Waited over an hour for our food and there were open tables in the restaurant. Half of our group of 5's orders were incorrect and/or items were missing. This was a horrid breakfast experience and we left more angry than anything. Food quality was also poor, my omelette was dry and spinach was runny with oil. Won't be back again. Ever. read more

We sat at a table for 20 minutes and were never even acknowledged. I asked to speak to a manager and was told there was no manager on premise. We finally left and will NOT BE BACK! VERY DISAPPOINTED read more

What can you say!? The food is good but the service could use better attention! Both servers had been working a very long shift, one of which had been there since 08:00 and by the time we left it was going on 20:00. Our server a curly hair young man was complaining about how long his day had been. They both had multiple tables and still had lots of things to get done on the side. I saw management a couple of times, but we're very helpful! However there was still more going on at the work station than on the floor. Tables didn't get completely neglected, but didn't get impeccable service either. Because a table behind me had finished their meal, and stat quietly waiting for their server to come back to the table before finally being able to ask for the check. What didn't help is when a very tall person, who had been riding a motorcycle came in to chat with the curly hair server. A complete distraction nothing more! Now I'm not saying anyone was neglected, but what I am saying is service needs improvement. read more

What can I say Bob Evans is American style breakfast. The prices are low and service is good & the place is nice and clean. The best part about this place is they serve Pepsi products which is a big plus for my husband since it's very rare to find a restaurant that offer Pepsi. One of the reasons why I like coming to Bob Evans I get to enjoy breakfast and my husband get to enjoy a lunch. Our food was good & service was on point. My husband got to take a Pepsi to go. read more

Have been going to this restaurant for years, today was our last attempt. We normally go every Saturday morning around 7ish because my wife works at 9. Last three times we went the doors and they were locked. The times were between 7:15 and 7:25 the restaurant is supposed to to open up at 7 on Saturdays. There are always staff in the place but doors are locked. We found another place to spend our Saturday mornings. read more

Love coming here if I am craving their oh so good pot roast dinner. That pot roast is very delicious. Tender fork good. They offer banana bread as an offering if you don't care for the biscuits that comes with meal ordered. The banana bread is delicious. They sell it on its own by the registers. I have tried other dinner bell options such as the lemon pepper sole filet, mushroom and onion chopped steak. The pot roast is still my top choice. My sides are usually corn, carrots or broccoli or even mashed potatoes. The sweet potatoes side to me tasted more like home fries. Strawberry lemonade is my go to drink choice. Staff here are friendly and Love their merch! Especially during the holidays offerings! I have bought ornaments for my sister because they were unique lol The t shirts are also adorable! I am a fan of bob evans, That's for sure! read more

A good, basic fare. The prices are more than fair considering the other places nearby. While we attended (After Church) it was packed and we had to wait for about 20 minutes. The servers we all very busy and working hard. Management could use more staff. Bottom line: Good food, (nothing fancy) at a more than fair price. We will come back. read more

Wife and I decided to have a late lunch here New Years Eve. Big Mistake. Although we've eaten here quite a few times over the past couple of years and have overlooked several minor things like being way too cold for comfort while eating and always, always having too little staff available., it has almost always had good food. Today that was surely not the case. I ordered the Roast Beef Dinner and the beef was like the dregs on the bottom after everyone's been served. l mean like baby food, no solid pieces, just strings of shredded beef, served in a bowl, not on a plate! The waitress asked the chef about it, and the chef said it was the same as usual, but this is NOT THE CASE. This beef was like mush, like someone else had already chewed it up and spit it out. We've always enjoyed the beef and turkey dinners and they were always great. My wife had the special turkey sandwich and the chicken cranberry salad and they were good. Nery a complaint, just good eats. I dont know what the problem was, a chef who didn't give a damn, or the chain cutting back on quality. Whatever it was, we'll not be returning because this scenario is unacceptable. I hope someone who oversees franchise service sees this because it is a shame for one person to be able to ruin perception of the entire chain. On the other hand, if it is the chains attempt to lower their costs, It'll be sad to see Bob Evans on the list of restautants to be going out of business. Our waitress couldn't have been nicer, she did her best and gave us excellent service, Too bad she was the only one. read more

Decent breakfast place that I've recently discovered has quite a few locations. The service is really great here, as our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The best thing to get here is the hot chocolate and the breakfast items such as hashbrowns, eggs, and French toast. The sausage links and bacon are also good side items - very tasty! I do not recommend the pancakes here as they do not cook them all the way through or they're soggy. If you're ever here, there are also items for souvenirs such as t-shirts and candy, as well as fun toys and games for kids. Overall, ok place but one of the more commercialized restaurants here in Lake Wales. read more

Bob Evans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Wales, Florida

My mate ordered a chicken fried steak.....it was the saddest thing I've ever seen on a plate. It was his first time at Bob Evans- he won't be back. I used to like Bob Evans but I was very embarrassed at the disgusting display - looked like a 3 year old threw something in the microwave and then gave it to a 60 year old to throw on the table. Awful presentation, awful food, awful service. A week later we went to Denny's and he ordered the same thing that he ordered at Bob Evans. No comparison. Bob Evans was awful - Denny's was much better. read more

Bob Evans - Absolutely disgusting and an easy clean. I'm not sure why they think this is okay in anyway. Crumbs between the table cracks. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Wales, Florida

First of all it was freezing inside. Literally shivering waiting for our meal. Meal was horrible, not to mention COLD. The bacon was re heated so many times it was crunchy with a fat back taste and the grits and toast was so cold the butter wouldn't melt. I didn't say anything to the server, but when I went to pay our bill I was asked by the gentleman how was everything. I preceded to tell him everything on my meal was cold. He said let me see if I can discount your meal. He can back and said unfortunately next time tell the server as I can't discount after the fact. I would never stop in and eat at this Bob Evans again. If you like to be comfortable and eat a nice hot meal, I would not suggest this Bob Evans. read more

Was pretty sad that this was my husbeast's first experience with Bob Evans. We were seated immediately, our drinks brought out promptly, and orders taken promptly. Now this is where it went sideways. It took 50min to get our order. It was 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy(barely warm biscuits and Lukewarm gravy) and grits (over cooked and so thick it could have been mortar). I ordered the 2egg scrambled (overcooked to rubbery) turkey sausage (lukewarm) and fresh fruit. I asked our server after 45min when we could expect our order. She said: We have 1 cook and the manager in the kitchen right now because 2 people no-showed today. You are just going to have to be patient. That would have been handy to know when we were seated. read more

Never can go wrong I live this place, Taney are very kind , very fast service, excellent menu, prices very affordable, the waiters are very friendly and helpful, if you never try this place go gif it I recommended 100%. Thank Bob Evans read more

Good food. Coleslaw is good. Better than McDonald's burgers. Seating area is small, but food is fresh and quick

Not impressed at all with this establishment at this location. Visiting from out of town and needed to grab a quick meal. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was ok. Could have made one at home better. The waitress argue with me when I asked where the dipping sauce was that came with it. Hello I know what I read. She was rude. After she must have looked at the menu and brought it to me. No apologies or nothing. Won't be visiting this one again. When I go to Bob I expect better quality food. read more

Being from Wisconsin I had to stop in to get the sausage gravy. It was good but I didn't eat a lot of it as I know it isn't great for you. The mini sampler was a good way to go so I got sausage, egg, hashbrowns, and toast. The wife got oatmeal and fruit. All of the food was served hot and the service was good. I thought the prices were a little steep but they do have quality ingredients it seems. I'm sure I'll be back again one day but it isn't an everyday stop or a must go for me. read more

I'm only giving this a two star because the servers were very nice and efficient. First of all, the bathrooms need a good cleaning top to bottom. The floor is disgusting . I owned a medical building cleaning business and I can tell when trash hasn't been emptied, so at 1:30 in the afternoon , unless they had mass quantities of customers( which I doubt) the large trash can in women's bathroom was overflowing. A sure sign of neglect. Now, the food. Greasy. I got a roast beef dip sandwich.. bread, everything.. greasy. My friend had a fried chicken sandwich.. super greasy and the fries limp with grease. Sorry, but I'm thinking this place needs to be closed and cleaned properly throughout and that would include the griddle/grill. Bob Evans of old were a treat to visit. Not this one. read more

I've tried to have success at this particular location for awhile now, and I've just given up frankly. Management here is just completely lacking with no oversight to quality (freshness) or customer service. Too bad since Bob Evan's has some decent locations to get a meal fairly quick and easy. read more

Visited with a party of 7 including 3 children. Staff was super pleasant and attentive. Food was hot and fresh and very tasty. Ceiling tiles could use some cleaning, but other than that, it seems pretty clean. read more

Bob Evans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Wales, Florida

Was having a great time in Tanners, having drinks and playing music on the you-pay-for-it service TouchTunes. Asked for the volume to be turned up a bit so I could hear what I'd PAID FOR and the bar staff were very nice, trying to keep it low enough not to be intrusive but still entertaining. People were dancing to the music I was playing. But on the last song, one I'd dedicated to my friend who was headed north for a few months, the MUSIC NAZI manager came by, spouted some crap about people complaining about the music being too loud and turned it down to the point we couldn't hear it. You know....FINE. If managing a bar is all about going around and finding things that are wrong, so be it. So, do the same thing when the band is too loud and playing crap no one likes or understands. But this manager basically RUINED the evening by deciding the music was too much. I'm willing to bet that not ONE person complained about the music but the MUSIC NAZI decided it was too much. FYI. You don't have to worry about barring me from coming in again because I won't be back. The MUSIC NAZI made sure of that. read more

I was seated at a table and then ignored for 20 minutes, so I left. At least three different people walked past me and helped other people.

I just wanted to make a quick review and say I love this restaurant. The service here is really fast they are a little bit understaffed but it's totally understandable. I also wanted to give a huge shout out to Shawntele. She was my waitress and she did an amazing job. She is super speedy and very kind. I recommend anyone that goes to this restaurant to ask to be served by her! Also Kaylee who works at front cashier is super sweet!! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I got to say I like the food allot, but the service was sub par of the 3 times the waitress came to our table to refill my water never did she refill my wife's ice tea and make shore you check your silverware mine was NEVER washed and it took 5 mins after my food came out for the waitress to bring me clean silverware , I truly don't like eating other people's food read more

Great breakfast all the food was good and come out fast. Bob Evans knows what's up. Honey butter chicken Biscuit

Came here on a whim as we were traveling by. I've been to a couple of these establishments in other states and figured we couldn't go wrong. Glad we did. When you first enter, the facility is very clean and nicely setup. You can tell this place seems new. Upon entering it feels very inviting and self explanatory as far as getting a seat. We were promptly seated and then given our booth. I liked the menu. Since we were here for breakfast, we only browsed the breakfast items. I don't know if all the menus are the same but they must've revamped their menu. There were a lot of new things I had never seen and really liked. From vegetarian omelette's to the full blown carnivore diet. I had the Santa fe style omelette while my parents had a vegetarian omelette and a cornmush (that's what it says) breakfast along with hashbrowns and extra sausages on the side. Time for food to get to us was very minimal and for a breakfast appetizer they gave us both banana and pumpkin spices slices of bread. Holy moly... that bread was fantastic! If you don't agree to try any of these, you're missing out! Overall, you have great tasting food, good service, and all a fair price. You can't go wrong! Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 4 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Repeat customer: yes read more

Beyond disappointed with the service I received tonight. Took forever to be sat down, food was overcooked, and our waitress took over 20 minutes to even come to us. When she finally got there she was clearly drugged out (eyes were bloodshot and she could barely form a sentence) and reeked of cigarette smoke. When I mentioned the issue to another staff member the response was "Yeah that sounds about right" Absolutely no accountability. Will not be returning. read more

I will give them a four star it is ok food my Husband loves them I will say they do have a great pot pie and their blueberry cake is really good read more

We ordered a takeout. As always food was hot and delicious. We recommend Bob Evans in Lake Wales.

What a mistake it was to choose going to THIS Bob Evans restaurant. People know from Bob Evans. It didn't happen today so I have to review this place to warn others. It has to be the management of this particular restaurant as to how bad today was. It started off with realizing there is no soap in the bathroom and an older lady expressing how there was no toilet paper in her stall. Both she and I went to inform management of the situation. We were told with a smile that it's been a very busy day and they are short staffed. Excuses, no apologies, no promise to correct it. Our server tried her best and was running around like a poor beaten straw dog. The turkey plate was dry, half their normal size and thin cut. We were promised over and over, a drink refill, then our ticket. As we waited in like the 5 people ahead of us, all of them told the lady checking them out how dirty the place was and they would never be back. I think everyone felt that way today. Yes, it is Mother's Day today. Again, management should have been prepared. IF YOU CANT HANDLE THE CROWD, TURN THEM AWAY, DON'T RUIN THEIR DAY! read more

The breakfast is good , the wait staff as well plus free Wi-Fi can't go wrong with that

We ate there for dinner last night. Lack luster greeting and seating should have been an indication to leave but we stayed. We asked for a booth but were told they were all dirty. Seated at a really wobbly table that was handicap noted. Our waitress tried to be attentive but our food took forever to get to us. Grilled chicken salad and a garden salad with half of a turkey sandwich should not take near a half hour to get to us, especially when there were only a few people in the place. The turkey sandwich had so much spread on it that it was almost inedible. I used a spoon to take off the excess. Very disappointed! read more

As soon as we walk in we were greeted with smiling faces and quickly got a table. Our server was the most patient and genuine person. She was very attentive and we sure that our drinks were always filled. The restaurant was very clean and the food was phenomenal the pancakes were amazing!! (I usually don't order pancakes) Will come back!!! read more

I work as a delivery driver and I love bob evans, I order take out and pick up orders for customers quit frequently. Last night on 12/31 New Year's Eve. I ordered a family feast meal scheduled to pick up at 8:30 PM, (THIS LOCATION CLOSES AT 9PM). I arrived at 8:10 so I decided to sit in my vehicle until it was time to pick up my order. First one female came out and started looking at my vehicle, didn't mind it until 2 more female employees came out and started looking at my car like I'm not supposed to be there making me feel very uncomfortable, They were laughing. And then walked in the store and came out the front door and waved their hand for my attention, as I drove up (I assumed my order was ready). The employees screamed as if they were in fear . when I drove to the pick up door which I always go through when I go to pick up an order, a female screamed again and started hiding. I pulled on the take out door to find it locked that's when I saw the 3 female employees duck and hide and scream again, the door was also locked ( IT WAS ONLY 8:15pm). After knocking on the door after the employees hid?? A lady of color I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE. Came to the the door and assisted me. The reason I want you to know it was a lady of color is because I don't know know her name and she needs credit, she was the only person doing her job. As for the other 3 female employees they were very unprofessional. I highly suggest you take a look at this locations cameras at around that time so you can see that was occurred was true and crazy I can't believe how unprofessional and immature those KIDS were acting. and the food I ordered was cold, the fries were soggy, and read more

The food is always ready quickly and today, I had a bacon cheeseburger that was enormous. The salad before my burger was fresh, crisp lettuce with lots of crunchy croutons and a generous supply of chunky bleu cheese dressing. Refilled soda often. Good American hearty home cooking read more

Embarrassing. Took an hour for the food and no one explained why. Everyone in the place was complaining and there were plenty of employees running around.
