When we walked in it smells good and the service was great the food came out fast but the 2.6 rating on the app was not correct and I got a cute stuffed animal in the gift shop where you pay and it seems that they get cuter and cuter stuff every time I go there and I also like the water coloring thing that they sell there so I would definitely go here again read more

Poor service, I ordered county fried steak breakfast with eggs over easy. They brought me a dinner. In there haste to fix it they under cooked the hash browns. I had to order my coffee rwice before they brought it. I don't recommend eating at this location. read more

Seems an old, tired location. When we were seated my wife and I both immediately noticed the musty, dank smell at our table. Typically associated with wiping the table with dirty rags. Floors in both restrooms were sticky. Food was as expected, although the sausage patties were overcooked. read more

I've been dining in at this location for over 20 years but the last year or so I always get this waitress named,Carla let me start off by saying I always tip for good service/performance & I've always tipped Carla a decent tip except one day I did not tip Carla because she's just a rude person & I was sick of her attitude so a month or so later,I returned to this location & Carla was my waitress again.Carla had the audacity to say Out loud to me and my daughter YOU TWO DIDN'T TIP ME LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE.BUT THATS OK SHE SAID!!! Here's a tip. Carla do better at your job!!!& Watch that rude mouth of yours also don't argue with your customers when you can clearly see food is undercooked Carla & management & their bathrooms are unsanitary. They even have mold in the bathroom. I will be calling the health department. Their silverware is dirty with dirty watermarks all over them if you get a waitress named Carla H.run, she's very rude and unprofessional. all in all a horrible experience, the dining room area also smells a little musty like mold will never return to this location horrible just horrible read more

Bob Evans - Doesn't this look yummy? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

I arrived about an hour early for a meeting in the area and decided to grab a quick breakfast. I was seated immediately and given a few minutes to look over the menu. I asked if they offered build your own skillets since they have build your own omelletes and was told no. Therefore I ordered the mini sampler(1 egg, meat of choice, potatoes and biscuit) I requested the new chicken sausage. The sausage was delicious. It's hard to find a good chicken sausage but this one checked all the marks. My food was ready fast and my service was great. read more

Great service. Was seated and served quickly. Food was very good, and prices were reasonable.

#lifewithlukas2q Lukas from Sierra Valley, CA Lukas uses a talking app on his iPhone to communicate. We live in the Sierra Valley of Northern CA. Reno/Tahoe country. He has been saying "Bob Evans" on his phone for months and I had no idea what it who it was. We FOUND BOB While visiting my significant other in his home state of Ohio. We finally met Bob. The food was GREAT. The service was BETTER. Derrick of Elyria Ohio Bob Evans was phenomenal. He really gave us the attention we wanted and let us know we were welcome. I had the southwest omelette which was amazing. We bought two loaves of banana and pumpkin bread cuz the banana bread was so good. Thanks for the great experience after all this time of wondering who you were. I even sent this photo to his teacher in Cali just so he knew we made it to the place we never knew existed. read more

This Thanksgiving (celebrated Sat) I talked my mom and husband into ordering the premium Thanksgiving feast that feeds 10. I conveniently ordered, paid online and picked up on time at the restaurant. The menu included turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, green beans, Mac and cheese, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, a whole pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie with whip cream and an apple pie. We had a lot of delicious food with plenty of leftovers. It took 2 hours to heat up and everyone enjoyed the family time and food, including the pickiest of the kids. For the price and ease this was by far the best Thanksgiving dinner we've had in awhile. It was well worth it and we'll be doing it again for sure. They have other options too, such as prime rib and pot roast, turkey and/or ham only family dinners for different sizes. My family and I definitely recommend!! read more

Very clean & comfortable, very good food selection and the price was fairly good. The meal I chose was properly prepared, tasteful with a good portion size. Bathroom was large, well maintained and very clean. Parking area was large, well kept and also clean. This was my first visit to a Bod Evans, and I must say I am impressed. I will happily give my recommendation. read more

Excellent service and good food... Went there the week of Christmas great staff at this location.

Horrible!!! Took forever to get coffee! Food mediocre at best, hash browns soggy and not browned, omelet soggy! Took forever to get our check! Our waitress not good but another one was great, she brought me coffee! Will not return read more

I never complain about meals I purchase but the meal from Bob Evans deserves one. it was the worst meal I ever had! the chicken was over cooked and dry. I threw half of it out. the mashed potatoes were hard, as if they forget some ingredients. the corn tasted like it just came out of the can and not heated. the soup had dry chicken chunks and was loaded with pepper. I used to really enjoy this meal but won't ever go there again! it was a total waste of money! read more

This is an older Bob Evans. The outside of the restaurant and the interior carpet could use a little upgrading, but it is clean. We were seated right away and our server was new but she was very friendly and made sure we always had enough to drink. I ordered a chicken sandwich, my husband ordered the half chicken meal, and our son had chicken strips. Everyone was very happy with their meals. They were very filling and cooked to perfection. I ordered a slice of Reese's pie to go and the peanut butter mousse kind of melted all over the container in the time it took to get back to the hotel, but it was still delicious. Next time I'll be sure to enjoy a slice in the restaurant rather than take it with me. Great food and great service! We're Bob Evans fans for sure! read more

What in the world has happened to BOB EVANS Elyria? The food was practically inedible...NO PAPER TOWELS IN THE LADIES ROOM...SLOW RUDE STAFF who don't know what they're doing...this was a booming restaurant for YEARS...ID never walk into this location again...GROSS on several levels...CORPORATE needs to check in on this place...I nor will my neighbors be doing so ever again...it was a ghost town on a Friday at 9am...I now know why read more

This is what they qualify as a side of hash browns, not only was it four bites worth, they were clearly not cooked thoroughly. Disappointed that I paid so much money for a decent breakfast and this is what they serve their customers. read more

Bob Evans - Hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

Not sure why there's so many poor reviews. Maybe management has changed over the years and it's improved since we've been going there. This is always our go-to stop on our Sunday drive home from Cedar Point back to Buffalo, NY. It's off the beaten path and the wait time is never any longer than 20 minutes. The service is always stellar and the food is what you'd come to expect from a Bob Evans. The food always comes out quickly and has a consistent taste (we order the same plates). The servers always offer to give us a to-go cup for our beverages which is nice when you're taking a road trip. During this past trip, I wasn't feeling well and the server gave me a chocolate bar for the trip home. A nice touch! We'll be back next time we're in Ohio. read more

They do favoritism a lot. You're working at a restaurant where you talk to people of all walks of life, you can't be picky/choosy on who you can wait on. Always the same two people waiting on us every time we come which ties to the favoritism. Presentation as a waiter/waitress is key too. The waiter I've had, didn't smell too pleasant that particular day and I seriously lost my appetite, it was bad enough that I came in irritated that day. You wait extremely long for drinks and food read more

We walked out! Waiting 15 min to order when the restaurant is empty is unacceptable. Brought our business to Denny's. Too bad as this would have been our 1st time to Bob Evans. read more

ordered take out turkey Mashed potatoes gravy stuffing they gave us 20 over cooked carrots no stuffing 1 oz of dark meat chicken instead of turkey a scoop of potato's no gravy on top of it the manager waited on us he was a rude person bob evans in Elyria sucks read more

We did dining in, appears they do a big business in carryout. If you are looking for gourmet dining, then Bob Evans is not a good choice. They do their classics well, I tried a new honey butter chicken, probably not on the heart smart menu. It was good and filling. My girlfriend did the turkey dinner, looked good. The sides could have been warmer, on the other hand it was 7:30 on a Sunday night. Service was good, waiter was friendly. I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here, but I wouldn't avoid eating here either. read more

This Elyria Bob Evans has gone done hill. The girl that took my take out order said i could not get all bacon instead of sausage on my biscuit breakfast platter that I had to get either all bacon or all sausage, What? after I had the confused look on my face, she said it was due to an inventory issue! I never had someone tell me that i couldnt add or not get something on my food! She said I can add an order of bacon then i can add it to my biscuit, yeah of course i can for an extra charge! I ordered the bacon extra crispy, it was rubbery. The whole breakfast was just not good! Im so disappointed , Bob Evans is my favorite breakfast place to eat. I worked for Bob Evans for over 12 years and quality of the food and service was our number 1 priority. This Elyria Bob Evans is the only restaurant I have problems with consistently. The outside around the restaurant in the parking lot looks discusting! There is garbage and cigerette butts everywhere in the flower beds and around the curbs. One positive note, the few waitresses working there seemed to be very friendly to the customers! read more

Thank you for breakfast it was worth to wait . Biscuits and gravy and eggs and extra lean sausages and a waffle with the Cherry with the whipped cream this is so worth it to wait it makes you full read more

I stopped in for a quick dinner while on a road trip and had the good fortune to be seated in Kenyatta's section. Not only was she an extremely efficient server, she was one of the most genuinely pleasant people I've encountered in awhile. Thanks for making my day! read more

We were passing through Elyria on our way to our honeymoon and stopped at Bob Evans for dinner. Mind you, this was our first time ever eating at one! It was decent. Definitely breakfast and "home comfort foods." I would say it's very similar to Cracker Barrel but a little less formal than CB. Nothing fancy but we enjoyed our service and food! read more

Thanksgiving Dinner was wonderful, tasty and a lot of food! My 91 year old mom not able to go to nephew's home for dinner, was grateful Bob Evans came through for us! Good food fast! Thank you!!! read more

I will not return. We went in on a normal Saturday morning before going swimming. It was packed. And I have no idea why. The smells weren't appealing and the staff is not friendly. We walked in and the person who seats the guest walks away. And he never came back. We waited about 10 minutes. Which was far too long. no one even spoke to us. Times before we have been in and the food was ok. But the service was lacking. 15 minutes waits on a beverage or even to place an order. There is favoritism among servers and regulars. Pity because I do actually tip based on service. This establishment is a waste of space read more

Bob Evans refuses to substitute the meat side for fruit. Fruit is certainly a less expensive option. From a customer service standpoint, they should all my children to get fruit over bacon, without charging us. This is a customer service issue. Waitress was great! Issue is with management and/or ownership. read more

Having breakfast after Roverfest, the place is busy. Service a little slow. Food came out cold and wrong. Was ready to complain, however between our server Margie and managerEdie. They were so incredible and took care of everything. Definitely recommend dining here! read more

Mom had chicken noodle soup - it had 1 little piece of chicken the size of your finger nail.. smh. I guess the Equity Capital Company out of San Francisco that bought out Bob Evans are a bunch of penny pinching bean counters that destroyed Bob Evans.. I had BE on Suspension Do Not Order From Show Cause for 1 year... they we off it for 3 hours.. Back on Suspension Do Not Order From Show Cause for another year... wow.. Also delivery driver did not bring ( cuz it wasn't packed in the bags at the restaurant ) Cranberry relish for both Turkey dinners... AND they didn't pack the Pumpkin Bread which was also paid for. So I had to drive and pick it up... So what is the point of paying for delivery if Bob Evans can never deliver what they are supposed to.. I bet you Offer a Million Dollars for a Perfect and Complete Delivery and They could never Cash in on It... read more

Ordered food for pickup. Website said food ready in 10 minutes before ordering. It was already late for us to eat so needed it quickly. Once ordered it said ready in 35 minutes. They make a big deal about curb side pick up. Got there and called the number for pickup and the phone rang for 10 minutes with no answer. They can't answer the curbside pickup number. Really? Finally went in and they said it wasn't ready. Was about to cancel order when the food came out. In the end it took 50 minutes. Now it's really late for us to eat due to health reasons. Then my turkey melt sandwich is not even warm, and stiff like it had been sitting there for a while, and it had been barely grilled with nothing melted. Food was mostly ok though. read more

Good food, mediocre service. This was my first experience at a Bob Evans and it was just okay. The actual restaurant is fairly clean as it seems that it's fairly new. Typical diner fare (think Denny's or IHOP) and out server behaved like a stereo-typical waitress out of TV - loud and somewhat cavalier. Our food took a LONG time to arrive and when it did, one of the entrees was wrong. Had to wait longer for the correct one to arrive. The saving grace was that it was good. I think the only way I'd eat at Bob Evans again is if I had no choice. read more

This Bob Evans is understaffed, but the food was good. Our server was nice but slow. They did not have a host or hostess, so seating was also very slow. This place also got a remodel. It doesn't look like a traditional Bob Evans...all the older folk were complaining about it. When you haven't changed the look of your country-themed breakfast place since its inception, then updating it from the checkered-oilcloth-farm look to a modern/ minimalist look is not a good idea. It's like combining a Frank Lloyd Wright ripoff with a barn. Also, from what my Granny and others said...OLD FOLKS DON'T LIKE IT. read more

This restaurant has steadily declined in service, and messed up orders. I hope the management team somewhere sees ASAP!

We waited a half hour to get in and we have now waited over an hour for food in a half empty restaurant. Won't be returning.

The food was nasty. One of my family members got a Veggie omelet and none of the vegetables were cooked. My potatoes were undercooked. And the lady that was serving us was absolutely rude. She gave us our drinks and never came back to ask how our meal was and she didn't even give us our food she had other people do it. After we complained to the manager our waitress finally came back and tried talking to us like we had the best experience ever. Not to mention in I was there for for my birthday celebration. Not going back there should've went to Denny's. read more

Went to this location and the service was terrible. Victoria was our waitress, she took our drink order and brought them right out. It took her 15 minutes to come back and take our order and the place was not busy at 2;00 pm. after she took our order I seen our food come to the window but she was to busy talking to her co-worker. when she finally got to our food some of it was cold so she had to have cooks remake some of it. I got my omelet after I ate that she got my hash browns and I ask about my bread. When I finished my hash browns she got my bread to me. This was all because she wanted to talk to her co-worker instead of serving her customer. read more

The WORST service I've experienced in a while. Was given a dirty highchair (sticky syrup) & had to wait while the waitress cleaned one off because "no one cleaned their highchairs this morning" (overheard waitress tell another coworker). No sugar in container on table. Empty ketchup bottle left on table for us to use. Waitress stayed MIA the entire visit almost. Refills were nonexistent. Food was horrible. Toast was so hard it LITERALLY felt like a brick! The restaurant was not even packed! THEN to top it off......the assistant manager walked away twice while ringing us out to help other people! Will NOT return to this location ever again!!!! read more
