I took my first ever trip to a Bob Evans on Saturday night and I'm extremely disappointed that it took so long. My girlfriend and I were driving around trying to decide on what to eat when we randomly said "screw it" and pulled into this Bob Evans location. When we walked in I kind of figured it would be a mixture of Cracker Barrel and Denny's and boy was I wrong. When we walked in we were treated right away and seated after a minute or two. Our waitress was super friendly the entire night, very informative, and as helpful as a waitress could be. The menu here is massive and offers pretty much every kind of comfort food you could possibly want. I ended up going with the dinner deal which gives you a soup/salad, bread, dinner, and desert for the price of the meal and a few extra dollars. I ended up ordering the chicken fried steak, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, with chicken soup, a roll, and a chocolate chip cookie. The chicken fried steak blew my expectations far more then I could of imagined. The steak was delicious, juicy, and way better then it should of been. The breading and gravy were both top notch as well. The sides were 50/50 ad the mashed potatoes were delicious and the macaroni and cheese was, well, it was cold. I didn't hate the actual mac and cheese but it was definitely undercooked. The soup and the roll were also very good and also gets a thumbs up from me. Finally, the cookie was pretty big, pretty tasty, and left me desiring even more cookies. Overall, I fell in love with Bob Evans on Saturday night and I can't wait to come back. read more

So being from Canada, I had an American friend tell me I must check out Bob Evans especially for their sausage. I have to say this restaurant is a great place for good old comfort food but I was quite disappointed in their service. They forgot my side order of macroni and cheese and though they seemed a bit short staffed, they could have been more quicker and it was difficult to get a waiter's attention. The food is less to be desired I found and it was quite rich and heavy. Next time, I probably need to stick to their breakfast dishes which they seem more known for. read more

Great eats, mainly breakfast and burgers if your feeling warm and hungry. I personally get the homestead farmer!

Bob Evans has become one of our favorite places to eat and get "to go" meals. The food is always down home good cook'n with something for all our picky eaters; and they all love it and ask to have it again. The pot roast and pot roast sandwich is truly amazing! However, you really can't go wrong with anything...burgers, salads, soups, turkey meal, country friend steak, kid's meals, etc....we've tried a lot of meals and they are all exceptionally good. We pretty much never have to wait when we eat at the restaurant and service is friendly. We also really love the family meal take out options. Says it feeds 6-8 and our family of 5 can easily eat two full meals on one family meal. read more

Disappointing service was way slow and the food was as good as before. Only positive was that the Seaver was at least polite.

Wonderful staff! They were slammed on Labor Day for breakfast, and they miraculously were still very attentive to customer's' needs and were so friendly and kind! Highly recommend! read more

What a wonderful breakfast! The. Staff was friendly and the manager was lending a hand where needed! ! We will go again!

Of course, I got the biscuits and sausage gravy! That was the easy part. My indecisive self settled on the sirloin steak and eggs. Steak, medium. Eggs, over easy. I suppose it was my first time ordering steak and eggs here because I was completely surprised by how perfectly it was cooked. The steak was tender and dissolved on the tongue. I had to leave one bite for the end of my meal to imprint the perfection into my memory. I came in hangry, and leaving in content. read more

Thank evans we have better options than this national chain, within WNY. I was here at Bob Evans in 2011 for the first time and it was the first one I'd been to. I've since been to a few others and I was last here in Spring 2014 because someone insisted. I usually get one of the dinners and am never impressed. It tastes like frozen dinners really. Bob Evans is just another chain, I found out the hard way. It might be a step above IHOP or Perkins, but it's really the same thing. It prides itself on being fresh and farm-to-table but it's a national mega-chain with franchised locations at every exit off Ohio interstates... I find it ridiculous really. Anyway, the meal was okay... just okay... it was perhaps a little better than Denny's and IHOP, but not much. Luckily, I was splitting something with a college friend and they seemed to like it (there is no accounting for taste) so I didn't even have to eat much. read more

Three of us came in on a Tuesday night for dinner. We were seated immediately. They have an option to upgrade your dinner to 3-course for $2. I had the cheddar and potato soup, pot roast dinner and strawberry supreme pie for dessert. Of course, they also give you bread. It was way too much to actually eat. My dad got the same as I did with a different pie choice. My husband got some crispy chicken salad. We all left very satisfied for $40 before tip. Just what we were liking for this night. Thank you! read more

I love that we have a Bob Evans in New York. Now I can share the taste of the south with my Yankee friends. We used to eat there all the time in Florida (the old people there LOVE it), but it's great for families too. In fact, when my daughter turned 11, we let her pick where she wanted to eat dinner. Of course, I knew it would be Chuck E Cheese or some pizza place. Nope. She wanted to dine with her 70-year-old friends at Bob Evans. She loved the kids' meals and fun straws. She's 18 now and still likes to go, but it's more for the dessert. The breakfast at Bob Evans is my favorite reason to go, especially if I get there early enough for their oatmeal. They have healthier options or the "harden your arteries" variety of breakfasts. Really, something for everyone! read more

The past tine I went here for breakfast I had the French toast with some eggs, bacon and hash browns. The eggs where cooked awfully and where cold by the time I got them. They bacon was so chewy I could not even eat it. The hash browns where overdone. The French toast was as well. Thankfully the cost of my dish was taken off. I will never return to this restaurant. read more

Food - 4 Price - 5 (We only go using discounts from either Shopular or Retailmenot) Ambiance - 4 Service - 4 Simply put, they have always had really good food here. The biscuits are great and at this location they cook your food to perfection. I am actually shocked every time. If for some reason you have never been here you should give them a try. I know its a chain but some chains are great. And, the put out consistently good food. PS. Tuesday is family night and kids eat free. read more

Bob Evans is a good spot for breakfast. The food is average. I'm not a huge breakfast person so it's hard for me to judge what's good and what isn't. Prices are good too. However today, we waited for ten minutes which was fine. Our names were called and they took a couple that complained even though they called our names? It was annoying but I got over it. When we went to our table, the floor was disgusting with food and silverware. I couldn't believe they didn't clean it before sitting us there. It was embarrassing and sort of gross. Our waitress was ditzy as well. I asked for butter and it took her 10 minutes to bring it back.... read more

Love this place! Makes olive garden look like a dump. I love the chicken fried steak. Best place to eat

Sorry - first time ordering here in about 20 years. Came here in the end of the 90's for breakfast as I was overnighting in the Motel behind the restaurant. Twas a very good and very overpriced meal but know complaints. So Friday night I figure I try a delivery while watching game. Given: The location is less 1 mile down the rd. The taxes, fees, delivery charge and 20% tip were very reasonable as compared to other delivery outfits and the menu was extensive and fairly priced. Ordered the Slow-Roasted Turkey & Dressing dinner and the Great Alaskan Cod dinner. - I know it's late but it's Friday and while I'm considering purchasing a full Thanksgiving day meal I figure I check it out. Good: Was on time with an average pickup time ( wasn't cold ). The Turkey dinner was pretty good. No issues here. Bad: The cup of gravy for the turkey was forgotten as was any tarter sauce for the Cod. The " signature " Cole slaw was meh.... Biscuits were over cooked and 3/4 tossed out ( really looking forward to them ). The nail in the meals coffin = The fish was horrible. Cooked in old oil with that off brown color and taste from dirty oil. Fries weren't much better. So I was very disappointed. I'm a fish fry fanatic - this was a 2 / 10 at best. Biscuits, 3/4 slaw, 2/3's fries were tossed out - no lemon, no tarter and burnt Cod. Not even a follow up option to comment Since I can't cook for Turkey day I may still order from here or perhaps just get a pizza Wed night and reheat Thursday for the game. Depressing experience. read more

Stopped here for breakfast. Had the breakfast sampler, it was very good although the potatoes had a slightly burnt or bitter taste but they didn't look burnt. Server was friendly and efficient, good place to stop for breakfast. read more

Trash bro, don't do it! Food was like it had just been sitting in the kitchen, forgot our condiments brought them at the end of our meal didn't give me time to speak only check on us 1 time l was there for an hour and a half total read more

Bleh. I ordered on UE. The food was bland. There was no seasoning on it and they did not include any condiments or utensils. Even if they had, the food only would have been OK. I was really looking forward to this so I'm kind of disappointed. I'm very disappointed. read more

THE GRAVY IS DELICIOUS!! I am not a fan of gravy usually BUT this gravy is GREAT! Sausage pieces inside =)

I have had breakfast deliver from this location a few times now. It is always delicious and accurate. The eggs are prepared very well, the bacon is always crispy and Cinnabon pancakes are delicious! I highly recommend you try this place for breakfast and don't forget about delivery on lazy Sunday mornings! read more

Bizarre and terrible experience. When visiting my mom in the area, we often go to this location as a treat. Went in, ordered up some big breakfasts. The food came, and, wow, how completely disgusting. The potatoes, bacon, eggs, and even bread for the French toast all looked as if they had been made hours before and reheated in puddles of grease. It was absolutely inedible. Several order mistakes. The manager came over, and half assed apologized, but was oddly aggressive and hostile. He gave us the option to get new food or leave. Left the plates with old food swimming in grease sitting in front of us, did not even clear them away. The new food that came was equally disgusting. Under cooked eggs. No one came back to the table to check on us. The manager took thirty percent off the bill. That's it. We paid and left, food uneaten. Shameful. read more

My family has been coming to this establishment for "good enough" breakfasts for the past 6 years. Today was our absolute worst experience... so bad that I've elected to share my experience on Yelp (so you know it has to be bad!) Strike one: We were seated in the normal dining room during a slow Friday afternoon. It took 10 minutes for the assistant manager, not our waitress, to notice us sitting there before inquiring about drinks. Another 5 minutes goes by and boom, drinks. Not bad. Another 10 minutes pass before we finally meet our waitress, who had been standing at the hostess station staring at us the entire time. From the time we walked in the door, it took us 25 minutes to put our order in, receive our drink, and be introduced to our waitress. Strike two: 35 minutes pass. Our 4-year old child is getting restless from not having the "yummy food" we encouraged him to order. The assistant manager comes over and explains that they "had to remake the pancake batter" (again, not our waitress. She's still too busy talking to her fellow employees at the hostess station). The assistant manager explains to our now starving child that "everything will be up in about 3 minutes". Another 15 minutes pass and finally, there's food! But wait... there's more! Both my wife and I had ordered the basted eggs, which came out over medium and fried. Our "fully-loaded" home fries were missing 3 ingredients to make them "fully-loaded". The apple cinnamon pancakes were not only cold with congealed icing, but the middle of the pancakes weren't even fully cooked, giving me a delicious but disturbing dining experience. The sausage links were burnt to the point of not being able to be cut them with a butter knife, and the first coffee refill was offered 40 minutes after we had initially received cup #1... and by "offered", I mean "we had to ask for a refill on cup 1 after 40 minutes". To make amends, they took 20% off of our bill. It's appreciated, but this experience has definitely tarnished their reputation with us and will definitely affect our decision to return in the future. read more

I have always loved Bob Evans. Whenever we are in the USA we like to go here because it is almost always good service, good food, and good prices. This past weekend was our first visit to this particular location and we were really disappointed. Our waitress was so unfriendly, lazy, and impatient. My son ordered the country fried steak and mashed potatoes and she asked him if he wanted the regular order or the three course meal. I asked her what the price difference was and her curt reply was "the prices are on the menu" and then she asked him again if he wanted the regular order or the three course meal. I looked through the menu and couldn't find the price and asked her where in the menu I could find the price of the three course meal. It was clear from her attitude that I was really putting her out. She looked at the menu and told me the price and he ordered the three course meal. After a 40 minute wait, she served us our meal and slapped the bill on the table at the same time. The restaurant wasn't too busy and there were lots of servers waiting on other tables. Something happened to her after that. She became almost nice and friendly. When we finished dinner, we ordered coffee and dessert. My husband thought she was going to turn into a fire breathing dragon at the thought of updating our bill with the coffee and dessert but she didn't! We always leave a 20% tip - more for excellent service, less for not so good service. Her tip was just over 10% and part of me felt a little guilty about that but at the same time I felt she didn't even earn the 10% we gave her. read more

Stopped across the street at the gas station. This restaurant was in a convenient spot. Never been to Bob Evans before. Had a chance to see the previous Yelp reviewer (Amy K.) and was hoping she was wrong. Sadly she was right on. I would describe Bob Evans as a Cracker Barrel/Perkins hybrid. This place definitely has appeal to old people with blue hair. The food quality was ok. Visual appeal was not something important to the cook. It was just slopped onto the plate. Again, for the price, it was alright. No horror story here. The place is solid but not inspired. The floor could have used a good sweeping. I am thinking regular maintenance isn't high on their list priorities either. Over all, a shame. read more

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had a bad experience at this particular Bob Evans. I've eaten there a few dozen times over the past six years. I don't go as often as I used to, since I no longer work nearby, but a couple days ago I stopped early on a weekday. In hardly more time than a Mcbreakfastwitch would have taken, I was eating perfectly prepared food, worth the few dollars more. Just as I remembered, the efficient hostess seats you ("booth or table... how about here?") with a smile, and hands you the menu. Coffee comes fast, and the servers have miraculously never failed to get my order right, even with special requests. I used to have to ask for an extra napkin, but not the last few times. The food came quickly, as usual. (I have been there a few times during the weekend breakfast rush when the service was slower, but it was still handled well.) The servers are excellent. Not pesky, but there when you need them; friendly and polite, but not overly chatty. They deserve good tips. Eggs Benedict is my craving and I try it at any new restaurant I visit for breakfast. Bob Evans' were always good before, but now that they make them with biscuits instead of English muffins, I like them even more. The ham is usually where restaurants fail at Eggs Benedict, but theirs is dependably good. Whether it's the single thicker slice they used in the past, or the thin sliced ham stack they use now, it tastes fresh, without gristle. The eggs have always been cooked properly, in whatever style I requested. I can only conclude that the management does not tolerate any bad cooks, since the eggs have been so consistently cooked exactly right over the years. It's a chain, but it's a chain with a very well-run location on Niagara Falls Blvd in Amherst. read more

all of the food was cold they missed half a burger sausage was burnt food took forever terrible don't recommend

Loved the experience out and out! Amazing food...fresh and wholesome and very filling. Courteous staff. Price is a bit on the higher side, but thoroughly justified. Would go again...would recommend to friends! read more

On a busy Sunday morning with two adults and two kids. The wait was quick and the waitress (Kelly)was GREAT. She immediately made sure the kids were taken care of and that there areas were free of silverware! Wonderful! Everything we ordered came out quickly, all drinks were filled before we asked, and the food was cooked perfectly (even my request for well done hash browns- I like 'em crunchy). Then the nicey-nice manager came over to make sure everything was alright. I swear I got better service here than I do at most of my favorite fancy pants restaurants. Not gunna lie, I was not expecting that. Was it culinary genius? No, it was still Bob Evans, but I'll be back for a reasonably priced tasty meal that's delivered by top notch service. read more

Always have an issue here. Food is standard and everything is clean. They give me honey for my biscuits so that makes me happy. For whatever reason, there is always an issue splitting our check. My entire family has worked at bobs at one point or another so I know I'm not asking for something that can't be done. I just want the cashier to split the bill by seat. I was told that Bobs had changed their policy and couldn't do this. I was then told that the cashier could try, but she couldn't guarantee that the bill would be right. This made me very confused. If it had happened once I would have chalked it up to a fluke, but we have repeated problems with the same cashier. read more

I had some time to kill so I went to this Bob Evan's. I've eaten at Bob's before and it can be quite good, but this was my first time at this location. I had Pot Roast Hash breakfast that I have had several times before and it was okay. Just okay, two eggs with some meat and some cheese on some half-effort unimpressive potatoes. Nothing was bad enough to complain about, nothing was very good. The staff was very nice and attentive. The host had cheesy mildly humorous lines for everyone, and at least three different people asked me if I was doing okay. Whatever. Bottom line is, the breakfast and coffee cost me $13 after only $1.60 in tip. I would prefer to tip more but the meal was too pricey already. Sorry dude waitor, but I'm not playing ball with you guys. $13 was too much money for what you served me. For that price at Sophia's I would have had leftovers that had to be carried with two hands. For that price at Tim Horton's I'd have eaten breakfast and lunch, and had coffee until dinner. Be nice, make jokes, give me a full pot of coffee and wifi. Whatever. I'm there to eat, just because your too lazy to fill up coffee and give me a full pot I'll never finish isn't a reason I should pay that amount for your mediocre food. While I ate I heard another table of seniors complaining about their coupon and the waitress assuring them they'd be taken care of. I decided that was my last meal at Bob Evan's, or anywhere else that expects me to subsidize coupons and senior discounts by paying full price. Enjoy your $13, you are getting no more from me. Even at the grocery store today I bought Johnsonville sausages instead of Bob Evans. read more
