my family of three went for Mother's Day breakfast this morning - we were excited because it wasn't extremely . We were kindly greeted by the hostess Miss Janice and our server was very nice- UNTIL...We waited for about 41 minutes for our food!! When I asked about it, we were always told that it was coming out and we ended up Requesting to have it packed up to go because I had to get to work. In the meantime, a table of two came and sat, and their food came out within 10 minutes of them seating!! When we asked about it, we knew the server was slightly overwhelmed by our noticing. We immediately packed up our stuff to leave and on our way out The manager -Mandy, said that the table that got their food quickly were regulars!! What a horrible thing for Leadership to say to patrons!! Never again! read more

Welp tried Bob Evans again since the last fiasco. Manager sent me a gift card asking me to give them another chance. Went in today since our power was out. Got ignored by everyone except lady bussing tables, who said our server would be with us soon and I will get your drinks. She brought us 2 sweet teas and slammed them on the table. Still no server acknowledged our presence . We walked out and as we were going out the door we heard thwm say, they are walking out..... oh so you did see us . Ridiculous read more

This was probably my last time ever wasting my time or money at this Bob Evans. The staff was lazy and wasn't interested in helping customers. I ordered for pickup. Hit the im here on the email. Nobody ever acknowledged it. I went inside and the two gals working were not interested in why I was there. Finally I just blurted out I was there for an online pickup! One said its not ready. The other chick said yes it was sitting on the counter and then took off! The other girl finally came back and handed it to me and left. I asked for condiments and she said they were in the bag. I got home with the order and I was missing food and all my dinner rolls and no condiments in the bag. The food was cold and burnt. Disgusting and a total waste of $43. Sadly I tipped some lazy people for that garbage as well! Never again! I'll take my business to Cracker Barrel! read more

Bob Evans seems to always be a great choice for breakfast. They did not disappoint. Tried a new dish, New Garden Bowl - high in protein with vegetables, black beans and a really nice lime sauce. Grits & butter was on point. Fam enjoyed their pancake and French toast breakfasts. Staff was prompt to serve up our meal. The cafe was true to Bob Evans style and comfort. read more

Just wanted to give a SHOUT-OUT and big THANK YOU to Bob Evans for their support of our hometown heroes on Veterans Day! We go for breakfast and a hot cup of coffee every year, and they aways thank us for our service with tremendous grace and gratitude! Today, Courtnay was the only one working the front when we arrived, and she was hustling! We really appreciate her great service keeping about 12 tables happy and topped off. Thank you, Bob Evans, for prioritizing patriotism over profits and honoring the service and sacrifice of our Veterans and their families! You make us proud to be Americans! Keep serving those who serve with pride! You're the BEST! read more

Went for late lunch/early dinner. We got seated right away and our server came in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the fried chicken dinner. About 5minutes later the server came back and said there wasn't any chicken prepared and it would take 20minutes, is that okay? I said fine. My chicken came within that time frame and it was delicious! So worth the wait. My husband ordered the meatloaf and he said it was okay. The floor was a bit dirty with food and tables needed cleared but the service and chicken was great! read more

I felt like I was an interruption of the hostess day, a few grunted words, slamming silverware down, wow!! Now onto the food. Banana nut bread good! The server tried to smooth things over, tea glass full she saved the day! Her service was attentive, food was delicious! read more

Ugh. Don't get carry out or delivery. They don't seem to understand if you have breakfast for 20 people delivered to a company, we might need dishes and forks and napkins and coffee cups. SMH. read more

I have had better with other Bob Evans restaurants. Hostess was friendly and seated us promptly. They had a steady flux of patrons, but were not overly busy. Dining room area was clean. Restroom floor was slick, like greasy or soapy. Our waitress was efficient, but distant. I don't believe she felt well and seemed spread thin. The quality of the food was lacking as well. I ordered the pot roast sandwich, french fries and coleslaw. She must have run by the table three times telling us that our food was coming right up. Took a while for food to come out from the kitchen. She did bring the coleslaw out ahead of the rest of my food. Sandwich and fries came later. Coleslaw was decent. I don't recommend the pot roast sandwich. The toasted bread - dry and quite overly done, (i.e. hard as rock). And the pot roast on the sandwich was a bit dry as well. French fries were dry and well done as well. Meal and service was okay, but I have definitely had much better service and quality of food from Bob Evans in the past. I have to agree with other reviews for this location. read more

Bob Evans - Pot roast sandwich with french fries - American Near Me - Groveport, Ohio

Bad place to work. Poor management. Negative place. Drama. You name it. Make you leave early and you only get 4 hours a day. So I should say 2 hours a day read more

Always a reliable option. Never disappointed... breakfast and chicken noodles are bomb.

The very worst place to eat!! Walked in everything was just fine, placed our order, everything was fine. Seen that our food was ready sat up on the warmer for ten minutes. Our waitress brought our cold burnt food to us. Sent the food back! "The waitress told the cook we didn't like how it looked". My husband and I overheard the cook talking sh*t! I had to calm my husband done, asked for the manager, asked her would she eat this mess? Her reply was NO! My point exactly, explain to her what happened, all she could offer me was apology. Keep your apologies hire a whole new cook staff, and get a backbone!!! 40 minutes of my life that I won't get back. Totally a waste of time at this Bob Evans. This place needs to train the cooks how to have people skills, how to cook properly, and the waitress need to know how food is supposed to look b4 serving it to the guest. And management needs to be more active and seen. The worst experience ever!! I'm read more

My boyfriend and I ate here about a month ago I ordered the blt sandwich with fries. When it came the bacon was way over done and I like it crispy and the lettuce was covered with black mold. I was disgusted. My boyfriend doesn't like to call scenes so we let it go. So last night we try again. I order the same thing blt with fries. Waitress brings me out a bacon cheese burger with fries. I refuse to come to this place again. I expect to get what I order period. And I expect fresh food not moldly.. Never again wouldn't waste my money on your moldy food if I was starving. So disappointed. Down right pathetic. read more

Although we make it to Bobs on occasion, it's not as good as it was years ago. I gave up ordering their once famous sausages-years ago they just don't taste appetizing to me , yet if I make them at home they aren't that bad. I usually order bacon and I am satisfied with it. On my last visit I ordered eggs over easy , biscuits, home fries and bacon. I was satisfied but my husband a breakfast/ Bob Evans Fan, was disappointed to the point where he said he will never be back. He ordered, eggs over easy, biscuits and gravy, sausage links, home fries, and pancakes. He ate it because he was hungry , 1st reason why you go to eat , they failed on the second reason- quality food, third is service-they nailed it, forth is atmosphere- good, what you would expect from a Bob Evans. read more

this bob evans has the worst service you could imagine the people there seem like they don't like there job if you don't like ur job why work there? hiring manager acts like there a stick in her boot, the energy in the place feels off the only good thing was the food an it wasn't even cooked all the way. 3/10 service I don't recommend eating here with ur family. read more

This visit was great!!!!.. thank you Cherry. Not forsure if they Hired all new ppl.. which was wonderful..last time we went to Bob not such great service, this time was great... we dif will be returning.. thanks for such great service.. read more

It's family tradition to eat at a Bob Evans when in Ohio. The lower rating of this location made me nervous but we had a great experience! Food arrived quickly, and staff was attentive. My toddler loved getting to chose her own bendy straw- it's the little things! My veggie omelet was full of fresh veggies- no canned mushrooms or overdone broccoli here. Also, we liked that the menu had giant breakfasts but also lighter options- nice to have choices. read more

On Easter I ordered the turkey and ham celebration family meal for four for 1:30pm. It arrived one and a half hours late. There was no ham, no stuffing and no gravy for turkey. Pot Roast was supposed to substitute for ham but we only got a few pieces of roast beef, hardly enough to feed two people, instead of the four for which it was intended. This is not acceptable for Easter Sunday. VERY POOR PLANNING ON BOB EVAN'S PART. Very disappointing experience. read more

Never again. Went there for breakfast Jan. 29th 2019 at about 9:45 AM. The waitress brought coffee and we ordered at about 9:50, at 10:30 I started wondering what is taking so long. There were not busy and 3 waitresses, but only ours was doing anything far as I could tell. When our order finally got there I noticed stale toast, limp bacon (I had asked for extra crispy) cold eggs over easy. I've eaten at various Bob Evans and this was the worst. read more

I gave this place 2 tries just to make sure I didn't just come on a bad night. The original Bob Evans I frequented on I-70 and S. Hamilton Road closed, so for a breakfast food fix I had to head further south into Groveport. The first time I came it was New Year's Day and they were hopping. I had about a 10 minute wait with a hungry toddler. Which other parents know feels like an eternity. As we were taken back to be seated I saw a whole row of 2 seater tables that were empty. Why not seat us there? Atleast they brought corn muffins and banana bread so my kid totally didn't flip the hell out. The second time we came it was a Wednesday night. First we were told we were going to be seated. Then there seemed to be some kind of confusion and we were told a 5-10 min wait. Then every 2 mins the front of house woman kept assuring me that we were going to be seated in a minute. We were seated and again I noticed plenty of open seating. I get that you don't want to overload a server's zone unnecessarily but come on. We ordered our drinks and ordered food quite shortly after that. It took half an hour for our food to come. I had 2 pancakes and turkey sausage and my son had pancakes. 30 Mins is way too long to wait, especially when the restaurant wasn't packed. Then only comment the server made was that she was sorry and that "I don' t know what's wrong, the kitchen is having a bad night". Its a shame I will have to travel to Pickerington's Cracker Barrel for my breakfast fix. read more

Ok. So let's start with hair on bacon that took a manager coming over to get it taken away. Well plus she had to examine it for ten minutes. I finally just told them I had already taken a bite before we found the hair and found it was cold and gross. Yes that is right it's intentionally served cold. Servers are never attentive and often rushed and never informed about the menu. My memory fails me about once a year and I stubble in here again. Never again. Never read more

Disappointed. Ordered take out, and all four biscuits were rock hard. Must have been sitting around all afternoon. Also, we were shorted on our pieces of mush according to the write up in the menu. And the mush was very oily. At least the gravy tasted good with bread. Won't order breakfast take out again, that's for sure. Not what I expected. Wanted nice fluffy biscuits... but once you are home, what can you do? Again, disappointed. read more

Girl doing pickup orders was not friendly. As soon as I walked in door she said "last name?" What ever happened to "hello welcome to Bob Evans, how can I help you!" Or something else a little more friendly! Girl also started the checkout process at same time she wanted to review order with me. Seemed annoyed with me when I was adding tip and paying attention to when the card needed to come out of reader instead of her. She seemed to be hurrying me. Shouldn't have left a tip! read more

I have stopped eating in at this location , except for takeout. Not sure what was going on; long waits, cold food etc. This week I had to order food for a Board Meeting for 13 and I encountered Nate. His service, advice and professionalism was awesome. The food was packed perfect and he even loaded a treat. Maybe this location is on the way back to the level of service it used to give. read more

Very strange that the cumulative reviews spanning at least four years haven't prompted any change in the service here. Our waitress did not seem disinterested or rude, just frenzied. True to every review here, it took a while to be noticed, a while to get our drinks, and a way above-average time to get our food. Stopped in with a full hour to spend, and ended up standing up and waiting in line to check-out without a check in hand because I had somewhere to be. Again, I don't blame the waitress. Really. The fact that this has evidently been the case for years (see the other reviews) means this is systematic. Very strange for a location near headquarters. read more

Breakfast this morning: 2 biscuits (more than $1 each), 3 link sausages (more than $1 each), coffee. Total bill incl. tax = $8.46. With tip = $9.71. Thanks but no thanks...last time I'll be eating at Bob Evans. Tom C. read more

Ok i have loved Bob Evans since I was a kid. So i was excited to go to one in town on a visit for breakfast. So i walk in and the black lady from the counter asks me what do I want? Umm excuse me woman? What do i want? I told her I wanted a table and had half a mind to cuss her out. But i was hungry and had my heart set. So i stood around while they cleaned off a table. Yay. Anyways i had to wait for the assistant manager to come and sit me down and then that nasty black lady gave me my menu. The waiter came and took my order and brought me a drink. The food was good and I was done fast. Look these people Need to learn what customer service is and that black lady should be fired. She is incompetent and rude read more

When I arrived, the table they sat us at was dirty and the waiter just wiped it of with her hand. It was 1 pm on a weekday and there were probably about 5 sets of people there and it took us over 40 minutes to get our food. We asked if they could box it to go because it had been too long and we see the food just sitting waiting to be served to us. I don't know how long it was sitting in the kitchen but the overall service was subpar to say the least. read more

I've been here a number of times, and the best way to describe it is as the black hole of Bob Evans'. You go in and are there forever, even if it's not busy. The wait staff is also hit or miss, sometimes they are nice, sometimes they aren't really interested in doing their jobs. read more

I called to order my typical order from Bob Evans. I usually go to the one in New Albany, OH, but today I was ordering from Groveport, OH. I get the Farmers Choice and I always substitute meat for a side of hashbrowns because I am a veterinarian. I get this order every single time (about 20-30 times) and 2 days ago I got this exact order, no problem like always because its a pretty easy request...... This Groveport Bob Evans worker refused to substitute the meat for me. I told her that I always get this order and I got it 2 days ago. She informed me that corporate has been working on changing their policy and no longer wants the stores to allow the substitution of meat for hashbrowns. Well yeah, I simply didn't order anything at that point. I didn't want meat, but I was still going to pay for it if I ordered. If this really is a corporate change, then the employee did nothing wrong, but it still sucks that after all the business I bring, you all can not sub meat for hashbrowns. read more

Went here many, many times when I lived in Canal Winchester, and liked it a lot. Also, recently joined a few friends here for a little birthday brunch for myself. We had excellent service, and the food was great, as usual. This is a must-stop place for the area. Coffee within seconds for coffee drinkers. Eggs to order. This is the place. read more

Bob Evans isn't 5 star dining but we came here as we could walk from the hotel and it was great. No complaints. Food was good and service too. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday and had a pleasant experience. I sat at the counter and was immediately asked what I was drinking. I knew what I wanted to eat and ordered that as soon as the waitress came back. Food came out quickly and well prepared. The manager was friendly and came by to check if everything was going well. She appeared to be helping her servers and everyone seemed to be working as a team. If you go for a quick lunch the counter is the way to go. read more

I just pulled into the parking lot. It does not look good to have several employees standing in front of the restaurant, smoking cigarettes.

I came here looking for a good meal but only got disappointment. The waitress took over 5 minutes to get our drinks. I had to ask twice for cream and a coffee pot. The coffee was not hot. The food came out in a timely manner and was pretty good but; would have been better if we received our full order and silverware. By the time we received napkins and silverware the food was barely warm. There was a young man named Matt, he was a section over who was a great server and was very nice. I really wish he was my server. read more

First I waited 5 minutes before being acknowledged to be seated. There was a guy ahead of me and there's no telling how long he had been waiting. Then I had to wait until they cleaned off some tables before being seated, but the restaurant was not crowded. I waited another 4 minutes before anyone came to the table. The lady (Janice), cleaning off the tables asked if I had been helped, "not yet" was my reply. She got my drink and took my order. That's when the my waitress walked by and said, "I was gonna get him". When my food was ready, guess who brings my food to the table....Yep, Janice. As I am eating, I notice Janice sit a tray full of dirty dishes on a table she was cleaning, go to seat two guests, and throw the cleaning rag past two tables, one being mine, in a failed attempt to land it on the table, but it falls on the floor. Once the guests are seated, she picks the rag off the floor and continues to wipe the table and seats with it. My "waitress" sees that I am finished eating, ask if I want a refill and puts the check on the table all while still walking past me without actually stopping. I told her, no, and then left. Bad breakfast experience for me. Maybe the new company that bought them out will make a few positive changes. You've got to do better, Bob Evans. read more

Absolute worst experience ever. Waited 15 minutes before anyone noticed we were sitting in their section. I had received no less than 6 emails in the past week of the Thanksgiving special from 8 am to 8 pm. At first the waitress was oblivious to the special. Upon her return she announced that at 1:30 pm they no longer have any turkey or ham. Not even half way through the advertised time and out of the main entre for why we came. I wanted to leave, but! My better half said let's get a breakfast. Should have left! I ordered the Spanish omelette with the loaded home fries and blueberry crepes. While my better half ordered the sunrise with biscuits and loaded home fries. We each also ordered coffee and ice water. The home fries appeared to be stale and extremely crunchy. The crepes were supposed to have a dollop of cream on top. No dollop to be found. We sat almost an additional 15 minutes waiting for our waitress to check on us or to warm up our coffee. Nope didn't happen. In fact as we were getting up is the only time a waitress came back. And that was to give me the bill!! Oh, and the biscuits never came either! Then I was so angry at the service that I neglected to review the bill. How does 2 coffees, 5.69 crepes, 8.99 Spanish omelette, 7.99 sunrise and 2 home fries loaded come to be 32.87??? read more

I ordered biscuits and gravy to go. The gravy was the worst I've ever tasted. Couldn't eat it. The biscuits were just ok.

Food is always good, service isn't. Our waitress, along with other people working the counter were always standing around, chatting VERY loud. If I go to a restaurant, I'd like to be able to talk to the person sitting across from me without being interrupted by chattering going on with the workers. Our waitress never really stayed at the table long enough for us to ask her for anything- she seemed like she wanted us to hurry up and get out (the place was not busy at all, she was only working one other table). I gave it three stars because the food was really good (always is). read more

By far the worst Bob Evans I have ever been to. My husband and I live very close to this location and we decided that we would try it for dinner one night. The service was horrible! There might have been 10 customers in the whole place and you would have thought there was a full restaurant. The service was super slow and my husbands food came out wrong. Almost every table in our section hadn't been bused. On a different visit my mom was in town and we wanted to do a quick breakfast...we decided on this Bob Evans again...wanted to give it a second chance. Once again our service was horrible. We decided to go another time... Thinking that the third time would be a charm... And as expected the service was horrible again. Our server brought out half of my husbands meal 20 minutes before the rest of the meal. The food sat there and got cold which forced her to bring it out fresh again. She wasn't friendly and we could tell that she didn't care about customer service at all. Needless to say I honestly doubt that we will ever eat here again! I gave it a 1 star because 0 wasn't an option. read more
