Recent visit. Super glad to see it busy. I get worried about some places these days and staying open. I've been coming here for ages when I visit Peoria and really love it. Dave is a mainstay employee and highly recommend getting one of his tables. My food was really good. Did something a little different with the oatmeal and side of banana nut bread. Very good! It was $8.99. Not too bad of a price. Did take a long time to have someone seat us, etc., but overall good experience. read more

See all

Very good food even though not a lot of people there. Gave us a discount because was waiting so long for our meals. we tried your new dill breaded pickles. I had chicken tenders for my meal. read more

I love the pot roast there! It was an amazing experience and id go again! The staff was friendly, the restaurant was cute and clean and the food was delicious! read more

Food was okay...not great. The service was pretty good. All in all, it's not bad but we won't likely return.

We made it ! Got in at Bob Evans for Mother's Day Breakfast! Had a 30 minute wait. Better than other places for a last minute walk in. Our waiter was absolutely great. Not one complaint from our whole group! read more

Bob Evans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

I made the mistake of giving Bob Evans a 2nd chance. I ordered the thanksgiving platter and got half a slice of Turkey and one tablespoon of potatoes and stuffing. NEVER AGAIN read more

Waitress brought our biscuits 10 minutes before the actual meal came. Walked past us several times without asking if every thing was OK. Never asked if we would like a refill on our coffee. Did not offer to take our ticket to the register. Just ruined the entire breakfast. There are two Bob Evans in you area & we will give the one in East Peoria our business from now on.​​ read more

Bad food. Every. Single. Time. I work right by one with not much else around so I keep trying but today I was severely disappointed again and with a staff that does not care and will do nothing about their badly made food, it is a winder they are still open. The bread is good, anything else is overpriced garbage read more

Absolutely disgusting food and coffee! The biscuits and gravy looked like canned dog food mixed into a weird brown gravy took one bite and then left. read more

This is actually a fantastic Bob Evans, they do a great breakfast and the quality is always consistent. I have to say the best thing about this resteraunt is their staff. Very friendly and quick. Big shout out to Star! She is so great and a happy face to see! Great work to this team! read more

Poor service when checking out. Slow but waitress was arguing who to take care of the register, so I waited. Then wanting to leave a 15% tip rather than the 20%. Waitress lied and said it was 15%.. dishonesty and laziness abound at this location. read more

Walked in to a dead restaurant on a Wednesday at 6:00. Was told it would be a 10 minute wait. Not a problem. After 20 minutes we were rudely told it would be another 10 minutes because they were short staffed. We still waited, after 45 minutes another woman came out told us again it would be a 10 minute wait. I said if you would have told us it would have been a 45 minute to an hour wait we would not have stayed. The manager basically said that's too bad, we're understaffed and walked away to the kitchen ignoring us. Rude service and poor communication read more

Absolutely terrible. The coffee here isn't even good. I've been givin a dirty cup with lukewarm coffee more than once what is so hard about serving hot coffee ? Last time was the final draw I ordered the ever popular sunshine skillet I was served the scrambled eggs and half cooked potato on top and the gravy was so thin I used a spoon to taste it Then I noticed there was no sausage in it Where is the sausage? I call over my waiter and tell him and he says oh I'll get you some more sausage Hello there is NO sausage it clearly is supposed to contain sausage so he brings me one ounce of cooked sausage In a bowl I look at it.... look at the eggs and the soupy gravy then I see something orange floating and I fish it out and it's a plastic bread tie off a bread bag in my meal OK I'm done We leave never to return read more

I went here yesterday for my friend's birthday dinner and I had a fairly large party of high school students with us. We were noisy and irritating, I felt so bad for the few tables around us. But, Brittany, our waitress, was absolutely wonderful. She dealt with our noise professionally and even joked around with us as well. Food was quick and everyone enjoyed their meals (10/10 would recommend the Mac n' Cheese) and I personally can't wait to come back! read more

I have to say this place has one of the nicest, most welcoming staffs I have ever encountered. I mean ANYWHERE. I'm telling you, they employ the kindest, most genuine people. At the end, we all donated to their charity (I think they are providing Christmas dinners to local families in need) and the cashier was so gracious and said we'd all be receiving a blessing for our generosity - I mean, wow! So lovely. Food was better than I expected. Eggs cooked nicely, red skin potatoes made up the home fries, decent biscuits (which they served with packaged margarine instead of butter - bummer), crispy, thick bacon... definitely superior to most chain breakfasts (I'm looking at you, Denny's....) It's solid, well-made food for a chain, but the service puts it over the top. I love those people! read more

I completely agree with previous reviews. I was expecting subpar food and a diner experience. Service was OUTSTANDING!! Friendliest staff and didn't have to ask for anything. Food was great and very affordable. read more

We are from California visiting some family member in Peoria. We were craving for some classic breakfast and heard about this place. It's nothing really special but definitely satisfied our breakfast craving of eggs, hashed potatoes, bacon and pancake! I wished bacon was a bit more crispy but wasn't too bad. Only thing I took one star off was their coffee..... :( it was not horrible but wasn't that great either. Other than that I will def will come back for breakfast if I come back to Peoria again :) read more

I ordered a catered breakfast for 20 people online. When I picked it up, it was all ready for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was hot and very tasty. This was a great way to feed our large group. read more

I had no idea that previous reviews would be nearly identical to mine. BUt here goes: Ryan, our server, was marvelous. He had an ever-present smile, was always doing something for the good of his customers and the good of the restaurant, and went above and beyond in caring for us. The food: Incredible for a Bob Evans. It was very tasty, served piping hot and generous in portion size. My wife said the salad was great. My chicken fried steak was spicy, but not terribly so. The garlic bread was crispy and very good. What I liked best was when Ryan brought our iced tea, the lemon was in a separate dish to use if we wanted. Why doesn't EVERY restaurant do that? Bob Evans on Allen road, you are fantastic. read more

It was awesome to see a restaurant from home out here. Love Bob Evan's. Try the sausage gravy, its heaven

We needed carryout breakfast for 10 people. Being from San Diego, we chose Bob Evans with modest expectations. However, this is the most cheeful, helpful staff we have encountered!! From Denai taking our order over the phone and working hard to get it right. To the star of the show, Starr, who made sure everything was in order, all condiments, serving spoons, plates, etc. Starr and staff were so friendly and engaging that after the 10 minutes it took to get our order packed, my wife and I were compelled to hug her - just like old friends. Needless to say, we will always use this Bob Evans when back home in Peoria and probably go out of our way to do more carryout breakfasts. What a great experience. Thank you to Starr and the entire Allen Road Bob Evans team!!! read more

OK, I have to admit that I went in with low expectations, but this was one of the best moderately priced meals I've had in town in a long time. We arrived after 8:30pm and even though they close at 9:00, we were seated happily. Our waitress was prompt and made us feel welcome. The food was fairly basic but well prepared, served hot, and yummy. We were served margarine with our breads and asked for real butter instead, which was available on request. My husband discovered we had come on the buy one get one coupon night, so our dinner was 1/2 price. I was very happy with the visit. read more

Wonderful experience!! The food was delicious but what stood out was our server, Christian. He was so friendly and did an amazing job. He is absolutely fantastic. We'll be back for sure. read more

I have always enjoyed Bob Evans at this location. This time, I went with my wife and three grandchildren. The food was good, just not equal to the standards they previously set. One example, the children previously received a freshly baked cookie as a dessert. This time, they took an old overbaked cookie and microwaved it. read more

Every time we come here we get the new server that just can't seem to get it right. 5 trips to the table to get our family's meal to them is 3 to many managers seem to stand in th e back and just watch from a far read more
