Came here for an early Thanksgiving as a family member will be having surgery right before thanksgiving and unable to partake. I was amazed at how many people had the turkey dinners as we walked bake to our table. I haven't been to a Bob Evans in so long and it hasn't changed. Still very homey looking. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. She brought us waters and refills of iced tea regularly. I had the smaller portion turkey meal which was perfect. The regular turkey dinner comes with a vegetable. That is the only difference, except smaller portion. The stuffing was too salty and the meal was wam, not hot. My husband's was the same. The turkey potatoes and gravy were tasty. The biscuit was light and fluffy. I gave 4 stars as it was a good value. Otherwise, it would've got 3. It would be a strong four with less salt and served hot not luke warm. Good place for home style meal. read more

Bob Evans - Smaller portion dinner $8.99 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Service was good but the food and portions were awful. Pancakes were small and tasted like batter. They gave me a very small portion of hash browns. Biscuits were hard as a rock. Save your time and go somewhere else. read more

Arrived 10:45 not too busy and we never got our food until we asked for it to be packed to go at 11:45 . Forgot half the order in the Togo. Meal was lost on the board apparently. We left Bob Evans a while back for same issues.... Seems like a systemic issue. Sorry Bob no more business from Us read more

Picked up food while traveling through. Location is convenient, right next to the Super 8 we were staying at for the night. Takeout was fast and the employee was friendly. Curbside pickup was a breeze, too. Unfortunately, the food was both extremely oily and bland. The steak tips plate was especially depressing, the picture attached is what we received and saw upon opening the takeout bag, minus some eating of the hashbrown. Overall, we paid $14.99 for this plate (and $32 total for the order) and were very disappointed. Way overpriced for what we received. read more

At first I saw the 2 star rating and almost drove away. But we walked in and the place was super clean. Greeted immediately and sat. Server was quick. Good came quickly and was delicious. Our party of four loved the experience. read more

Bob Evans - menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Well I tried the same breakfast I had when I last came here. Two biscuits with white gravy and an over easy egg on top, along with a fruit cup instead of the hash browns. Let me start by saying the waitress we had was excellent, she deserves a raise. The service couldn't ave been better. Very timely, friendly, and she made us feel like we were at home. Unfortunately the food did not fare as well. The biscuits were still as dried out as the last time. I am wondering if the cook knows that biscuits should not be hard. I don't know if they use yesterday's biscuits or just over bake them. Either way they shouldn't be served like that. The egg was prepared correctly. The white gravy was passable, but nothing to write home about. I would rate the service as a 4 or 5 stars. The food was a 1 star. read more

We ate at Bob Evans this morning and the food was not good. They served our southwest omelet with black guacamole on top that was black. We mentioned that we wanted some that was fresh so they took our plates and gave us the same guac stirred up. It tasted awful. The omelets were cold and our coffee didn't taste fresh so we ordered oj. The rye toast was good. I wondered why there were not many people in the restaurant on a Saturday morning. The floor was so slick and when we mentioned it the general manager seemed annoyed that we brought it up. The server was pleasant considering she was taking care of most of the tables by herself. When we walked out we decided to never eat there again. read more

So.....I decided to splurge on the seafood platter. Haven't had clam strips since Willow Brau in Willoughby closed. I eagerly opened the large brown paper bag to find it mostly empty. The sides I chose were in small containers. The soup portion is not equal to a corelle coffee cup. Now the seafood. Cold despite the restaurant being less than a mile away. One fish filets and 2 broken bits were hard to identify as they blended in with the clam strips. The clam strips were more bits. Like the bottom of the bag you usually throw out. Not much flavor consitency of rubber bands. The 3 shrimp were small , cold and rubbery. Overall very disappointed. Especially the clams which proved to be inedible. read more

We had a wonderful waitress. Service was wonderful in all ways. Four of us ordered with two checks, and all went well. Food was hot and delicious. Clean. We finished at 10 a.m. The line waiting for seating was out the door. read more

Me and my gal went in to bob Evans for dinner and we were greeted by a server named Cameron and let me tell you he was awesome. My side was running late and he said if he could go in the kitchen and cook it he would that's the ambition everyone needs. If any manager sees this please give Cameron a raise read more

This is the store that made me fall in love with Bob Evans. The large menu is a bonus can't go wrong with having alot to choose from. I love the candied bacon mmm good. I ordered 2 because I couldn't believe how good it was. I gotbthe steak and eggs and everything was amazing this is hands down the best breakfast place I've been to havnt tried much on the rest of the menu but only been a few times will be back to try other things. read more

I visited this Bob Evans this morning. The food was delicious but the server was not attentive. We told her we wanted the biscuits that come with the breakfast before the breakfast came out. She never brought. She said she was going to get my husbands diet coke refill but never returned until she brought all our food out and by his time a different waitress so kindly noticed my husbands empty diet coke cup and offered to bring another before our own waitress came. She dropped off food in a rush too not even seeing if we needed anything else. I will come back to visit Bob Evans because the breakfast foods are delicious but if a server can't serve the customers attentively like a server is suppose to then the 10 % tip or less is in order! read more

Awful service--avoid this place! We had a party of 7, but called about 9:30 to check how long the wait would be. Woman told me 5-10 minutes because we'll push some tables together. We sent half the party over at 9:50 with the balance of the group arriving by 10:00. When we put our name on the list upon arrival, we were told 10 minutes. An HOUR later, we were finally seated. The hostess took us back to the corner of the dining room where I counted no less than 6 empty tables, 3 of which seated at least 5. I spoke to the Manager, about the need to manage expectations for customer's wait times. All he offered was an apology and the assurance "you'll have a great time". Didn't even offer so much as a free biscuit or cup of coffee. This place is not worth the poor service. The food is no better than any other breakfast place. read more

Top hat. I noticed Bob Evans had a tv ad for french toast and broster chicken. They both looked like a real treat. So in the morning had the french toast. (Bad) way to sweet. Then in the evening thinking it was just a bad dream I went to try the chicken. It turned out that it was done a day ago and reheated.Bad Bob Evans. Will not try stunt again. read more

So I went to this location for brunch and left my hat I called up to see if they had found it told the gentleman [I believe said he was the manger] where I was sitting and got my name and phone number and said he couldnt find it. The hat was a really important to me so I went up and guess what it was right on the booth that im sure they dont clean. Was told he had left for the day and was met with hostility when I asked for the area mangers number to say how upset I was that he couldnt have even looked and lied to me. Will never go back to this location. btw the lady that was rude when I went up was named linda and had blonde hair. read more

Consistently good for breakfast. Very friendly and patient staff (I had a table of 5 young kids). Yes, it was me and 5 kids (Tita (aunt in Tagalog) duty)! Typical breakfast food so nothing to write Yelp to (get it? get it?) hee hee! But, one thing to let you all know is to get those dinner rolls!!! You heard me right. Even though it was breakfast, get the dinner yeast rolls! The best! Had some for the table and ordered some to go! I live in Atlanta now, and we don't have Bob Evans, so I had to order a box of rolls to go! read more

Amazing food every time. Service can be a little slow, but they are generally great, and it's worth the wait.

Nasty. I got the Thanksgiving dinner to go. Portions were tiny and turkey tasted and had the texture like plastic fake food. Stay away.

If you like a lot of salt on your food before you might think about adding the normal limited amount this place is for you. The food is overpriced for the minute portions served. Thir wait time and service to get seated and get served are unacceptable since the place was practically empty at the time of visit. read more

My wife and I use to be huge fans of Bob Evans, great food, service, etc. However, it seems like within the past 2-3 years the service has gotten to the point of awful. The servers take a long time to start the drinks, food takes a long time, no checking in for refills. This all happens when they aren't busy either, so it's not a staffing issue always. The problem seems to not just be at this location but many others in the area too. Eating out is not cheap now days so we are taking our business somewhere else that will appreciate it. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch because we wanted omelets. Not many people there, but lots of dirty tables that needed bussed. We waited way too long to be seated. Then we waited way too long for coffee. Then we waited way too long for pricey, mediocre food. See the pattern. read more

Our weekend breakfast go to. Can't beat the Farmer's Choice breakfast. The French toast is yummy!

Went here with my daughter and my friend. Not busy at all. They seated us right away. Server came and brought us waters which is what we ordered to drink. Took our order. Didn't here from here again until we were getting up to leave after 50 minutes of waiting. Before leaving I went to talk with the manager and he said he'd be right over to talk with us. 10 minutes pass and he still didn't show. He hid in the back. When we were getting up to leave, our server comes over quickly saying the the grill wasn't working. That didn't stop the order of the guy who came in and ordered after we did from getting his steak and eating his meal, paying for it and out the door ten minutes before. Went to Applebee's and got our order right away and were on our way out within 40 minutes. read more

I do really enjoy their breakfast here. I myself am not a big fan of their other foods but my girlfriend really likes coming here. She enjoys the BBQ and the pancakes. The ice tea is always fresh and the service has been on point over the years. I've been coming to this location for years and I've never had a bad experience. I wouldn't come here for dinner or even lunch but its a sold three star breakfast. read more

The food is ok. Hostess nice. Cashier nice. It's the service that is lacking. Twice. In less than a year. We went on a weekend in 2015. Food ok, service stinks. Went again this weekend. Food good, service stinks. And the funny thing is, I think it is the luck of the draw. We just got a terrible waitress both times. Our waitress took our order but forgot to bring our drinks. Bad news when you have a coffee addict and someone who hasn't had anything to drink so far that day. Another waitress brought our drinks. Another waitress brought our food. Then our waitress got the idea we were lonely. Then it was overkill. But we didn't get a check. read more

Went to bob Evans yesterday morning and well... * server was a bit unattentive. * a bit to crowded for my taste. * sausage gravy tasted like a microwave recipe from Aldis. * coffee was good but so is dunkin donuts... read more

This location has become synonymous with bad Service and poor food. They have servers who are next to clueless about customer service. They just look for the tip. Bob Evans is one of the greatest restaurants ever. It is ruined in most every location. Wish I could give no stars. FYI to start this experience off, my grand baby was served SPOILED chocolate milk. read more

I put in an online order which stated it would be ready at 8:05PM and I chose to pay when I picked it up as I have a online gift card. I arrived at 8:10PM and there were many people waiting to pick up carry out orders. I asked about mine and was told it would be ready "shortly, there are people ahead of me". After waiting until 8:35PM and still no order, I left. I will no longer go to this Bob Evans. read more

The food is usually good but the service is usually terrible. Most of the servers are agonizingly slow and you have a 50/50 chance of getting the right order. read more

I have been there several times over past few years and the service has always been very good. The servers are usually in good humour and very pleasant, with no attitudes. We go there for breakfast primarily; and my most recent visit (last Sunday June23 2013) was only OK as far as food goes. Two complaints # 1 The coffee is horrible! Whatever "new & improved" blend they're using...ditch it! Too strong & dark for me! Maybe it was just that brew batch; but it sucked. My wife who is a huge coffee drinker agreed 100%. Issue # 2 The home fries (cubed) were hard 50% of the time, which I hate. I've been to other outlets like Perkins etc. where they are much better. They have re-vamped the entrance to this location, removing the counter from just inside the front door; which is a good improvement. Overall just 2 stars, and will probably avoid this location from now on. read more

They have the best french toast around mentor. The pop however is quite disgusting. The Kids menu has a well crafted and explary picture development. The service is quite quaint read more

Super slow service , kept blaming computers, others who arrived after us served before us , so food was super cold , no one cared about it at all, seemed strange that everyone just brushed off the issues read more

We were on an overnight trip from Geauga county for my sons birthday. I had coupons for Bob Evans because we had such an awful experience at the Chardon BE. So I treated my son to breakfast at BE on Sunday. Wow what a difference from Chardon!!!!! This is the BE I remember from growing up!! We arrived at a busy time of 10 am. The Place was busy and we gave our name but didn't have long to wait. Our waitress was great and on the ball. We both had the new Brioche French toast, Mine with blueberries as part of the farmers breakfast. I was sooo good!!!! While we were eating a manager came around greeting every table and asking how things were. I told him about Chardon and said I was glad that there was still good BE's out there and we'd be back. The restaurant was just so efficient. We will be back!!! read more

Arrived at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It was moderately busy. Waitress was unattentive and brought out one of our kids plates first...leaving the other angry for 4 minutes till theirs came out. The waitress did not bring out the food in proper order as in cole slaw first with breads to tide you over....she just brought it all out at once and then acted like it was a problem that we needed condiments. Refills were hard to come by also. The woman's bathroom was horrible and didn't have soap as it appeared the regular one was broken and they had no more in a little bottle they had placed on the counter. So I had to go out and ask for soap...after quite a wait, the manager comes out and appologizes, which I did appreciate but said that he was sending one of the workers to go buy more soap right now as the one was broken and they had none......so I still wanted to wash my hands and had to then have them check the men's so I could grab soap and go wash my hands in the women's. After all this it's nice to say at least the food tasted great...but how will this matter if nothing else is going right there? This is my second visit to them recently that has not been a good time, which is sad as it used to be a nice stop. read more
