    The cold Cheesy Potato Soup. Bacon bits are added if you want them.
    Sandra D.

    We were seated at a table that had been cleaned but had water all over it. I asked the hostess with the shoulder length purple hair to bring a napkin so I could wipe it up. She never brought it so we asked to be moved to a booth. We both ordered the $7.99 country-fried steak dinners with the soup and dessert added. Both the potato soup and chicken noodles soup was cold. Server did not come back until entree was delivered. The entrees were mediocre at best. There must be a gravy shortage. The green beans were good. The mashed potatoes not so good. The hostess took forever to cash us out. The peanut butter pie was good. Chocolate cake is in a to go box.

    Bob Evans has been a family staple since I was a kid. It was always a treat and something I look forward to each time I visit. However this place is not what I remember except for one thing but I will get to that in a minute. The restaurant was about 3/4 full when we arrived. We waited to be seated because I figured they must have had a mass exodus because all of the tables in one section were dirty. They "cleaned" the table but it was still really sticky when we were seated. We then sat for over 10 minutes, watched a server clean a table, seat that table, bring their drinks, and take their order. When she passed we asked her to find our server. She said that he was normally the griddle cook so he probably got confused that he had our table. He came, took our drink order, was super apologetic-didn't know it was his table, and quickly got our drinks. They now make, with their new coffee blend, one of best cups of decaf I have ever had! He took our order and still the tables around us sat dirty. No one took plates as they passed by, no one did anything until another group came in and they had to clean a table. Our food came, but not all of it. And we had no silverware. The server finally came back to check and we asked for silverware and missing food items and thankfully he brought the silverware before the missing food items because they took a while. I had ordered the Rise and Shine and it was well cooked although the hash brown portion was super small. Normally you get a nice helping of hash browns because they fill up the plate and they are cheap. I had the biscuits which amazingly are just like I remember and they are delicious fluffy pillows of butter that are an indulgence you must not miss. My husband's bacon was over cooked on one end and underdone on the other to the point that it was inedible. It kind of looked like they forgot to put it on so they held it in the fryer to cook it, hence the totally raw ends. His hash browns were still frozen in the middle and were basically just raw potato as in just hash, no brown. I hope this is a fluke and that it hasn't come to this for Bob Evans.

    Inside of chicken breast

    We are traveling and decided to stop for dinner at this Bob Evans. We waited for about 3 minutes for someone to even approach us, as the staff were busy talking to each other. The wait staff was very unprofessional, making snide comments to each other. They were out of pot roast and turkey (seems odd when those are the two big menu items) so we ordered chicken. The chicken was good, however when we were cutting into it, noticed the inside was raw. The waitress did not come back to check on us at all, until it was time to bring the bill. When I told her that the chicken was raw, she alerted the manager. He did not comp our bill, but gave us a discount on our food, he didn't even come to talk to us which I felt was wrong. We will never eat at Bob Evans again....

We are not big fans of fast food and love getting to see towns off the routine road with their warts, charms, and peculiarities. Also, we almost always find great places to stop and eat that I'm sad more people won't venture off the highway a bit to enjoy. Happenings was this kind of place. Simple decor, it was all about the food, and clearly, the locals know they have a gem. And then there is Jeff, the owner! Jeff takes great pride in his food and his staff. He doesn't just greet customers, he engages and entertains them. Within minutes, we felt we were talking to an old friend we just hadn't seen in a while. Jeff takes great pride in his food and challenges you to prove him wrong. He was open to changes, too, and then, as we finished, came out to see if it lived up to his bragging, and it did! Honestly, this is the kind of place we wish were closer so we could become regulars, and Jeff was the kind of business owner you want to get to know and become friends with. We will go out of our way to stop in Happenings again. Sadly, we only pass this way 4-5 times a year. But that's ok, Jeff will make us feel like we never left.

We would always go to Ivy's and pick out our Christmas ornaments to take back with us. Well, 2024. We were your visiting to see the lighting of the Christmas tree and it was so magical it was snowing carolers singing, and we were hungry, and this girl loves her pasta, so my mother-in-law said there's a really adorable Italian restaurant. Let's go see if we can get a table, so we walked from Ivy's down to this adorable Italian Restaurant and before I even walked in, I knew I wanted to eat there. My husband opened the door and we were greeted with such a smile and hospitality. The seating area was packed. Little kids were playing. The joy of Christmas was in the air and we love Christmas That's why we would always come to Ohio around Christmas time. We have never experienced Christmas like we do in Ohio. We are a family that goes above and beyond during Christmas we even do Christmas in July lol, it's like being in a Christmas hallmark movie when we're here in Ohio we never have experienced living in 4 seasons. We have always grew up with sunshine and flip-flops lol, wearing rain-boots and scarfs and beanies were more of a fashion statement lol. My husband and myself always said once our four kiddos were grown and married and out of the house we would move to Wellston, Ohio, So that we did, September 2026, and that year was the heaviest snow Wellston has seen in years. My husband took me on a date ‍‍and of course we had lunch at your adorable restaurant. You guys had just opened for lunch and we walked in and got seated. There was only 1 other couple in the restaurant and this sweet young girl and the cook welcomed us as if we ‍‍were regulars lol we had the most wonderful ambience and company. We sat at the booth next to the bar and had the most wonderful lunch date‍‍ We shared with them how we had just moved her from California and we were so excited to hear all about Ohio. Not one time while we were there did anyone else come in to eat, It was like it was created for just us to be there as if my husband reserved the whole restaurant just for me lol we believe God has his perfect timing, and right when we were getting ready to leave is when people started coming in to eat lunch, that young girl and guy working there made us feel like home So, that adorable restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts We will always have dinner as long as we can get a table the evening of the lighting of the Christmas tree, we can't wait to bring our kids and grandchildren and our families and friends. It will be our signature place. So fast forward, my aunt is doing a women's conference in Chillicothe this evening 6/5/26 and it's rare when we can get a group of us ladies together and fellowship and have dinner, so I made reservations for 11 of some very special ladies, that God has brought into my life since I've been living here, and all of these ladies besides me and my mother-in-law have never been to your restaurant. So I am so excited to bring them to our signature spot. With that being said, I will always have a vision and hear those cute little kids playing in the seating area the 1st night we walked in to eat there. It's the little things that matter that make it so very special and the little kiddos definitely make the ambience of Christmas when we were waiting to be seated that night and the little kiddo's were so excited to see Santa and we're singing Christmas carols as we were all waiting to get seated, I never have cared how long I would wait for a table because the ambience was so amazing as busy and packed as the restaurant was, our waitress made us feel as if we were the only ones in the restaurant, My husband and myself ‍‍ are so excited to continue to make memories there and to top it off. The food is absolutely amazing and my husband is a pizza critic, and this girl knows her Italian food So with all that being said, I want to say thank you for the joy that we get walking in your door I am so excited to get ready for my girls night and eat dinner at our favorite restaurant. Love and Blessings, Jeremy and Julie Rider

Despite living 30 minutes away we had yet to give this place a try. Located on Paint Street near Yoktangee Park, parking can be an issue. During the day it's metered - after 5 no charge but still rather limited spots for the number of stores in the area. We found one across the street. We got there about 30 minutes before closing but service was courteous and we were seated and had our food within 20 minutes. We weren't the only late arrivals. Another couple came in behind us. We felt bad about being there after closing but many tables still had people eating when we left. We asked for the pizza they are known for and got a 16" NY style cheese pizza brought to us in minutes. Super hot! Overall, we were underwhelmed with the pizza. Sauce was good and not acidic. Pizza could have used more cheese. It seemed like the sauce to cheese ratio favored sauce. The star was the crust. Nice and crunchy. Edge was cooked nicely but I would have liked it to have give a little longer so the middle had more structure. Next time we'd definitely order it topped. They use cupped pepperoni so my husband was happy. I generally eat cheese pizza but even I said it could benefit from a topping or at least more cheese. I'd give the place 7/10 but we're willing to try other things on the menu to see if the cheese pizza just wasn't for us.
