    The façade, lighted by the rising sun
    Michael S.

    So it's way too early to be awake, and I'm here at the Bob Evans closest to my digs. With all the reviews I've read I have a bit of trepidation stepping over the threshold, but it's nothing like I was led to expect. The place is brightly lighted, the workers are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, complete with a clear greeting, happy smile, and purpose. The clientele is varied, both by age and socioeconomic strata. (I hear retirees and kids discussing adding NO2 to their cars' engines.) From the Bowls & Skillets section of the very large menu I pick The Everything Breakfast ("includes Bob Evans' sausage, hickory-smoked ham, hardwood-smoked bacon, three scrambled fresh-cracked eggs, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and hollandaise sauce on a bed of hash browns. Served with a freshly-baked biscuit.") because why not? The steaming, hot coffee arrives within moments, with a side of half-and-half; the proffered French Vanilla creamer gets a thumbs-down. The coffee is tasty, has a great aroma, and stays drinkable over the few minutes it cools. That, in itself, is a wonderful wake-up treat. The food arrives in less than five minutes. (Not something I usually clock, but given some of the whinging I've read, something I was considering.) It's a big bowl, covered from edge to edge. Each element contributes its own flavor: the sausage is earthy, the ham is sweet and smokey, and the hollandaise goes well with the eggs and the meat. As I watch the shaved cheddar cheese melting I realize that I'm happy to be digging into something so hearty. It's not perfect. The hash browns should've had another half-minute on the griddle, the cold tomatoes are a discordant note that would've been better warm, and a big 'ol spoon would be a way better method of attacking this open-faced omelette than the fork that I have. The biscuit is a bit confusing. It's dry. Why? I ask for some sausage gravy - which arrives in seconds - and things look up. The gravy is rich and the biscuit soaks up it's umami goodness. Oh, the waitress brings butter and jelly, which work even better than the gravy; perhaps I needed sweet to counter the savory. I have to say, this breakfast is exactly as advertised. My server, Katy (or is it Kelly, as the cheque suggests), has been just fantastic this morning. I am pleased with myself for giving Bob Evans a try. The sweatheart is happily making noises as she digs through the take-away contents, so there's another up-vote. Two people full on one breakfast and ready for a day of exploring more of Grand Rapids. I'm thinking that if you're not getting the best from places like this - and I can tell by some reviews that you're not - it might not be them. Just saying.

    Great food always fresh hot will definitely be going back real soon super clean was there Saturday morning at 7am to be one of the first to be served for the day

    Sirloin and shrimp
    Ronald W.

    Walked in and was greeted right away. Even by staff behind the counter. Service right away for beverages. Food was delivered fast. Everything was good. What would have made it great would have been cocktail sauce for the shrimp. Overall a good experience. We will visit again.

    Chicken Fried Steak
    Jenny C.

    I came into this place just a few days ago. I don't know if you recall but MI was experiencing one heat wave. As most places are closed around 3-4pm Bob Evans was not. I'm not from MI and visiting from CA but I usually don't have high expectations for food. So imagine my EXTREME hesitation when I saw through yelp that this place had ONE star rating. BUT nothing else was open. The restaurant was empty which made me seriously want to turn around. I was then drawn towards the friendly gentlemen and possibly my angry stomach for starving it. Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and also the Waffles. Food came quick and the server was very nice in asking if we were comfortable. Maybe its just me, but these portions were pretty BIG I attempted to order ice coffee but was politely told it wasn't on the menu, which was cool. One order of waffles, which took up the ENTIRE plate. There are 2 options for the Chicken Fried Steak, breakfast OR dinner. I chose the breakfast option which came with homestyle potatoes and my choice of bread (banana nut bread, rolls, or slice). The banana nut bread was super moist and really satisfying. I was actually full off the bread and coffee. The Chicken Fried Steak was the usual, nothing spectacular BUT nothing bad. The homestyle potatoes could have used a lil more seasoning, but ok. Also comes with 2 eggs anyway you want it Oddly a nice experience.

    The restaurant has a great family feel and the banana bread was displayed nicely at checkout if interested to purchase to take home.

    Came back recently for another date night with the wife. Atmosphere is cozy and intimate with a fun…read morelive music on Fridays. The reason we come back to this place is the extensive and tasty menu and you can get a deal of $100 worth of gift cards for $75 at Costco- hard to pass up. This trip I got the Reuben and it was pretty darn tasty though my only critique was the sauce was pretty sparse on it. My wife got the salmon and it was really delicious, great flavor. Of course we started with the bubbly brown too. Service was great and we'll definitely be back again.

    I finally got around to trying again. I still really like the atmosphere…read more This time I got their deviled eggs ($10) as an appetizer. I enjoyed them. Not doing anything special though, nothing popped as wow. I ordered the Smokeshow Burger ($21). This is a 1/2 lb. Char-grilled fatty burger, smoked gouda cheese, applewood and onion jam, dill pickles, haystack onions, and calabrian chili a on a grilled challah roll. The burger was very good. It was cooked to the correct desired doneness. Again it just wasn't anything special. I've had so many better burgers, but it is definitely better than average. I upgraded to fries and these were definitely the best thing of the night. Probably the best fries I've had in a restaurant in years. The service was excellent. Efficient and Jovial. Overall I'm upgrading to a 4 star review. Would I return? If someone else wanted to go, yes. Probably not if the choice is mine where to go. They are really busy and the people I was with really liked their meals, so maybe it's just my taste buds that don't love it
