Bob Evans Restaurants

Never been here before or in North Carolina or even SOUTH for that matter. Came here and was blown away. Best breakfast spot I’ve ever been too. If I were to own a chain of restaurants it would be this place. The front bar where you lay and they offer snacks and candy and food to go is genius. Best multigrain blueberry pancakes I’ve ever had. Service was profound. Their skillets are A 1. If you want the breakfast of your life please o here. ALSO the best PRICED breakfast ever??? Extremely Affordable. Twenty years old and I can’t believe I’ve never had the chance to eat at Bob Evans I love u

It was great to find a family down home cookin type place so close to home! I don’t much like the location, just because of the awkward one-​way-​up-​to-​a-​certain-​point road thats separate from the main road but still right in front of the restaurant, which only turns one way and other such similar nuisances.
This place has become our go-​to since the nearest WH is too far away. I would love to have a lifetime supply of their fresh cinnamon streusel bread. it’s HEAVENLY! I’ve tried something different every time I’ve dined in, and have yet to be disappointed. Bravo!
Lose a star for the awkward location, and only one of their servers seems to know how to wait tables, so good for her, but train some people, for pete’s sake lol

The food here is great! I loved the brioche French toast, I think it’s the best French toast I’ve ever had which is so surprising! $ 4.99 French toast compared to $ 15.00 French toast at a pricey brunch restaurant.
The service is very good and friendly as well. Our drinks were kept filled and the food came fast, all with a pleasant attitude and smile.
Keep in mind this is a Denny’s style restaurant so it’s not glamorous by any means but it is clean and the food is great. Definitely nicer than Denny’s, ihop, or other chain breakfast places.
Bob Evans never disappoints!

No eggs to order available at 11:30AM this morning??? Really??? This was just the beginning of a myriad of problems for my party of 5 in a restaurant that was at most, a quarter full of guests. There were no fork sets and an empty ketchup bottle at our table, drink orders were tardy, it took 3 requests to receive mustard. One sandwich order arrived with no cheese and it took 10 minutes to get it back. My broccoli cheddar soup arrived lukewarm and my half grilled cheese sandwich had separated and slid across the plate. Ugh… sad.

After the low rating seen on this site I was hesitant to go here. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. We had a friendly, helpful waitress who was prompt with our order and any additional requests. The food was fresh, hot if appropriate and tasty. We started with a bread basket and all of the selections were delicious. Then we had cinnamon chip pancakes, kids Mac n cheese and a peach salad for our group and everything was perfect. I had the salad and the peaches were fresh, and the chicken hot and good texture. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

It had been many years since I’d been to a Bob Evans restaurant, remembering so-​so breakfasts in Florida back in the ’80’s and ’90’s. A friend recently recommended their soups, which we tried and liked very much; then, we needed carry-​out for a sick relative while visiting in KY and a Bob Evans was nearby. The aromas en-​route to deliver the meals were amazing; so, yesterday, we tried our hometown Bob Evans for the pot roast, which was the delivered meal. This was the best pot roast we’ve ever had… everything in the dish was wonderful! Haven’t tried other dishes; but, based on this test, the place rocks! Gotta try other items, and since they’re frequently at interstate exits, I predict we’ve found a meal-​on-​the-​road favorite!

Not sure why this gets low stars. For breakfast… it rocks! I mean you can’t beat this for comfort food in a diner setting. What took it over the top??? The full pot of coffee they drop on your plate even if dining alone! Plus they have some amazing food that is good for calorie counters. This is def a notch above Denny’s. One of better redeeming qualities I like about NC is Bob himself! Feels like country cooking.

Terrible food, terrible service, the place is freezing

My husband and I come here every Sunday morning. We keep coming back because we love the food and the service. The atmosphere is great and the staff is always very nice and courteous.

The food here is good and the staff is usually nice and attentive. If I had one thing not to my liking is for some reason parents let their kids run wild and soon it feels like a free for all. It’s like when one dog in the neighborhood starts howling and the rest of the dogs have to join in. It quickly became a circus in there on this visit with one family and their little offspring leading the charge With every shriek our stomachs jumped more and digestion was not happening with ease. My heart went out to the wait staff who had to attend to them. It was not a happy time for anyone who just wanted a peaceful meal.

I was seated soon as I walked in took a while for server to take my order, when the food was delivered I planned to ask for a glass of water but she left before I got chance so I thought when she come back to check I would ask for the water well that never happened. I went to butter my bread but it was hard and cold again the server never came back I did not eat the bread not did I finish my meal the server never came back so I got up went to the cashier telling she I never saw server after she delivered my meal she asked if other wise was the meal good I told her I ate it and paid my bill and left. Would I go back to this store no not would refer it to others no.

Had a very friendly staff.

Pros: Breakfast items are really good, kid-​friendly, reasonably priced, service is quick, food is pretty good not well seasoned though at time (spaghetti is bland).
Cons: Waiter did not come back to our table a lot, although they go for a down-​home feel it actually looks quite old and dingy and the bathrooms need some serious work.
Overall: Pretty good but the food needs a little more spice and flavor.

«‘Down on the farm’… for a great breakfast!»
I’ve seen this place for years but only stopped here for breakfast for the first time today. My dining partner and I were very pleasantly surprised (especially given the now-​seemingly-​overcritical reviews here). The restaurant was brightly lit, and airy. We were seated quickly.
Positives:
+ Diverse menu. I took quite some time to look not just at the MANY breakfast item combinations but also at some of the other dishes.
+ Healthy options. It’s a place known for pork and beef, but I was impressed to see the option to substitute for turkey sausage, for healthier eggs, for low-​calorie syrup, whole-​grain pancakes, lots of fruits, etc.
+ Service. Our server checked on us repeatedly and was extremely pleasant. Food orders came fast and exactly as requested, too.
+ Taste. We both really liked our dishes (she had a mushroom/​onion omelette and I had a combo with eggs, pancakes, and fruit). I was also pleased that the pineapple in the fruit cup was «fresh» pineapple and not something poured out of a Dole can.
+ Price. Many inexpensive options, including a special today of all you can eat pancakes for under $ 5. I’ve also seen coupons for discounts in various mailings.
Negatives:
— No big ones… the dishes were all quite good but perhaps not the most creative, and ambiance may not suit everyone (kind of like «Cracker Barrel»), but I found both fine.
Synopsis:
While not «as good as it gets» (which is how Unilocal defines 5-​stars), this was a very nice breakfast option, and I’d happily return to have breakfast here again.
PS– They DO have free wifi, unlike what the listing here says.

So… What about Bob? Bob Evans Restaurant got started by serving breakfast in Ohio and has grown to 600 restaurants in 18 states mostly on the East coast and the Midwest. They serve all the usual breakfast items plus salads, burgers, soups, meatloaf, sandwiches and regular Southern favorites. But the real start of Bob Evans is breakfast. And on this visit I ordered the Classic Breakfast which is two eggs cooked-​to-​order, with your choice of two hotcakes, one slice of French toast or two biscuits. Served with sausage or bacon. I also got orange juice and coffee. The service was just as good as I expected it to be. Since it is located next to an Outback Steakhouse there will be plenty of parking. Keep in mind this place will be jam packed on the weekends.

I placed an order online for curbside pickup and went to go get it. The estimated time it would be ready was at 11:30. I called twice from my car to see if my order was ready and both times the hostess said she would go check. After 45 minutes of waiting I finally went in and asked if my order was ready. Turns out no one turned in my order to be prepared. Worst service I’ve ever experienced.

I’m writing this the day after visiting because I did’t want to be too slanted. So my wife and I dropped by with a couple of friends after church yesterday and experienced a twenty minute wait. The only problem with that was that there were at least 7 empty, clean tables visible from the waiting area. I can understand having a short wait in that situation, but 20 minutes? The food is okay, but when you have to wait that long you sort of expect perfection, and it was far from perfect.

Food was fine, the serve another story. We were one of four tables early this morning and it took us 50 minutes to get in and out. It’s breakfast people! Eggs — two minutes tops to cook. Bacon, probably already cooked. Our coffee cups were empty almost the entire time despite the fact they put coffee carafes on every table (oops, our waitress forgot.) If it wasn’t for the service it would have probably gotten three stars, but still for the price and the atmosphere you’re better off finding a local spot instead of this chain vibe.

We eat there maybe once a week for breakfast or maybe desert and coffee (yes, bad idea). The place is clean, service is friendly, menu reasonably varied. I like that they don’t get flustered when I order eggs and meat ONLY for breakfast. I also like that they have at least one fruit pie; so many places in the south only have unhealthy deserts :).
Price is not too bad for the meals. It works for us.
