I discovered today that I do not like Bob Evans! Our server was kind. However she didn't know anything about which coupons were acceptable or not. She brought only our menus when she first came to our table. I was very thirsty and would have loved to of had a glass of water brought to my table with or before my menu. However Bob Evans doesn't do this. Infact unless a customer request a glass of water they don't bring them out at all. Next when my sister tried to order chicken strips we were informed they were out of chicken strips and mac & cheese. Evidently that wasn't all they were out of. Because when I ordered what they call a fruit bowl it was only grapes and musk mellon. That was just disappointing. After searching for any coupons available for Bob Evans I finally found a few. By the way it is extremely difficult just to find ten coupons for Bob Evans. When I brought several different ones up to the register the manager informed me that everyone of them was unacceptable​ for one reason or another. These websites are very reliable and I use coupons from them all the time at other restaurants and stores! But this place is insanely determined to charge full price. In general this whole fustrating experience sucked. It sucked because of how this Bob Evans is ran. The policies and lack of quality is why it gets one star. Not because of the employees. They did their best. Also, the food wasn't anything special. It's really heavy on cheap carbs. They offer grilled chicken breast and ice burg lettuce as about the only remotely healthy options. Oh yes and let's not forget the "fruit bowl"... (See picture) Overall I left here feeling ripped off, agrevated, tired, and certain that I just do not like Bob Evans at all. read more

I always like the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. This Bob Evans was like the others. Average chain service. Good when needing something familiar :-) read more

I haven't been to a Bob Evans in 20 yrs so decided to stop in the Champaign IL Order the 3 course meal of soup or salad, chicken and cookie. The soup came after the the main meal?? Too late and no longer hungry for it. Also the spoon stood straight up by itself in a broth base chicken noodle soup?? Looked and taste tested-- awful! read more

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

I used to love Bob Evans. Not sure if I've changed or they have, but I have to say I was not impressed this morning. The sausage is still good, but everything else tasted like crap. You mileage may vary. read more

Consistancy is not this restaurants claim to fame. Service is sad. Unless you get a veteran server

Decided to try lunch to go today. I ordered the ham & swiss grilled on sourdough and vegetable soup. It's just OK. The ham is a fat piece of ham but the sandwich itself was not bad. I liked the bread and the swiss cheese. The vegetable soup was ok but it had a lot of corn in it. The people working at the counter were very nice and the service was speedy. I don't feel like I should change my rating because there is nothing stellar about today's visit and quite frankly I have experienced better. read more

Bob Evans - 1/2 Slow roasted Ham & Swiss grilled sandwich & beef vegetable soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Sometimes, you just want breakfast. I get that. I've only had breakfast foods here, so I can't comment on anything else. The pancakes are pretty good, but they're huge. I can barely finish half of them even when I'm really hungry. I'm a huge fan of breakfast potatoes, and I've never been disappointed with them here. Everything I've tried has been pretty good, though nothing outstanding. I think you could order just about anything without being disappointed, so long as you don't look at the nutritional information. I don't go here often, however, because it never sits well with me afterwards. I once ate here for breakfast before meeting with a professor, and that was a poor choice. I'm happy he was running late too so I didn't have to explain what kept me... read more

This has to be the friendliest Bob Evans I've been to in a very long time. From the time I walked in the door we were greeted warmly, or were they flirting with us? Anyhoo, they made us feel welcome after a long road trip. The food was excellent, I had the breakfast. The facility is immaculate, and the environment matches as well. This Bob Evans is a hidden gem in this little town. read more

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

This beacon of light half way thru a five hour trip appeared as if a mirage in the distance...or, ya know, on the corner. We arrived and made a dash straight to the restrooms which we were happy to discover were very clean. We were a party of nine so they couldn't sit us at the same table so split us into two tables right next to each other, which suited us fine. Our waitress could not have been less thrilled to serve us. I don't think I saw her crack a grin, much less a smile, the entire time. The food was decent. The pancakes had a seriously tough exterior, but the eggs were yummy, the biscuits and gravy devine, and my toast wasn't overly buttered (Rebeca has me looking out for that now). I had asked for there to be two seperate checks since trying to figure out a nine person tab could get ugly, however when it came time to pay, one check. Thank goodness everyone just decided to split the cost, which was wonderfully affordable, instead of picking it apart cent by cent. Overall, a good travel spot for decent food. read more

I was just at this specific location eating with my family. The waitress was wonderful, my problem was with the KFC mustache old man I'm assuming is the manager he was not welcoming at all. When he approached us to ask if everything was okay and before we could answer he walked away. And when we went to go pay he didn't even acknowledged us and just was flat out rude. read more

Just ate here. Had a western omelette and biscuits. It was all excellent. The service was great too. I travel and eat at places like this more than I should, so I know the difference. read more

This place used to be good but it's terrible now. Service is extremely slow (when they even bother talking to you) and it's clear they are prioritizing take out orders over customers waiting to be seated. The utensils we were given were still dirty and the food was barely luke warm. AVOID THIS PLACE read more

We were desperate for breakfast on our drive back to Chicago...and then appears a Bob Evans. woohoo! I can't believe some of the ridiculously unhealthy things they have on the menu - example: biscuit bread bowl with eggs, potatoes, cheese and meat in it, and hollandaise sauce on top. Seriously. Anyhoo, still delicious. We had french toast and an omelet. Both satisfied the breakfast craving. Service was good and fast. read more

We arrived at 11:05 for the Special of Farmers Choice Breakfast. As of 11:58 our waiter Jordan has still not delivered our breakfast. Complained to manager. Awful waiter awful service!! read more

Bob Evans is one of the best breakfast chains I've been to. The prices are pretty low with regular entrees ranging from $6 to $12. The summer specials are even lower and provide more variety. I got the border scramble omelette and the strawberry bake. The omelette was really nice and fluffy with a kick from the jalapenos. It came with a side of hashbrowns. The strawberry bake was nice and $6.99 with a breakfast meat and a bowl of fruit. It was sweet and thick with brioche as the bread and a sweet strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries. It's loud since it's busy, but that's typical for a breakfast place imo. I would definitely go here again! read more

Awful store. Made family of 9 wait an hour for their order when it can 4 other families had walked out because of the same thing. Cold burnt food way to late read more

Ahh since I am on an out of state trip with other wrestlers in from Northern California. So we went to the local la quinta across the street and we decided to go here. Then we came here and so far the ambiance is very nice. Same thing with the waitresses and waiters they are very nice and follow carefully of your order. The pricing is average and seems like the staff are determined to work at this place. I do suggest you go here~ read more

The first time I went here, I ordered the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. I was not impressed with the quality (I can make it better than they do) and it didn't seem worth the price. However, the second time I went here, it was for breakfast. I had a waffle with sausage and added a side of hash browns for a few dollars extra. The food tasted really good, but I regret ordering the hash browns because they barely gave me any and it did not seem worth the extra cost. read more

THEIR BISCUITS AND GRAVY = SUPER DELICIOUS! So it was U of I move-in weekend last weekend. Stayed overnight at a nearby hotel since it was quite a drive from chicago. Decided to give this place a go and was very pleased with the food and the service. I ordered their Sunshine and Rise or whatever it's called: 2 eggs, 4 sausage links, home fried potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy. I really liked it. And thr price was not bad at all. Our waitress was nice and always made sure we were doing well. This is definitely a place to stop by if you are ever in the area. read more

I mean, I was really hungover, so it did it's job. But it was one of the greasiest things I've ever eaten in my life. Took about 15-20 minutes to get a table, but the service was good. Just don't order the country fried steak unless you want a heart attack at 11:00 am. read more

The place has really good food. And the best part was the people working there. The General Manager by the name Robert Jones Sr. was literally bringing out boxes with ingredients on them so we could navigate through my food allergies. This is a special place. They work with people. read more

How is this place empty? Seriously, the food is good the prices are good if not comparable to most places. If you don't want to wait in line this is the place. This place was empty @ 5:30 and, based on the food, it should be full. I highly recommend giving it a shot. read more

Waitress had weeping, open sores and excessive sweating issues. Messed up order more than 4 times. Received order in varying degrees of temp and time ranging from lava and immediately, to ice cold and 1 hour later. Kept getting excuses about being super busy but no one was there. Coffee was bitter and biscuits were rocks. We didnt even order biscuits. They just showed up. Omelette reaked of peppers despite ordering just cheese bacon and sausage omelette. Hash browns werent even fully cooked, and messed up twice. Charged twice on card despite being assured the first charge was being refunded. My fiance barely made it home before vomitting. Needless to say this place was a train wreck. Go somewhere else. Seriously. read more

Well I've only been here for a five minutes and my service has already been horrible. I get my drink and right before I go to have some I find a bug in my drink. Check your products before serving them to your customer. To make it even better my meat was undercooked and still pink and my oatmeal tasted horrible. read more

I had turkey dinner atBob Evans on Thanksgiving day at 6:00pm in Champaign IL. One meager slice of turkey 1/8" thick. Smashed potatoes were good. Dressing gave me heartburn not sure what was in it. Green beans were pretty good. Look at the picture of the cranberry cup l, thats how it was served, like someone ate out of it. Their excuse was that different people filled the cups, and I could have my choice of pie, except pumpkin was the only pie left and it was beyond terrible. As you can see I had a few bites but it was really the worst pumpkin I ever had. I will never go back to Bob Evans. They absolutely ruined my Thanksgiving, I had tears in my eyes after I left. I have shown dozens of people my cranberry cup. I feel bad I was stuck by myself in Champaign for Thanksgiving and not getting back to the neighbors for a real dinner in the Chicago burbs. Most restaurants were closed on Thursday, my choices were limited but McDonalds was open. Never ever again and its my mission to spread the word. read more

One of my favorite breakfast restaurants that is a chain. Great sausage, french toast, pancakes, crepes! Also good lunch and dinner menus, but to me breakfast is the best part. Staff has always been quick and food is usually served very quickly. I have never had a subpar meal and highly recommend it as a breakfast place in particular. read more

They claimed to be significantly busy. Only 20 people in the restaurant. Terrible service. Orders were wrong and food wasn't the best.

We have visited this BE's a few times in the past. Usually it has been pretty good. Today was different. One of our party wanted to try the brioche french toast with blueberries. Ordered it as such. The order didn't come that way; just the french toast. Our patron thought that she had ordered wrong, and none of the rest of us knew if she did(vocalized) I understand that times are hard, and everyone has to watch the bottom line, but I ordered their Rise and Shine breakfast, and I was thoroughly amazed at the small amount of home fries that was served with it. Potatoes are cheap. I was fine with the amount of eggs and bacon. Potatoes are cheap^2. I learned awhile ago to order scrambled eggs 'hard', to make sure that they wouldn't be soupy. I thought that I learned to order my glass of milk 'with the meal' to not have it sit on the table nor back in the server area and get all warm before the breakfast was served. I like a nice, cold milk with breakfast. I guess from now on I need to order a milk right when the whole breakfast order gets delivered to the table, because my Fing milk was warm as it came out of the cow. Our patron did bring up the error on the brioche, and the manager made a bill adjustment. But, I still feel bad that anything had to be done. Personally: Warm milk is the downfall. Forecast: We will be trying MANY other breakfast venues in the area before going this one again. Sorry, Bob, we won't be going down on the farm in this location for a long time. The Men's bathroom REALLY need attention. I would not have wanted to have the need to use the toilet. read more

Went to dinner with the family tonight. I will not be going back. We had a 45 minute wait to get our food 1/2 of the family waited an hour for theirs. I ordered 2 eggs Omer easy, bacon, hash browns and biscuits and gravy. Eggs were cold and hard Bacon burnt. Hash browns tasted like chemicals. That was just my order. There was nine of us to night for dinner. Spent over 130.00. And no one got hot food. No refills on drinks. Paid the bill and came home to cook. Bad food bad attitude from those that worked there. If it was possible to give a negative review I sure would. Manager and staff need to be fired and corp, needs to start over or close down. read more

The place was packed and many people were waiting for a table when we arrived. We were seated fairly quickly and had James as our waiter. He was honestly the best waiter we have ever had. Nothing escaped his attention even though he was so very busy. Our food was served quickly and was very good. The restaurant is nicely decorated and was clean, including the restrooms. read more

Service is non existent. We have been here for 30 min and have ordered but only received one cup of coffee. Waitress is no where to be found and cooks must be on strike. read more

Horrible service. Waited 20 minutes just for drink order. Another 45 minutes for the food. On a week day morning completely unacceptable. Can only imagine how bad the weekends are. Is there anyone managing this place. Absolute mess. read more

I think I am now aware why the parking lot is empty on a home game day. Wow, get it together people

First time at Bob Evans and I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience. The food was fantastic (I had the sirloin steak and eggs with hash browns and biscuits) and super cheap. I ate with two other people and yet the total cost was roughly 10$ per person (insane!!!). Their buttery biscuits were melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the juicy steak was cooked to perfection. Before I ordered I was stumped on what I wanted to try, everything sounded so good!! There was no wait for a table whatsoever (we went around 7ish on a weekday) and we were greeted immediately by our waiter. He was so friendly, funny, and helpful. Overall, our experience was more than I could have asked for and I have to thank our waiter for giving us a truly memorable first time at this breakfast place. I'm sad that we're from Chicago and cannot visit often, but it's definitely a worthwhile stop when dining in Champaign. read more
