Very slow service

Very slow service. Cold food. Health Dept was there so we were told they couldn't go back and just warn up our food, they had to make it again. It was still cold. Biscuits didn't taste like before. Then we were charged for extra gravy, when in fact we did not get extra Gravy. Not enough help. Older ladies have to bus their own tables and then forgetting to wipe the tables off. Our table was dirty when we were seated. We felt like we were in the way and not valued as a customer.

Food Quality Was Poor, Service Unwelcoming

I was very hungry, and visited the Bob Evans #10 in Kettering. I ordered the chicken fried steak to eat-in, and the turkey dinner for carryout. The server's face was hostile, but she wasn't rude, just unfriendly. I have seen that face many times in the Jim Crow south. A face that says, "You don't belong here." My steak was more like a thin, hard fried fritter, and the usually wonderful rolls were cold and dry, clearly old. I later ate the turkey, which included two thin slices of turkey. I had searched online which showed 3 slices of turkey so was disappointed. I had two scoops of dressing, for such a small serving of meat. It was okay, though, except for the hard rolls. Curious, I wanted to try another Bob Evans closer to home for comparison, #522. I ordered the exact same meal. I was pleased to receive the meaty chicken fried steak, and soft, hot, tasty rolls I was accustomed to at their restaurants. The turkey dinner however, also had only two thin slices of turkey, and the turkey was dry and hard, so is not a good value, even for the Dinner Bell menu of $8.99. I will not return to the #10 restaurant in Kettering as I left there feeling unwelcome. Nevertheless, I left the hostile server a generous tip, greater than 15%. She never smiled, never checked back to see if I needed anything else. When a group of several older white females came in the server was friendly to them and all smiles. I got her message.

Bobby Evans has dropped their quality.

I am not sure if the stuffing was old but it tasted like cardboard. The rolls were so dry that two thirds of it crumpled, leaving a tiny inner bread pocket. The portions have dropped. All together, it sucked. Will we go back, I don't know. I understand the need for profit but when you reduce portions and increase price. That pisses off even an old liberal.

I placed an order on line at the Sidney Bob Evans and when I got home, I was missing the green beans and carrots with my meal, The 2 chicken breasts were shriveled up and tough. I was very disappointed and did not want to make the return trip to the restaurant. I doubt that I will be visiting this restaurant in the future.

Ordered a delivery order

Ordered a delivery order, once my food got here food was cold, I had asked for biscuits instead of their disgusting yeast tasting rolls but they didn’t care to read the note for the difference which in my opinion they should have an option on the app to switch it since your able to pick which one you want when you eat in… then ordered a slice of chocolate cake but instead of sending me the cake I ordered they sent me 2 cups of rotten fruit. When I called to complain and get a refund on my order the lady answering the phone did quickly oblige with that request but hung up before confirming or taking my information. This experience is deeply disappointing since the last few times we actually have ordered from bob Evans was good, but this experience has turned me off from ordering from you guys anytime soon!

Missing food out of pick up order

Missing food out of pick up order, called when we got home and were told we could come back and pick it up they would not do a credit. Yes so lets drive another 20 minutes while all of the other food sits. Have never had a good experience at the Mason store decided to give it one more try. Well it's the last time. The rest of the food was mediocre.

The other day I ordered the steak salad. The food was so bad I couldn’t eat it. I am attaching a photograph of unfinished food. The steak was overcooked or if it was a meat, I could not eat something hard.

Went and did our regular family breakfast today in Champaign, food was just plain horrible!!! Waitress was great. Note I cook in a restaurant and this was just not exceptional, my bun had so much butter in it, basically fell apart trying to pick it up. Bacon was raw and onion rings hard as a rock!!! We will not be back

So we are at bob eve and right now and the waitresses are nice so yes I left a tip but the food o did complain and I’m not a picket eater at all. I didn’t eat anything and they asked boxes decline said no it’s not very good at all and didn’t ask if I’d like half off or a coupon for another meal nothing. Sorry but u seen my10 year old and I both neither of us ate anything obviously it wasn’t good the corn tasted so gross the chicken was nasty also and seemed under cooked but it’s all good . I see why they have a low star rating.

On 7/22/2024 @ 10:15am I placed an order for delivery for a cost of $18.09. The employee that took the order ALLEGEDLY confirmed that it would've been delivered after charging my credit card for $18.09 she then says that they(Bob Evans) cannot delivery to the address given to them and wouldn't compromise with Uber eats to delivery it either. So the manager on deck said he would reverse the payment charged and the $18.09 would be credited back on my card within 7- 10 business days. Well here it is 2wks (14) days and it still hasn't been returned to my account. My nxt step will be to file a dispute with my credit card bank and then contact Bob Evans corporate office for condoning this type of action from it's franchise and employees. I'm also going to screen shot this message and post it on social media and expose this type BS going on at store #057 and let the American people know not to come to this store and never order for delivery from this restaurant etc etc. I'm retired and I will post this everyday until I'm compensated my $18.09 back ..

Bring back the original steak dinner. The steak tips are not as good. We haven't been back since they changed the menu.

Went to Bob Evans for the last time…

Went to Bob Evans for the last time today. It was 11 o’clock on a Monday and there were only about five people in the entire place who had already been waited on and were eating. Despite that, it took over five minutes for the hostess to come over and seat us. I told her I wanted a booth and she took us to a table. I repeated that I wanted a booth so she moved us. Then we waited for over 10 minutes and still no one came to ask what we wanted to drink. A few minutes after another two couples were seated. Within minutes, they had waitresses who took their order and we still had not seen a waitress. I flagged down the hostess and told her we had not yet seen a waitress. She went over and told her that we were waiting. A few minutes later, both of them walked past us and neither said ‘I’ll be with you in a minute’. We just walked out at that point. I don’t know how other Bob Evans are but this particular one in Jackson, Michigan has the most awful customer service I have ever had…consistently.

Ever since you bring in the food it's horrible, used to be that one could always count on a good meal at Bob's but not anymore, I have been in many other restaurants and heard people say how bad Bob's is anymore, I can see that Bob's is going to closing soon

Only getting a 1 star because they were open. The rolls were absolutely hard as concrete on my online order...the manager told me that they've had several complaints on the rolls over the last few weeks. This is the problem of the staff for allowing a dozen hard rolls to be sent out of the store..they know this when they put them in the box. This is a very sad practice when this store is barely staying afloat. I am assuming they are selling expired rolls to customers. I asked for a refund and the manager said no...but I could come get more rolls...then why wasn't I given good rolls in the first place lady?

The only reason I came to Bob Evans for years was the big fish dinner. This year that all went away. Now its three little piece that came right out the Gorden's bag. I didnt think you could cut fish that thin. Nothing but batter. Wifes pot roast was also smaller. I can get better food at my VFW. Service was good.

We have gone a number of times to the Bob Evans restaurant in Temple Terrace, In Tampa #469. Our experience there has always been excellent, the food is always very good, it is always very clean and the staff is always very nice. They have an excellent supervisor, Christine Who does an excellent job with the staff and with the quality of the place. Five star in my book
