Bob Evans

I give this place 3 ½ stars, food is good, prices are good, but it stays pretty packed with the older crowd. I get the fire chicken salad and sits huge for the price. Breakfast food is always perfect.

This Bob Evans on Stringtown Road was pretty yech last Saturday afternoon around 1. It must have been a rough morning because the restaurant was littered with trash, and overall I’m hoping a renovation is imminent-​the carpet is threadbare, wood veneer on the booths has fallen off, and the dishwasher must need replaced from the looks of whatever was stuck on my water glass. As for the menu-​WTH? Being back home in the Buckeye State from Texas for the past two years, I was totally put off by the smoke-​and-​mirrors of this menu. Pick Three is REALLY pick two because the included bottomless beverage is one of the three. (WHAT?) And what’s the deal with fresh brewed tea being 30 cents more than flavored tea? Why aren’t all teas the same price? Really step back Corporate B. E.‘s and look at how complicated this menu is? Would Bob Evan’s really condone all of this? H– — - no! For as much as I couldn’t wait for Bob Evans when I was flying into Columbus from Dallas, let’s just say I not as excited to return for the rest of my stay. I’m only hope when I come back in two years, a cleaner and more simplified and straight forward Bob is back.

Excellent service and food today! Had the double chocolate hot cakes and a side of sausages. Coffee was hot and fresh. Tried the corn meal mush, not my favorite. We were seated immediately and greeted immediately. It was a great lunch.

Always a rock solid breakfast morning, noon. or night. good prices on kids meals and the food is always good.

Good service, decent food. Our waitress was attentive. Not extraordinary but pretty good.

Another Bob Evans visit in less than 2 months!
Not what you think, both times was more of convenience over choice. This Bob’s is located in the same parking lot as my hotel and a group of co-​workers wanted something quick so we can get back to work.
At Bob Evans, the choices are pretty similar to a Denny’s or IHOP. The food is about the same in taste, but the prices here a diet cheap. I had their Potato Crusted Flounder and a cup of chili. The chili wasn’t anything special, but the fish was pretty good which is surprising at a place that specializes in breakfast.
Service here was just okay, but I can see it improving. We had a new server and he’ll be fine after a few more weeks. No reason complaining about his serving skills because he’s new. But he was at least attentive and even did what he can to make our dining experience the bomb.
Overall, if you like Denny’s type food then Bob Evans is a place for you. Price is definitely a huge plus here.

I used to really enjoy Bob Evans. The salads, the chicken fried steak, chicken strips, omelets, were all favorites of mine. Now, the food seems to come out of the kitchen less than hot, in smaller portions, with less flavor. This location used to be across the street, now it is difficult to make a left hand turn onto Stringtown or even out of their parking lot onto the shopping center street.
On to the food – My most recent meal here was breakfast and they were quite busy. Waited about 15 min to be seated. Food was lukewarm, refills were done and check was given early (which I like). There was some cutlery dropped on the carpeted floor a few feet away in a main thoroughfare and it took 5 employees to walk by before a manager picked it up.

Corporate has given up on the values-​centered mission of Bobs. This new bakery farce is a very poor choice and store renovations destroyed store culture. I will not go back to Bobs by choice.

Really the service and most of the food was a solid 5 stars, but being a chain and having had better food I’ll leave it at a very positive 4+ stars.
This is only the second time I’ve dined at Bob Evans and I enjoyed this location way more than Pickerington.
Though they didn’t have a large to go bakery like the latter, the service was just stellar.
Brianna was so attentive, we had the all you can eat soup, salad and breads which we took full advantage of.
So much that after the second bowl of salad she made us a huge one a la Olive Garden and along with their balsamic its a nice fresh salad.
We also spooned our way through all 6 soup selections, chicken noodle was ok, good chicken, real homemade noodles, just not too much flavor.
Beef and veggie was good, the white bean very simple but fine, loaded baked potato the mans fav, it was so cheesy, pretty darn good.
I We loved the tomato basil, now I’m a hater of tomato, I always pick them off of salads, burgers just hate them.
It was the last soup we ordered and I got it more just to have had them all.
So glad I did, it tasted like a marinara sauce, it was loaded with parmesan and basil, damn was that good.
Also my favorite part of the meal, all you can eat bread, now here they had no muffins like I enjoyed so much last time, therefore blueberry and banana nut bread, I ate about a loaf of each and $ 6 for all the soups, salads and breads I ate is a great deal, alsong with fabulous service and kids meals for less than $ 3 our family paid $ 15 insane!

How can you ever go wrong eating at Bob Evans?
It’s an Ohio original from the Bob Ev ans Farm down along the banks of the mighty Ohio River in southern Ohio. It’s the ultimate country kitchen restaurant chain. Unfortunately, it didn’t make its way to the East Coast until about 20 years ago, so I didn’t grow up enjoying the delectable delights from Bob’s menu.
My personal favorite is the «Sunshine Skillet» which is their original open-​faced omelet with their signature sausage, sausage gravy, cheese, home fries all on top of a 3 (or more) egg flat omelet. OMG! How can you go wrong with all of that flavor rolling around in your mouth!
When I’m feeling less indulgent and more guilty, I enjoy the fresh fruit cup and hot piping oatmeal with a little milk and brown sugar mixed in. Their pancakes are usually perfectly wonderful as well. Can you tell that I typically frequent Bob Evans for breakfast?
When I visit Bob’s for lunch or dinner, I usually have the breakfast (served all day), unless I’m in the mood for one of their hearty sandwiches or meaty entrees. I think that their fresh salads and hot soups are probably their best feature after breakfast. At Bob’s, every meal is good. Very predictable, thankfully.
The best part about Bob Evans is that there’s one on almost every street corner in Greater Columbus, so you’re never too far from one of the best restaurant chains in America. Plus, if you need to meet a friend or business associate for a meal, Bob’s is the easiest and best bet to appease your any guest.
