It's been at least 5 or 6 years since I last dined at a Bob Evans and over 9 years since I ate there on any kind of a regular basis. In fact, the Bob's I used to patronize has since been bulldozed and replaced with something else. Today, we were traveling between Louisville and Columbus and wanted something better than fast food. There aren't many sit down restaurants along this stretch of I-71 so when we spotted a Bob Evans, we decided to give it a try. We were very happy that we decided to try Bob's again. I had their "Legendary Turkey Sandwich". I upgraded from fries to onion rings. The sandwich was really good and had a really generous portion of turkey along with lettuce, tomato and bacon. The onion rings were excellent. My wife had the turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, dressing and gravy. This was her go to favorite years ago and she said it was as good as she remembered. Service was really good. I think we will be dining at Bob's again in the near future. read more

Stopped in for take out and it was tasty. I had a 3-egg omelet with spinach and cheddar cheese. I like that you can get this a la carte without toast and homefries. We also had an order of scrambled eggs and sausage links for Little Mister. He was not a fan of the scrambled eggs but devoured the sausage links. Coffee was hot and smooth. Fast, friendly service and we were back on the road quickly. read more

I used to love Bob Evans back in the day before everything now tastes like it was frozen and reheated. Maybe they got too big for their own good? Now I dread coming here, but there aren't a lot of choices of places to eat when you come to Jeffersonville. I was excited to try the turkey dinner, and while it looked good on the menu and when it arrived, looks can be deceiving. The turkey and sides tasted like the quality of a frozen meal turkey dinner, both in texture and taste. Oh Bob's, what happened to you over the years?! read more

Still good. I had to have it before leaving town. It was delicious, just like it was back in the day. I shall be back!!

The restaurant and restrooms are absolutely filthy. The food was overdone. Our glass of soda came out with white chunky stuff stuck on the inside. The wildfire chicken salad was dripping with wildfire sauce. Couldn't even taste the ingredients. Service is extremely slow. The only positive was our waitress was very nice! read more

#45/2024 Well the last time I reviewed this was covid. Over 4 years ago It's been through a few changes I've been here a couple of times but I haven't gotten around to another review. Last time I was here I think of at least over a year and a half ago. But one thing that's not changing is my star rating for me I'd gotten there right at opening time I was the first one there. They opened up the door I sat down she said give me a few minutes I'm still getting everything ready I got a cup of coffee looked at the menu. They have some newer choices some nice stuff But it was breakfast time and I went with the double Farmer's breakfast. That basically gives you extra meat. This particular day the cook was also the manager and a whole lot more. I asked for the eggs to be soft scrambled, I also wanted the pancakes on a separate plate butter on the side. Food came out fairly quickly Quality was great Very nice sized pancakes this manager Cooks up you get your money's worth. Thoughts of the hash browns were very tasty and the sausage links and bacon were very good too I haven't been here for quite a while but I definitely if I'm hungry and I'm in the area I will stop in again park the truck and come over to eat. They still have their classic little country items there for sale candles with unique scents. Bathroom was very clean. For being just a little short help for the first hour and a half though they got everything done and took care of everything very well. Keep up the good work read more

Stopped on way to Renaissance Festival. Good food there, but lunch lines are long. Not busy here at 11 on a Saturday. Service friendly, a little slow- surely short staffed. Baby K got kid's french toast and bacon. Good, nothing amazing. They do have games and crayons on the kid's menu. I got the rancher beef dinner. I love BBQ, and did not like "BobBQ" a few years ago. They dropped that, and I was leery of this new offering. But I had to try it, of course, and it wasn't bad. Not great, but not bad. Tender beef, some flavor actually in the meat, and not completely drowned in sauce. But not good enough to have again. Portion seemed small for $13, but that's inflation nowadays. Meat comes on baby potatoes (I had assumed tots,) with cheese and green onions, and a couple of onion rings. Enough to get me down the road, but kinda small. Comes with rolls or biscuits; I got the rolls and they were fine. Bob's has gone downhill the last decade or two. This was better than I expected, but nothing special. read more

A prime example why chain restaurants are going out of business. This needs to go the way of TGIF Fridays. Have not eaten at Bob Evans in a while, but I remember it being a lot better than it was. The food tasted like it came out of their frozen section and just microwaved. The salad was just a dollar bag of iceberg with the thin couple carrots. The service was salty, but diligent. My wife, child and I agreed this is the last time we will ever eat here and spend our money at Bob Evans. read more

On route to Cincinnati from Cleveland we stopped at Bob Evans in Jeffersonville for some breakfast. This Bob Evans is very spacious. It's very clean and appears pretty new. We quickly got seated. The menu was huge and had a lot to choose from. I got an omelette with American cheese, mushrooms, tomato and avocado. The avocado had an upcharge of $1.50. This also came with choice of bread, I got the banana bread and fruit. I also got their sweet creme iced coffee. First the fruit arrived. It was two slices of cantaloupe and about a handful of grapes. The cantaloupe was very hard and not very sweet, the grapes were ok, some were moldy. The omelette was pretty good and on the smaller side, but the amount of guacamole was laughable. It was the tiniest scoop of guacamole. I got banana bread, this was like eating paper. There wasn't any taste of banana at all, or really any taste to it. The iced coffee was very tasty and it came in a mason jar. When I was almost done the waitress replaced it with a fresh jar of coffee. I was a bit confused, since I didn't ask for it, she said "it's free". Ok, as much as I enjoy coffee, I'm not going to chug a glass after glass. My friend got pancakes and sausages. These were ok. Overall, Bob Evans was just ok. There are a few things that are easy fixes, that could have earned them an extra star. I will probably not be stopping by here again. read more

There was no line, but for 10 minutes we stood at the hostess podium and were not acknowledged. The hostess seemed to be going over multiple checks with a single guest. The server looked at us several times, but also didn't acknowledge us. We left. read more

This is how I imagined a recent Bob Evans corp meeting went. " Hey we gotta drive profit and reduce costs, soooooo let's make our chicken noodle soups with 90% thick ass noods. Then reduce meat servings , especially the pricey ones like steak." My steak tips dinner LITERALLY had 6 tips total. Toss in watered down gravy and there you have my $20 dinner. I don't blame the nice staff at the restaurant but the pics say it all. Based on several of the reviews before mine, I don't feel this was an outlier serving event. Best way to keep people from returning is to make them feel ripped-off. Well, if the above was truly their goal they succeeded. I'll never go back after this Cashectomy ( surgical removal of cash from my wallet cavity) read more

Went to Bob Evans for the first time and the bldg and atmosphere seemed very nice. The menu had all sorts of what appeared to be delicious options with great pictures. The waitress we had was loud and short with us. She would walk by and drop menus off while still walking away without pausing or stopping. When she delivered food it would hit the table hard and startle us. After we received our food she never returned to check on us. Overall it was very poor service. There was an older waitress with an arm brace on that we observed serving other tables and she was clearly a great waitress and we wished she was ours. The food was bland and came out looking nothing like the pics in the menu. Specifically I ordered the special blue ribbon basket of bacon. This was supposed to be thick cut bacon. I received paper thin floppy bacon that was sitting in an inch thick pool of juice. I have no idea what it was but it looked nothing like the pic. No more Bob Evans for me. read more

Well, let's just say we went and left. The 1 star is for the bathrooms being clean. The hostess was nice but we then we waited a really long time for someone to come and even acknowledge us. We waited and waited and waited....The manager even made eye contact with me as I tried to wave her down but she ignored me. So we decided to leave and she watched us leave as she was setting up another table and didn't even acknowledge us as we left. I don't leave negative reviews only positive ones but felt the need this time because the manager's attitude was the icing on the cake! So sad. read more

We had a good experience here. Our server was friendly and attentive. We didn't wait for refills and out food came out quickly. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday night which was pleasant. It was an easy, quick sit down dinner and we were finished in about 40 minutes. I've been to this Bob Evans before when driving through on 71 and will stop there again. read more

I saved my 500th Yelp review for... **drum roll plz**: The Bob EVANS by the outlet mall! In COVID times they do an OK job of enforcing masks, but the seating situation is terrible. It's still a bunch of people huddled into the lobby and breezeway with no text message alerts. I got my rise n' shine and split, but I really wish I could have sat peacefully in my car without wondering if my name had been called yet. Technology coming in 2021! read more

Don't waste your time. Always slow. My wife called in the order and I arrive and nothing. They gave my order to someone else. All she could say was safe travels. Won't ever be back. read more

Checked in with the hostess who said she'd be with us as soon as she could. Waited 20 minutes before leaving and going to Waffle House across the street. I understand staffing issues, but there were 3 women working this side of the kitchen window, and only 3 tables with customers. Lazy bitches! Waffle House rocked our breakfast! read more

The worst breakfast ever. My husband ordered the complete breakfast, I ordered pancakes and sausage, the pancakes come to the table half raw and black stuff from the grill that they forgot to clean off properly. Then they made us another batch of pancakes came back very quickly they were clean looking but again raw inside. When leaving to pay the bill they had taken off only 10% plus a little bit, (big deal) this was not acceptable they still wanted to charge us for pancakes we could not eat. We were willing to pay for our coffee and the sausages we ate. They finally agreed that we did not have to pay for anything at all. We will never never never return there or eat at another Bob Evans. So very disappointed. They don't even deserve one star. read more

Arrived between 2 & 2:30 on Sunday afternoon. Waiting area was full, even though parking lot was not. We were told there would be a wait but they couldn't determine how long. Empty tables all around dining room. Decided not to play the waiting game since they seemed to be lacking either wait staff or kitchen or both. read more

I would Give this a negative star if I could. I've been there twice in the last two months. The first time the hostess looked at us and promptly ignored us while she carried on a 10-minute conversation, so we left to go to waffle house. We decided to give it another try a few weeks later when we waited for more than 45 minutes to get part of our order. without an explanation or update at any time. I understand that the kitchen can be backed up and try to be patient. but our server never communicated anything, and another waitress ended up refilling my drink. by the way the order was eggs and gravy and a salad not a complicated order. read more

Reminds me of a restaurant for family. Took home Turkey Dinner last Thanksgiving and really close to Grandma's, thank you

Visited this Bob Evans today. After being seated, no one even acknowledged us and asked to take a drink order for 30 minutes....and I had to stop the waitress to even get that (which she wasn't happy/nice about). Once we ordered (food and drink at the same time because we didn't want to take a chance on not getting attended to), it was AN HOUR before our food came!!! The food was tasty (and our orders were mostly correct) and the waitress did bring us various bread options at no expense, but I have to say that I've never experienced this kind of wait time - at ANY restaurant! I will not go back! read more

I'm candidly surprised this Bob Evans is able to keep the doors open. Overcooked food that was likely old and went into the microwave. Gross. read more

Table was dirty. Service was awful! Won't be back! Waitress was rude! Not one welcome not one thank you! read more

They were out of everything and my food was gross. My bananas were frozen and my blueberries were spoiled. My cranberry sauce was frozen, I asked for sour dough bread and got white bread. My carrots were brown and soggy. I do not recommend and will not be returning to this place. read more

Decided to grab a nice hot breakfast before getting back on the road. It was anything but. I give two stars for the Server who was friendly and kept us informed of our meals that were obviously taking too long to come out. I ordered a protein skillet. It came out lukewarm at best. Imagine a "skillet" meal coming out next to cold. How does this happen?! It is my belief that it was not prepared in the skillet at all, but instead thrown in there and topped off with a piece of "cold" scrambled egg. My side of fruit was also not fresh. The cantaloupe slices were soft and mushy near the center. Very disappointed and will not be back. read more

Been here twice. Last time there were only about 4 tables in the whole place. The host said they were getting a party of 35 that wasn't even there yet and the wait would be an hour and a half. I was alone. This time there were about 10 tables seated. 3 servers and a hostess. I was seated and ignored for 15 minutes. It was more important for the host to adjust the blinds then to get the attention of a server to assist me. After 15 minutes I gave up. I will never be back! I understand being understaffed but there were enough people there them to ignore you for 15 minutes. I am patient and a good tipper but have my limits. I imagine this place will be boarded up within 6 months! read more

Visiting from out of town stopped in because of the name was recognized one went in the place was almost empty. There were two groups of people ahead of us , however the staff was in no hurry to help anyone. After about ten minutes the couple ahead of us was finally able to get seated mean while no one ever said anything to us and we continue to sit in the lobby. After watching multiple staff members just walking by looking at us we decided to just get up and leave, we figured if they did not care we were there why stay. We were very disappointed read more

Chicken and noodles had a long hair in them. Chicken tenders had been cooked hours prior to serving, they were cold, DRY, DRY, DRY. Fries were partially frozen. Served a salad with no dressing even though I ordered it. Never got it. Epic failure on their part. Just go to McDonalds, at least their food is edible. read more

We had a delightful experience of this Bob Evans. Our server Kitty was just a cut up! She chattered back-and-forth with us and all of the other patrons that she was serving. She was the epitome of living the servant life... In a Christian way... It was obvious that she enjoyed her customers and enjoyed her work. Bob Evans will never receive a 5 star rating; it's not a high and place. But the food is always consistent and the service is usually fast. If you are ever in this part of Ohio, stop by this place and ask to sit in Miss Kitty's section. You won't regret it! She is a pistol! , . read more

I came here with a friend just yesterday, and ordered a breakfast item that came with a choice of sausage or bacon. I kindly told my waitress, Alicia, that I did not want meat with my food. She clarified by asking "No meat at all?" and I told her no. It took almost an hour for our meals to come out. When my food came, there was sausage on it. We told her I didn't order this, and she said "oh i'm sorry, I thought we agreed you'd give it to your friend."!We did not agree on that. She then brought out a plate to remove the meat, and made me remove it from my meal. It's one thing to not listen to customer requests, but it's even worse when you make up excuses as to why you didn't listen. There was also a piece of shredded cheese on my friend's strawberry. read more

Bob Evans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jeffersonville, Ohio

We stopped here on the way home from NYC to Louisville because we were tired of fast food. Biggest mistake of the trip. We were there around 4 pm so the place was almost deserted. The server took our drink orders and I ordered coffee. When she brought it she asked if I needed and I said yes but thought she should have asked when I ordered the coffee. As she ostensibly went off to get the creamer I noticed that there was no sugar on the table. So I waited. And waited. And waited. Probably a solid 10 minutes later she brought the creamer but quickly scurried off before I could ask for sugar or, more importantly, I could request a fresh cup of coffee since the one in front of me had cooled and once creamer was added was even cooler. I looked around for our server but she was no where in site so I took the cup up to the counter where two other women were working. When I first asked for a fresh cup of coffee the young woman just stared at me for several seconds then went over the coffee maker. She then stated she would have to make more so I went back to my table to wait. And wait. And wait. We received our apps and several people got refills of their drinks as I waited for my original drink. I did eventually get the coffee and the sugar but was never offered a refill. Then our food started to come. I ordered the same thing that two of the boys ordered and it came with pancakes. Suspiciously only my pancakes appeared overcooked on the outside and looked unappealing and after several bites it was obvious that while the outside was crusty they were undercooked on the inside. The boys however had no complaints about theirs. So the server continued to make several trips to bring us all of our food and when she appeared done and asked if there was anything else she could get us my daughter pointed to me and said, "What about the rest of her meal? She ordered what the boys ordered." By the look on our servers face this news came as a complete shock to her even though she took the order. To be honest I was fed up and was willing to say forget it at this point but she scurried off to rectify the situation. It is important to note that what came with the meal and was missing was eggs and a choice. I had also ordered a side of toast. Amazingly and despite the look of confusion on her face, when she finally brought out the missing food it was exactly what I had ordered. And no one had mentioned exactly what was missing, only that part of my meal was missing. Perhaps you are thinking that at least I finally got my food, and it was freshly cooked I might add but, wait. First of all when she brought out the plate she did not give it to me but rather set it on the side of the table so that I had to reach over and get it. At this point however, my suspicions that this server definitely had some issue with me was confirmed. Then when I picked up the plate and moved it closer I got a obvious and strong scent of some type of chemical. But I tried the food anyway and it was obviously tampered with. Therefore my entire meal consisted of 3 bites of undercooked pancakes, one bite of eggs and 2 bites of sausage and a half a cup of coffee. I did eat the toast though. So if you are going through Jeffersonville Ohio I strongly advise you to avoid the Bob Evans there. Although I can add one positive note. My grandson thought the server was cute, but he had only just turned 16 a few days earlier so take it for what is worth. read more

i love bobs so much. service is always so good and so is the food the cleanliness is kept up with and the people are always sweet. we used to go as a family after church but had to stop recently due to my great grandpas old age. i still go occasionally and it's always good :) read more

I've eaten here before and always had a good experience BUT on July 10th, 2022 it was truly forgettable. the hostess was grouchy. Our waitress was handling two thirds of the customers. I ordered a Wild Fire chicken salad and received it in ten minutes, not bad BUTmy wife ordered a Summer Berry salad and didn't revive it for another 20 minutes with a quick "sorry" by the waitress. My chicken was cold but cooked, not sure f it was meant that way, one piece of the chicken was ok but the other half was marbled with gristle. the actual salad had a good flavor. We got a to go box and left. I don't know if it's due to the economy but I didn't see a manager on the premises. Bob would be frowning! Doubt I'll come back read more
