So it started with the waitress not saying good morning. We showed up on Sunday the 18th at 12:39 pm. We ordered the veggie protein bowl with a biscuit and gravy as well as a double meat plate. My friend asked for the pancakes to come out sooner and she said no as the place was slammed. She ended up bringing us the pancakes early after all! Then my coffee has grounds in it! Over all this was a 5 out of 10. Not sure I'd return. read more

I ordered for pickup and once I got home to eat it, both me and my husband found that they got both of our orders wrong, and our pancakes were miniature compared to how they usually are at different locations. Everything was thrown together and soggy, which isn't because of the 2 minute drive home. So disappointed and won't be eating here again read more

Hey, Bob Evan's is just that, Bob Evan's. You're tired. You're hungry. You need something close and hot. Pop on in. Food is dependable. Service is reputable. Prices reasonable. And besides, you know you want to sing the jingle the minute you see the sign. And if you're going to see your grandbabies, there's always something fun in the lobby to buy and make their parents think you're not the same people that raised them. So go get your, "Bob Evan's, down on the farm." read more

Terrible service. Drinks weren't refilled until asked. Over half the tables were empty and had to wait 25 minutes to be seated in an empty restaurant. Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone around us received service but not our table. We had children at our table the others were elders an a couple young couples. read more

So we been driving toward home for two days and stop in Festus for the night. Driver was very tired so we decide to try Bob E. next door. Checked Yelp reviews and thought we were safe. Your assumptions can kill you. We were not familiar with Bob E. but were quite disappointed. I tried the batter fried chicken with potatoes and gravy and my SO "country" fried steak with same. Rolls and butter good. Potatoes w/ gravy and veggies good. We should have ordered vegan. The chicken batter had an unpleasing aftertaste. My SO only struggled to eat a small portion of steak as it too was unpleasant. As we were leaving a customer sent back food with a hair included. Sorry Bob E...you achieved a slot on our never again" list read more

Nice at home country atmosphere, friendly waitress with excellent service and the food was great . Both of us had the new Mac & cheese with pulled BBQ pork on top in a large bowl. It was fantastic with a great taste, Worked well together!! Needs to be added to the online menu. read more

Super busy, but everyone working together and provided great service. Definitely will return.

Fast and friendly seating as well as service. Food was good and the wait was not long nor bad so overall it's 5 star service as well as food and friendliness read more

We stayed next door at the La Quinta Inn so we thought we would try Bob Evans for breakfast. We had to wait 15 minutes because it was busy but once we were seated we were greeted and ordered quickly. Our food came quickly and was hot. The eggs were exactly as ordered. I would have given them a 5 star but the bacon had good flavorand was meaty but it looked pre cooked and was very dry, almost the consistency of beef jerky. The pancakes and crepes were light fluffy and delicious. The service was very good and friendly. read more

This Bob Evan's did not disappoint. I ordered ham steaks, mashed potatoes, and mac. Overall, the whole meal was warm but not hot; something I do not mind but definitely something to note. The quality of the food was good, no complaints there. Our waitress was attentive and polite, offering refills when we were low and getting our orders accurate. I would definitely come back. read more

Bob Evans - Yeast Dinner Rolls - American Near Me - Festus, Missouri

So awful! Chicken was rubbery and tasted like they had dropped a box of salt on it. Avacado NOT! Old guacamole on top! Super salty broccoli. Waitress and checkout girl said.... Oh sorry. I just got here when I said it was so bad. Then the girl at the checkout said but have a nice day and enjoy the weather! Don't eat here!! read more

We just got home from Bob Evans and ordering breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children. As soon as our food came out, a large COCKROACH scurried across our table, I'm guessing it came from under one of the plates because it certainly was not there before our food came out. Luckily we hadn't eaten anything yet, and of course our appetite was completely ruined after this happened. An associate quickly came over and grabbed the roach before I thought to get a picture. I was in shock and just so grossed out because this has never happened to me anywhere in my life. Even worse that my kids were at the table getting ready to dig in to their pancakes, which God only knows if a cockroach had been crawling over them or nibbling on them first. They ended up comping the entire order and we left it all untouched on the table. Absolutely disgusting and we will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Always can get something good @ Bob Evans!l!! Good food at a good price too. Glad they are recognizing the sacrifices of our military heros by extending a militay discount to them. read more

Don't order an omlett, It was just disappointing biscuits are good service was good floor is nasty. I'm supposed to leave eighty five characters but I can't think of anything else to say read more

Me and my father in law are pretty much regulars for breakfast. The servers even remember our orders without being told. They are incredible with their service and their food is the best around! We even drive 20 minutes just to eat there when there's several options locally. We have also been there for lunch and dinners as well,and again, the food and service are the best around! Keep up the good work! read more

Had a quick lunch with wife and 12 yr old grandson. Food was delicious...waitress was fast, super sweet attitude and perfect in every way.. Food is always good at B.E. and on this trip our waitress made a soggy, rainy day just so much brighter. SHALL RETURN!!!!!#! read more

Bob Evans - What an eater!!!!!! - American Near Me - Festus, Missouri

I rate the food as very good Donna was our waitress and she was and is great every time. I rate the courtesy of the hostesses less than accommodating. Donna and all the waitresses were working non stop. Both of the female hostesses looked several times at the in bussed tables and moved on. Not once did they help the waitresses!!! Ridiculous as they stand around and talk!! I feel this is a waste of staff especially on a Saturday or Sunday. They could assist the waitresses as when customers have to wait and see those girls stand and talk it's frustrating and can deter further business. When you work in any business, team work works best!! read more

Just ate here absolutely delicious. The crispy chicken tenders were absolutely mouth watering! Me and my mom were looking for something new and country and this hit the spot for sure! I've never experienced anything this clean cute and country. I will definitely try again! read more

I have made a LOT of bread over the years. The roll I had been looking forward to was kept in the walk-in about 2 days past when they should have been thrown out. You can tell just by looking at them. I tried a small bite...it was awful. So... while they probably did this in an effort to save money, what actually happened is they lost my business. I won't eat from a place that doesn't throw it's food out when it goes bad. read more

I keep my expectations very low, and they were barely met. I knew I was coming in within an hour of closing, but it was a lat night and I wasn't feeling fast food. So here I am with subpar restaurant food. read more

We were worried to stop at this location because of the low stars, but everything was great! They were pretty crowded, but it didn't seem to take too long to get waited on or to receive our food. The order was correct, and everything tasted great! The waitress was very friendly, and she gave us refills and whatever we needed. We would definitely stop again. read more

Order 2 salads on-line for a carry out, both grilled chicken and got fried chicken on both. Payed extra for blue cheese crumbles and did not get it. Love Bob Evans, just not this one! Carry outs here take FOR EVER. Does not seem to be a well managed location. read more

What can I say since this is a very convenient restaurant to have breakfast while traveling through the area. Surprised to see their menu has changed; didn't find my regular breakfast item. Food is okay, arrived hot, reasonable prices. read more

Ordered the USDA sirloun dinner, the steak was so tiny. Granted it says 6oz on the menu but this thing was terrible. Basically paid $11.99 for a baked potatoe and green beans. Don't order the steak if you are looking for a decent cut of meat. read more

Really slow service tonight. Food is good but it took 35 minutes for the kitchen. To compound things further, the hostess keeps seating more people in our section. read more

We are locals here. Bob Evans is not a place we frequent, just not a favorite place to eat. Last night we had the BEST SERVER. Her name was Taleah. Made our meal and experience there perfect. read more

The service and food was excellent. We were a little concerns ready other people's reviews. Not sure how they rated this, but we had a Great experience. The only thing that they could improve is a few items need to be updated on their menu.... read more

I've been here a few times and it's always pretty good. This visit was no different. I was seated right away and greeted by the waitress (Toni) who I gave trouble to because of the way she spelled her name. She was super quick and always kept my drink full. The food was pretty good but the Mac and cheese was ice cold. All in all it was well worth the money and I will go back. read more

Best place I have eaten in awhile, the food came out super quick and the waitress was great! Super nice and had a great conversation definitely will be going again:) read more

My husband and I have always liked this Bob Evans, but the last few times we have went they have been out of what we want. We went yesterday and my husband ordered a steak with mushrooms and Monterey cheese. They brought him out the steak with peppers all over it. He told them that is not what he ordered and then the cook started arguing with the waitress. Needless to say my husband said never mind and he didn't get anything. We ordered the NEW hot chocolate bread and then they told us they were out of that too. Every time we go they are out of their breads. So much for endless breads!! read more

This was my first time in over 40 years EVER inside a Bob Evans. I refused to go here for many reasons but my cousin was in town sooooo OK fine.... I got the pancakes. They were good, and reasonably priced. They had good coffee too. The service was SLOW. I prob would not choose to go back here on purpose. read more

My first thoughts were this looks nice, however when we were set down the more I looked around the less I liked. The place really needs a good cleaning. I'm not talking about just got done with a rush mess. If they have a cleaning crew they need to get a new one. The window sill and blinds were nasty as well as a lot of other things. To many things to list here, I just think if the dining room looks like that, don't even want to think about the kitchen. We won't be going back anytime soon, and that is a shame because I think Bob Evan used to have really good food. read more

The service is horrible. I am sitting here now and been waiting for 45 minutes just for my coffee. I have already talked to two waitress just to take an order. Holy Cow. You ask why I am still staying???because my boys are actually behaving. I will never go to this place again. read more

Standard industrialized processed near-food items. The salty-greasy-crunchy-sweety flavors we have been reared on. Friendly folks with lots of local veteran photos in the entryway. read more

I ordered the Pot Roast for carry-out and was very disappointed by the lack of roast beef. There were only a few bites of meat included. I will never order that item and may not visit this restaurant again. Had I been eating in the restaurant, i would have sent the meal back and asked "Where's the BEEF?" read more

We visited in Thanksgiving afternoon. The coffee was cold. They were out of the sweet breads, stuffing and pecan pie at 4 pm. No silverwear. We waited a half hour for our food. Our waitress was short with us. Broccoli was raw when it should have been cooked. My mom barely got any turkey. Everything was cold. Told them up front and they said they would tell the general manager. It wasn't the waitresses fault. We'll never be back!!!!! read more

This is the worst Bob Evans I've ever been to. My first visit, I found a chain link from jewelry in my food. Upon speaking with the manager, he tried to tell me that no-one there wore jewelry. The staff is full of girls. I'm sure someone obviously does. I went months without visiting and decided to try again today. First off, the booth they tried to seat us in was dirty. There were pieces of food on the bench, which was NOT cleaned off before they sat someone else there. After ordering, the waitress came back to inform us that they were out of home fries. No big deal, as they were substituted with hash browns. Later on, when we tried to add something to our order, the waitress said they were out of those too. She was sweet and attentive, but a dirty establishment and not having ingredients on hand for several menu items is bad for business. If you want a good Bob Evans, don't choose this one. It's worth the extra driving to go elsewhere. Also, the young woman at the register (blond perm) was very off-putting. She acted very strange and kept staring at my husband and then stared me down when she thought I wasn't noticing. read more

Was really upset about the lack of service I received today. I came in around 9:45 am with my son to have a breakfast date. Upon walking in, there was no host at the hostess stand and we were never greeted. It was a little busy at the time so I tried to disregard it. There were two gentlemen who were waiting as well and after waiting for 5 minutes someone finally came and took them to a table. However, she never said a word to me and my son. We waited another 5 minutes or so and still never saw anyone. I tried to be patient but we were both pretty hungry and in a bit of a hurry so we left. I work in the food industry as a server and I try to be as understanding of situations as much as possible, but to not even great a guest within 10 minutes of them walking through the door is not okay. Even if someone would have told me there was a wait, that would have been fine. Not a single employee even acknowledged us. I am so disappointed. read more

Was in here today. Worst experience in a restaurant i had in quite a while. Order was wrong had to eat after my wife was almost finished. Then while we was dining someone was yelling from the kitchen dropping the f bomb. My carrots were crunchy under cooked but no one came back to check on us. Then the waitress charge me for the order she had wrong. They had to get a manager to change it and she seemed put off by us wanting it changed. It was more than a seven dollar difference of course I wasn't going to pay it. She didn't even say sorry. Wont go back in there anytime soon. read more
