Bob evans is one of the best breakfast chains I've ever had. the prices are fairly low with regular escapes from $6 to $12. the summer specialties are even lower and offer more variety. I have the Border Omelette and the Strawberry Baker. the omelette was really nice and fluffy with a kick from the jalapenos. it came with a side of hashbrowns. the strawberry was beautiful and $6.99 with an breakfast meat and a bowl. it was sweet and thick with brioche as broth and a sweet strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries. it's noisy because it's busy, but that's typical of an breakfast place imo. I would definitely go back here!

Terrible experience. we went on a Saturday at 1 o'clock and we had the worst experience. the waitresses were negligent and did not give us our side with our food. I ordered the avocado bowl and they put Hollandaise sauce on them instead of the Zilantro-Calc sauce that should have it and it made me sick. No one greeted us when we actually came, we were ignored until one of the waiters noticed that we were awhile standing. I will not come back to this unfriendly and lazy servant bob evans ever again.

It took us half an hour before we were finally served our dinner. We arrived at around 6:15, placed our order, and were eventually served a plate of cookies and jelly after being told that our dinner was on its way. I started to think that maybe we had forgotten to place our order. However, at around 7:45, we were finally served our three simple meals - two chicken strips with fries and a strawberry salad with potato soup. I'm not the greatest cook, but I'm pretty sure I could have made those meals in less than 30 minutes, especially given that I used to work in a restaurant with a steady flow of customers that didn't seem to be short-staffed. The restaurant was not extremely busy at any point during our visit. I was quite disappointed that my mother and I chose this place to celebrate my son's 21st birthday.

I am blown away by the change at this Bob Evans location! It was truly amazing. Our server, Liz, was incredibly friendly and efficient. She wasn't the only one - the entire team worked together, supporting one another to ensure all customers were well taken care of. The food was also delicious.

During our travels, we stopped at this restaurant for breakfast. The food was delicious and served promptly. The service was exceptional with our server, Shelly (or Michelle?), providing perfect attention to our needs. It was a great way to begin our vacation.
