Bob Evans Restaurant

The food was good. The service was disappointing. I suspected the server was inexperienced, or something was awry in the kitchen none of us knew about. It was late afternoon with about 20 patrons. Service was slow, items forgotten, food delivered without silverware, and not just at my table, but all around. The check arrived shorty before the return of Christ. I’ll give them one more shot before shunning this location for others I’ve visited in the area.

The waitress service was good; however, the host, who decided to sit me in the middle of three tables which had a combined nine children under the age of seven, is an idiot. I am a single 20-​something woman. Is that the usual kind of person who likes to hear loud, screaming children her entire meal? I’m childless for a reason, and it certainly isn’t to hear the cries and whines of another’s child. Have some freaking common sense, dude. (It was 6pm on a Tuesday. It was not at all packed.) Moreover, I also had my meal with ants. So, yeah… would not return.

On way thru Central PA and looked for somewhere to have breakfast. Looked up I-​hop on Unilocal in Harrisburg this location actually come up. I should have known better the was no pictures of I-​hop come to find it’s a bob evans. Across the street was a diner and it seemed much more crowded after a few minutes of debating with my self I choose here. Seemed clean was pretty busy. Waiting a few minutes to be seated. Of course lot a low buget restaurants I attend there silverwear always has water spot and my kind through my utensils on the table. I ask for new set. My order was incorrect they fix it but no apology no real check to see if your ok. Water spots on utensil, incorrect order I’ll take a raincheck.

Poor managed location. Slow service; looks like understaffed during busy lunch time hrs. Very disappointed. Food is reliable; place is clean, but daily operations need changes to attract customers

There was about a twenty minute wait for our party of six. I would definitely recommend the vanilla coffee. It was very flavorful and not overly sweet. I had the mini sampler for $ 6 with one scrambled egg, home fries, sausage, and biscuit. This was a great value and I was full. They were accommodating and allowed us to substitute pork sausage for turkey sausage. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

While the food may be okay the time waiting was God awful. There were maybe four customers total in the restaurant and my party of three people all ordered the exact same breakfasts. It took over 20 minutes to get it. It seems that the staff all around were completely lazy.

We decided to have breakfast before we headed back to NY, it was an amazing choice. The kids loved it and the biscuits were to die for. We had fee refills on our awesome French vanilla coffees. Excellent service all around. If I’m in the area i would def go here again. Not pricey at all.

I hate being a negative person, but this was a let down. I know it’s a chain restaurant, but i never had a bad experience at bob evans, it’s just not a place i go to. I’ve never had blander food, the hash browns were dry and had no seasoning, the eggs were the same. The biscuits however were overly salty.
It could be that we caught them on a bad day. I would say proceed with caution.

We decided to try Bob Evan’s for breakfast today. It was pretty packed due to Fathers Day but we didn’t have to wait long. Once seated the waitress immediately came over to get our orders. I ordered the farmers breakfast with French toast which is a little of everything and my husband got the same with the strawberry crepes. Both of our food was amazing. I definitely recommend the cheesy hash brown casserole. We loved it and will be back!

Burned home fries twice, watery cheese eggs, uncooked sausage links, less than good pancakes, and I ordered a salad to go and it was just so poorly thrown in a box, the chicken looked odd and I will never eat at THIS Bob Evans again. No kisses for the chef

Ok so me & the bf r in Harrisburg for his bowling tornament we went here for lunch I had the slow roasted turkey bacon sandwich which comes with fries & coleslaw food was good the coleslaw was awesome best coleslaw I’ve had in a long time waitress was extremely nice so was the lady that sat is one of the manager even came over & asked how everything was honestly if more workers was like these ones the world would be a better place

Some really good tasty food here! Very friendly upbeat staff. They have a southern flare and really fresh well seasoned food. Check for coupons, a kind gentlemen gave us a $ 4 off $ 20+ one.

We ate at Bob Evans for breakfast on our way to Hershey Park because we didn’t see our usual IHOP. Our 1^st time eating there and it was great, exactly what this fam of 5 needed for a long day at the park. 2 days later we decided to have breakfast there again, this time at the one right down the street from our hotel in Harrisburg. This one wasn’t as busy and our waitress was awesome, super friendly, funny, very attentive. We filled up again for another busy day before we go home. We did not try their lunch or dinner but if it’s anything like breakfast they will not disappoint, we even brought their bread for snacks on the way home, delicious!!!

if u come ask for Kelli phenomenal waitress. Food is always good. Good coffee. A little chilly is abt the only complaint

God food. The best in lifetime. Get the double chocolate pancakes. Jesus blessed them with love.

Waited while hostess continued conversation with customer about mutual friends, no one greeted or asked to seat me. I needed to see if they had a plug in for my laptop. I left and called them they answered asked if take out and I said I had one quick question, they put me on hold.

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Pancakes and French toast was pretty good. The wait was not too long to be seated, and waitress was kind. The employee and cook were fighting, but this didn’t effect us. Overall, I would recommend this place in the future, although this is nothing special…

Ate breakfast here before a long day on the road. Service was prompt and courteous. Food was on-​par with Denny’s or IHOP. Nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either.

As a frequent business traveler to the area, there were dinner times when other ideas were exhausted, or a quick and filling dinner required no further embellishment. Bob Evans has a wholesome Americana vibe, in their setting, service and food.
I’ve pretty much stuck to their chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy; it is under-​seasoned but tasty. The service here leaves a bit to be desired. While friendly, and at times, chatty, it tends to be slow and poorly motivated– particularly at the reception/​cashier area.
In summary, adequate with neither surprises nor disappointments.

Continuing our ongoing survey of the Fine Dining Establishments of Eisenhower Blvd., we come to Bob Evans. We’d never been to a Bob Evans before but had seen the meat products at the Grocery Store. We walked in and I thought, oh, its a cross between IHOP and the Cracker Barrel, with the Folksy historic Harrisburg photos and the Gift Kiosk at the Hostess Station. Fortunately the food exceeded expectations. I had the Beef Stew on Potatoes and Biscuits deep dish special. (Because, as I tell my lovely wife, everything tastes better on or with mashed potatoes.) My vivacious wife had the turkey dinner and was pretty impressed with her food, too. The pricing was right about what we expected to pay for the amount of food we got and the banana nut bread and blueberry bread were both tasty and included in the entrée price.
Two things bothered us about the restaurant. One was the hostess. While waiting we were chatting with another customer in line. The hostess came up and asked if we were a party of four. When we said no, she said why don’t you sit together anyway so you can keep talking? Then she insisted two or three more times to seat us together while we politely declined. We thought that was odd Also, because the kitchen is not separated from the dining room, you can hear, among other things the manager shouting to the staff that they needed more hamburger buns.
It won’t stop us from returning but we did think it worth mentioning.
