Bob Evans

A couple of years ago I would have given Bob Evans a 5star review. However, it seems something has changed in the way the are operating. Both the food, service, and wait time is inconsistent where it was previously excellent. I still like Bob Evans but they have turned unpredictable.

absolute garbage not worth belly room my dogs food smells better when i open the bag than this slop did eww

If you are in a hurry, skip this place. Service is beyond slow, but the Food is good — the broasted chicken is exceptional. Love the biscuits. If you’ve got the time, worth a stop.

I really love this chain from rio grande ohio. especially their breakfast food!
some of their dinner deals are fun. I always get sweet tea!!! I’ve used bob evans for thanksgiving before. It doesn’t cost too much and the food tastes pretty good. Sometimes its easier if the cooks are getting older to give them a break!
This location was pretty good. We have a very friendly server. Was she flirting with my friend? Maybe. I’m sure it helped her tip. We played that game.
I’m sure I’m biased because its an ohio chain, but I like bob evans. Who has the energy to wake up and make their own breakfast?

After foot surgery, I’m temporarily STUCK here in Springfield (CHAIN CITY) so when I finally had a chance to go out, this was better than nothing, but not by much… (waaaah, yep, I’m whining!!)
It’s that crazy time bet. Christmas and New Years when half the world is off work for the holidays, and the other half has to take care of their (our) lazy butts, so as much as I feel for the extremely harried/​overworked crew here this late Monday morning, I really think they could have done a better job… TONS of people waiting for tables at the entrance (our wait was not too bad, probably 15 – 20 min. or so) but once we were finally seated, there were at least half a dozen or more empty tables just waiting to be cleared. Service was sloooooooow, but we got our coffee pretty quickly, and our apologetic waitress brought our biscuits out ahead of time and let us know that the kitchen was pretty backed up. I got some sort of open-​faced omelet «bowl,» and I have to say, while it tasted ok, I have NEVER seen anything look more different from the menu picture to reality (wish I had taken a picture comparing the two!!)
All in all, not bad, but (waaaaaaaaah again, another whine!!) I could make most, if not all of this stuff better myself. This displaced New Yorker is STILL in search of a breakfast/​brunch experience worth writing home about!!!

Springfield, Ohio. I love this Bob Evans. The food is good, your typical Bob Evans. The servers are friendly. You may have to wait a few minutes to be seated at lunch time and after church. I love their waffles and deserts. I try to take a sweater in with me even during the summer because of the cold air blowing down from the ceiling vents.

Ordered the meat loaf smaller portion with carrots instead of potatoes and green beans. The meatloaf was smothered in gravy and besides being tough it was too salty to eat. The carrots tasted like they were left in the fridg in an open container and the beans were squishy. I sent it back and decided to just eat the banana bread which turned out to be somewhat wet like it had been frozen. My husband ordered the black angus chopped sirloin with portabella mushrooms. He found the meat and shrooms were burnt. The table has syrup on it and the screen dividing our table is dirty. We have had unsatisfactory issues with this restaurant and the one in Beavercreek. I believe this is the last time we will spend money here.

I can’t believe I am giving 5 stars to a Bob Evans, but I really can’t see any reason not to. And it is mostly because of a server who I believe was named Mae.
After a quick trip to Cinci, my Mom and I dropped in here for a quick bite before heading home. We were very concerned at first since, it being the time the church crowds were going wild and the parking lot was filled to capacity, we figured there would be a long wait. However, we only sat about 5 minutes before getting a table. The place, recently redone I warrant, was neat and clean with a lovely little bakery section at the entrance. The corridor to the restrooms was tight, but the facilities themselves were just fine.
The big thing though was the service, specifically our super friendly and helpful server. She was managing to stay energetic and cheerful despite the massive crowds, and made us feel quite welcome… I think some of her exuberance even rubbed off on us, and we left in a better mood than we entered. Service was prompt, we were never without refills, and she had the knack of showing up just when you were thinking you might need something. Seriously, she was one of the better servers I’ve had in years.
I was also really impressed with the food. Bob Evans are usually okay — maybe 3~4 stars — but d*** if those weren’t the best pancakes I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly crisp with no gooey or burnt spots and certainly no onion flavor (something I have come to take as «normal» at BE), I couldn’t find anything to complain about. The bacon was also extremely good and again, perfectly cooked. Coffee was fresh and flavorful. My mother, meanwhile, had a turkey sandwich with bacon which she also said was surprisingly good, with a very nice tomato and plenty of meat. We ended the meal with a slice of pumpkin pie which was also very tasty.
Overall, I was surprisingly impressed with this experience, one of the better I have had in any restaurant and certainly the best I have had at a Bob Evans.

Your basic Bob Evans. The food is always good and consistent no matter which one I go too. So I always knows what to expect when I go. It’s the service that makes or breaks the experience. And to be honest, the service at this location kind of sucked. We felt rushed the entire time. Our waitress asked us before we had even eaten half our food if we needed a box. She asked my friend if he needed a to go cup for his drink. And then she brought the check out way early. We felt rushed and like we couldn’t just sit and enjoy our meal in peace.

Had lunch here today. Quick service and the pot roast sandwich they have on the menu is wonderful. As a rule, I find Bob Evans to be pretty reliable as a decent dining stop, especially when I’m in a breakfast kind of mood.
