A friend and I had breakfast here last week. My inlet was suppose to be tomato free, but was loaded with tomatoes. I was given another one, but by that time my friend was finished eating. My biggest issue was with their hash browns. They were brown all right. Totally cooked beyond recognition of any type of potato. They were hard and dry, kind of like pine needles. Bob Evans should visit Denny's or Wafflehouse and see hash browns should be prepared.

Bob Evans doesn't seem to get a lot of love in the land of Eat N Park. However, this location has become by go-to choice when it comes down to picking between the two. I've had nothing but great service and food here every time I have visited. Let me start by saying that I think their chicken noodle soup is every bit as good as Eat N Park's. It has the same big noodles and a nice broth that isn't too salty with nice pieces of chicken and veggies floatin' around in there like some tasty food boats takin' it easy with the noddles. You must have this soup. Take some home if you like. The hamburger I had here was tasty. It's one of those burgers where you can still taste the beef as well as the condiments on top. To me, this is always a sign of a good burger. Plus, and this is a big plus, the bacon that as on my burger was actually crisp, not that lame limp style. Over at Eat N Park, I usually get a Superburger which is still ginchy, don't get me wrong, but to my tastebuds their other burger offerings don't compare. And their fries certainly don't, either. Bob Evans may be using a frozen brand, but again the taste is the proof in the pudding, as it were. From the breakfast menu, I have enjoyed the biscuits and gravy with a side of sausage as well as strawberry crepes. If you're familiar with anything from Bob Evans, it may as well be the biscuits and gravy, as they sell their frozen product of it like hotcakes in the local supermarkets. The gravy is tasty, again not too salty and thick enough the either pour over or dunk your biscuits into without too much runoff. Sort of like the consistency of the gravy over at Cracker Barrel. The crepes are something to behold. As stated, I got the strawberry version, but they also serve them with a blueberry sauce. They're nice and light with a cream cheese filling that's the perfect amount. Again, nothing gets overwhelming in the flavor department here. The strawberry sauce and whipped cream are absolutely fantastico. As for the sides of sausage I have enjoyed here, I usually go with the patty version. The slices are nice and big and thick, to boot. Not too salty, just right. I've also had the Wildfire Chicken Salad here. It sounds like it would be something spice, but it's basically a fried chicken breast that's been spun in some sweet bbq sauce with some tasty tortilla strips and the usual assortment of veggies and cheeses on top. It's darned tasty as well. As for the service, the manager on duty is always stopping by tables to see how the guests are enjoying their food and the waitresses are always on point. Never had an issue with either. This location is practically spotless and the bathrooms have always been nice and clean when I've used them. Honestly, I'm not sure when this place is ever crowded. I usually go at dinner time, and there's always plenty of parking and seating at that time. Perhaps in the morning it's busier. Whatever the case, this Bob Evans is great all around based on my experience and I would highly suggest it to anyone who's in town and is looking for something other than Eat N Park across the street, and definitely for those who might not even be able to get in over there at times when it's overly crowded, which isn't a rarity.

Table for 5 of us. Mold on the rye bread served to my mother. Instead of removing the one meal from the receipt, we were offered a limited amount of "to go items". Last time we will be here.

I know this is Bob Evan's. I'd be comparing to the restaurants alike (e.g. Eat N' Park, Denny's etc.) I used to enjoy their breakfast. Their sausage is solid, the biscuits are great. If I had to pick a chain restaurant to eat breakfast on the road, Bob Evan's was my go to. But this location kind of ruined it for me. The worst service ever. I was sat down immediately, but had to wait about 10min for a waitress to approach our table to see if we wanted a drink. Food was cold by the time it showed up. But i don't dare send any food back at a restaurant like this. So I suffered through the cold brakfast. Well, the waitress never came back and see how our food was. And unfortunately this wasn't an isolated incident. Another time, I was not feeling well, and wanted to pick up some chicken noodle soup to go. I walked in, and stood there for 5-7 min before I finally grabbed one of the waitresses and asked "excuse me, does anyone work here????" I don't expect too much from Bob Evan's, but this one is one of the worst when it comes to the services. If you want breakfast, go across the street to Central Diner. Much better food with excellent service.

We went here yesterday around 4 o'clock. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We ordered breakfast, came out very fast! The sausage is always a little undercooked to my liking and I don't like that our plates were extremely hot, I assume it was sitting in the window too long under the heat lamp. When we left I seen more food sitting in the window, that's the only thing that bothered me here. Other than that the service and food was awesome! I'll be back!

With some many great places to eat breakfast in Pittsburgh, I can believe we had to end up here. However, we were in RTC, and we couldn't find anything open until lunchtime. The menu sucks. They keep "reinventing" it, but it's the same. The food is so bland, and it's often not even cooked well. If you take a look at the ingredients, it's obviously they add "flavor" to it in the form of lots of additives. Fresh from the farm? I think not. It appears that this particular store is undergoing a renovation of at least the front of the store soon, but when we visited, it hadn't started yet. It definitely needs it. Don't know if it will help. Seriously people, Eat n Park is considerably better with fresh, local ingredients and dollars that support our local economy. If you're going diner, go elsewhere.

So Dennys, I mean Eat n' Park, I mean Bob Evans was okay. My mentor treated me out to lunch here. So I can forgive the bland food in exchange for spending time with someone I care for. I got a laugh out of the elderly hostess when she said, " I'm the only one working today!" She sounded so down trodden and very unhappy. I was caught of guard by such a negative tone coming from someone who was so tiny and maternal looking. I wished in that instance that I could have afforded to send her on a much needed vacation. However my salary doesn't permit for such things so instead I just tried to be as little of a fuss as I could while dining. I got the fish. Bob Evan's only fish offering was baked cod. The baked cod was DRY, even after squirting massive amounts of fresh lemon juice on the little filet it just couldn't be resuscitated. My baked cod came with a side of brocoli which was visibly scorched and it didn't go down easy. My meal was also served with my choice of bread. I got the pumpkin bread I was feeling seasonal and it was delicious warm and pillowly soft. However in the future I'll just eat my Bob' Evans at home in the form of brown sugar sausage links.

Friendliest hardest working staff I have ever seen! The food is just like any other breakfast place around here (eat n park) so it's not much to brag about. However, the servers there are wonderful. They really know how to take care of their customers!

Holy Toledo Large Menu. While Deny's and Eat N' Park have shrunk their menus in a cost cutting effort to raise their profit margins, Bob Evans still maintains one of the largest menus I have seen in a really long time. Thankfully out waitress was very patient since it took me close to 10 minutes before I was able to pick something to eat. During this visit we ordered: Stuffed Garlic Mushrooms, Sausage & Gravy Biscuit Bowl, Chicken Chipotle Sandwhich. All of it was good in both taste and quality. The food was served on time and still hot from being cooked. Perhaps my only complaint in this department would be the size of the sides wasn't as large as in the pictures, but even that is a small hang-up. I'll have to agree with DW, the onion petals did leave something to be desired. But the fried mushrooms more than made up for it in the guilty fried food department. I do definitely want to come back. There's plenty of other plates to try and I don't get to go to Bob Evan's all that often, so something new every time seems like an awesome prospect.

I had at first tried to come here for a job but decided to go elsewhere as I needed my weekends. But when I first came here to eat, it was a pleasure. I have never been around a staff who is so at home and friendly. I've been here multiple times. Only one time have I had an issue with food delivery time and that is because it was unusually busy. The menu is the same the majority of the time, but I don't mind. My young taste buds can taste the flavors just fine. There is an older woman who works there that has been my waitress multiple times that I would love to give here a generous tip but never have the money to. She is always smiling and friendly, always taking into consideration any issues we have(which hasn't been much aside from one time where the hot chocolate tasted like muted water) and fixed the problem immediately. We are served within a few minutes of being seated and our food is brought out in a decent amount of time and it tastes pretty darn good to me. I suggest the sausage gravy and biscuit plate. Its lovely on a cold day with a nice cup of hot chocolate with a nice heap of whipped cream! The host who checked me out was very nice as well. One of the most recent trips that I've gone on I had a young man, about my age, check me out. He was very friendly, asked how the food was, if there was anything else he could help me with, seeming very genuine, and wished me a good day. Its hard to see people my age(early 20's) who are honestly happy or can perceive happiness at their jobs the way he did. Praise for him. By the way, the strawberry supreme pie, EXCELLENT!

Bob's got himself one large, country-wide menu; I'll say that much. Not being enthusiastic about coming here, I went with one of their Big Farm Burgers; The Three-Cheese Burger. You get "American, Monterey-Jack and shredded cheddar, green leaf lettuce, tomato, Claussen pickles and red onion." It wasn't a bad burger but would run and hide somewhere if a Tessaro's burger stomped into the room. You could almost detect that the patty had been frozen. Almost. They do something to it to disguise the fact. I did dig the miniature flag they stuck in the middle of it, however. I was allowed to sub onion petals for fries, and I guess I wouldn't have missed much had I followed protocol. Yellow, crunchy, and devoid of taste they were. BE does make a pretty passable cole slaw as well as a fine, tart lemonade and a solid cherry cobbler a la mode, which our ditzy, young waitress forgot to heat for me. Said server also forgot mayo for my burger, and kept apologizing for being forgetful, going on to explain that she "keeps messing up orders 'cause it's like, my first day back after 3 weeks and stuff." Methinks she had one more wild time last night and was still recuperating from it. I'll be kind and give 'em a solid 3 stars. Aside from the onion petals, nothing I had was awful, and our cute, flaky server was amusing enough to help make the meal fun. 2 gift cards down, 2 to go. Outback and Spaghetti Warehouse, here we come. Chains, chains pulling me down... youtube.com/watch?v=mn9Y…

Bad service- waited 25 min at table before server acknowledged us after being sad by a disgruntled hostess... Then waited 45 min for our salad and sandwiches to arrive- couldn't understand it as the restaurant had only one other table of customers to tend to. (Must be saying something there since it was 5:30 pm on a weekend). Just a bad experience overall with not so tasty food and a lot of waiting...long waiting to get refills, waiting for our meals, waiting for our check, and waiting for someone to come to the register to pay. We had planned to go catch a movie after our meal but missed a 7pm showing due to slow overall service.

What I hate, they have weak coffee and the eggs are runny. But the food is always hot and the wait staff is always nice. Its the same from city to city the food and the service.
