Bob Evans

Bob Evans is a chain restaurant based out of Ohio. Primarily in the East Coast and Mid West. I’ve only seen them in Florida. They promote their food as Farm Fresh Goodness. The founder of the company, Bob Evans owned a farm in Ohio. Raised his family there eventually turning it into a restaurant. The farm is now a historic attraction where visitors can visit.
With that being said I’ve always loved Bob Evans and couldn’t leave Florida without stopping here for breakfast. I got the Farmer’s Choice breakfast which comes two eggs and your choice of a breakfast meat. You either get a crêpe, pancakes, or french toast. I chose a strawberry banana crêpe. The crêpe was so good. Filled with a cream cream cheese based with strawberry and banana. I got my eggs over medium. The eggs were so good. You could taste the freshness. They are cooked to order and you can tell. My husband and kids, I think they got french toast and pancakes, but they all sure tore up the eggs.

Breakfast was a huge disappointment! Coffee bitter and not hot, eggs over easy were hard, bacon fatty and limp, pancakes were ok. Food, quality and taste lacking. Complained to manager and all he did was deduct a $ 1 from the bill when we told him we didn’t want replacement eggs. Where on the menu can you get eggs for a $ 1? Answer: no where! Don’t waist your money go to IHOP.

Just what I would have suspected except I did not expect the tummy troubles. I took my daughter there for her 9^th birthday breakfast.. it was good. It took 40 min for 4 meals to show. The server was amazing. My daughter got a free Sunday for her birthday. They also sang. It was decent in all. #postingdiva #DivaDoesReviews

Bob Evans makes a great brown sausage gravy and biscuits. I’ve been going there for over 10 years and it’s always been made that way. Salads are outstanding, very crisp and generous. The smell of the freshly baked breads is wonderful as you walk in the door.

This was my first Bob Evans experience and unfortunately my last. I am new to this area and wanted to try a nice home cooked breakfast. I’ve seen these all over so I thought why not. I go inside with a friend and there is maybe 5 couples in the entire restaurant and it took almost 15 minutes to be helped. Then I got the biscuits n gravy and the gravy was brown gravy. Ive never had brown before so I thought it was a Florida thing. It tasted like turkey and said never again. I told the waitress and she didn’t know what kind was suppose to go on biscuits. I said Ive always had the white gravy. She didn’t offer to give me white gravy or redo it. she said she wasn’t sure and walked off.

OMG — What is that amazing aroma? I am getting intoxicated by it and need to taste whatever that is — STAT!
Just so happens that this amazing smell was fresh banana nut bread that was being baked. It just does not seem fair — almost as if they purposely pump the smell out by the entrance so you become bread zombies and must obey it’s command to buy a loaf on the way out.
I like coming to Bob Evans when I visit my sister and brother in law here. As I had just arrived around 7:30 after driving over from a convention in Orlando we were all hungry and wanted a quick dinner so we swung over to this location. I enjoy the down home feel and comfort food that is served here. Nothing complicated or high end, just solid basic meals. These restaurants are decorated in what I call country farm style, and the waitresses are usually very nice.
Ordered the grilled salmon plate with glazed bbq sauce on the side, baked potato, and mixed steamed vegetables. Came with two slices of that terrific smelling bread and it did taste wonderful. Moist, nutty, banana flavored goodness. As usual, the meal I ordered was cooked just right and filled me up. Free refills on iced tea too. Sis ordered the same, and her husband got a burger and fries. Both were solid.
As waitress came by to hand off our bill she asked if we wanted anything else. Zombies replied by grunting and pointing to the banana bread. Exited with two loaves! Can’t wait to have it with morning coffee!
