Bob Evans is a Good old stand by ! I remember when the first one in NE Ohio opened people would stand in line. This AM ordered the small sampler with biscuits and gravy. Fresh and tasty. But the best thing was the server, Loren, freindly and attentive. Hopefully the new owners will help bring back the popularity. read more

you could improve the waitress experience it wasn't good there was coffee spilt and creamer our waitress was kayla and she talked more than she did her job and just kept spilling things and it took forever to get our check. read more

Gino and his team did such an amazing job with our large order for work The food was delicious and I even showed up early to pick up and expected to wait they got it together for me right away! Appreciate the amazing team work in Chardon read more

The BLT I was served was disgusting. The lettuce was like seaweed dark green, limp, and wet with occasional brown pieces. How any chef could possibly think that it was in any way eatable is beyond me. The service wasn't much better. The waitress was totally unapologetic but was nice enough to take $2.00 off the bill. Really, $2.00....the meal itself should have been taken off the bill after she saw that I had to rip the sandwich apart to eat any of it. Had she returned to our table to even check to see how our food was, I would have returned it to her at that point, but she was nowhere to be found until we looked to be finished. BTW, absolutely NO TIP for her. Folks, spare yourself the gagging and don't waste your appetite or money on this particular Bob Evans establishment. read more

Food has never been an issue for me here but the service is terrible, my most recent visit is likely my last. Why would I continue spending money at a place where I'm treated like crap and ignored? I arrived to pick up my order and was completely ignored by at least 4 different people. They all looked at me/made eye contact or looked over and saw me waiting, and then completely ignored me and just kept on walking. The young kid/host even walked over to the register right in front of me to answer the phone, twice, ignored me, and walked away and went back to folding boxes and playing with bags. Another customer came in and they were ignored too. Someone finally asked the host kid what was going on with us and then he came over. He ignored me again knowing I've been there and waiting and asked the person behind me if he had been helped. At that point I yelled at him and told him to get me my food. It had been sitting on the shelf and ready for the ten mins I was being ignored and was cold by the time I got home with it. read more

We stop there when we're in Chardon , husband always gets the pancake and often says how good they are . I change my meal up, this time I got the protein bowl with scrambled eggs, it was very good . Our waitress was very nice did a good job . The carpet was vacuum we went later in the day . I just wish they'd take their time washing and drying the tables . read more

Bob Evans is a pretty consistent place to eat! I don't think I've ever had a bad experience, until tonight! I ordered carry out 2 hours in advance, I arrived on time! I was told it would be ready less than 10mins , 30 mins later, I was told there is no cranberry relish, ok no problem, then I was told no rolls , again ok I'll have biscuits just give me the food so I can go home! I was tired of listening to the garbage music playing in the kitchen, about "bitches and hoes"! So I get home, pouring gravy on the potatoes and there is a strawberry jelly packet, that was in the gravy! Then the replacement biscuits were stale! I can tolerate a time issue, I can even tolerate a stale biscuit, but I will not tolerate when you screw around with someone's food! In hindsight, I saw the little punk with the gravy container in his hand whisper something to his little coworker about what he did! Your parents must be proud! This visit/ meal was a total shit show! read more

I'm sorry but usually Bob Evans has good hot food and service. we we're not asked for drink refills; my eggs and hash browns and bacon were barely warm. my grandsons pancakes were burnt on one side. One breakfast bowl did not have the toppings on it. However my daughter asked to have them added. it wasn't worth the money. read more

Back again!!! Dining room very clean this time!!! Wife had the sirloin steak with mash potatoes!!!! Very good,but the menu showed mushrooms & gravy over the steak!!! It was just a steak!!! I had the steak burger!! Supposed to be Angus, but tasted like a 80/20 blend!!! Was good,but just didn't have that unique Angus taste!!!! Waiter & service good, as she was multi tasking!!!! read more

You are better off eating at Dollar General, seriously. This restaurant always ceases to impress me. I try to eat here minimally, and when I do it, there is always seems to get worse. From a new set of servers every week, untrained and unteachable teenagers. To never getting a single full order right. If you are into multiple toppings on something such as omelettes, forget about it. The cooks here don't have the brain capacity to even add avocado on something such as a omelette. Servers here will take your order, receive it from the kitchen, see that nothing is right about it, and still have the audacity to hand it to you and ask for a tip. while also not having the audacity to fix the receipt for items never received even notice ordered. Also hope you're into begging because that's the only way to get water around there. On top of that this restaurant does not have normal cups, they have mason jars. The size of the servers brains. Your kid size glass will be gone in five minutes I have been too many restaurants, however, this will go down as my top five worst restaurants ever. read more

We stopped for a family dinner - the service was a little slow. I believe the server was new, we weren't in a rush so we didn't mind. The pop tasted okay but the water had a funky taste. So I asked for a tea instead. The tea tasted like it's brewed fresh daily! We tried the new prime rib & stuffed biscuit bowl (which is absolutely huge). When ordering the prime rib, you get to pick from pink or no pink. Also two sides and your type of bread. I got pumpkin bread and a double of broccoli. It was good but more of like a lunch meat consistency. The broccoli was my favorite. It was steamed fresh and was tossed in butter. I can't decide if I would order it again or not. The stuffed biscuit bowl comes with all your fixings inside the biscuit itself! Everything from eggs to gravy and cheese. This is the third time he's ordered this.. he said it's really good and it's filling. It's the size of the plate it's delivered on! read more

Been here dozens of times since it opened and the food is always just as good as any Bob Evans and the servers are always friendly and expedient. Not sure why so many low reviews for this particular location. In a good spot and plenty of parking as well as plenty of seating inside. read more

It has been a few years since I have stepped into a Bob Evans. I did not like the changes to portions and service. We wound up here, in Chardon, as the other diner was closed. We dined the day before Thanksgiving and were warned there was a limited menu. The service was great. Our breakfasts were great. They did not have blueberry pancakes on the menu but offered them as part of the fruit cup. They were able to add the blueberries to my son's pancakes which made his day. Glad I tried them again. Even the portions were good for the pancakes and home fries. I will try them again for dinner to see if the improvement continues after the holidays. read more

Went for lunch today while out shopping. Got seated right away and our server was very polite and helpful. Food came fast and was hot. Salads were good and biscuits were hot and soft. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Took a bit to get refills but it was starting to get busy. read more

Will not be returning. The manager is rude. Food sucks. Go somewhere else! Total waste of money!!

Food was decent at best. Absolutely terrible service, waitress seemed to just not want to work. She got and ate her before we did. No refills, no dressing with my salad (then brought wrong dressing when I asked for the dressing), there was a film on the gravy from it sitting so long, my fathers meal was cold and it was his birthday. He said this Bob Evans location single handedly ruined his birthday. read more

If I could leave less than 1 star I would, worst service I ever received at any restaurant I have been to. Coffee was luke warm at best, waited 12 minutes with an empty cup. The bacon was rock hard my pancakes were like rubber, never received the toast I ordered. Management at this place should be ashamed of the service they are offering and it's a shame since there aren't many sit down restaurants near Chardon. Do better!! read more

Yes, the restaurant has only been open a couple of months but basic service is basic service. Customers shouldn't have to ask for water refills or silverware. The food was fine...it's Bob Evans. I think there's a standard Bob Evans seeks and I don't know that I've ever been dissatisfied...at least with the food. We had a bonus tonight as it was Kids' Night and my two children would eat for free. Only there was a problem. When I went to pay the bill the girl at the register first forgot to discount the kids' meals and had to call in reinforcements. Then they noticed only one kids' meal was on the bill. The other was entered as a normal meal...so all in all I saved $3. On top of everything else, I ordered a chocolate sundae to go only to find out I received a caramel sundae. read more

I am not sure why this place has a low star rating! I enjoyed my time spent here with my daughter! Bathroom was neat and clean and speedy fast service! Our server was very understand of my 3 year old when she started dumping the creamer packets and jelly packets all over the table. :0) My daughter got the little piggy hotcakes that were freaking adorable! ( posted a picture) and I got a mini breakfast sampler of 1 egg, hash browns, and bacon.. all of this was came to less than $11.00.. can't beat that! read more

I really like there food. I usually get steak and eggs and it's always cooked how I ask the service is always fast and friendly. The store seems clean too and everyone seems happy to be there the candied bacon is awesome. read more

Edit: December 2015 I try and give every place two chances. If after that they still aren't good, that is it and I write them off as terrible. This is an instance where the second time is not the charm and I will never return. When you go to order something off of the menu, and they take your order, only to return fifteen minutes later and explain they don't sell that is irritating. When you order a meal with a group, and the group is receiving parts and pieces of what they ordered (not just like a soup or salad, but while parts of the meal) that is irritating. When you do order soup, and it doesn't have any broth in it (which, by the way, is what makes soup SOUP) then there is a problem, when you order eggs, and you can see the plate through the egg white and yolk, there is a chance for food poisoning. I tried to like this place. I gave it two chances. Enough is enough and this place should be shut down before someone really gets sick. Original review: Even though they just opened, I would hope that the restaurant would get better. However, my last visit from today proved me wrong. We didnt receive any silverware until ten minutes after our food arrived. I always order my meal no onions. I received what seemed like extra onions. Then my waitress changed shift in the middle and our new waitress helped us with nothing . No refills. No checking to make sure everything else was still ok. Needless to say we canceled our dessert order and drove down the street to King Kone. Go to a local diner in the area to ensure a better meal and better experience. read more

The food was ok not grate. They didn't have condiments filled and when asked staff was a bit huffy. The food was not cooked to specifications and wait times where a little long. But for a last min stop i read more

I've been going to various Bob Evans restaurant for almost 50 yrs ..After what i encountered this morning i will never go back to this restaurant..I asked to have my eggs remade with fresh eggs instead of premix..Have done it occassionally here over the years...5 minutes later the Mgr. John, came flying out of the kitchen to my booth and proceeded to berate me, and embarrasing me in front of customers, and employees!! I sat there too stunned to reply while be explained we dont do that, and started to explain the procedure..I was so speechless other than to say, i didnt think it was a big deal..I was waiting for an apology that Never came!!! Unreal..To talk down to a customer for a simple request? Really? I did get a call from his supervisor, saying we talked to him...Thats great, wheres my apology???? Unreal...A mgr with that temperment should be working there. read more

Looks like Bob Evans has changed their recipe for pancakes. I used to love their cakes a few years ago but they are doughy now and it can't be the cook because the last couple of times I was there the pancakes were not good. The service is still great and I love their coffee but I am done with their pancakes and I would advise anyone looking for pancakes to go to Denny's. read more

Tonight my kids and I had dinner at this location. We have dined here multiple times but this time was different. Our server was Ethan. He was wonderful and really made a difference in our dining experience. He was polite and attentive. The food was good but Ethan definitely made this a great experience! We will be requesting to be seated in his area next time! read more

Food is usually pretty good since it's Bob Evans and they've been cooking the same stuff for like 60 yrs. However, you also expect a higher level of service from such a National chain like BE. The service at this location has always been bad from day one and they have been open about 2 yrs. Visited the restaurant tonight and we waited 12 minutes before anyone said two words to us after being seated. I had to ask a server to please help us out and she said that she would without apologizing. It's said that BE has to deal with this since the chain is already struggling due a decrease in sales in slow-casual chain restaurants. Only go if it's early, during the week or you absolutely must have BE pancakes. read more

Went to grab a late lunch with my husband. Was told by hostess that it would be a 5 minute wait. Sat there for 20 minutes watching the servers chat with countless open tables everywhere! We finally gave up and left! The service at this place is SO inconsistent !! Don't plan to return anytime soon.. read more

Bob Evans has great broasted chicken, just not THIS Bob Evans. We ordered an 8 piece chicken to go, which was advertised as 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 wings, and 2 legs. We ordered it for a specific pick up time (an hour and half after calling it in), and ordered two sides, and two gravies. After waiting ten minutes past the pick up time, we got 3 thighs, 2 wings, 2 legs and 1 breast. On top of that, the chicken was dry, old, cold, and disgusting. We only got one of the gravies, and the sides were less than fresh. Unfortunately, this was not the first time we have been disappointed here, but we gave them a second, and a third chance. If you are going to order out for Bob Evans, I suggest you skip the Chardon OH location, and just go to another location. This will be my last time at that restaurant. Gross. read more

This location had me and my girl friend waiting 15 minutes with 3 tables in the restaurant occupied. Two of witch came up to pay. There was a waitress walking around and did not pay me and her any attention shot of shooting us dirty looks cause we are an interracial couple. I was so mad we just had to leave. I will never go to another Bob Evans ever again. I have never been so disrespected so openly by a big company like that. read more

Stopped in by myself for breakfast. Managers a skeez. He all but climbed in the booth while trying to take my order. I left mid order because he was super creepy. Yikes. read more

The food is just terrible. Like cafeteria food, everything comes from a can (green beans) or box (mashed potatoes). It was pretty busy so someone likes this slop, but not me! read more

Food is great and their menu is awesome. When they opened it was always packed and we assumed that the issues with the service was due to new staff and a new operation. Unfortunately a year later it has not gotten any better. Tonight dinner took over an hour with a long wait for drinks and meals. It's clear their servers do not have good management and there isn't enough of them or enough support in the floor. I hope at some point it improves but for now we don't be going back. read more

The first couple times I came here it just opened and it was great. Today everything is awful. The service it the worst ever!

On the contrary to popular belief, I love this place!! great tasty food and fast service. I recommend Josh as a waiter. He was fast and polite! Me and my family go often! :) read more

We had written off Bob Evans after their food and service went downhill a couple of years ago. Today being the holiday they were the only place open. "How bad can it be?" we asked ourselves. I ordered my favorite, a wildfire salad with fried chicken. My wife ordered a chicken sandwich and asked for home-fries as her side. Her sandwich was tolerable but the home-fries were uncooked and swimming in oil. My chicken in the salad was deep-fried beyond the charcoal stage. They are now back on the do not go list. read more

First visit was the week they opened. Service was terrible, mistakes made on orders, waitress forgot about part of the order multiple times, We gave them a pass figuring it was a new restaurant and it was going to take a little bit to get everything right. Well tonight we went there again (big mistake) to sum it up quickly ,after 30 minutes waiting for our food, we just got up and left. We would have asked about our food and where it was, if we could have found our waitress, but after the first 20 minutes she fell right off the face of the earth, we never saw her again ,bless her heart I hope shes ok. In the end they lost another couple of customers, there are to many restaurants in the area to come back to one that has such poor customer service. read more

This restaurant has been open for enough months to get their act together. The service can be fine or abysmal; the food as well. Is the problem with the local management or with the corporate level. The quality of food has become very processed and not what this brand used to be. I asked for more coffee and my waiter said, "Someone will be coming around with a pot." 10 minutes later, I had to ask again. I emphasized that I would like my bacon crisp or well done. It came anything but. Why to people choose a chain? Because they feel they know what they will get consistently. Not here. read more

I have not been to this Bob Evans since they first opened. I decided to go last night and was surprised by how much they have improved since my last visit. Our waitress, Mia, was excellent!! The food was good. I hope Mia is my waitress the next time I go. read more
