bob Evans are pretty equal in food but I believe this one to be a step above all others.
