    Chicken Breast Dinner at Bob Evans Adrian
    Mark K.

    The grade card: Location and Parking - A- Facility and Ambiance - C+ Service - A (earlier in the day), C- (later in the day) Quality of Food - A (breakfast fare), C+ (fare other than breakfast), C- (coffee) Originality and Appeal - C Prices - C Value (quality ÷ cost) - B+ (breakfast), C- (other than breakfast) The Review: I'm not much on traditional Midwestern American food but there are a few things I do like about it. I had Midwest meat-and-potatoes cooking every day for the first 18 years of my life, so I've had, and exceeded, my quota. But many are comfortable in that food space. Bob Evans pulls off this style about as well as any restaurant can. But it's basically like having a decent house in a bad neighborhood...the appeal is limited. And the Adrian location actually epitomizes both my favorite and least favorite aspects of this chain. This restaurant is conveniently located near the intersection of US 223 and MI 52 (S. Main St.) in the major commercial area for Adrian. It is easy to find and the parking is relatively abundant. It can get crowded at times as it has evolved into largely catering to an older demographic, toward which Adrian's population is skewed. If you're eating alone and/or if you're in a hurry, one tip is that there is a counter available where you can usually find a seat. My favorite meal at BE is unquestionably breakfast. They have several great options, so much so that I often order breakfast food when we go there for dinner. The most recent thing I tried was the Goat Cheese Veggie Omelet. Accompanied by toast and home fries, the portion was right - sized and it turned out to be quite satisfying. I will note, however, that I make a distinction between feta and goat cheese. I realize that putting items like these on an omelet is flirting with culinary ethnicity, and that is not BE's specialty. But it appeared that it was feta cheese that topped what I received, even though goat cheese was specified in the name of the dish. Although I like the latter a bit more than the former, my omelet was still to my liking. It's also worth noting that their coffee is average at best. It's basically Bunn coffee-maker java. As a friend of mine from Italy would say, it's "coffee water". That's disappointing for a place that otherwise offers stellar breakfast fare. Lunch and dinner options here are OK, but nothing special in my opinion. However, it really depends on what you like. Having said that, I will say that they do chicken very well and their potato crusted flounder is decent. But my favorite dinner there is their Wild Fire Chicken Salad. In the words of Sheldon Cooper, it's "zing-gy". The service at this location is inconsistent. That's sometimes reflected as soon as you walk in the door as about one in every two or three times we've visited, no one has been at the front to greet and seat. Sometimes it takes a minute or two even if it's not busy and there is an abundance of open tables. I'll note that the morning crew is their all-star lineup. Their best servers work the breakfast shift as do their best kitchen staff and management. Service at dinner, by contrast, can be hit or miss. On our recent visit at dinner time (we had a gift card to use), the service was...OK. But that's an improvement from what I've experienced during evening hours in the past at this establishment. The cost of eating at BE has taken a small hike in recent times, as has everything else. Whether it's breakfast or lunch or dinner, it's tough to get out of there for under $10 per person after food, drink, tax and tip. The last trip was about $15 per person. That's not unreasonable these days for any place not named Taco Bell or McDonald's but, to be honest, the value for me is marginal (at least at dinner time). One tip is that, if you want to save a couple of bucks per person, just get water to drink. I don't find their standard drinks (coffee and soda) worthwhile, except perhaps the lemonade and iced tea. In general, I can sum this up by saying that BE brings back childhood memories for me. But the memories from that particular part of my brain are not necessarily fond ones. I had great parents but their taste in food was not among the things I admired most about them. I do not need to be coerced to go to BE for breakfast. Otherwise, however, any other visit is either by default (Adrian is not a mecca for great food) or is a compromise when eating with others. In the grand scheme of things, it's an OK choice and I can make do.

    Well, we've been sitting at Bob Evans for 20 minutes waiting for breakfast. I guess the waitress is a little upset because I wanted a strawberry lemonade and she misunderstood what I said so now my food is sitting under the heat lamp on the counter because she is being rude. Clearly, it's not that busy tables are

I'm not sure if they change or add to menu, though I'm hoping they do, cause they seem like the kind of place that will. Oh also: the aioli is fab, even better than my own which I admit I am partial to--more lemon, maybe? Some specific oil and vinegar blends? Good work, guys. Wish I had more reason to be in Adrian.

I do want to start with some thoughts before I give the highlights. We were charged a percent for using a credit card. I cannot speak to the in-person menu, but I combed the online menu and it did not mention that. We were also charged for ranch. Most places do not do that, and we were not informed there would be an upcharge. Most places allow you a sauce to go with fries. Also, for my meal, there is an image of an extra sauce which it did not come with, but we were charged for two small portions of ranch. Last, the server was just okay. I always enthusiastically ask questions to get to know more about a place. I asked if they had any other fruity drinks. She pointed to the drink menu and indicated just the Paloma. I said, but you have a full bar, this is the only fruity drink you make? She did not want to ask the bar, but I asked her to. The bar apparently only came up with one other drink idea, which I ended up getting two drinks listed on the menu (both very good) but it seemed like work for her to go out of her way to inquire. I also bet they could have made many fruity drinks, like maybe a Mai Tai, or some equivalent. Oh well. On the other hand, the Paloma was actually very good. It was a quality Paloma and I do recommend. Their other drink was seasonal with lavender, also a very nice drink. Most of the other places, like Honcho, I have no problem with getting a variety of drinks or inquiring about them, and the bar tender here did a great job. I came here because I was targeted by an ad on Instagram. This place was not on my radar, but since they created a meal (Steak-frites) very similar to Le Relais in Paris and New York, etc... I wanted to try it. It came with bottomless parm fries. The fries were crispy, savory, and delightful. The steak was super well cooked and was like butter. You did not even need a knife, it cut with a fork. Since I love next day leftovers, the steak was still super delicious and tender the next day. It was still like butter and cut with a fork. I would absolutely come back for that and bring the rest of my family. We also tried the tri-tip sandwich. We were told the bread was made fresh. I thought it was very good and very tender. My husband would have liked an au jus or horseradish sauce. He would try the hamburger next, but I would love another steak-frites, like right now! We were sad the coffee and pastry section closed early. In the past, at Honcho, we would get coffee and pastry after dinner since their coffee tends to be really good and quality. I would consider coming for brunch to try some. We talked to a gentleman who was part of the business as he was working hard. He was very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to hear our thoughts. I told him I was here for the steak. He thought I had a "but". I did not, it was great and I hope they can maintain that price point and the second serving of fries, because that was my main reason for visiting. He let us know the menu recently changed. I am not able to compare since this was my first time, but I liked that they had a steak dinner and pizza. If we come back my oldest loves this group's pizza, she gets it at Vinsetta, and this one looked very good.

I don't like that but the staff is completely rude and disrespectful, borderline hostile. They will go out of their way passive aggressively, and it is an unimaginable recurring event. I've been to this restaurant almost 20 times probably this year, with friends and family, and business colleagues, and it almost turns out the same time every time. The restaurants policy is not to share food, so even if you feed your four-year-old child some of your eggs, they will charge you for an entire separate entrée of food. Mind you, that is an entire entrée food you did not receive... But got charged for... I am extremely stunned that lawsuits have not blossom from this location. I'm ashamed to have eaten there so much, honestly. One of the major concerns I have with his restaurant is accountability and integrity. It's not just one employee or event, but it has been handfuls of employees and dozens of visits. I highly recommend you think twice before visiting this restaurant, or at least visit with low expectations. And please, check your food before eating it, three times this year I've had multiple friends order the chicken and it was uncooked, and they got food poisoning. I really think someone needs to report this restaurant to the health department, they are clearly in violation. And perhaps a better business bureau because the moral compass they are currently embracing is very embarrassing.
