Bob Evans

Been here two years ago and again today service hasn’t changed nor has food, always friendly staff and food good has always been my stop of choice specially now since my travels picking back up.

Very consistent quality food and service. My husband and I have eaten to go orders from here several times throughout the week while staying at the hotel across the street. The food is so delicious that I can’t say no. I recommend the onion petals and the chicken soup. Consistent with the Bob Evans brand. I very much enjoyed the convenience and the food at this location.

This has got to be the worst Bob Evans in the country. Starting from the assistant manager Dustin Anderson to the GM Barbara even the district manager is incompetent. The worst food ever and the service is just as terrible. I wouldn’t recommend this location to my worst enemy. I hope that whoever reads thid thinks very hard before eating at this restaurant in the future.

Screwed up my order. Ran out of fish and didn’t tell me. Let me wait for the rest of my food then said” oh we don’t have any fish do you want something else?” Thanks a lot. Everything’s waiting now for a replacement order getting cold. Been here 20 minutes and I ordered 20 minutes ahead. I’m not coming back!

In order for me to leave a one-​star review, a place has to either be filthy, or the service so bad that it merits the worst rating. It was clean, and the waitress was friendly, but those are the only attributes. While I can’t give this place a 1, read this review as a weak 2.
I was in Springfield for three days, and noticed the Bob Evans across the street from the hotel I was staying in. In driving around town, I noticed quite a few Bob Evans trucks. There was some sort of truck yard full of their trailers. I’m not sure if this is their headquarters, but there was quite a bit of their presence in the area. When leaving the hotel on the third day, I figured that there had to be some super fresh good food here; I decided to have lunch at the restaurant.
I ordered a turkey bacon melt — minus the bacon, and a bowl of their chicken noodle soup. Neither was impressive. I was stunned when the soup came — there was no visible liquid in the soup. It was a bowl full of damp noodles and chicken chunks. My first instinct was to send it back, but what can you do when all of the water is gone from a soup? «Hey, tell the cook to pour some water on this soup???» They served it this way. It’s not like they didn’t see that there’s no broth in the soup. I decided to go with it. It was tasty, but I didn’t want a bowl of noodles; I wanted chicken noodle soup.
As for the turkey melt, well, it’s not like there was a generous amount of turkey, but worse than that was the cheese. When you buy cheese in the grocery store, you can buy a package of the really, really, cheap stuff for like, $ 1.89 for 24 slices, or you can buy the good deli cheese. The cheese on my turkey sandwich must have been the worst quality artificially colored and flavored pasteurized processed cheese product that is commercially available — exposed for its quality because it wasn’t even fully melted. An unbelievably poor quality product in a town where one should expect some pride in what they seve.
Perhaps Bob Evans does a better job at breakfast since it sells breakfast sausage, nationally. But in a world where we have Jason’s Deli and Panera Bread, this poor quality of food is unacceptable. I’ll plant my butt in a Denny’s or an IHOP before I’ll ever go to a Bob Evans again. On this occasion, I’m sure I would have found better food at the neighboring Cracker Barrel.
On the way out, I stopped to look at the photo on the wall of (evidently) the original founder of the chain. The original Mr. Bob Evans could not be proud of this food. I’d bet my Crown Jewels that this is a typical story where the original family is no longer involved in the daily operation of the «family» business. Waffle House is even better than this — scattered and smothered as it is. Based on my visit here, in their home territory, I’m calling Bob Evans the WORST RESTAURANT CHAIN IN AMERICA! This place sets a new low for restaurant chains.

Good food, great service. The food always comes out quick and it is a reliable staple for the area.

I visited this Bob Evans for breakfast and got the basic sausage links, scrambled eggs home fries and toast with a cup of coffee — I think it was called the «Good Morning America Get Your Butt Out of Bed and Have Some Greasy Fried Food Breakfast» or something like that.
It’s in a great location just off of I-​70.
Service was OK, nothing special as my waitress was pleasant enough and did her job perfunctorily. (Been dying to use that word in a review).
The food though, well, it wasn’t bad. I’ve seen this before at Bob Evans and I’m just not finding it has much flavor. Are my taste buds jaded? Are they burned out from eating too much Thai and Schezuan? I’m stumped. It just seems bland anymore.
I’d go back there again but it’s not at the top of my list of places to go back to.

Awesome Bob Evans location. Delicious and hot breakfast with very good service. Our server even offered to fill us up to-​go cups of coffee (as the coffee is bottomless) before we hit the road. I’ve never heard of that before — it was great!

Springfield, Ohio. I love Bob Evans, but this is my favorite. The service is excellent! The food is fresh.

This location can be a hit or miss depending on who you get as a server. But it’s usually a hit. What’s great about Bob Evans is that you can always rely on them. The food is always good no matter which one you go too. I mean, it’s not fantastic, it’s just good, safe food. This is also one of the updated location, I know the restaurants are all being updated, and this is one of them.
The general manager that works during is a really nice guy too. He’s probably one of the friendliest managers I have encountered at any restaurant. As I said before it depends on service, sometimes I have a really friendly server, other times I get someone who acts like they hate life.
