Bob Evans has always been a reliable staple for a hearty, home-cooked meal, and this visit to the Jackson, MI location was no different. The restaurant had a homey, casual, and family-friendly atmosphere, which is exactly what you'd expect from this Midwest chain. It was clean and inviting, and my server was very nice and efficient. She took my order promptly, and my food arrived in a flash - just 10 minutes! I went with my usual: biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns. As you can see from the photo, the biscuits were golden brown and generously coated in a creamy sausage gravy. The hash browns were perfectly crispy, just the way I like them. Bob Evans is known for its consistency, and this location delivered. Sometimes, you just crave that familiar, comforting taste, and Bob Evans always hits the spot. read more

The food was good has usual, busy though right after church but was still able to get in on a timely fashion. Service was good and staff was friendly but business like.this is West Ave location in Jackson. read more

Well, I think that Bob Evans is slipping. I waited 30 minutes after I placed my order before my lunch food came. When I placed the order there were a lot of empty tables. The food was OK. Alexandria, my waitress was very attentive. However, the service was slow probably a hold up in the kitchen, the bathroom was filthy, and the air conditioning was jacked way up so that I felt like I was in a freezer. I left Alexandria a nice tip, but it will be a while before I return to this Bob Evans. read more

The food is amazing the wait staff is excellent has an easy ambience to carry on a conversation

Walked in, plenty of clean empty tables, was told that we would be seated, then the guy went and grabbed drinks for another table. There was at least 5 lady's behind the counter that were talking about god knows what staring at us at the door, we walked out went to Cracker Barrel and were seated within 1 min. read more

Stood there for 5 minutes and nobody said anything to us. They wasn't busy at all. Turned around to leave then they said something.

All great n not a long wait time They are almost as fast as food we really enjoy it there read more

Ordered a turkey with stuffing , mashed potatoes and green beans with turkey gravy I asked for the green beans to be on the side and this is what I get total pig slop no mashed potatoes and they gave me beef gravy. The manager was so busy talking with her staff about their breaks that she neglected to follow directions and put the green beans on the and on top of it the turkey was so dry it's uneditable this place needs to be shut down used to be a good family restaurant. No wonder there's nobody in there on a Sunday evening! read more

There was only 1 waitress working, but she did a very great job at serving our food, and making sure we were alright, and the staff was very low tonight. The Chicken Tenders were good. Same with the mashed potatoes. The manager definitely people to come to work ( no hate ) read more

Food was really good today. First time at a Bob Evans in almost 10 years. Just relocated here from the Northeast and the food was just as I remembered. Our server was amazing. My bill says my server was Zowie but my tired brain thought our server's name was Robin when I commented on her excellent service to the GM. Robin or Zowie you were very amazing this morning. Super nice and answered all questions about our meals. She even helped me pick my French Toast after I was stuck picking between that and the pancakes. read more

,I like the quality of the food for the most part , but since Covid things have not always been very consistent . I like one of the big salads , but quite often parts of it are missing like the pecans sometimes the cheese. If it is done according to the description in menu , it is a great salad. I like to get the side salad quite often as w ell and it has gotten much smaller lately. It seems to depend on who is working that day, I feel. I will continue to eat their food , t I hope they start to be more consistent. Someone needs to be watching how they are prepared and fixed for take out through Door Dash or Grubhub. read more

I went to Bob Wvens around 9am for take out ordered the pancakes wit a fruit cup. Place was busy due to holiday weekend. The blueberry pancakes were not that good. They were very dense not light and fluffy. The taste was off. I've had blueberry pancakes from BE before and was very pleased with them but this order today was not the best. I could not even taste the blueberries. read more

I stopped in here while traveling through the area. Stopped in for lunch. I don't have too much to say. I was seated immediately, and I ordered breakfast. It was as expected at Bob Evans. The eggs, bacon and hash browns were all good. Nothing to write home about but good. Same with the biscuits and gravy. If you love the meat gravy (as I do) it was really good. If you don't like the gravy, you probably won't like it. Overall I give it 3 stars, it is what it is. Not bad, not great. But you shouldn't be disappointed. read more

Our food was not cooked well. The toast was over cooked to the point of being crunchy. The meat in the omelet was overcooked. The scrambled eggs were overcooked as well. The edges were hard. Finally, the bacon was cooked so crispy that it was tasteless. We have been to this Bob Evans a few times before. Usually we enjoy our meals. Today I hope was an anomaly. Finally, the waiter was excellent. She made the food deficits tolerable. read more

We struck gold when we stopped in here for breakfast while travelling I94. Our server was sunny-side up! She was bubbly, cheerful and great at her job. I think her name was Christy, but our ticket says Rhonda. Just ask for the girl who made her own bacon and egg hair clips! That's a girl that loves her job! And I love Bob Evans for their biscuits, eggs and gravy. Always tasty. I've eaten at several locations in more than one state and they can always be counted on for a great breakfast and great service. Bonus: the banana bread available for $5 a loaf is out of the world good! Take one or two home. Toast on top of the stove with a little pat of butter. Pairs great with a steamy cup of coffee! read more

Very small portions of very bland food, the only thing that tasted good is the sausage gravy over biscuits.

Halfway though meal discovered MULTIPLE strands of hair on and embedded in chicken. Took everything in me to not throw up. read more

Popped in here after driving in from Florida. My boys and I were starving and our waiter Joey came to the table within minutes of being seated for our drink order. I explained our starvation issue and asked to order everything at once... there was a hitch.... we are a food epi-pen worthy allergy family. Always nervous about my son's peanut treenut allergy I always double check the oil situation with his fries. My son is spec needs, he's not verbal and would not be able to communicate a problem. Joey double checked the kids meals we order and promptly came back that we were good to go. My order was a bit more challenging. The sirloin steak smothered with mushroom and onions was what I ordered, I am highly allergic to mushrooms. Joey came back out and explained how everything was going to be cooked, then Christopher the chef came out and explained it as well and how my steak specifically was going to be cooked completely separate from everything else! Our food was carefully prepared by Christopher and Cooper. A huge thanks to Joey, Christopher and Cooper for providing a great safe experience and a wonderful meal!! ***update another dining guest was gracious enough to pass along an extra discount coupon!!! read more

Bob Evans - Discount coupon sent to our table from another patron!! - American Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

I came to visit from California, and right of the bat our waitress Lacy was FANTASTIC! She went above and beyond to make sure we were good and our baby was happy! Fast forward to the end of the meal.... I accidentally left the restaurant without my Invisalign retainer ‍ when I came back of course it was thrown out because it blends in so well! Miss Lacy went ABOVE AND BEYOND TO FIND IT FOR ME!!!! I can't thank her for enough! The entire Bob Evin Team is was amazing! I will be back! read more

Service was great, food was cooked as requested, coffee was always full. This Bob Evan's needs to train other stores how to run. Great Job Bob Evan's of Jackson read more

My son and I stopped for breakfast on our way home from Detroit. he's never had bob evans and in the past I enjoyed it. they were not busy and was seated quickly. Then we waited for our server to take our order for 20min. we decided to just leave. very disappointed. I will definitely not stop at this location again. read more

Ordered breaded chicken with mashed potatoes/gravy and green beans. Order was delivered with no mashed potatoes. I called the manager and was told they (Bob Evans) needs to be more careful with orders. read more

Stopped in this morning for a relaxed visit with relatives. Oh yeah, had breakfast too! No complaints about the breakfast, in fact, this was just perfect for our group. Everything was fine. I recommend. read more

Good service. Consistent food quality. I usually go here about 1 time per week for lunch. I love the bean soup. Great cobb salad. read more

Honestly will not go back to this location, the food was late the orders incomplete and service was some of either the most inexperienced or simply worst I've had in years you fixed me I won't visit again read more

Really unorganized. This place was being run like there was one manager and everyone else was brand new being trained. I ordered carryout on a night when it was pouring rain, and I obviously wasn't the only one who had that idea. There were a couple other people in there when I walked in, and I walked up to the counter where there's a sign that says "Carry Out Pickup" (or something to that effect). I waited for about 10 minutes before being acknowledged, even though there were a couple people behind the counter. Finally, someone asks if I'm here to pick up, and then tells me I've been waiting in the wrong spot- you're supposed to pick up at the register, not where there's a sign that says "pick up here". While I was waiting, I eavesdropped on the conversation between another woman and the lady behind the counter. All I heard her say was, "I assumed since I ordered it with the rest of my food that it would be ready with it 45 minutes ago." Yikes! Glad I only had to wait 10 minutes... It took two people to ring me up, because the girl at the register had no idea what she was doing. The only reason this is two stars instead of one is because the food was good, and my order was correct. read more

The worst excuse for service I have ever experienced. Three of us and not one meal was correct. Had to go to the counter to ask for the items not received. Burger was so overcooked it was hard. Water requested, as well as sour cream, not brought to us. Whole hog had wrong potatoes and no bacon. Ordered soup with chicken dinner, not received, nor were the biscuits that came with it. When the manager came to the table, he gave me a $2.00 discount... My soup, for the record cost more than that. Then, they just avoided the table. I have never had a more disappointing experience, anywhere. Tasha and Christopher could use a customer service class or two. Absolutely disgusted with the service we received. If I was able to leave negative stars this review may have been a little more accurate. read more

Have ordered out several times. Have had deliveries and pickups. First two were very good. Delivery was great and food was excellent delivery with good size portions. Have had three pickups and food was not as good and portions were much smaller. Very disappointed for the $$$ Probably would not recommend. read more

Good food. Ordered scrambled eggs and it was the premixed kind. I'll remember to order over easy from now on. Turkey sausage links were good but a bit hard from being a little over cooked. Grits were awesome. Dry rye toast was fresh. Fresh coffee. My fiancé ordered the new breakfast bowl (3 types, he ordered the regular one) and wow was that thing huge! Couldn't eat last third. Good service (love it when you're done with a plate and it's immediately cleared off the table). Good location. Plenty of parking. Good crowd of people. I recommend this Bob Evans. read more

Great homestyle food!!!! Country fried steak, pancakes, deep dish chicken awesomeness!!!!!

Best one (1) locally (other Jackson, Adrian and Coldwater). This one has a bright and spacious interior, quick service by waitperson and server with "HOT" food (not setting in window waiting to be delivered to the customer). Employees not standing around in conversation with one another, but getting food out to the customer or busing tables soon after the occupants departed. The place had an active environment both by the employees and customers coming and leaving. read more

We had a very long wait to be seated which wasn't to surprising. The waitress came for our order fairly quick. It took about 40 minutes for our food to come. My boyfriend order a vanilla coffee received a cappuccino instead. Our toast was super dry. I've had good experiences here but today fell short. read more

Pancakes were not done how the menu described and went on to tell me I have to go back up there to get the stuff to put on the pancakes myself. I didn't not pay for food that I'd have to put together myself. I understand covid but the customer service was horrible read more

This was a very nice place to eat and our waiter Chris was amazing he was very tentative and made sure to check on you often. A lot of customers seemed to know him and they also thanked him for such great service. The food was amazing and I enjoyed the skillet omelette plate. read more

Today's experience was terrible. We waited a long time for a server to even take our drink orders, Our table must not have be assigned to a server. When we finally got our drinks, the server said he was going on break and another person would be taking over. We did not see her for a long time, not for bread, not to give orders, nothing. I went and asked to speak to the Manager, and he is the only one who truly served us. No refills on drink, no cranberries with my Turkey dinner, a toasted cheese sandwich with VERY little cheese. It will be a while before I will trust this place again read more

Bob Evans has always been one of our favorite restaurants. Since we moved to the South locations are not as prevalent as they are in Michigan and we miss it. Tonight we are up visiting family and stopped in for dinner on the way in. This location didn't disappoint! Casey was our server and she was terrific. Kudos also to the cooks in the kitchen. The pot roast was amazing! Just as tender and juicy as I remembered and came out quick and hot! The restaurant was clean and well maintained signs of a great management team. Thanks for the great experience and living up to our memories. read more

I don't know where to being with this place, normal we have a good dinner, nothing over cooked or under cooked. Today was the worst experience I've had at this bob evens the table behind us hasn't been clean in about 45 mins the table next to us about 20 mins. These people here tonight do not care about what this place looks like or how their customers feel about how it's been kept up and my boyfriend and I have been sitting here for ten minutes done with our food and no one has came over to give us or bill. It seems like they are more interested in socializing than caring for us...tonight Denny's would of been a better place to eat than here. read more

Great place. Consistent and clean! Always good wait staff and a decent value for the type and amount of food.

Went to this location and had Shaun as our server. He was great! Very friendly and attentive, this was the best experience we have had at Bob Evans and we have been to this location a lot! read more

Sooooooo inconsistent. Your experience will largely depend on your server and who is cooking. Recent experience has been poor at best -- how can they undercook hotcakes (then blame it on the batter)!! If this is what Bob Evans is becoming, they won't have my business. read more
