Nice clean newer looking Bob Evans with the classic decor in all the restaurants. First thing I noticed walking in was the bar eating area is no more, a decorative barrier was added and that's okay - but I do enjoy sitting there when dining alone. Seated quickly and the greeter brought me coffee which is nice - opted for the classic breakfast which is eggs, meat and a pancake, biscuit or French toast. The waitress keeps an eye out for refilling the coffee and puts the orders in quickly.... Great place to have a good meal at an affordable price. read more

Bob Evans on state road 70 in bradenton is wonderful! We had Channing as a server and she was just great. Very attentive servers there! Keep up the great work! read more

Eating at chains is not something I do often, however I have been curious about Bob Evan's (ate there once maybe 25years ago) so I tried it last night. We ordered chili fries, cheese burger, pot roast, and pancakes. The pot roast itself was good ( not a fan of the cooked carrots), the others with me said the pancakes were really good and the burger was ok for the price, chili fries were decent, but I would say for me the highlight of the meal was the biscuits (wow). The atmosphere is what you would expect for an older chain restaurant. The waitress was very good, we might have gotten the good waitress out of the few there. For me I'm not into chains, but if you are I would say ok food for a decent price. Food 6.5 Service 8.0 Atmosphere 7.0 read more

I want to take a moment to recognize Lisa and Audrina at Bob Evans Store #400 for truly outstanding service. From the moment we walked in to pick up a takeout order, they were welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. Both Lisa and Audrina were organized, attentive, and handled everything with confidence and a positive attitude. Our order was accurate, timely, and packaged perfectly -- but what really stood out was their care and pride in what they do. That level of customer service is rare and deserves recognition. Employees like Lisa and Audrina are a direct reflection of a well-run location and strong company values. Bob Evans corporate leadership should absolutely take notice -- these two are assets to the brand. Because of them, we will gladly return and recommend this location to others. Excellent job, ladies. You made our experience memorable. read more

Thank you for the awesome Thanksgiving dinner. First time I haven't cooked in 40 years. It was delicious!

Very rude waitresses. Waited 45 minutes on food just for waitress to say you can leave if you want. Will never return there!

Our server forgot we were there. Over 20 minutes and no order taken. Then she brings too done onion rings 41/2 of them on a plate. She did get a few better ones when I complained. Never picked up a dirty dish or glass. When we left there were 6 empty glasses on the table. Her tip reflected her service. The food was good. read more

Of course it was outstanding When I think about Bob Evans, I'm thinking pot roast. They have such an extensive menu, so much good food, but I've gotten to where I look for pot roast dishes. They have a new one called Double Cheese Pot Roast Dip, and the dip is GRAVY. Of course I got it for lunch today and of course, it was outstanding. My pot roast dip sandwich wasn't the easiest thing to eat. Where French dip has slices of beef, this sandwich had pieces of pot roast. That made it harder to keep it together, and to top that, I'm turning it upside down dipping it in the gravy. The bottom slice of bread for the last half got kind of mushy, even more of a challenge. For me it is of those sandwiches once you get your hands around it you don't want to put it down. And it was so good I didn't want to put it down anyway. Very good fries too. read more

My omelette was delicious but the best part was the waitress, Roxanne. What a bundle of joy and optimism and happiness. I appreciate that.

One of my favorite lunch places. I've been coming here every week for the past two years. The staff is always excellent and friendly and the food is always great. A chill place for me to enjoy on my lunch break. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great food and the best service overall. We love this spot especially for breakfast. Highly recommended

Honestly, I think the problem here is being short staffed and under- trained. We've had inconsistent server experiences. Some are attentive and helpful, others are almost surly and unhelpful. The food is fine, basic. Served black bacon today, and although they were not busy, waited quite a while for new bacon. Overheard the server saying they have a new cook and not enough help. Restaurant is clean, though, coffee is decent. read more

We eat here every Saturday & Sunday, wait staff is always friendly and very efficient and always remembers your favorite. Food comes out hot and prepared correctly as ordered. Highly recommended. read more

Julie was great..food was hot and fresh..staff was great ..clean restaurant..daily specials are great

The Thanksgiving Premium holiday feast was exceptional. I have never ordered from them but given the pandemic and my limited time, we thought, why not. 8 of us agreed, one of the best Thanksgiving dinners ever. More food then I anticipated. I'm sure we could have easily fed 5 more adults. Perfectly packaged and easy to transport. Great heating and prepping instructions. Although we did just use the microwave for the sides. We couldn't have made this much food ourselves for this price. Well Done Bob Evans!!! read more

Excellent friendly service w a smile !! Delicious chicken cranberry pecan salad !! Always a very nice ambience !

Excellent breakfast as always. Nothing greasy. Service is great and we love the country style and the warmth this restaurant provides !

Bleh! So cross between a school cafeteria and Denny's. This place seems always understaffed. I don't really go anymore. Their rolls are super good. I did like their roast beef quite a bit. But, right now I am avoiding carbs , so, no rolls and no mashed potatoes and other than the roast beef, it's just not good enough to go. read more

It was a little wait but so worth it food was beyond awesome salid yummy and the people are friendly thank you for your wonderful work and food . read more

We went today for Breakfast after Church. The food was Very Good! Eggs were cooked perfectly, bacon was cooked perfectly, potatoes were cooked perfectly BUT the Coffee was a little to week. BUT the BEST part of our breakfast was our Server Christina!!! She was Amazing, Fun and Extremely Attentitive! It seemed like she had all the large parties and she was on top of every request! Give that Girl a RAISE! Thank you Christina! read more

Great spot for breakfast. Great food , Warm & inviting atmosphere, every employee I encountered were friendly. And the price is right nothing crazy :-). read more

The service here is beyond comparison. We tend to come every Thursday around 7 am just at the time they open up and, we've never been disappointed. Good, solid plain food cooking down right. The other 3 diners with me all ordered a BLT with egg and gushed over it. All 3 only had room for one half of this gigantic sandwich. I had the brioche french toast which came hot off of the griddle, lightly dusted with powdered sugar (as I ordered) no syrup - have my own - and SOFT butter on the side. I HATE fighting with cold butter as is so often at other breakfast places. It was a nice two sliced order which I was almost able to finish completely. The one thing which (up until this morning) I didn't care for was their coffee. It tended to be really weak. NOT today - piping hot and *almost* strong enough for me. Definitely improved over previous visits. As with many post COVID businesses, adequate staffing is an issue here too. I've always had a cheerful server! Back in two weeks. :) read more

When it comes to the quality of the food at this restaurant, you get what you pay for. Think of it as a better quality dennys. With better service, food, and a sweet diner type vibe. Great place for families with 3+ kids. Our family (2 adults, 3 children+baby) got out of there with a bill under $100. and we got dessert! read more

I was doubting to go here because of the bad reviews, but the service was great. Very kind waitress. She was very friendly. We went for the steak and eggs, chicken fingers and piggy pancakes and everything was good. I do recommend it. read more

I was trying to support local restaurants in the area. During this time, you would hope that restaurants appreciate the business they receive. However, it doesnt look like this location does. They packaged the food sideways. The butter & syrup was thrown into the bag leaking into the sausage n gravy, the hashbrowns & other food. Food was unedible. The turkey sausage was like hockey pucks. The biscuits were NOT fresh. I could have went to McDonald's for much less money same quality. There are certain things that you expect from a restaurant vs fast food. They dropped the ball on all of those. Very disappointed. read more

We went here on a Saturday morning and waited about 30 minutes. I ordered OJ and it was delicious. The French toast is possibly the best I've ever had. On your way out, grab the chocolate chip cookies...they are soft and delicious. I will definitely go here again! read more

Breakfast was disgustiEng. Everything undercooked and wrong. And the bread came with the most disgusting non recognizable spread of some strange orange color that tasted even worse than it looked. Everyone at the table was appalled. Don't go there. so many other great choices in our area but a friend wanted to go. I said no but we went and have felt sick for most of the day from that disgusting food. read more

Even Bob Evans "Guest Relations" if it can be even called that is a sad. This place is falling down the toilet Food was horrible. What a waste of Time Money and Calories. You would think you wouldn't have to wonder how does a "breakfast" restaurant totally mess up breakfast well Bob Evans proves it can and has been done countless times. Horrible experience if we weren't so hungry we would have left. they could care less the food was so bad. Ate what we could but it certainly wasn't worth it. Guess we should've known better.. read more

On vacation and ate here on way home. Wait time 20+ minutes. Was offer drinks quickly and taking order for table. That's were the pleasantries ended. Had to wait 35-40 minutes and when we ask manager that we came for breakfast not dinner, he said "it's what it is". Poor management. When the waitress brought food, we let her know we would like more syrup and her response was she can only carry so much. This was the theme repeated thru our service of our meal. Not sure if the employees are shorthanded or overworked but the attitude needs a definite improvement. read more

Just ate there food was terrible, one of the worst crab cakes I've ever had....all breading and a skewer of small shrimp for $22 plus my side dish of carrots was bad as well tastelessness....First and last visit read more

Service at this Bob Evan's is extremely good in just about everything it takes to be a great service , The food on this day tho could have used some more TLC my over easy eggs were hard , hash browns over cooked , and the sausage were burnt . But other then that the sweet tea was great as always it read more

During this pandemic-era of curbside pick-up, Bob Evans is by far the leader of the pack. The orders are always on time and brought out with a smiling friendly employee. The order is nicely packaged in a large bag stapled at the top to prevent any "tip-over" of items inside. Can't wait to be able to eat indoors and get that southern hospitality right at your table. read more

Every time I go In here we always have a great time. The staff is awesome friendly and funny. Always on top of everything. My friend and I enjoy really going to state rd 70 location.
