    Chicken Breast Dinner at Bob Evans Adrian
    Mark K.

    The grade card: Location and Parking - A- Facility and Ambiance - C+ Service - A (earlier in the day), C- (later in the day) Quality of Food - A (breakfast fare), C+ (fare other than breakfast), C- (coffee) Originality and Appeal - C Prices - C Value (quality ÷ cost) - B+ (breakfast), C- (other than breakfast) The Review: I'm not much on traditional Midwestern American food but there are a few things I do like about it. I had Midwest meat-and-potatoes cooking every day for the first 18 years of my life, so I've had, and exceeded, my quota. But many are comfortable in that food space. Bob Evans pulls off this style about as well as any restaurant can. But it's basically like having a decent house in a bad neighborhood...the appeal is limited. And the Adrian location actually epitomizes both my favorite and least favorite aspects of this chain. This restaurant is conveniently located near the intersection of US 223 and MI 52 (S. Main St.) in the major commercial area for Adrian. It is easy to find and the parking is relatively abundant. It can get crowded at times as it has evolved into largely catering to an older demographic, toward which Adrian's population is skewed. If you're eating alone and/or if you're in a hurry, one tip is that there is a counter available where you can usually find a seat. My favorite meal at BE is unquestionably breakfast. They have several great options, so much so that I often order breakfast food when we go there for dinner. The most recent thing I tried was the Goat Cheese Veggie Omelet. Accompanied by toast and home fries, the portion was right - sized and it turned out to be quite satisfying. I will note, however, that I make a distinction between feta and goat cheese. I realize that putting items like these on an omelet is flirting with culinary ethnicity, and that is not BE's specialty. But it appeared that it was feta cheese that topped what I received, even though goat cheese was specified in the name of the dish. Although I like the latter a bit more than the former, my omelet was still to my liking. It's also worth noting that their coffee is average at best. It's basically Bunn coffee-maker java. As a friend of mine from Italy would say, it's "coffee water". That's disappointing for a place that otherwise offers stellar breakfast fare. Lunch and dinner options here are OK, but nothing special in my opinion. However, it really depends on what you like. Having said that, I will say that they do chicken very well and their potato crusted flounder is decent. But my favorite dinner there is their Wild Fire Chicken Salad. In the words of Sheldon Cooper, it's "zing-gy". The service at this location is inconsistent. That's sometimes reflected as soon as you walk in the door as about one in every two or three times we've visited, no one has been at the front to greet and seat. Sometimes it takes a minute or two even if it's not busy and there is an abundance of open tables. I'll note that the morning crew is their all-star lineup. Their best servers work the breakfast shift as do their best kitchen staff and management. Service at dinner, by contrast, can be hit or miss. On our recent visit at dinner time (we had a gift card to use), the service was...OK. But that's an improvement from what I've experienced during evening hours in the past at this establishment. The cost of eating at BE has taken a small hike in recent times, as has everything else. Whether it's breakfast or lunch or dinner, it's tough to get out of there for under $10 per person after food, drink, tax and tip. The last trip was about $15 per person. That's not unreasonable these days for any place not named Taco Bell or McDonald's but, to be honest, the value for me is marginal (at least at dinner time). One tip is that, if you want to save a couple of bucks per person, just get water to drink. I don't find their standard drinks (coffee and soda) worthwhile, except perhaps the lemonade and iced tea. In general, I can sum this up by saying that BE brings back childhood memories for me. But the memories from that particular part of my brain are not necessarily fond ones. I had great parents but their taste in food was not among the things I admired most about them. I do not need to be coerced to go to BE for breakfast. Otherwise, however, any other visit is either by default (Adrian is not a mecca for great food) or is a compromise when eating with others. In the grand scheme of things, it's an OK choice and I can make do.

    Well, we've been sitting at Bob Evans for 20 minutes waiting for breakfast. I guess the waitress is a little upset because I wanted a strawberry lemonade and she misunderstood what I said so now my food is sitting under the heat lamp on the counter because she is being rude. Clearly, it's not that busy tables are

    My wife and I visited for the first time tonight. We had no real expectations, and often, that is a…read moregood thing. She had received a gift card, which we wanted to use, and it had been a rough day, with [brief description of the rough day]. But I will get to that in a minute. If you're expecting a typical martini bar and tapas place, you might want to reconsider. This place is all about its unique charm, and the 'regulars' wouldn't have it any other way. There's a distinct 'locals vibe' here, and in the summer, you might even spot a few Harleys parked outside. It's not about meeting your expectations, it's about creating a sense of community. And it was fun! Sometimes, there is live music; on other nights, there is a DJ; and on Thursdays, it is Karaoke night. And tonight being Thursday, the Karaoke performances were enthusiastic if not... Well, they were enthusiastic!! *smile* Mae (May?) was a kind and friendly server who did everything possible to make our visit a good experience. The food is good, "bar-style," and the drink options are plentiful. We met Steve (owner? or manager?). He is a very nice guy. He answered a few questions for us and made us feel welcome. In the future, he might work the place over into a steakhouse type of restaurant and Adrian REALLY could use one of these downtown. But the star of the show is Kujo! The bar dog. Now wait, a dog in a bar...yes, Kujo is a certified service/therapy dog. By law, he goes anywhere his human takes him. SUPER friendly and remarkably gentle, I would return to this place just to visit the dog! But I will try a burger next time.

    They have FANTASTIC burgers! I use to hang out there a lot a while back. When they have live…read more music, that's the place to be.
