When I lived in this town, this was my favorite ice cream place twice in the last three months…read more I've been by this place and although lemon custard is listed on their board, I ordered it paid for the two scoops and 3 pints of ice cream and after they've taken my money and given me the pints, they informed me that they had none that they could scoop into cones. Extremely disappointed then because I had paid for two medium cones, which would've been $6.50. I told her I would just take an additional pint, which was six dollars each in which the young lady come back to the window telling me I then owed her more money. Math is pretty simple. 650 exchange is almost even up with tax for a six dollar pint of ice cream. Zero rating for customer service and supply of what you have listed on your board. Guys it's a small town and meeting. Customers expectation is important. If I've experienced that two different times in three months in both visits, what do the people who visit this place regularly experience. Very disappointing.

We all had some delicious ice cream, mother and I both had chocolate and my brother vanilla and we all decided to try them again soon as they also sold food. A few weeks later we came back and had some milkshakes and ordered burgers and/or hot dogs. Food was delicious... the shakes were to die for. I had their hot caramel shake... just thinking about it now makes me crave it. Place sells plenty of ice cream related products cones, shakes, malts, sundaes etc and you can even take pints of ice cream home. They also sell plenty of savory food options including chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, nachos and pretzel bites. Definitely coming back next summer!

The flavors meld together so well. It had a little spice to it, but nothing that lingered on your tongue in an annoying way. I had a seasonal latte and it was like Autumn in a cup. Baby had a mango smoothie and a breakfast sandwich. The smoothie was delicious! Sandwich was cooked perfectly and toasted up in a handheld package. The cafe itself was cute and clean. Decorated for Spooky Season, as I visited here in the Fall. Can't wait to visit Van Wert again to stop into Brewed Expressions. And kudos to the staff! They were professional, helpful, and well coordinated in their service-- communicating kindly to me and to each other and pitching in to help for efficiency.

She ordered the French Soda and the breakfast sandwich and I did a custom iced latte (white chocolate and pistachio with almond milk) and the smoked Gouda grilled cheese. Everything was very good and perfectly made. They did run out of eggs that morning so my friend's breakfast sandwich was just a bagel, cheese, and bacon. They didn't have any sauces to add to it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. They clearly know the regular customers and they stayed busy. My friend and I aren't familiar with Van Wert and the staff was happy to recommend local businesses for us to visit while he hung out.

I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

I am new to the area and I am still trying find places to hang out and eat. I came here a while…read moreback with my family. We wanted to eat at a sit down restaurant and it's located relatively close to where I work. I have never eaten at a Bob Evans before but it reminds me a lot of a Denny's or an IHOP. It was cold the night we came... think it was maybe 20 without taking into account the wind chill. We sat down and started looking at the menu... huge menu and it would be huge even taking into account they serve breakfast and dinner. I am always afraid of restaurants that have too many choices on their menu... simply it's easier to be an expert when you have a smaller menu. I noticed they served soups and chili. It was a cold night so my mother ordered chicken soup and and I ordered chili. My brother, the contrarian, got a Caesar salad. The chili wasn't bad, but it was rather watery and not as flavorful as I prefer. I like my chili to be thick, hot and spicy. My brother did like the salad. We all ordered some home style fried chicken tenders, with corn, fries and honey mustard. My brother got baked potato, though. The chicken was rather good, the sides were pretty standard. For dessert, my mother got the double-crust apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My brother and I got both some chocolate sundaes. The sundae was my favorite part of the meal. I know it's crazy that I ordered ice cream on such a cold night, but I guess I am starting to get used to the cold. Anyway, it wasn't a bad experience. I probably will be back eventually. I haven't tried their breakfast and wonder if it's better:

First of all we waited and waited for a server to come. Our server waited on other tables before waiting on us. Once we placed our orders ( i ordered two eggs, toast and bacon and my brother ordered pancakes with banana pudding etc.) A pretty simple and quick order. Forty some minutes later, we still did not have our food, let a lone a glass of milk for my brother. Finally our server came to our table and told us that our food had not even been started. He had no idea as to where my slip for my order was and that my brother's order was not yet started. My brother has Parkinson's, and it is important to keep his food routine on a timely schedule. We were told that we could leave, no charge for us as we did not get out food. We left without getting any food or bring compensated for our time and long wait. I am really upset that we were treated so badly. I gave my server my name and phone number, expecting a written apology along with a coupon for another dinner. As of 24 hours later, not a response from Bob Evans. This is extremely sad. I had expected move from you.
