On a road trip in a big u-haul and hungry for a hardy meal that will keep you going for many miles? Today was my first time to give Bob Evan's Restaurant a try and I was delighted with the menu choices and service! There is plenty of parking for your large vehicle! Believe me, the food is better than your mama cooks!! Angela was our kind and friendly, server. She was so nice to allow us plenty of time to look over the menu and brought me choices for a cup of tea and fresh honey! What a great start to a fabulous meal! The restaurant is large with tables of all sizes for large groups or single customers. It is a clean environment that was a real treat on a road trip! I had a large appetite for a small sized girl and ordered two items. Fresh oatmeal with brown sugar, milk, pecans and cranberries. Plus biscuits and sausage gravy which was a taste bud pleaser! My table mate had something he loved. Pancakes with an egg, bacon and cheese in between the two pancakes. He raved about it as it looked to me like a pancake biscuit. I will definitely look forward to my next visit at this restaurant. read more

Ugh, Bob Evans never fails! The service is outstanding and the food is just to die for. Best breakfast place in town. Highly recommend you stop here! read more

The service is extremely slow. Can take over an hour to get food after ordering. Servers generally do not check on guests beyond taking order. Could be waiting even longer to get the check. What should be a 45 minute to an hour visit can take twice as long waiting for service. read more

I was craving fish and BE had a fish meal so I ordered it and it was awful! The fish was all dried out, and the sides weren't good either. The waitress was only so so and it was after the lunch crowd. I gave them a try and I will never be back. read more

We ate breakfast here because it was convenient. Overall the food was average. Service was excellent. While I might not go out of my way to have breakfast here I wouldn't avoid it either. read more

Bob Evans - Country-Fried Steak & Farm-Fresh Eggs* - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Stopped in for quick breakfast late morning today while in the Columbia area. Was hungry so ordered more than I should've, but it was all served hot and tasty, with friendly service! Ordered Big egg breakfast... 3 eggs cooked over easy perfect as ordered, sausage patties were browned and flavorful but not as moist as I remember for BE, so perhaps not as freshly cooked later in the morning. Hash browns were crisp outside and tender inside, good portion. Also decided I wanted a pancake so ordered 1 side pancake, hit my craving! My better half ordered the Ham, Eggs, and hash browns, all good. Got biscuits instead of toast, they were fresh and warm - suggest asking for some honey to go with biscuits. BE is consistent wherever I go and food is good quality whether breakfast, lunch or dinner; so I like stopping here when traveling for an easy restaurant choice usually nearby a highway. Enjoy! read more

Don't let the manager cook it was a joke. Low staffing shouldn't effect the food being delivered if you are open

Well, the manager there is fantastic. He tries very hard to do a good job and provide good service. The cooks... less so. I got a lot of lukewarm food there, and when the waitress took it back, the kitchen staff shoved it in the microwave and sent it back with the initial bite still missing. The wait staff is pleasant but clearly used to handling issues. They're stuck in the middle, unfortunately. read more

I have eaten at Bob Evans a lot ever since it opened Most of the food is real good (Meatloaf nope like dog food) Breakfast excellent Now this morning ummm all good but now they have started spicing the hashbrowns Should leave that to customer Some cant have them because of medical reasons pepper no because of stomachs or allergies salt no because of HBP Calm Enough help it was nice relaxing not crazy like it has been read more

Bob Evans - Restaurants should not spice foods ---some customers cant have salt or pepper because of medical reasons let them do it - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Terrible service by the server I had but the server for the table next to me was great. I needed water, more napkins besides the one the fork and spoon are wrapped in. After delivering my food to my table, the next time I was visitors by my server (bald male) he gave me my ticket. So that was weird. The other server (blond female) was nice, took away my empty dishes, got my water, and probably would've given me more napkins had I asked her. read more

Bob Evans - Just a space in Bob Evans. - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Sunday of parents weekend - line out the door! The hostess was writing down names, seating people and clearing tables. This young girl was busting her butt with a smile. Our waitress was friendly and efficient - took our order right away and brought our drinks quickly. A couple of people brought out our food. You can tell this place has great teamwork and is used to being busy! We really enjoyed our breakfast - omelettes, pancakes, biscuits & gravy, etc... Thank you especially to Ashley who found our son's air pod case after we left. We appreciate you all & thanks for your hard work!! read more

The food was very good and the service was spectacular. We had a great time celebrating Mothers Day with my Mother that is 89 years old.

I ordered on door dash. Food was good BUT there wasn't enough hash browns. ALSO what's with the processed cheese they threw on my omelette? Like y'all really stank for that... I would still eat here again. read more

This was the absolute worst dining experience I've ever had !!! After waiting an hour for our food to arrive at table . It wasn't even edible , chicken was cold In middle And missing avocado which was supposed to be slices on the top , waitress brought back mashed up avocado in a bowl to spread on top. Daughters ordered BLT , bacon was raw waitress asked if she would rather have crispy bacon and she said yes so she brought more bacon back , this time it was burnt and still not edible , toasted bread so hard you couldn't bite it . Needless to say this was the biggest waste of money and time and we will NEVER be back here and will NEBER recommend that anyone eat here . Also need to add that restroom was disgusting and dirty and floor was so sticky it almost ripped your shoes off when walking . This is a definite ZERO rating from us !!!! read more

Very high priced. 4 pieces of cocktail shrimp for $19... for a debrief of the menu. Overall the food was good, service was very slow and we waited forever for appetizers, drinks, and our main course meals. Completely shocked to get a $600 bill with 4 adults and 2 kids. The bathrooms were filthy and smelled like sulfur, other than that it was a nice set up. Food was worth it but the experience was definitely subpar. read more

The food was not good the service sucked my daughter wanted a cheeseburger and the burger was way over cooked one of the drink was not correct at all and the chicken tenders my son had was to hard for him to eat he's only one years old read more

We visited Bob Evans for the first time last night. The service was good and the restaurant was clean however the food was not good. The salad wasn't fresh and had a rust look to it. The salad toppings were good. The food was room temperature. We will try it one more time. I hope it was just an oversight. read more

Good food great service and very nice people And very good curbside pickup I would give it six stars but I can only give 5

I actually love eating here. Just watched the manager (guy wearing yellow shirt) tell his employee to "shut up" because she was getting stressed about the amount of customers walking in. I assume they could only get the two girls to waitress as he mentioned he knows it's only the two of them. I was just trying to pay for my meal and his couldn't have cared less, apparently. I was the guy wearing overalls (in case he reads this). So, I will keep eating here but someone should probably look into those managerial characteristics. Servers have always been delightful. I come often. I love the thanksgiving dinner. read more

Stale biscuits, slow service, over cooked chicken and the wait staff yell at each other in the back like nobody can hear them. Not what I remember from Bob Evans growing up. read more

This could be the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. Have been to this location twice, two years apart. Same crappy service as last time. I recommend to everyone to stay away from this terrible run restaurant. If you want to take two hours out of your life for shitty food and terrible rude service. This is your place. Never coming back again. Wish I could give them a minus. read more

If I could give a -0 I would! I was looking forward to eating at a youth favorite during my travels through.... I was told 30 min wait. At 45 min they seated a group of five that had just walked in over my group of four. The hostess had an attitude with customers before me and continued on to me. I asked for the GM and she rolled her eyes and walked away. He came out with the same attitude he refused to hear from me. I could go on with additional but not worth my time. We walked out. Ruined my view and future thoughts on this restaurant. read more

It had been nine years since I've eaten at Bob Evans. My wife and I went in one Sunday afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere: Very laid-back and relaxed place to eat. Pretty much a diner situation but, laid out much bigger. The noise was very minimal and the manager was going around talking to everybody at their table. He was extremely polite. They have T-shirts and hats at the front to purchase. They also have candles and their own Bob Evans sauce for sale. Food: I had steak and eggs with a side order of steamed broccoli and a glass of water with lemon. The meal was fantastic! Apparently it was a 6 ounce sirloin but, it did not taste quite right to me. It complemented the scrambled eggs with cheese very well though. :-). My wife had something that seemed to be a very large grilled cheese sandwich that she seem to enjoy very much. The food could be much larger and portions for the cost that you spend there. But, it is a wonderful breakfast restaurant when you're looking for some good home cooking. Service: It is a hair slow. But, I have been to much slower places. This is the main reason I'm giving this restaurant four stars. Our waitress was not very attentive to us. I had to call her over several times just to get a glass of water. Other than that, I found this to be a wonderful place to eat that's fairly reasonable in price. I will return here to eat. read more

Bob Evans - Waiting to eat. - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I came here on a Saturday​ morning. It was pretty busy, but we were seated promptly. Staff was quick and courteous. I ordered a water to drink, it had to be tap water-it was not very good. The food ok, the hash browns were not crispy at all, very blah. Biscuit was very fluffy and tasty. Pricing was affordable. read more

Jordan (guy server) is hands down the WORST human I have ever encountered in a restaurant. He threw our food down on the table. He didnt refill our drinks for 30 minutes. He was rude and disrespectful to my child. And he didn't say excuse me when he ripped was by our table. It was disgusting and it smelled like Bob Evans sausage. Way to promote your work... Jordan. read more

Seriously bad service... arrived at 10:30 hoping for a quick meal as my kid had to be on the field at 11:45. Sat down and began to wait.. ten minutes go by and people get sat on both sides of us. Waitress comes out gets the order behind us and then our waiter comes and gets the order in front of us. After getting the other teams order our waiter explains it's a shift change and he will be back.. ten more minutes and finally gets our order... other tow tables get their food and begin eating and nothing for us.. we wait and finally ask the other waitress what's up. She said she saw our order up there and would go check with he manager. We waited some more and explained we were j a hurry. It's 11:10 at this point and manager never comes over so we finally left. First time and last time I'll step in a Bob Evans. Got my kid to the field and was lucky enough there was a tropical smoothie close. read more

Dining in - food was Good! Waitress AWFUL!!! Social Distancing in place -- Wonderful- but many social distancing tables open yet they don't seat customers. Wait Staff out numbers customers gathered behind counter!! Don't even think about getting a second cup of coffee even after asking nicely!!! Will NEVER RETURN TO THIS LOCATION!!! Management Needs To Improve Their SERVICE!!!!!! read more

Came in at 945, by 10:50 we still didn't have our food. Everyone who came in after us had ate and left already. Once we were given our food TWO of our meals had hair on them from the kitchen crew. DISGUSTING. NOT TO MENTION the attitude and disrespect we felt from the manager. If i could rate this store a 0 stars i would've. read more

Yum now this is hometown cooking, I know this is chain in mid west but we don't have them in California so I was very happy to try this restaurant and I was not disappointed, everything tasted homemade and portions were perfect. read more

Apple pie apples wasn't cooked. The SWEET tea wasn't sweet. Service took a while to order our food.

If you're in a hurry, don't come here! They did discount our meal, but if you're hungry and have waited almost an hour, that's little compensation. Food was delicious and our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. read more

This is a very unique place worth visiting, I discover in close to StLouise,Mo, very flavor breakfast choices. yet needing to try the dinner selection.Very casual setting with reflecting support and farming and farmers good food specially in their pancakes, biscuits and eggs read more

I have only been coming here for breakfast so this review is specifically for that meal. The restaurant is always spotlessly clean and the service is pretty darned good as well. I don't much care for their coffee, but I am a coffee snob...the rest of the guys in my group that I meet there seem to like it just fine. Eggs, sausage links, toast, hash browns...seems hard to mess this up. However, the hash brown often have a hint of cinnamon flavor - like a pancake was cooked right before it and it picked up a little flavor from the griddle. It is not overwhelming by any means, but I think it takes away from the hash browns. The rest is spot on. The kink sausages are my fave as the bacon and sausage patties are less tasty IMHO. I can't give this 5 stars - but I am comfortable with this 4 star rating. read more

Today is Veterans Day and Bob Evans is doing a fantastic job treating the best customers in the world. God bless the USA.

Food was good but waited 45 minutes for breakfast. I don't think waiter placed our order today. He told us that chicken strips took 9 minutes . In that case we could have had 5 orders. Manager came over and asked us what was going on even though he knew. He didn't charge us but that was right thing to do. Shame on me for not leaving. read more

me & friends eat at Bob Evans frequently but today was terrible....terrible service, waited almost an hour for food to arrive, everything was cold, had ordered banana bread that never came....now....it was at 11:30 a.m. when we arrived, & restaurant begin to get busy....waitresses were overwhelmed, she did the best she could under the circumstances of busy lunch time....at checkout which was almost $50.00 (we did leave a $10 tip)...when asst. mgr asked how was it? I replied 'cold'.....his comment was 'sorry bout that'......not for sure I'll return....mainly his pisspoor attitude....... read more

I ordered delivery through their website, which was fulfilled by DoorDash. Bob Evans got the order completely wrong. Salads didn't have all the toppings and they forgot entire menu items. When I called they said to settle it with doordash. I called doordash and they told me to settle it with Bob Evans since I ordered through them. I informed Bob Evans of this and the manager told me that the General Manager would call me the next day to issue a refund. Never got a call or an email. Don't order delivery or take out from them. It's always wrong and they don't care to fix it or give your money back. read more

The food was very good. Had a strawberry crepe with a breakfast entree. Yummy. First cup of coffee was hot and good $2 79/ cap. Refill finally after finishing the meal. Lukewarm. Yuck. Server was a bit dingy. Not apologetic for forgetting to refill. You don't want Jessica as your server read more

We came in at 4pm. The restaurant was fairly bare and we met someone there who was already at a table. We were greeted promptly and got our drinks quickly. Soon after we placed our order, everything seemed pretty standard at this point. So we waited, and waited, and waited. Before we knew it my husband looked at his phone and nearly 45 minutes had passed. Our waitress had checked on us within the first 15 minutes, but then though she had come within viewing distance she had not checked on us since then. Our food finally arrived and our waitress came over to let us know that it wasn't her fault, the manager hadn't told the runner to bring us our food, though it was ready a long time ago. Thanks. Good to know. Fruit on my daughter's plate was warm it had been so long. Over easy eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon were deemed pretty good. But the pancakes were dense, the sausage patties were overcooked, as were the home fries, and the scrambled eggs were just off... Just suffice it to say, we won't be going back there again. read more
