Bob evans absolutely sucks ass. Flies everywhere, food was uncooked, bad smell in the restaurant, and even rude staff! I am never coming to this shack again. read more

Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Food is usually good and well priced but service is iffy. We use to have a good waitress named Libby, but found out that she is no longer there. This time most every staff worker was very oblivious to the customers until our server, Jasmine, made every effort to accommodate and serve. Many things have changed since COVID. Praying to God for a recovery. read more

You wacko Southerners need to get a grip. It's a Bob Freaking Evans not a Michelin star rated restaurant with a famous name chef. You're paying less than $10 for a three course meal and expect the world handed to you! LMAO!!! I had no problem getting a meal here the other day. Place looked clean. Was seated quickly. Had a very nice waitress who went out of her way to help me with my order when something on the menu was not available. Food came out quickly and for a Bob Evans was decent enough. Salad, two grilled chicken breasts with bbq sauce, baked sweet potato, and dessert all for $10. Judging by the negative reviews and nasty tips here you would think people were eating at a 5 star French restaurant and had a bad time. Again, it's a Bob Freaking Evans! It is what it is. A-OK to me. That being said, the banana bread here rocks! Eat a lot of it! read more

I was planning on going to The Cracker Barrel, but then I remembered Bob Evans biscuits and gravy. I haven't had it in a while and we both agreed it sounded great. So we ordered online and also ordered two orders of bacon, a cappuccino, and a slice of peanut butter pie. We got there at exactly the time the website said it would be ready and I still had to wait over 10 minutes for our order. When I got there the peanut butter pie was already sliced and sitting out. It was the only thing ready. Everything came out separately. The biscuits and gravy first then the gentleman realized there was two orders of bacon as well so he had to go back and push the cooks to get the bacon. Everything was at a snails pace. Apparently they were under staffed. Waiting was a pain, but the guy was nice and apologetic which helped. I just hate food getting cold more than anything. So I finally got all of our food and we drove a couple minutes back to the hotel. The peanut butter pie had had a major melt down as you can see from the picture. That is probably the biggest disappointment of all. I don't know if it's because it was already sitting out and it clearly needs refrigeration, or if it's because he set it in the bag on top of the hot food, or if it wasn't made right in the first place. Maybe it's all of those things combined. The biscuits were not hot, but the gravy was. The butter was very hard and could not be spread. The gravy was nowhere near as good as it used to be. We ate one biscuit each and tossed the rest out. The bacon was cold and burned. The peanut butter pie is probably going to get tossed too. I don't know. I might attempt it later. If I do I'll update the review, but you probably already know how that's going to go. I feel like I just wasted $25. read more

The food and service are fine: the bathroom cleanliness--and filthy septic smell--UGH!!!--is THE WORST!!! at this restaurant. I have to believe that it is fully unhealthy for all who go there. read more

Okay, I'm from out of town and wanted to try a bob evans. The food was AMAZING. honestly everything I tried was delicious, but above all our server was the best server I've ever had. I'm pretty sure her name was ally, but she was the absolute best. Happy I came and tried it. read more

GOT MOLD? Bought 4 loaves of banana bread on my way from Orlando to Atlanta. Gave 1 to my neighbor the next day. On the second day I realized that I couldn't gift the others as planned because they were covered in mold. Considering that they were kept in a/c at 70-73 degrees I think it's fair to say that I was sold very old food. The kicker, though, is that the manager Robert would only exchange them or provide a gift certificate! Since I live in Atlanta and there aren't any Bob Evans nearby how would this help? read more

Ordered Thanksgiving to-go 3 days earlier. Showed up at 12:40 and the place was a cluster! People had been waiting an hour plus for pick-up! I was there 25 minutes and contacted what appeared a manager. I had food at home so it wasn't a big deal. I just explained that they could refund or fill the order. Kitchen folks put it together in 4 minutes and I was out the door. I'm going to have to rethink this place. Food was great. read more

I went to Bob Evans on 2/7, there were 5 cars in the parking lot ( I counted). A family of four were waiting when I arrived. There were at least 15 open tables, maybe more. I was not greeted, instead a waitress walking by shouted out that " we have a wait". Less than a minute later, another lady came over, didn't greet me, but said " we have a wait, there is already 4 people ahead of you, do you want to wait? They dont want to serve you there and their demeanor is that they dont want you. I should of known with only 5 cars in lot when most every other restaurant was busy. They better get a better manager or this will be another business that " goes down on the farm". Sad to see such a once thriving chain run into the ground by lazy ungrateful people. read more

Excellent! We both had the meatloaf meal. I am a self proclaimed meatloaf pro. and that meatloaf was delicious! Our server Carnel was, as usual a delight. And the Lemon Supreme pie is outstanding! read more

I live in Georgia and whenever I can I eat at Bob Evans. I usually eat at the Lake city (exit 427) which is really good. The food wasn't bad at this location but the service was " horrible " I never got my drink refilled and I had to ask another server to get one. I was this young lady only customer ( at the counter) so I don't understand how you ignore your only customer. read more

Pulled into the parking lot with less than 10 cars. Not even half the tables were filled. When I put in our name, three parties were ahead of us. 45 minutes later, the party in front of us was seated. The hostess then began calling parties that arrived 15-20 minutes after us. When questioned about when we would be seated, she put our name at the end of the list (which had at least 5 more parties). I would love to give a review about their food, but the lack of organization, incompetence of the host, and slowness would have kept us there an additional 2 hours at the rate they were going. read more

Great people and good food. So grateful for a hard working team that was so pleasant to engage with.

The place was less than 25% full and waited over 50 minutes for free Veteran's Day food that never arrived. Food did not arrive and I had to leave. Poor service, I hope the food was better than the service. Will not eat there ever again and will let as many people as possible know how bad they were. There are way too many restaurants to have to put up with poor manager, poor service, poor attitude, poor etc. read more

Had breakfast here this morning with some coworkers after a long night shift Dianne was our server and she was just what we needed! She made us laugh and was just super friendly and it felt like we knew her! Definitely stop by and request her! You will have a great breakfast! Food also came out fast and coffee was hot and always filled! read more

This has the slowest service in town. The food is so-so at best. Not on my recommendation list. Unfortunately it is one of only a few breakfast places close to the interstate. read more

I wanted to try something different this time so I tried the Chicken Pot pie. It was not bad but I can't say I would order it again. It was also small for a pot pie and watery. My salad was not very good either. The lettuce was old and starting to brown on the edges. The server was nice a did a good enough job. I'm not sure who messed up but I was served the wrong salad dressing. My server obviously did not know what the dressing were supposed to look like on a salad or she would have figured it out. The restaurant was freezing inside. I don't think I will be back for a long while. I should have stuck with breakfast here or the turkey dinner. I can't find anything else they do right... read more

Never again. We've had slow service at the Hwy 40 store so today we tried the restaurant on 200. The worst ever! Got there at 10:45 am and waited 30 minutes for a table when easily 25% were empty. Waited and waited on our order while listening to constant excuses by the wait staff and then the manager. Finally at noon we left without any food. As we left the waiter said "it's coming soon." We've had enough...Bob Evans is off the list of dining possibilities for us! read more

Disappointed. Came in on Sunday Breakfast. Told we are short on servers. Went to order oh we don't have the banana nut bread that comes with the meal. But we can charge you for other type of French toast. Bad management. If you can't provide what you menu reads, why charge the customer for you shortfall. read more

Great value for the food. Very accommodating, I eat dinner for breakfast and they fix it every time. Salad at 7:30 in the morning is pretty impressive, and appreciated. Dad gets a regular breakfast and it is always fresh and fast read more

So happy to had the opportunity to eat at Bob Evans, it was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and our server Lauren was delightful. Food was hot and fresh, coffee was great, my only regrets is I don't live closer read more

Horrible service. We walked out. And no apology, just excuses that "yes we are short handed but we have as many employees as we are allowed". -COVID. What??? That's so wrong- you are not full at 50% capacity - no where close to that and your multiple waitresses are cleaning tables of dishes instead of seating new guests. Prioritization is lacking along with the ability to multi task and I think she was the Manager to whom was responding to our questioning of someone helping us-- with our desire to be seated after waiting over 10 minutes and being ignored by all of them. What a joke. I was bringing 2 new customers here - first timers and what a horrible first impression. There is no reason to ring up customers instead of seating new ones that were here first waiting to be seated way before these payers got up from their seats and got in line to be cashed out. Again bad Management or cashier/hostess... not paying attention to manage the proper flow of customers nor the staff on priorities. There were plenty of "clean" tables due to hardly having ANY customers. Regrettably, you list 2 new customers who won't be to any Bob Evans - they were very annoyed and they are both in the service industry and we all know how word spreads amongst them & their guests about bad service. They will stick with Cracker Barrel and Mom & Pops they said. I hated it and I was embarrassed- I have never been dissatisfied with any Bob Evans in over 30 plus years until now & this place wasn't even busy - just poorly managed. Shame on you Ocala Bob Evans- DO BETTER!! read more

I'm from Ohio. Not eating Bob Evans all my life. I love several of their entrees and they're very predictable. The service at this Bob Evans was horrible. 5 horrible I mean passive aggressive. Totally ignored until leaving. part of the meal not serve. And then I'm gushing apologies with offers of bread at scepter when we have been offered extra coffee, extra tea, everything we ordered m. Management needs to review this. Worst experience I've ever had at Bob Evans read more

The food is good here but what makes this Bob Evans exceptional is server Carnell! What a joyful genuine spirit. If Carnell worked at my Bob Evans I would have to go once a week just to see him! Joyful, efficient, attentive and one of the best smiles I've ever seen. What an asset to this place! read more

This review is strictly for service. Kim is the best wait person we have had at any Bob Evans! She was fast, efficient, everything was perfect.....just as ordered. She is friendly! She smiles! Thank you, Kim, for such a pleasant lunch experience!! read more

Ordered delivery via Postmates. Did not include any condiments including syrup and butter for my French toast, wasted food and money. When I called they advise I call Postmates, whom they said would send the driver back out, but Postmates doesn't even have a phone number, therefore, there is no such policy. The person I spoke with did not even apologize for the mishap, that is what made me the most upset about this whole situation. Gave two stars because the soup was still warm and good. read more

Tried this place the other day on a recommendation and I really liked it. Had some scrambled eggs, sausage links, grits, and biscuits for $8.99 it was scrumptious. And our server, Katrina, was super friendly and had great customer service. I'll be back. read more

Bob Evans - This is the Senior portion. Unbelievable how much food for $ 6.95 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

NOT RECOMMENDED!!! Horrible experience!!!! Not only very very slow service on a slow Sunday evening, but a completely screwed up order. I ordered a salad on the menu. After a long wait a salad was brought to the table. It was not the salad ordered. When we stated it was not the one ordered we were informed they did not have the actual one. No warning of a substitution; no asking if I wanted something else, nothing. Again, it was a slow evening so it's not like things were confusing and hectic. A simple courtesy would have been nice. NOT coming back here again. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Please do yourself a favor and do not order take-out or curbside from here. We decided not to cook for Thanksgiving this year as my son was on leave from the Army and we wanted to spend all our time with him instead of cooking. We ordered and paid in advance for 4 turkey meals with the fixings and dessert. When Thanksgiving came - we called from the car for our curbside delivery, phone rang and went into the advertisement loop 6 times before we went inside to pick up. Although we arrived 5 minutes early our food was not ready until 20 minutes after our scheduled time. Then the news came, "we ran out of food". So when we arrived home we found, not even close - to compensate we were given 18 rolls, 2 pumpkin breads, 1 turkey meal, two ham meals and an apple pie that was stood up in the bag - which was destroyed and leaked all over everything. What kind of management is this, you took my order and my money but gave me what was laying around. You didn't hold food for the paid customer? I thought Bob Evans was a reputable place, I was wrong. read more

This only the 2nd Bob Evan's I have ever ate T and the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The service is alway friendly. I would like them to out one in East Fort Lauderdale, FL They will always be our first choice when we are in North FL. Enjoy Everybody. read more

I regret to say that my wife and I had the worst meal we've had since we moved to Ocala 3 years ago. It was a pretty simple meal to make- breakfast at 4:00 p.m. with about 15 people in the restaurant. It took much longer than it should have to get our food which should have been my 1st red flag. I asked for soft bacon, it was crispy. I asked for my eggs over medium and they were one over easy and one over well and they were the smallest eggs I have seen on a plate ever. My wife ordered a bacon omelet that was flatter than a pancake and was made with bacon bits- yuk. We asked to see the manager to voice our concerns and as we were waiting for him my wife noticed a hair on my hash browns. It was not mine. There is a new manager there who was very cordial and understanding and we told him we would come back after he had a chance to right the ship. Honestly though I'm not sure I can go back in there after this experience. read more

A nice place to get a good breakfast. The people working here are the best! The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the place is attractive and clean for a chain type of restaurant. read more

Yes, it's another Bob Evans Family chain Restaurant. What can i say, well fast service with good prices. You can eat a decent meal for $10 with refills on coffee without extra charge but you can also buy a bag coffee to take home you choose- If your hungry and in a hurry then stop in Bob Evans to feast and meet all the local retirees in Ocala area who just got out of church service or headed to play 18 holes..lol read more

Such a favorite for us. We go for breakfast most of the time. Their breakfasts are fast and good and we always have a second round of coffee so we can chat. Tonight we are going again-think I will have the fish and chips! Cheryl is our favorite waitress so we try to get her when we go. She makes sure we get the best service and matches our dry sense of humor. read more
