This was my first time here at this location and truth be told it was hidden from the road. I would never have found it if it weren't for gps. What they need is a large sign that can be seen from the highway. It's 5:30 pm on a Friday evening and we are the only customers here. So not sure how they stay in business. I'm guessing they make up for it on the weekends. The food is good! No complaints at all. I had the trio which was ham, turkey, pot roast with stuffing and mashed potatoes and carrots and onions. With a salad on the side. A good hearty meal is what I had. The service was also fine. I would definitely come back now that I know where it is. read more

The reason I gave it 5 stars is because the staff was incredibly kind. Their food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The manager was exceptionally friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our server was also great; she ensured that we had everything we needed. We have gone there several times with my family and every time we felt welcome if you guys go, y'all should consider trying the cheesecake. It was absolutely phenomenal. read more

Ok. Server rude. Not friendly at all to me and my 8 yr old son. Said the cook couldn't make over easy eggs. What ? It's Bob Evan's - it's breakfast. Last time I was there to pick up a take out order they forgot several thing. I agree with other reviews. Won't be back. read more

We went to Bob Evans Hilliard Rome Rd for the first time in months. Our waitress was inattentive it took 10 minutes just to get drinks and then another 40 minutes to get our food. other waitresses were busting butt getting orders out while our waitress was nowhere to be found. Finally the waitress came over to apologized and said there's only one cook after several more minutes she brought our food. Mine was warm my wife's was cold. As I was leaving i looked in the kitchen area and counted 3 cooks and a manager. I would not recommend this location. read more

I love bob evans food, and luckily this location is almost walking distance for me so over time I have given them decent business. Things have went down hill bad in the last year there. I call today and immediately told they have my order (apparently there's another regular with the same name... no big deal but I respond "that's not me"). The worker goes silent so I ask "should I start ordering" she tells me to hold on. As I go on to order I'm interrupted many times. I was told food would take 15-20 mins. Food ended up taking 30 minutes while the whole inside was empty. Again no big deal. They hand me the other person (same names) food. Thank god I check or I would've had an even worse experience. Finally I check my food and notice my gravy isn't on my potatoes. The worker looks me dead in the eye and says "you told me no gravy on the phone". First of all even if I did, I'm asking for it now. Second of all I've never in my life eaten mashed potatoes without gravy. I specifically asked for chicken gravy but in what world does a worker speak to a customer like this? You have lost my business. I'd rather drive to west broad at this point. read more

Take out service sucks. I got a western omelet and got crusted up ground sausage instead of the ham, which is the only meat I really like there so was upset. When the original meal had ham, so have no clue why I got overcooked fatty sausage instead. The presentation was sloppy. With the brown avocado and not fresh tomato on top of the omelet it looked like puke. The only reason I gave this two stars is because when we eat there the servers are always kind. But either way I strongly advise going to a different Bob Evans's. Seriously. Or at least get cooks that care. read more

Went here knowing service prob had not changed. Got seated , we were a party of 2. There was a party of 4 that was seated. That's it. No one else there. After 15 min and still had not had our drink order taken. Won't go back. It's a shame read more

Worse food I ever had. Ordered blt got home it was awful. Just thrown in box, one piece of bread one way the other piece of bread turned opposite way not even sliced. Opened up there was 4 pieces of burnt bacon stacked on top of each other in a pile with 4 tomatoes on top of that. Cook should have been fired on the spot. Call and talked to the manager on duty,Bridget, and her answer was oh I'll look into it. Didn't even offer a refund. Old Mr. Evans is rolling around in his grave!!!!! read more

When we arrived they told us 10 min wait. After that they told us additional 15 min wait. Problem was we were the only ones in the waiting room. And the tables were only half empty. Bad management at this location. The waitress told us after being seated that the manager sent employees home because of slow down. Well it was only 1 pm. That's ridiculous to send employees home at that time. Maybe wait till at least two. Come on. Bad management for sure. My meal came out and the home fries were requested to be cooked well done. They came out actually undercooked. Still soggy. Bad management indeed. Oh. By the way. Did I mention bad management. Because no manager came over to apologize for my having to wait ten additional minutes for my replacement food. There are prob 10-15 Bob Evans in Columbus Ohio. Maybe I'll just go to one of them. read more

This is a chain restaurant that provides lower quality food that most Bob Evan's. If your looking for long waits and poor service this is the spot for you. We dined in at the restaurant this evening where we were quickly seated and had our drink order taken as well as our food order. Waited 20 plus minutes for refills on drinks and food. The highlight was the cold mashed potatoes and gravy with no explanation for the slow service or cold food. P.S. There were only 12 people dining in the restaurant. P. S. S. Hope this brings a highlight to your dining experience. Enjoy! read more

Doesn't even deserve q star waitress was incompetent and manager was just plain mean all orders were wrong and incomplete. Manager didn't care and basically told us so. Management tried to be nice at the end but the damage was done . I eat in this area alot but will never go back to this Bob Evans. Bob Evans is usually OK but not this one read more

I order food every Friday night, been "fighting" with DoorDash who apparently can find my neighbors apartment but not mine, it's NEXT DOOR (they suggested I go wait at my neighbors apartment #WTF Bob Evans is probably not aware of this and when I did address it they didn't seem to concerned. I pay good money for the food and 8 out of 10 times the food is cold and the rolls from last week. Called several times to discuss this with Bob Evans but they don't seem worried... This Friday night tradition may have to end. (Bob Evans doesn't care I expect ‍ read more

This place is a management and kitchen nightmare that needs some intervention: 1. Employees are unhappy and look tired as if they are suffering working here. One waiter argued with customers and assused them of ordering the wrong items; 2. The steak I got tasted like a piece of meat frozen in the freezer for a decade; 3. Never got my side dish, minimal care. One good thing - the waitress eventually removed the steak from my bill. Please save your money and time and find another restaurant if you can. read more

Slow service. Order wrong. Had to ask for more coffee twice. Haven't been here for a little while, guess we won't be back for awhile either. read more

Good food and service at this location. I got the pot roast. Delicious. Just the right amount of food. I was a little bummed that they didn't have the caramel mocha drink since I looked forward to it. Didn't have to wait long for food. There were five of us and we got a nice big table so we had enough room read more

I actually really enjoyed my experience here and prefer Bob Evans over iHop. They have both breakfast and lunch, different specials, and their prices are very reasonable. Their crepes are to die for and I really enjoyed their home fries! Sausage patty was on the dry side. Their drinks come in cute mason jars! The service has been great the last couple times we came! read more

Was in Cbus for work and my boss suggested that we have a quick bite for breakfast at Bob Evans. Keep in mind that just flew in from the west coast the night before, so technically I was having breakfast at 4 AM. Bob Evans is located right next to the hotel that we're staying at so it was as convenient as it gets. Bob Evans is a fairly big breakfast/brunch joint with a huge opening once you walk in. The service is pretty good and their menu is pretty much what you'll find at IHOP, Denny's, and Coco's. Nothing really stood out to me and not much was said on any of the reviews regards to must tries. I opted for their Country Fried Steak, Eggs, and Wheat Toast. The food was decently sized, fresh, and favorful. Other reviewers stated that the service was below average, but at 7 AM it was pretty good. Our cups of joe were kept full and the orders were served fairly quick. I would recommend Bob Evans if you're in the area. However, since it's your basic breakfast food, it's not a place I see myself going out of the way to get to. read more

The more and more that I come here the more I really like it. We had a wonderful experience last night. Food was very tasty and affordable. The staff was very kind and attentive the entire night. We had an amazing waitress who checked on us often and provided recommendations on the menu. I got the pot pie dinner which included endless bread, salad, entree with one side, and dessert. You can make any dinner entree into a 3 course meal just by adding $2 more. So affordable! The pot pie crust was extremely flakey which is just the way I like it. The inside was hot and the vegetables and chicken seemed very fresh. I got coleslaw on the side which was great and bursting with flavor. I don't see why people are leaving bad reviews on here. You're getting great tasting food for a great price and a friendly and caring staff. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with a Bob Evans around but this may be my new favorite place for an affordable meal. read more

Been here an hour. Multiple tables open. Got seated 20 minutes after we arrived service was slow only giving half a cup of coffee at a time, had to get up and ask for refills. Still waiting on food 45 mins later. read more

It is Bob Evans, not the Bob's when Bob was alive. But what made the experience acceptable, was Sara the server and the friendly people that took care of us. Soup was served hot, drinks refilled in a timely fashion. Cole slaw as good as it always was. read more

Multiple times I sent my eggs back and kept getting them cold the country fried steak tasted like it has the grocery store freezer and a manager that wanted fight with memo thank you won't be back read more

The food was good, but cold. Took staff almost an hour to serve our orders, and although we did have a large party there were numerous dishes ready but not being served, seemed as if there was little collaboration between servers. Staff was friendly. Recommend if you're not on a time crunch, but taking an hour to get a burger and some breakfast that wasn't even warm wasn't the best experience. read more

The experience was absolutely terrible. Our waitress did not check up on us once. My hot chocolate was watered down and when I asked for a new one, the next one was the exact same. We arrived at 12:00pm and didn't get our food until 1:45pm. Almost walked out and told them keep the food because the service was so terrible. read more

batter in my pancakes bacon was burnt to the crisp the waiter yelled at me for sitting in a booth i WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

My friends and I came here and we were welcomed by a waitress with blue hair, I didn't have the patience to learn her name. She was having other people do her job, taking forever with our shit, walked away with our money and didn't come back until 20 minutes later. I get multitasking and the place was busy I get it but her service was absolutely horrible. Although they don't care I will not be coming back here read more

Well, I hate to say negative things about a place, but this is just an exception. Came in with a friend from school for breakfast, an it was mediocre from the start. Coffee cups were dirty, silverware was also dirty, our waitress seemed bothered by us asking for new ones. Then our food came out fairly quick, but was missing parts of our meal. Again the girl seemed bothered when I asked to be my food, and by time I got the toast,y eggs were cold. I didn't wanna ask to get it warmed up, I didn't wanna deal with her reaction. Just a poor experience really. Need to step up the customer service, it's just breakfast. read more

The only reason we ended up enjoying our experience overall was solely because of our waitress, the wait was long to get our food, some things were missing, the eggs undercooked. Granted, our food was hot. read more

This place continues to lack organization. The service out of the kitchen was very slow and the waitress had no personality I don't see this place lasting with this type of service. Not like the old Bob a Evans we used to love read more

This Bob Evans is seemingly better than the others I've been to. We've been here twice now, and each experience was pleasant. The food is nicer than say, the Awful Waffle, but don't go in here expecting a gourmet experience either. It's just a nice place to go when you want some home style food without breaking the bank. I highly recommend the lemon bread, it's just the right amount and not too tart. The coffee is also really great. Don't drink the water though (tap, it's nasty). The roasted chicken and chicken pot pie are great, as well as the eggs, sausage, and pancakes. I'm yet to receive crispy hash browns. Staff is friendly, attentive, and the place is clean. It's quiet, and the food arrives fast. For what you get, you get your money's worth. read more

Everytime I come to this location I leave disappointed. I usually only come for breakfast but we decided to eat dinner here tonight, and it was worse then ever. It took about 5 minutes for the server to get my drink order and another 10 minutes for her to bring it back. I got a deep dish chicken noodle dinner with barley any chicken noodle soup on it. Our server never came back to check on us so I stopped a manager and asked for more soup, he said ok and walked away (never apologised) and never brought any back to me. Our service was awful, rude, and very slow. You guys need to retrain your staff, any staff member I have encountered has always been rude and doesn't seem like they want to be there. P.S. I am a server myself and have NEVER left a bad review but you guys need to fix something asap!! read more

Had Sara as our waitress and she was amazing. I never had to ask for anything because she was on top of it before I even had the chance. Kept the coffee and drinks filled, she was also very ery pleasant and friendly. Additionally, the portions of food were better than I have become used to. For a while it seems like you'd have to order more than the breakfast platters to get full at Bob Evans. But today's visit (8/25/2021) proved that wrong. Nobody in our party was able to eat everything they brought and the food was great. Ok, maybe the grits were a little over cooked, but nothing a little butter couldn't fix. All around a surprisingly pleasant experience that makes me want to go back again. Thank you Sara for helping make our visit so exceptional and reminding us just how good Bob Evans can be when the employees are invested in making it a place people want to go. read more

So annoyed with this place. The last time I ordered to go they shorted me a french toast and a home fry and also gave me a hash brown vs. home fry. This time I arrived on time and was i formed that my order never made it to the kitchen.... I have been waiting for 30 mins.... Totally disappointed The only reason why I even still go to this Bobs is because the location. There has been countless times that I travel almost triple The distance just to go to another Bobs. There is so much work that needs to be done with the staff at this Bobs. They have screwed me over countless times. I'm talking lore than 10 times.... read more

I see why everyone else says the service here is horrible. I placed an order online for the curbside service. Upon arriving 10 minutes early, I called and they said that my food wasn't ready (that's fine since I'm early) and that it'll be approximately 15 minutes. Then they said that they didn't offer curbside service after dark, which is also fine if they would have just mentioned that somewhere online before I place my order. So I went into the restaurant 15 minutes later, but my food still wasn't ready and they said it was probably gonna be another 10 minutes. They weren't even apologetic about it which was the worst part. I'm a pretty patient person and when this has happened at other restaurants, as long as they're nice and sincere about it, I have no problem waiting. All in all, I spent more than a half hour just waiting for my food, which should have been ready right on time since I placed the order online more than an hour in advance. Essentially the same as ordering right in the restaurant and waiting for my food. Haven't tried the food from this branch but will definitely not be coming back anytime soon! P.S. I wrote this entire long review while waiting for my food that should have been ready a good 20 minutes ago. Still waiting. Plus, they're not too busy at all. read more
