Restaurant is dirty, table was sticky and there were crumbs all over the windowsill next to us. Our waitress looked disheveled and had stains on her shirt. Waited over 20 minutes in a mostly empty restaurant, at which time waitress said "I think your food is ready." She was running around chatting, and had already messed up another person's order we overheard. Then come to find out they hadn't even started making our order. She did not even care when we said that we were going to leave, and none of the other employees acted surprised. Honestly, the McDonald's down the road was much cleaner and the quality of food just as good.... read more

This restaurant is clean and the staff is enormously friendly. The food was very good, the food you'd expect at Bob's. Coffee a bit weak for my taste, but unlimited with heavy ceramic mugs. We ordered the Rise and Shine with chicken sausage and the Veggie Skillet breakfast. Nice time. Nice company. Come on over for some breakfast. read more

The food was good. The service was good. Didn't have to wait long. The restaurant was clean.

The food is good, but the smell when you enter isn't pleasant at all. We thought it would go after a while, but not really. Service can be slow even when it's not packed. But food was good and price is good. read more

Walking into this homey restaurant for some good fresh food. This trip I ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch. Started off with a cheddar potato soup which was hot and a great starter followed by farm fresh eggs and French toast. I highly recommend the French toast for breakfast lovers. read more

The food was excellent however the service left a lot to be desired. Dora was our server and it took 6 and a half minutes to get a refill of water there was absolutely no pre bussing was well. The overall the atmosphere was nice and the cashier Donna was super sweet and friendly! Also i had gotten the honey butter chicken and french toast which even though was pictured to have powdered sugar none came with it. read more

Bob Evans - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Stopped at the Horace Ave. Location this afternoon. 2 booths away a couple had a white toy poodle in the aisle, apparently "service dog ". We ordered and I went to the restaurant. When I returned, "service dog " was on the TOP of the table eating cut up food! Definitely NOT something a "service dog" is trained ti do! Mentioned this to our server and later to the supervisor, as it certainly is a health hazard! Apparently there isn't anything they can "do" because it's a "service dog" Rubbish! I for one won't eat at an establishment where they allow animals to eat at the same tables where we eat! Come on, people! ​​​ read more

Most recently we wanted to pick up a good breakfast for cost value. We got one of the family meals and it was more than enough food, 6 bacon biscuits that were double the size from any local fast food, with authentic and higher quality food items. Also came with a large tray of fresh fruit and we purchased a half gallon of OJ to go with it and spent almost the same we would have if opting for fast food for a family of 4. read more

Soooooo stuffed and soooo satisfied! First time taking the family out since 1978!!! Jk but it feels like it! They still were practicing social distancing so there was plenty of space! One waitress busting her butt making sure all her tables were taken care of! Props to her! Food was delicious! Me and my family had a great time thanks to this Bob Evans! I'll leave some pics below! And yes, the bathrooms were clean!!! read more

Fast and easy breakfast chain. This was a breakfast of opportunity we yelp-found while heading north on 75. Plenty of parking, but a little difficult to navigate to; down a dead end road. Service was great - food came out quickly and the refills were always there. My wife had the French toast and I had the Border Scramble Omelet. Both were good, not necessarily great. But it did the trick and we were back on the road quickly. Inexpensive too! read more

I stopped by to get some fresh banana bread. I was very disappointed when the lady told me that there was one loaf left that was freshly baked, which meant I couldn't get a deal on two loaves for eight dollars and pay the five dollars for one. I proceed to pay for it take to bread home got home it was warm but it was very DRY and not very good. Unlike like the previous loaves I had purchased from Bob Evans in the past....My husband absolutely loves banana bread and he was not very happy with this brick that I brought home we didn't even eat the other half we tossed it in the trash. What a waste of time and gas....I am Very disappointed! read more

Let's face it, this is diner food. But there is enough variety for anyone. Their grilled chicken is pretty tasty. And I enjoy their chicken noodle dishes. I think the pot roast dinner is the standout. Banana bread is always delicious and so are the rolls. Obviously the pies are pretty good. My son (who isn't a salad lover) likes the chicken tender salad with the wildfire ranch dressing. I personally feel it tastes a lot like a bagged salad but the dressing is very good. Overall, an ok option but don't expect a flavor explosion. read more

My fiancé works nearby. Twice I bought her lunch there, the first time I thought well maybe this place was having a bad day. The second time, to give you an example, got her a BLT. A Beacon, Lettuce, and Tomato (BLT) sandwich with chicken noodle soup. I stressed strongly that she wants extra crispy beacon. Like nearly burnt. My exact words. There wasn't any lettuce on the BLT. No Mayonnaise on the BLT. The beacon was semi firm at best. The BLT had what she thought was a slice of turkey that she described as being like jerky dry and toughness. Like a slab of dried out leather-like meat. The soup had zero flavor, even after she added a lot of salt. How do you screw up canned soup? The name of the sandwich pretty much explains what to put on the sandwich. Why would one put turkey on a BLT? Needless to say, Cracker Barrel will be getting any future breakfast or lunch business but not Bob Evens. read more

Definitely down hill on food and service. I asked my server why she was so hard to find and she said she was helping out other stations that we're over burdened. She said they had a bus of people she up unexpectedly. Sausage and cheese omelet had a small amount of burnt sausage in a clump on half, no sausage on the other half. Toast was burnt. Coffee cup went empty for 15 mins. I could go on, but you get the idea. I have been coming to this location for many years, and today was my worst experience. It used to be my favorite weekend breakfast restaurant, but I'm going to change up to somewhere else. The staff was friendly, and I don't blame them. Insufficient staffing is probably the main culprit. read more

The waitress nails were so dirty. The bathroom had an awful smell. Silverware was dirty. Please ask your server to have clean hands and nails! read more

First for the record, they close at 9:00pm and not 9:30pm as the internet states. We've passed by this place plenty of times and never stopped to try it until yesterday. We got in about 8:30pm and were greeted and seated quickly. The hostess/cashier told us that Nicole would be our server so we waited patiently for her. About 15-20 minutes passed and no one had come by. I was starting to get irritated and a lady pops out and says, "Oh!" and returns to the back. She then comes out and asks us what we would like to drink and checked up on her other couple customer. It was not off to a good start but it got better as the time went by. We ordered off the 3 course dinner menu. ENDLESS DINNER ROLLS WILL KEEP ME COMING BACK. BEST THING THAT NIGHT. Country Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and fries - That was good but nothing superb. Chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and green beans - Fresh out of the fryer! It was delish. For dessert, we got a cookie and ice-cream sundae. Since we were there for closing time, she ended up giving us one of each cookie which was nice. Overall, it was a great experience. She did forget to put in our to-go order but we gave her a break because it was closing time so her mind must be elsewhere but still tipped 16%. Definitely will be back! read more

Sad... waited 32 minutes at least for our food , it never arrived because they were more worried about the 9 top table that was ahead of us . So I guess they can only cook for 1 table at a time! And no apologies from the cook staff or management as we just paid for our drinks and left! The only one who cares was the server and she had no control over the situation. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

Stopped in this morning for breakfast n coffee. After 4 sets if silverware we finally found 1 set without someone else's eggs on them, needless to say I couldn't take a chance on the food. I can not recommend this place for it's no where up to Bob Evans standards. read more

The manger and the employees were using foul language in the back. Laughing and acting like children. I'm surprised this is how management acts when I business is opened. Then I had some gay waiter who gave crap service and his attitude was horrible. I don't care if you're gay or you have a gay pride flag. You should find another profession then waiting tables because you're bad at the job! He wouldn't serve me because I told the table behind me to show some respect and turned down the phones. So he called me a raciest for telling them to quiet down. I also asked them to move me so I didn't have to listen to the phones before this.I don't really care what race you are if you're making noise and you're disruptive in a restaurant I'll tell you to tone it down. So I got kicked out and they wouldn't serve me for telling Mexicans to turn down the phones. People who are faced with facts today, call others raciest to deflect. Corporate, you should fire them because how do you let employees attack customers and call them raciest? I should make a TikTok and put it out there how you treat customers and then it'll go viral and people boycott Bob Evans. Anyway, you get my point. read more

If you've been to one Bob Evans, you've been to all of the Bob Evans's. I usually get the same breakfast, a "Rise and Shine" which includes eggs and hash browns and biscuits and their terrific sausages.Today's meal was a little greasier than usual and was somewhere above warm but not hot when it arrived from the kitchen. I'm not one to send food back though. Service from my waitress was good, but she seemed a little overworked. It's a convenient location, once you realize that they're facing Adamo/Brandon but you have to go around the back to get to the place. read more

My first foray to this chain, Bob Evans did not disappoint. Not sure why it took so long to try them. Meals taste home-made, ingredients fresh, and staff was exceedingly nice and attentive. The French toast are thick pieces of light, fluffy bread. It was quite delicious! For price, amount of food is just right. I feel full and have just about finished my meal - a sign that portions are just right! Definitely going back read more

Dealing with a family member in the hospital with Covid this year and without Bob Evans, we wouldn't have gotten the comfort of Thanksgiving food this year that we so desperately needed. From ordering, to pickup, to instructions, to the meal itself, our Thanksgiving went flawlessly. The food was wonderful, and we were able to doctor some of the recipes to taste like our own without all the effort that goes into making it from scratch. There was no room for improvement, it was a perfect meal. Thank you to the Bob Evans staff for helping our family so much while we come to terms with the state of the world. read more

Hostess was rude and ignored people in line and than would come back and say theres a wait list...do you want to be added. She would continue to complain they were short handed, she has people all over and she cant do it all. Once seated, food was good. Waitress was great! Loved her. read more

First ever takeout for Thanksgiving and meal was pretty damned good. As you can imagine, the desk was somewhat chaotic but the patrons were patient and the staff was chill and efficient. Had David not taken Flavio's bag, it might well have been perfect. Kudo's, we'll be back next year :) read more

Whatever you do, don't order online or through any food delivery service app. They'll mess your order up every time and you won't get items you pay for. Missing several items out of a 50+$ food order, on Mother's Day of all days. This is the third time I've had issues with this particular Bob Evans. The manager did say she would refund me but I will not eat here again. read more

This particular Bob Evans location their customer service sucks. Employees and manager on duty were just looking at us and not attending us. They know we were waiting for a while and they didn't acknowledge our presence. This is is racist. Their customer service is horrible. Obviously they don't want our business. Oh but wait when WHITE family walk in and they immediately attended them but not us. Why because we are not white? We don't deserve to be treated the same way and equally as everybody else?. This is BS; but it is what it is. Very sad and sickening. This Bob Evans does not deserve to have a star. My husband was follow by one of the employee (cook) and threatening him and he waited my husband in the parking lot. He said that my handsome is racist because he was wearing the blue and white stripes shirt. read more

Ladaija was an excellent server. Food was very good and prices were very reasonable. I had the lemon sole filets with potatoes and green beans. Excellent tea as well. Very enjoyable. James who greeted us and seated us is a fine young man as well. Do what you can to keep these valuable employees read more

Ordered takeout breakfast, so so so bad! I have eaten at other Bob Evans before and really enjoyed it but this experience was terrible. The only food item that was decent were the pancakes. The sausage patties that came with the pancakes were almost burnt, flat and hard. I ordered a side of hashbrowns and the order was very very small (looked like someone's leftovers). The gravy I ordered was watery with chunks of again overcooked sausage. I was so disappointed. We won't order from there again. read more

I arrived at my hotel next door (La Quinta) a wee bit early for check in (7 hours early.. lol) but I'll go into that in that review. I felt bad eating the free breakfast when I hadn't checked in yet so I decided to walk next door to Bob Evans. I've never eaten at a Bob Evans so I didn't know what kind of food they served but I quickly found out it's like Cracker Barrel and Denny's had a baby. Like Dennys, you get your check and pay upfront. It also has the same layout. But like Cracker Barrel their food leans to the southern/comfort food style. They even sell candy at the front like Cracker Barell does. When you walk in the server seats you and within no time the waitress is there to take your order. I've got to say she was the friendliest, most enthusiast waitress I've ever had. Our drinks and food came out within no time as well. My boyfriend ordered the Sunrise skillet, which had eggs, homefries, sausage and a bread item (toast, biscuit, pancakes, etc). He liked it. I got the rise and shine with two eggs, homefries, and bacon. Simple but good. What I loved were the biscuits, made fresh daily. Overall, I would recommend this place for your typical American breakfast and comfort foods. Nothing fancy about it, classic, cheap and fast. read more

My daughter and I had brunch here last week. When we ordered two cups of the "Summer Special" flavor of soup, tomato basil, which they are promoting heavily, the waitress told us there was only one cup of soup available and one of us would have to choose something else. It was 10:30 in the morning....before the lunch rush....and they were already out of the "special" soup? A few minutes later she brought out two cups of soup and said they were "able to find another one." I wish I'd been given the alternate soup I had chosen. I normally like tomato basil soup, but this was just awful. I'm wondering if they threw together a quick batch after we ordered it. To me, it tasted like just-opened canned tomatoes, raw garlic, and fresh basil that was heated to the boil and served. Any tomato-based soup needs to simmer for a long time for the flavors to blend. This was overpoweringly tasting of canned tomatoes -- acrid, bitter, and pretty unpleasant. Oh, and so, so, so salty. I'm not one to send food back, so I added a pack of white sugar to my bowl and stirred and stirred until it was palatable. That really cut the edge of the bitterness off. I also got a loaded baked potato, which was excellent, and my daughter had half of a turkey bacon melt, which she loved. The restaurant has plenty of parking and was clean (restrooms, too) and well-staffed. I'd like to try one of their breakfasts sometime when we're on the road (no locations near where we live in SC.) read more

We just left there. Everything was fine with the wait, service and breakfast. However when I went to pay at the front, the apple pie showcased under glass was covered in mold. I tapped the hostess on the shoulder and quietly told her as to not draw attention to it. Her response- "Oh I know, I just haven't taken the time to get a manager." Wow read more

Great service from the waitresses at Bob Evans I ate the baked fish which was delicious and my drink was decaf coffee with creamer. Overall experience here at this Bob Evans was top notch inside of the restaurant was very clean and up kept. The waitresses are very nice and they loved my Koi fish tattoo on my right shoulder. The drink refill was really fast and our food order took about 10 minutes to prepare and come out to our dinner table. This is my forth time here for dinner and both experiences were great nothing to say that is bad. This Bob Evans does get busy during the morning time breakfast rush since it's next to the interstate, hotel and gasoline store. I know this restaurant has mixed reviews some good and some bad but what other restaurant has great everything about it? Trust me when I say I been to some of the very nicest restaurant's and some wish I never went to eat there all the way from west, central, south and east coast. I know what I am saying when I am writing this review. read more

Awful! Awful! Awful! 90% of the tables were empty and dirty! For the hour and a half we were there. So many employees just standing around. Wait staff could only take two tables at a time?? Two ladies at hostess stand did nothing! Wrote down names and just stood there. My parents owned six restaurants and this would have never happened. If management wants to know what is going on at the Horace location Tampa watch surveillance video of this past Sunday around 1pm. read more

It's been at least 15 years since I've dined at a Bob Evans. It was a holiday staple when we visited KY. Within walking distance of our hotel, so we wandered over for a late dinner. It was clean, well lite and the staff was welcoming and friendly. I went for soup & sandwich...... Baked potato soup and grilled ham and cheese..... a perfect combination. Our waitress even threw in a basket of bread, biscuits and pumpkin bread for everyone. $10.04, dinner and a beverage. read more
