Did I order a kids meal by mistake?
Jeff T.

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.

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!

Soon as you walk in through the revolving door, you are greeted with a wood fire grill aroma that makes your sense of smell scream omg what is that and I'll take 2 please. There was no wait time, we were instantly seated at a small both for two. And yes the seats are comfortable. I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

It was cooked almost perfectly. I added a lobster tail, and got a side of mac and cheese. The side was superb. My friend and I started with the Wild West Shrimp appetizer, and it was prepared in the same way as a calamari app might be prepared at an Italian restaurant: breaded with peppers. It was a fine appetizer (I was expecting to be dazzled, and I was not). The service was fine. Our server seemed young and inexperienced, and not incredibly knowledgeable about the menu items. I'm sure she'll get better with time. If you're looking for a solid steakhouse, you could do worse than Longhorn's.

I wrote a review from Fathers day already. Its my grandsons 12th birthday and guess where he wants to go? I agreed, because they get to choose. I told them waitress that last time was horrible, she understood and took on the challenge. All was well until dinners came in. Only my wife had a salad before her entree. When the entrees came to the table, by another server, my wife had no meal and mine was missing a loaded potato. The kids also had no ranch, which is a federal crime to them. We asked 2 others and our server, never received. When our server came out to see how dinner was going, I told her we are missing 1 entrees and my side of potato. She quickly went to kitchen and came back with the potatoes and then apologized for not keying in my wife's dinner. By the time she received her meal, most of us were done. The manager 1st came to apologize and said that she will comp us a dessert, but still no entrees yet. It took another 20 minutes from our entrees, before she received hers. The manager came back and said the entrees is on her. The food is always good, but for 6 people, over $200, I would like to eat together and have great service. When they brought out a free dessert for the birthday boy, they never asked what he likes, of course it was not what he wanted. He blew out the candle and then I ordered the dessert he did want for his birthday. Yes, you guessed it, I paid for that and the free dessert the manager mentioned, must have been recalled because entrees was free, which was the higher price, but she should have given her the dessert to make up to HER, for delayed food, since I paid for the meal only I benefited. Its saddening that this will be off our list here in Woodbridge. There are many others to choose from, even with 4 or 5 going out of business lately. In closing, the food is good, but service is terrible and since managers were involved, it seems like a culture problem of quality employees.

Next month will mark one year since I discovered Down Home Comfort Cafe in Woodbridge, Virginia,…read moreand I can honestly say that finding this place has been one of the best things to happen to me. I was in town when I first stopped by, and what started as a visit turned into spending the entire day with the staff. From that very first day, I felt something special. These wonderful people are no longer just restaurant staff to me -- they are family. Now, every month when I fly into town, I make it a priority to spend the entire day with my Down Home Comfort Cafe family. I love the atmosphere, the food, the conversations, and most of all, the people. I even enjoy talking with the customers and recommending different entrées. It feels like I'm coming home every time I walk through those doors. And let me tell you -- the soul food is absolutely incredible! The food is made with love, and you can taste that love in every bite. If you're looking for delicious, authentic soul food and an atmosphere where you're treated like family, look no further. In my opinion, the best soul food cafe is right here in Woodbridge, Virginia -- Down Home Comfort Cafe!

I love bread pudding, but this one just wasn't my favorite. It wasn't bad it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. The café itself is small, cozy, and welcoming. They have a small bar area, indoor seating, and a customer restroom that's tucked away in the back. When I stopped in, there were several people dining in, and it had a relaxed, homey atmosphere. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Down Home Cafe, especially if you're looking for a comforting brunch or a laid-back Sunday meal. I'll definitely be back for those chicken and waffles! Oh! Open parking!
