On the way to Hendersonville, we stopped at the Bob Evans in Hickory. The food, prices and service were great. My Sister Pea and I ordered a Dinner Bell Special for only $8.99 each. These are slightly smaller portions but still ample. You also get a choice of roll, Texas toast or banana bread. Yes, banana bread! My Bubba Bean ordered the Honey Butter Chicken and Biscuit. Everything was delicious. I also bought a T-shirt that said Body By Bacon. It's a real shame our Greensboro location closed. read more

My wife caught her foot on a wire stand near the front door and fell on her face on the floor. All of the patrons around us came to our aid as I lifted her from the floor. Her lip was cut and bleeding . Several guests gave up their seats on the bench so we could sit while I attended to her. A kind lady got her some ice to put on the cut and napkins to help catch the bleeding. However no one from the store helped at all. The manager would not even speak to us and avoided us completely. Her name is Ashley Netherly. I only know that because her business cards were at the check out. On top of all of this, the food was overcooked, and bad. read more

Two things Worst was men's bathroom. Used paper towels on floor. Urinal had a paper towel in it. Appears as though management care very little about cleanliness or appearance. Restaurants should be spotless or else customers think the food is bad too. Food was acceptable. Female checkout woman was gross in appearance. She had a tattoo on her right facial cheek. Will not come back. read more

Everyone enjoyed their favorite dishes--such a delightful mix of flavors! The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. read more

We had poor service and cold food. We arrived at 11:30am and they were not very busy. We had to wait for them to clear a table for 4 adults and 1 child. It took about 10 minutes to get our drinks and then got to order. We all ordered from the lunch menu. It took 45 minutes to get our food and we had to go and ask to get refills on our coffee and tea. The food appeared to have been sitting under the warmer for a while. My soup was just slightly still warm and my pickles with my sandwich were hot. The other meals came out in similar fashion. Then waiting to pay, the cashier took one of our checks and then walked away before allowing me to pay my bill. I was very disappointed with my lunch outing with my daughter and grandchildren. I would not recommend this Bob Evans read more

We enjoyed Mother's Day brunch at Bob Evans. It was not too long of a wait and we had a very nice waitress. The food was good and hot, we did have a long while to wait but it was Mother's Day and very busy. Everyone seemed to be working hard yo get food out and keeping customers happy: read more

I was surprised how good it is. Hickory needs more diners. The biscuits are so good. The chicken fried steak is thin and so flavorful. The scrambled eggs are good. The grits are so delicious. They have fresh squeezed OJ. No refills. They have apple juice mixed with pomegranates. The honey chicken is very tasty. It has a nice farm village feel to it. You can buy their banana bread. read more

The service is subpar. Don't think about ordering takeout. We waited an hour and a half for our order. We order ahead for a reason. The waitstaff is not attentive and the food is greasy and the fruit came out soggy. Absolutely do not reccommend. read more

My husband and I went here for our lunch "Day Date" for the first time ever on Friday 5/10/24. We wanted to try it out since we have lived here in Hickory for 11 years and hadn't. I had the Pot Roast and my husband had the Country Fried Steak. We both agreed that the mashed potatoes were excellent, however there was barely any on our plates at all. My Pot Roast had gel-like fat all in it that was so disgusting that I just stopped trying to eat it. It was bland tasting and the carrots were half cooked and bland as well. My husband said that his Country Fried Steak was also bland and had a weird texture when chewing it. I am a vlogger with a YouTube Channel and was videoing our date for my vlog and showed our meals. *I included a clip from my vlog here. Search YouTube ROSWELLNFLORIDA . read more

Told the wait was 20 minutes ended up over 35 minutes. That's understandable but they had plenty of open tables and staff standing around The food came out warm to cold. If I ran my business like this I wouldn't have one read more

Cobb salad was just ok. Would not get again. Country fried steak platter was good but not great. Service was slow but it looked short staffed. read more

Great breakfast! Comfortable setting. Great deserts. Looking forward to trying lunch or dinner.

The food was the worst! Served cold and salty. Service was fine and the restaurant was clean and seemed in good order. But the food left everything to be desired! Even reheating didn't help. We don't have a Bob Evans near us so we always stop in when we can. First time we've ever been disappointed and boy were we disappointed! read more

This used to be a good restaurant but the service has gotten lousy and management poor.

If I could give no stars I would, horrible service and no one had any sense of urgency to do their job. Waited 15 minutes just to get drinks and make no mistake the restaurant wasn't busy. We watched one man wait 17 minutes to get his check to pay. All the staff were women who would rather stand around and talk rather than bus tables and attend to customers. I watched one worker take over 45 minutes to clear a table of its mess. She took four plates away from it then only decided to actually clear it once our waitress started cleaning it off. Even then the busser wanted to talk to the waitress more than do her job. Who ever manages this restaurant should be fired because they do not know how to manage their staff and the staff would rather sit around and look busy than actually work. read more

Can't say enough about the crew at your Hickory, NC Restaurant! We went there for our family Thanksgiving Meal this year and couldn't be more pleased! The food was fantastic and the staff was incredible. It was around 6 PM when we arrived and they had been super busy, but they gave the BEST customer service. They made our 2022 Thanksgiving! Hats off! Super job! By the way, we live in the piedmont of North Carolina, not California! read more

Poorly managed. Manager delayed food service to table near us for 7 minutes (I timed food in the service window) as she apparently chastised a server in public. Always a long customer standing wait for a seat although we've never seen the place crowded and we're always see numerous empty tables. read more

Omg... The worst breakfast ever. There were 4 of us... Took an hour to get food (we understand shot staffed) but didn't mind the wait. But the food (all 4 meals) was cold, low quality and stale. We would have been better off going to McDonald's! Avoid at all costs. read more

Advertising fresh eggs then use liquid, I ain't no dummy! Only took off $2 because I ate one bite of meat...BS

Absolutely was not impressed in any way shape form or fashion. I got country fried steak and eggs with country potatoes my potatoes weren't crispy although they were very very dark so I don't understand how they weren't crispy my country fried steak was gristle I took one bite of it and left it on my plate the waitress did replace it with pot roast the pot roast had a funky taste to me. We got an appetizer of the maple pepper bacon the maple was only on the middle part of the bacon was not evenly distributed at all. Our waitress was non-existent we had a flag a waitress down. Asked for a to go box sat there for another 10 minutes waiting for the Box we asked for the Box because we wanted to leave then. The table beside us who left when we came in was not bust until we left even though someone had came over and left a rag on the table. It's not even like the place was busy at all I could only imagine how service is if they were busy. Only thing I am happy about is that they did not charge me for the replacement meat for my gross grizzly chicken fried steak. Absolutely I'm not complaining just to complain I have written other posts when I do get good service this was just exceptionally lacking after I'd heard such good reviews from my peer group about this place. read more

Stopped for breakfast while traveling. Only a few patrons. Waited for coffee and longer for order. Waitress said she'd refill coffee when order came but that never happened. Food was subpar. Never got syrup for pancakes. Fruit was sparse and had a rotten grape on top. Had to leave in about 45 min so asked for to go boxes; again, never got. Was just a disappointment! read more

Food was good, I like sweet tea but this was a touch to sweet. 1 3/4 to 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea is what has been standard for good tea. The wait is what it is. Everyone is short handed, I just want to know what happened to the people everyone had before the pandemic that they can't find anyone wanting to work now. read more

There's a reason for the low rating on yelp. Covid has effected a variety of aspects in the restaurant world but it is clearly evident here. The food took over 50 minutes to be brought out after ordering. Potentially picked the wrong day to come but it's frustrating at the very least. 2 stars because the food was warm and one of the orders was wrong. read more

Food was good! Service was terrible! Waitress wasn't very good or friendly! Restaurant wasn't busy but drinks left empty and food items missing from meals! Doubtful we will return. read more

Everytime I eat at this Bob Evans I'm reminded of. Why I dont eat at Bob Evans. We go long periods of time and then give it another chance. Food quality is always shaky and takes forever to get the food. I don't know how Bob Evans competes in the world serving room temp food or improperly cooked food. What a deception.. read more

My family has always loved Bob Evans. This particular store is awful. The hosts stand back in the far corner of the restaurant with their backs to the register and the waiting customers. When they do walk over they are rude, won't make eye contact and annoyed. It's such a shame. read more

Thanksgiving meals to go were excellent on time as promised, terrific staff, very professional & courteous... Stefanie coordinated our meals And repressed bob Eva's very well .. much appreciated read more

The waitress was very friendly and attentive to the needs of our party. All members of our party enjoyed their food. The banana bread and lemonade bread are delicious. The gravy and biscuits are good. The crepe was good. The meats were also delicious. Though our waitress did a fantastic job, she mixed up a small portion of my order and forgot a portion of another party members order. However, the waitress did a great job overcoming a couple of small mistakes and provided excellent service. read more

So we just enjoyed a meal at Bob Evans and the food was as always hot and fresh. Our waitress Alexia couldn't have been more accommodating, she was lovely and made every effort to please . HUGE bone to pick with Bob Evans and it may be a deal breaker. Alexia informed us they will no longer be serving French dressing. WHAT!?!?! That's the main draw as far as untold thousands of folks across America if not the entire planet!!!!! I'd eat that sweet nectar on an old shoe and consider it haute cuisine. Whom ever decided to drop it from the offerings, please reconsider or I'm afraid we're probably gonna have to part ways. In summary- Food good , Alexia wonderful, no French dressing beyond bad !!!!! read more

We got seated right away. The food and service was very good. We did not feel rushed got to sit for a few minutes to talk with friends. Will go back. read more

Great food, but need people who speak English to take to go orders. I have been very patient in the past when the manager ended up on the line to take my order. Tonight I just gave up and just went to 5 Guys. read more

Stephanie gave very friendly and fast service. The steak holidase for breakfast was delicious! Thank you Bob Evans read more

Not sure what others have had issues here about. Our own experience was good. The food was Bob Evans quality and the staff was friendly. The ladies restroom needed attention but other than that was a good breakfast! read more

Every time my husband and I, come for breakfast it's AMAZING!!! We always get the fried steak and he get the sirloin. Never a time have we've been disappointed. Today we had an amazing server named Kristen! Now I, myself am a server at an upscale Italian restaurant in Charlotte NC. I was so upset due to the fact that our amazing server was being reprimanded in from of customers from some one that called herself " The organizer" for talking to customers! Well In our business of serving the public, talking and engaging in conversation with customers is what's going to drive your sales up. Might I add increase the tip size as well. I give Bob Evans 5 stars and our server Kristen 5 stars! We will always be returning, but I hope I never see that happen again. Btw the General Manager was there today, really nice gentleman and he also checked us out, he also engaged in Conversation with me about my shirt!!! So "The organizer" should take a page from his book. read more

I got the the classic breakfast with hash browns I requested my hash browns to be crispy the went against me twice and gave me raw hash browns it looked as if they just came out of the packaging the eggs were not done the tea was unsweetened disregarding and arrogant people that didn't listen to the simple thing I asked for even after I was kind to ask again they still went against me my whole family said there food was nasty and my grandparents came to the same place and had a awful experience there waitress was rude and disrespectful also there food was raw read more

Drinks tasted funny. Was out of a certain bread so had to reorder our foods. When they did bring us our order the food was COLD!!!!!

Hickory Bob Evans has some of the best breakfast around! I've been to several different locations and hickory is the best !

Always great food and service. Best bacon around, eggs done any way and for a special treat, try the fried mush! Much better than it sounds - delicious! read more

Lunch today was way below average. My smokehouse bacon cheeseburger was nasty. The patty tasted like it was microwaved. Our server never returned after dropping off our food so i had to flag down one of the multiple managers that where standing around joking and cutting up with the staff instead of waiting on the customers. Truly a bad experience. read more

Horrible food! The only good thing was our waitress Nicole who was very attentive to our group and went above and beyond to serve us.
