Great food Outstanding service and great atmosphere Had a very nice experience at Bob Evans. Everything was good! The food was fresh, hot, and served quickly. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. It's always nice to enjoy a good meal in a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back again and recommend this location to others. read more

Service was great. Restaurant was clean. Food was fair, a little salty on ham and not a lot of flavor on potatoes (salt helped them). Egg were good. The pancakes were different, they reminded me of something but can't think of what. Food was delivered quickly and hot. Rounded up in score, would give 3.5 if could. read more

Bob Evans - Farmer's Choice Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I grew up eating at Bob Evan's. Over the years the closest one to me that I always went to closed. I have not been in years. I had heard the quality had gone down since the Evan's family sold the business and I can confirm.. This is not the Bob Evan's I remember. Walking in, there is no obvious host stand, I stand by the checkout looking around and finally someone asks me if I want to eat in and i say yes. Walking into this Bob Evan's, which was my first time, I liked the design and decor, Bob Evan's use to have a counter you could sit at and eat, and this one does not have one. Not sure if they got rid of that in all restaurants but it gave Bob Evan's some old time charm... The menu is totally different, and took a while for me to take in, to see what they offered, if they still had my favorites, which I was happy to see they did. My server, Robin was sort of nice but sort of pushy. Kept asking me if I was ready when I said I was still looking like 3 times in under 5 minutes. Sure on one hand that's nice, but I wanted to sit there, take it in and relax. I dropped my daughter off at school and wanted to take my time and enjoy my first visit to Bob Evan's in years. I ordered hotcakes and bacon and asked for biscuits. Biscuits here were ALWAYS amazing. I can't remember one time I had a really bad biscuit here. They were always thick and fluffy and oh so good. The pancakes I always remembered them as big pancakes. They were fluffy pancakes, and took up the entire plate. And what's what they show you on the menu. Bacon always tasted fresh cooked. I got my pancakes and bacon. And no biscuits. Which I reminded them I asked for biscuits and they got them for me. No problem, mistakes happen. But again the Bob Evan's of the old, biscuits were the first thing you got, not an afterthought. I looked at these, umm biscuits and wondered if they had a sponsorship with the NHL. These looked like they could be certified as hockey pucks. Stabbing my fork in them to split them, there was no fluffiness to them. I put butter on them and besides looking like hockey pucks, I could tell they had been sitting under a hot lamp for what seems like hours... I could not eat both of them, they were so dry and chewy and had no redeeming quality to them. Next bacon... yummm.. well... Not so much. The bacon was not under any sort of hot lamp or container to help keep it warm, the three slices of bacon, where meaty and had decent flavor but again they were cooked hours ago. I came at 11am, which yes is close to lunch time but come one. I mean come on.. This is a SIT DOWN RESTAURANT. People come to sit down restaurants expecting FRESH COOKED food. Not stuff that is cooked hours in advance for speed and cutting corners to save money. Last. Pancakes... Looking forward to a plate full of pancakes and what I got, when I first saw them, i thought I ordered a kids meal by mistake. They were small and thin. They had an ok taste, but not as I remembered and were chewy like the batter was over mixed. Cashing out, the guy who rung me out, first not once was I asked how was my food which kinda surprised be, but with the garbage they served me, I can understand why. But i will say he was very nice, talked to me, made me feel welcome and we had a few laughs and he did. Thank me for coming in. This is a perfect example of of someone of a family business's being acquired by another company and make changes that ruin something that use to be good. Attached are photos of my NHL hockey pucks and pictures of the pancakes I got as well as a reference photo from Bob Evan's website showing what they expect you to be getting. read more

"If you visit the Bob Evans in Woodbridge, VA, make sure to look for Danielle at the front! She provided absolutely outstanding service and genuinely went above and beyond her job description to ensure I had a pleasant meal. It is rare to find that kind of care and attention to detail these days. Thank you, Danielle!" Happy Customer! Gualano read more

I just love their breakfast selections. Period. I've never had a meal I didn't enjoy. My wife and I dined there recently and everything was delicious. I especially loved their sausage gravy and biscuits. I ordered a meal where this was included and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. We dined there for much less than the same meal at Cracker Barrel so if you can do without the ambience that Cracker Barrel offers, it's a great breakfast stop. read more

Update. Everything was hot and good. Service was excellent. Location clean. You must keep this location busy to keep them in business.

Stopped by this morning after our doctors appointments. Wasn't busy but short staffed. Our server was Ginny, who we had before and truly adore. She is the reason for the stars. The food was different today. I think the kitchen was struggling because my usual meal was not the same. Will we return? Of course! Did we complain? No! There are off days in any occupation, could have been a new cook....we didn't ask! This review is for Ginny! Ask for her if you want GREAT SERVICE! read more

Not a lot of places open when I'm out, so I come here some. I look around at all the customers. I am always one of a very small percentage of white folks, if any. And I always wonder... WHO IS THIS COUNTRY MUSIC FOR? Yuck. Food bland, service typically bad. read more

Nasty food steak tips, chicken , mash potatoes, the gravy, the biscuit, the green beans all nasty . Would have been better off at McDonald's getting chicken nuggets read more

We came to eat at Bob Evans's on 9/28/24. The service was atrocious and there wasn't a clear reason why. The restaurant wasn't packed, there didn't appear to be a server shortage, and no wait at the door. After our server took our drink order, she left and came back 5 minutes later asking for our food order- no drinks. She left for another 5 minutes before coming back with 2 waters and a kids apple juice. I typically order scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes to which my server tried to say they can't do that but they could "load" my eggs. I'm not even sure what that means, but she eventually took my order as I asked for it and walked away. The wait for the food was well over 40 minutes. When it DID finally come out, items were missing and they put a side bowl on top of my eggs. We didn't see our server again for another 5-10 minutes. I told her what was missing and she came back with part (just the missing French toast). The biggest thing was part of my child's meal was missing. She said she was putting it in and it "wouldn't take long ". It took her ANOTHER 20 minutes to come back just to re-ask if anything was missing. I had no syrup and he was STILL missing eggs. I watched her just to see if maybe she had a larger section than I realized, but no. She would check on her other tables and skip us entirely. All of this would have been conveyed to a manager, but they weren't anywhere to be found. At all other restaurants I've worked at or been a patron at the manager roams the floor to check on tables. We probably won't be coming back to this Bob Evans for quite a while. read more

So glad I stopped here on 5/5/21 because it was something I've been wanting for so long! A good pancake breakfast! Came here right when they opened at 7am right after work. I already knew I wanted pancakes and so I got there new meal that comes with fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce, whipped cream and the usual suspects has browns, turkey sausage (I don't eat the swine) and scrambled with with cheese. Only had some water to drink because I had already stopped at Wawa for some coffee...lol. Breakfast was so good but I had gotten full after a few bites and took the rest home to eat later. So glad I stopped by and gave them another try. It's been a few years since I had but it won't be my last for sure! read more

This place is super underrated. My family had a great time and loved the food. Prices were even good. Don't get how this place isn't rated higher, but wanted to do my part to give them the credit they deserve. Thank you! read more

The past couple of times we've been there the service is very slow and inattentive. It's also been hit or miss on getting your menu items as you ordered them. read more

Bob Evans, Woodbridge, VA breakfast is not what it used to be. I was served a breakfast this morning, where the hash browns were only semi warm, and the sausage patties were hard and almost unchewable. After I tried a couple of fork full of this food, I simply got up, paid my ticket, and I left. I was starving, but so disappointed that this place would serve a meal like the one I experienced today. read more

Okay it's a shame that there isn't a Bob Evans in San Diego because this was such a nice breakfast. It was the last day our whole family would be in VA so we had Bob Evans before my in-law's drive back down to Florida. They had come the day before so they knew that we would be having good food and even better service. I ordered the Original Farmers Choice and the cinna biscuits, can I just say that those cinna biscuits are lethal, so tasty they don't really even need the cream cheese frosting. My breakfast was exactly what was needed to start our day, we were going to make an effort to see the sites in DC, btw didn't happen and we ended up going to Philly instead. Definitely come here if you want some good food with friendly atmosphere. read more

Don't hold your breath.. Worse service ever! Ambience dirty rundown. Food? We have been waiting for close to an hour.. They are out of everything.. including ice so it would seem..... Tea is lukewarm.. After food arrived it was cold .. & questionable.. No butter for biscuits.! Looked like a lot of people doing nothing.. Horrible service & our waitress that came by occasionally with others orders; claimed she was checking on our order.. when the food arrived, it was cold we did not complain. We were so hungry I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.. Maybe on a different day ? read more

I must have gotten here on a good day because my food was delish, fresh, and hot. I got the banana berry pancakes. They were soft and flavorful. My one gripe is that the berries were in the middle of the pancake, but still tasty.. (ok one more, they were stingy with the bananas too) (ok one more, the coffee was weak) BUT the bacon was crispy. Everything was tasty. Definitely coming back. read more

Arrived a little after 8 AM, one waitress on the floor. Tables started drizzling in, for some reason I noticed that we were being treated differently. I.E. both tables sat after us received their food almost immediately after being seated, the gentleman that ordered coffee behind us was given their own carafe; I ordered coffee I was not given a carafe. I also had to ask for water, maybe it's a Texan thing to receive water with coffee. The coffee was nasty. I tried to ask what brand of coffee it was so that I make sure I never ever buy it at a store. The water had something floating in it. The waitress came by and advised the food was coming out. A few minutes later someone else brought the food to us. The food was lukewarm, from the sausage, to the eggs, to the "home fries" to the blueberry banana pancakes. The potatoes weren't seasoned at all and tasted straight like the oil used to cook them. My boyfriend ordered oatmeal and pancakes the oatmeal was bland and unseasoned and the pancakes were lukewarm as well. I want to mention something that I may have interpreted incorrectly based off of my experience but thought worth mentioning in case it's a pattern... My boyfriend is black. Upon sitting at a table the gentlemen that were sitting there got up and moved. I thought well maybe they moved for privacy but when they sat next to another couple I figured it might be racially motivated, which coupled to the aforementioned issues... and the fact that every person that came in after us that was black got sat next to us while others were seated farther away. I won't be coming back to this Bob Evan's again and probably never going to another Bob Evan's either. read more

Waited an hour for food then walked out! Everyone ahead oh us had eaten and left. Went to Padrinos on Dale Blvd.

I ordered my meal on Sunday 8/18/24 and after 40 minutes I asked where my food was. I was told they gave my food to someone else. Hard to believe someone ordered the same two menu items the same way I customized it. I waited another 10 minutes and still didn't receive my food. I had another appointment and had to leave. No sense of urgency or attention to detail by the staff. Restaurant wasn't that busy. very disappointed with over all experience. As I left two customers behind me were leaving without getting their food. Staff seemed to not care that I was leaving. I cannot rate this visit a zero so I gave it a one star but it was a zero star. read more

The servers were also sweat the food was the pretty good. I enjoy taking a breakfast with the family in this place thanks all servers.

I'd like to give 5 stars for service. The ambiance is 5 stars - but the food lacks. There's cement-like grizzle in (ham/bacon) meats for which there is an upcharge. Fries and hash burned. Soups and coffee watery. If you want to beat competition, use high quality ingredients! Rebel review: 3 read more

This establishment needs to closed for good... Upon entering, we were greeted by a guy that just didn't seem happy to be there or see us as customers... Even though the restaurant had only a few customers, we waited for about 10 minutes; then had flag down the busboy to go find our server... He took our drink order... She finally showed up with our drinks; then took our order... That was the last we saw of her... 30 minutes later since there was NO ORDER in sight... WE WALKED OUT... NEVER TO RETURN... WE ARE THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH AND DISAPPOINTED WITH BOB EVANS RESTAURANTS... read more

We had breakfast Sunday morning at Bob Evans on Smoketown Road in Woodbridge. It was nearly noon and we were happy to see that there was only a 5 minute wait. I know a review of Bob Evans is not ground breaking, but sometimes different locations of the same chain give different dining experiences. Such was not the case here. The reason we go to Bob Evans is consistency, in food and service. We started with coffee, as one might expect. My wife had hotcakes with Bacon, her usual order. There was 4 large hotcakes, and a good sized side of bacon. The bacon was cooked medium, and though we both prefer our bacon cooked within an inch of it's life, she enjoyed it. I had the Big Egg Breakfast, which is 3 eggs, meat and home fries. Instead of meat I got grits. It was a nice portion, and a hearty filling breakfast. The only thing I might say is that the coffee refill took a while. All in all, Bob Evans is always good, filling comfort food. We've been there many times, and will be back again. read more

Whenever we travel out of NY we look for a Bob Evans Restaurant to dine at. We usually get the Crispy Chicken Strips, all white meat served with their Honey Mustard Sauce. You can get BBQ Sauce but I highly suggest you get the Honey Mustard. We always buy their Honey Mustard, usually 5 or 6 jars to last us until we return. We have found it is the best we ever had. Last time I went I ordered the Crispy Chicken Strips with Biscuits, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy and their Summer Herb Corn (Sweet corn with diced fresh red and green peppers finished with a citrus garden herb sauce). The best corn I ever had. The décor is always the same with a county feel to it, services is usually good and everyone is polite and very accommodating. Just what you would expect in a country setting. Next time you are traveling south look for a Bob Evans, you will be pleased. read more

...and trending to one star. I used to love this place. The last 3-5 times the waitresses were great but food prep/delivery is taking toooo long. One past time in summertime the doors were locked; only manager had a key and the 15 year waitress and others waiting for mgr. Good food, but pack a lunch. Corporations buy good brands then run them into the dirt. A shame. read more

Heading home decided to stop and grab a little breakfast. Well the worst sever ever. We saw the waitress 2 times, to take our order and to bring the food.

Perhaps they were having a bad day? Maybe, but here are my observations. There were maybe five groups of people at the restaurant and three of them had to talk to the manager about issues with food. We didn't initially talk to the manager, but after waiting almost 40 minutes for biscuits, we did. We asked for biscuits at least three times and we were told they were "in the oven." A take out order was also waiting for biscuits as we were checking out. See a trend here? The food was OK, but I don't believe we'll be returning here again. read more

This particular Bob Evans location at 14490 Smoketown Rd, Woodbridge, Virginia has been our saving grace twice now on a weekend when everything else is packed, long wait, or closed without notice. The three-course special they're currently running is great for a small family.  An App (Salad or Soup), a main course, Dessert, and endless rolls, biscuits or banana bread. Our particular server this night was excellent too.  Tikka was really on point, great with our order, helped us through a couple menu questions, and checked in as regularly as she could.  I say that because she was clearly assigned tables more so than the other servers.  At one point Tikka was servicing half the restaurant while other servers were refreshing Sugars and Ketchup bottles off to the side.  Not quite sure what managerial sense this made, but Tikka worked her hardest to overcome the obstacle and still made an impression on us.  From what I saw she could very well be the Restaurant Manager as she was running the whole place while we were there. Again, Bob Evans at 14490 Smoketown Rd, Woodbridge has pulled through for us on a number of occasions, and this one was no different.  They're a great go-to when other places can't meet our needs at the moment.  Good food, good quality, affordable prices, and good service. read more

It was good to go back to Bob Evans this morning for the first time since the pandemic. My food was great. My problem was with the substandard precautions taken. First, the restaurant was quite empty, but they still chose to seat people in four adjacent booths. Second, the tables were just wiped with a cloth as always (no spray or disinfectant in sight.) Third, waiter not wearing gloves. Fourth, menus same laminate, not disposable Fifth, condiments had been removed from table, so I was surprised to be brought the full-size containers...and more surprised when a server took the ones that I had touched and handed them to the table next to me. They had made some good changes (like increasing the height of the dividers between booths) but the above issues will keep me from returning any time soon. read more

We used to come here every weekend but had to cease for a few years to decrease our waistlines. Came back today for lunch and our server Wallace was absolutely gracious and pleasant! He's the epitome of a kind Southern gentleman and made our experience incredibly delightful. Wow factor achieved! I highly recommend you seek out Wallace's table for the experience. read more

(Insert quote about wishing I could take away stars) Second visit in two days although we only ate here once. Yesterday the food was decent even though the server had issues getting the order right. We were seated promptly and service was equally prompt. Today was a completely different story. After an hour and 15 minutes waiting in the lobby, our group of 9 spoke with the manager and left for a different restaurant. Yes it's a large group but we were willing to split. No less than 40 people were seated in groups of 2,3,4 or 5. The two running the host station were clearly not trained beyond the basic take a name and hand out menus. They need training and managers. So now we are eating chips and drinking margaritas instead of pancakes and coffee. Not really what I wanted for Sunday morning breakfast. read more

Order online from the restaurant. The order was gonna be delivered by Doordash. With all that being said I received only half my order and when I called the restaurant they accepted that is was their fault. Then they proceed to tell me I will get a refund for the missing part of my order in 5 business day. Thanks but no thanks! I'm waiting on my refund and then they don't have to worry about me again. Back to Cracker Barrel I go. read more

Lunch rush review: Poorly managed, grossly understaffed, and no sense of urgency, we gave up after 30 minutes of waiting. There were 10 unbussed tables, and no one seated in the wait time. People wanted to see the manager who was clearly hiding in the back room. There was one girl working hard but she can't do everything. The lobby was a wreck and the front doors look like a bus of slime covered children ran their hands and bodies up against ever inch of glass. Gross... My advice is to go to the Silver Diner across the street, where your business is valued. read more
