I flew in from California yesterday and prior to coming to Ann Arbor, I knew I needed to come to Bob Evans. I had been here 1 time before and feel in love. The server was so friendly, didn't catch his name but he was very well mannered and respectful. I ordered 1 of the Thanksgiving plates and everything was so delicious. I wasn't sure if I should have ordered the roll or biscuit and asked our server which he recommended and said the biscuits and boy they were so good! My daughter had breakfast, chicken fried steak, hash browns and eggs with 2 biscuits on the side. I was expecting it to be chaotic since we went on Thanksgiving day but it was nice and quiet and there were a few empty tables. Also, the prices are very reasonable! So happy I got my Bob Evans fix before I go back to California! read more

Bob Evans - Apple pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

See all

*This review is in regards to their pie* I didn't try their food yet. My husband and I just wanted pie and we wanted to try it here. Unfortunately, they only had about 5 flavors. I ordered the apple pie without caramel and a la mode. It was warmed up and delicious!! My husband ordered the pumpkin pie and it was delicious and flavored well (but very cold. Even though it's not the type to be warmed up). The pricing was very affordable at $5 per a pie and $0.99 for ice cream! Employees were nice! And plenty of parking! read more

The food is still after all the years. Very consistent And delicious. Their French toast is awesome The server was. Nice and very helpful. And the customer care is definitely there all a round great eating experience read more

Very cheery and competent service at 7 am! A lot of the Ann Arbor breakfast places don't open until 8 or even 9 am. So.... Tried This bob Evans. I could not have been happier with the service. The coffee was pretty weak..... then: amazing food! I am still in pleasant shock a day later. This was not heady and everything cooked to order. Plus: they have GRITS. I regret having ignored Bob Evans after some less than good experiences by prior to the pandemic. read more

Bob evans. Need I say any more? Ok, I will. I was just going on my morning jog with my non-biological brother, Teoh, and we stumbled upon this farm-like infrastructure. We sat down, and the ambiance was peaceful but not boring. Slowly, somehow, our friends started to stop by, one by one, one by one. We all ordered mini-sampler and it was phenomenal. Our waitress, Pamela, was also fantastic. Bless Bob Evans. read more

Bob Evans - THE MINI-SAMPLER - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Was in need of some comfort food yesterday and Cracker Barrel was too far away so I went with Bob Evan's, ordering their Chicken-n-Noodles deep dish dinner (served over a biscuit) and the banana bread from their dessert menu. Hubby brings it home only to find instead of banana bread, I was given two biscuits. He called them, and it turns out they were out of banana bread and simply chose to substitute more biscuits without saying anything to him when he picked it up. When asked what other desserts they could substitute, as they had several on the menu, she told him he could have a chocolate chip cookie. Like he should drive back for a chocolate chip cookie? They had a responsibility to let him know they were out of the bread when he picked it up, and there was no apology offered whatsoever. The food was just...okay. read more

I ordered chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. I asked for gravy for the chicken fried steak. Without it, chicken fried steak is dry. Well, mine came with no gravy. And I am not happy about it. read more

My husband and I love Bob Evans. It's the first place we look for when we are traveling. We are both retired, and love that this restaurant is always there when you need a good meal. Food is amazing, always clean, very good service. Cathy L. Whitmore Lake, MI. read more

Great food, fast service in a standard farmhouse feel Bob Evan's restaurant setting. Tried it sit down, pickup and to-go order. Solid good food each time, whether I got a burger or salad or soup. read more

Pretty good biscuit delicious but my meal was small. Service was great and it was clean. I appreciate that

Love the waitresses on Bethel Rd Columbus Ohio. Have been going there for 30 years. Always consistent.

This week been hard for so many,we arrived and young host was very polite and sweet,get to our table and our server alicia (sp) was such an angel,and a joy to have i will be back again and hope she is there thank you again food was good service was great read more

If your looking for a good ole breakfast with fresh food Bob Evans is for you! Any place that sells a basket of Blue Ribbon BACON as an appetizer has got my vote every time! read more

Second time getting terrible service at this location. First time it took over half an hour before someone asked us for drinks and when the food eventually did get to us, this second time 45 minutes and not even a glass of water. Over heard as we were leaving a waitress was saying to someone (us?) "Why don't you just go to Applebee's and order some chocolate chip pancakes to go then?" I highly doubt we'll be returning. read more

In light of some recent reviews that I see posted, I feel compelled to stick up for one of my "go-to" places. When I am looking for a consistently good, fairly priced breakfast, I don't hesitate to pick Bob Evans. They can even accommodate tables larger than 4, something other restaurants don't seem able to do very easily. I've never had bad service at this location and I've dined as a party of one, two and 6 (our family is growing) on more than one occasion. They have plenty of menu options so no matter your tastes or appetite, you should be able to easily find something that will satisfy. On our last visit, we had pancakes, mac 'n cheese, omelets, french toast, turkey sandwich and no complaints. Seating has always been quick. And, bonus: nice people eat here. On my first visit, I had breakfast on a Mother's Day. Surprisingly, I found myself alone first thing in the morning so I hit up Bob Evans as a treat to myself. I ended up seated next to another "single" mom at the counter and we joked about being abandoned on our special day. But for me it turned out to be special indeed because when I got ready to pay, my server told me the other mom, who had just left, had picked up my check! That meant I could spend my money on a loaf of banana bread to take home! Which I did and which I highly recommend everyone do as well. It is better than home-baked. read more

Bob Evans - Piggy pancakes from the kids menu. They were a hit with our 4-yr-old! She went hog-wild when she saw them! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ordered take out. No words necessary. The picture says it all. The price is ok, but the food quality is simply trash (a chain restaurant that can't even make a toast?) i ordered a loaded fries along with my omelette and it is the worst loaded fries I have ever had in my entire life. Its bitter............. If you are having a good day and trying to find some disappointment in your life, go to Bob Evans -- you will not be disappointed. read more

Bob Evans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Much better experience than the last time we were here. Our orders were correct, came out quick, and tasted good. Our server was quick, polite, and just friendly enough. After our last experience here, I didn't think we'd be back, but my son really wanted to try it again. Glad we gave it another try. read more

Service could have been way better. We didn't get the same service as the table next to us. No attempts to refill our coffee cups, forgot my daughters milk and gave my wife attitude when it was pointed out to be carful with the coffee pot near our daughter. Unfortunately for Tracy, we didn't leave a tip. read more

I have been to other Bob Evans before, but it has been years. I went on a Sunday morning and got a table right away. The food was good and inexpensive. My server was nice, too. But when she dropped off the check, she said she would take it whenever I was ready . . . and then I never saw her again. I was able to bring it up to the cashier, though. I will definitely come by again when I am in the area. read more

We stopped in on July 4th in the early evening, they were only seating people on one side. We got our drinks and then asked for a minute to review the menu, 30 mins later the waiter never returned to our table so we walked out. Stopped in on July 18th around 5pm to give them a second chance, again they were only seating people on one side of the restaurant, we were told that we had to wait as there were no clean tables. Management need to get a handle on the problems here. You have lost this customer for the foreseeable futur read more

Okay so I never used to go to Bob Evans nor had the desire to ever eat there. But my father-in-law introduced us to this ROAST BEEF SANDWICH back in 2015, and we were hooked instantly! So now that's all we get at this same location every time. It's so good! I didn't even have time to take a picture of it because we devour it so quickly. Maybe one day I'll try different items on the menu, but for now, I'll just stick with this lovely masterpiece. (This review is solely based on the sandwich) read more

Good food, good service. Mini sampler is GOATed. Was a good place to get food with friends.

My dad likes to go to this Bob Evans. He thinks the lunches are pretty good. I tried their unlimited soup, salad and bread. I wasn't impressed. The cheesy potato soup didn't see like real food. The dining area was a mess and badly needed sweeping and bussing. The service was friendly and even after I left my cell phone on the table, and called for it 30 minutes later, the employees made sure it was returned to me. We will be back to try to find something a bit fresher on the menu. The employees are 5 stars, but can't give more than three until the cleanliness and food improve. read more

First off, let me say I'm not a frequenter of Bob Evans, mainly because I try to go to locally owned establishments mostly. I did happen to visit this particular Bob's after staying the night in Ann Arbor on a recent weekend getaway though, and in my opinion it's first rate. The manager and the employees were very friendly, helpful and communicative. The establishment was tidy, and all of our food was served up in a timely manner, hot and delicious. I don't know how any of the other Evans restaurants are, but this particular one is excellent, and should be held as the golden standard for all of the others. read more

My friend Kevin and I decided stop in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon around a month ago. We were told there was a 10 minute wait to clear some tables off. The first thing I realize is that 15, then 20 minutes had gone by. Meanwhile, the hostess at the FOH, started to seat customers that had come in after we did. We looked around in the restaurant and there was over a dozen tables that still needed to be turned that were dirty when we first came in. I have seen slow service before, but this is ridiculous. In the future, I will take my business to the Bob Evans Restaurant in nearby Canton. I have always had great food and service at that location. read more

I always get the Farmer's Market Omelet, with side order of sausage links... and of course, you can't forget the coffee... Bob Evan's is the only place I know that serve Sanka coffee... and no, I'm not a fan of Sanka Coffee, but what else can I do? Bring my own?? I usually go on the weekends, so expect a long line... when you get in, make sure your get your name on the list... usually you'll get a table within 30 minutes. The service is great, never had an issue with service at this Bob Evans. They refill your cup quickly. Overall, I wish there was Bob Evans on this side of town... for sure I would go more often... give Bob Evans a try... if you like Sanka coffee... this is a must for you :) read more

I had the 3 course meal for $10.99...what a bargain! I had the turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy. I had the vegetable soup and for dessert I chose an apple cinnamon sundae. I also received two biscuits. The portions were generous and everything was served fresh and hot. I ordered this to go. Going to chains like this is a hit or miss type of situation and I believe it is all based on who is managing the place. The managers and employees here hit it out of the ball-park...good job team. read more

Damn! All the disabled spots are taken and where should I park? Lot is freakin' full! Waiting and seeing only heavy folks coming in and out! Coincidence? I think not! One chair for each buttock, folks! read more

After having a gross, cold breakfast at our hotel in Grand Rapids, my husband and i were heading to Toledo but wanted to eat an actual breakfast. We found this place off the highway and WOW was it fantastic..great food, great service..we are full and satisfied. read more

Very disappointed in our delivery we just received. My wife's omelet looks like the eggs were cooked, and then the toppings were just thrown in after the fact, they weren't even cooked. We are missing our biscuits and sausage gravy, I'm missing my pancakes that came with the meal. I don't normally leave bad reviews, but this was just terrible, my wife's unfinished omelet is what drew the line. read more

Atmosphere was so awesome, food was hot fresh and so tasty! The portion size was pretty good too, I was able to share with my 15 month old and we both got full read more

Love this place everything they cook is hot and ready the servers are so nice and attentive biscuits and gravy are the shizzzzzzzz

i love their Cheesy Potato Soup:))) very friendly & fresh fruit. their online ordering is great, always right, hot, and delicious

Fried chicken was rubber with green bean juice soaked into the breading on the chicken. What the hell. ( I called this order in and picked it up) The mash potatoes are great. The apple cobbler, even though it looked like a lawnmower ran over it was pretty damn good. read more

B Evans hits the spot. It's a very under-rated chain for us younger folk. This location is located right near Meijer and jail, which makes it a prime locale to catch a nice bite to eat before you do your marketing or a nice stop to visit after you get out of the can for committing a dumb crime. Staff - I've been here multiple times - each time - very nice and accurate. (As long as you bring me my water and tomato juice - you alright!!!) Cleanliness - It's clean. Food - Yummy - It can be hectic to get served quickly on days of when the walls are stacked "balls deep" but what do you expect, do you want good food served to order or do you want precooked eggs suffering under a heat lamp for a few hours......I swear upon the flaming sword of my homie Bro-hammed (inventor of the catch phrase Holla Akbar), I wanna punch people who complain about food wait times (order an app, go outside and smoke a cig, dance a jig for quarters) Quit complaining, it shall come soon and it shall taste all sorts of good. Things I like: Soup: Have you ever tried a fresh bowl of soup before, like a Chicken Noodle and thought it tasted good??? They sell those here - Try the Chicken Noodle Salad: I once had a salad with ranch dressing here before. It tasted like it came fresh from a farm in the heartland Midwest of American - cause I put Ranch Dressing all up & down that thing. The Midwest LOVES ranch and they have good ranch here. That is why we are all so god damn fat in the Midwest!!! Good salad though - fresh veggies I get to drown under a sea of creamy rancher's dressing. (Tip - I always salt and pepper my salad 2 minutes before I eat my salad - it brings out natural flavors and brings out the juiciness) My go-to dinner here is.......HOMESTEAD BREAKFAST HOMESTEAD BREAKFAST It's basically a standard 2 egg breakfast with one meat, a thing of home fries or hash browns and the toast is replaced with biscuits and gravy. Tasty as hell though. I like B Evan's sausage links and the eggs over easy with my Homestead, I'm old fashioned. Biscuits taste great - they aren't the cheesy biscuits from Red Lobster, but they are good. I just rip it in little pieces and throw it in the gravy.....toss it around like a pork fat fondue and enjoy each bite. Potatoes are good too, I get the home fries. Squirt of ketchup for the dipping. My other food choice here is the beef tips over noodles that they don't carry anymore I don't think. What a bummer - for athletes like myself, it is a tasty choice for a high protein/high taste/low cal meal......the meat was always tender and the gravy ever so yummy. I guess that's gone, so see you 5 stars......JUST KIDDING - they deserve 4 fair stars because the prices are kinda sketchballs. Kinda high, not gonna lie, but I will say for the quality of food, it is fairly priced sort of. Atmosphere - "Down on the farm" It's pleasant. Bob Evans in the sexual Swingers world is also a place where cheaters go. It's a great place to say bye to a bull and not get caught by neighbors (who eat at local joints). According to the perverts I talked to, btw. I'm single and not married nor a swinger & not a sex pervert, I'm only one who chats with others, as a bull. (according to one person "there's a reason why Bob Evans are located by hotels," but then again, what does she know.....she be a hussy (a hussy who knows great breakfast meats and solid service). Conclusion - Ann Arbor/Ypsi has a lot of great places to get breakfast, but if you think Downtown Ann Arbor Parking blows or if you want a good consistent meal or protein for mistress action, stop at this Bob Evans. I am a fan. However, if I was taking a girl out on a date for the first time, I would avoid this place as it's not the most romantic of places, I mean I don't know how many people get dome after a nice breakfast meat platter and some farm fresh eggs, but then again - they do have really nice soups and I know soups can turn chicks on these days......I'm the Sexy Soup Bull, I should know. PEACE!!!! 4 Stars. WooHoo!!! read more

I went here for breakfast in a pretty rural part of Ann Arbor. I grew up on Bob Evans, and I've always enjoyed their breakfast. I've grown to appreciate their lunch and dinner as well. The place wasn't that busy. For breakfast, I had some standard stuff--eggs, bacon, and sausage. Their sausage (patties or links) are from the Bob Evans farm, and they are pretty good. I think the sausage links are slightly better than the patties and go great with maple syrup. Bob Evans' signature dish is their sausage gravy over biscuits, and you just can't pass up on it when you are here. I've had similar dishes at other restaurants, but they are not as good. Some places have a white, milky gravy that is just bland. Others just taste like grease. But Bob Evans' sausage gravy has a nice consistent texture, it tastes great, and the biscuits are good. Prices here are very cheap, and service is always friendly. read more

Went here today around 12pm, sat us and waited. No one ever came to the table after about 10 mins. The whole time we were sitting there, a person who appeared to be a busser, made eye contact with us, and continued to talk to customers. She saw us sat for several minutes and made no attempt to find us a server. Also walked out and saw a few servers but none of them said anything. Just wanted some cinnamon roll pancakes :( read more

We like to go here with our 2 year old. The kids menu has a lot of choices that he will eat, including nutritious side options. Breakfast is always available which is a plus both for the adults and the kids. Generally was able to find a number of health conscious choices from the menu, and they were willing/able to make some changes to suit our tastes. Service has been hit or miss, but pretty standard for this type of restaurant. read more

Never had been to a Bob Evans Restaurant before, but had known about the company as their stock is traded in NASDAQ. A group of us went in for breakfast, and we all found their restaurant to be good, service good, breakfast fine, overall fine. I had to try some Midwest biscuits for breakfast, and they were pretty good. We also had apple fries and fried cheese balls to take in the whole Midwest experience. read more

I haven't stepped foot in a Bob Evans for nearly 20 years until today. (marked it off my list when I got a fly in my sausage gravy!!). BUT today, I was delighted and relieved to have a nice breakfast meal in a very clean & pleasant place! I ordered the Farmer's Choice: I asked for poached eggs & was told they steam them (I've never had that) - it was perfect! Hash browns golden w the crunchy edges & bacon was crisp; I optioned for a blueberry crepe & it was a very tasty, too! The hostess and waitress were very pleasant and attentive. So, now I can add THIS Bob Evans back on my "nice" list! read more
