great start to our day! Host was friendly and attentive. Our server Mel was friendly too. Made sure we had what we needed. Quite a change from previous visits

We were just in there today, were seated within a minute or so of walking in, sat at our table for 15 minutes with no one coming over to take a drink order or say anything to us. We were very disappointed and had to walk out, even on our way out, not a single word was said to us. It was 2:30 in the afternoon with plenty of staff and about 6 tables, which the largest was in the process of being cashed out and leaving. I can not say that we will never be back, but this definitely does not encourage us to come back any time soon.

Bob Evans is well, Bob Evans. It is your country chain with diner food - we do like to stop in here and there for a quick breakfast. They are always busy here so be prepared to wait a few minutes. I like the vegetarian omelet with just mushrooms, spinach & egg whites. The rise & shine is great too - as well as the Farmer's Breakfast. Service is fast & friendly!

I really wanted to like this place. Being from a northern area, I had not been to a Bob Evans before nor really knew what it was. I hoped for better. I'm giving it 3 stars based on the caramel mocha coffee alone. If it wasn't for that cup of deliciousness (half coffee, half hot chocolate, and caramel drizzle), I don't think it would have passed to the 3-star mark. Our waitress was very friendly and as efficient as possible during a busy Sunday lunch hour. The service was slow but I expected slowness because of the busyness and because of the general speed of southerners (no offense). I ordered two eggs over-easy with hash browns and sausage. The eggs were watery and flavorless. The sausage and hash browns were decent, and the two buttery biscuits that came with the dish were very good. Yelper Ben Y. got a side of macaroni and cheese that was served cold and fried onion skins (or something along those lines) that just straight-up didn't look appetizing. Maybe I'm being harsh because I'm a New Jersey-native where family-run diners are always golden. Bob Evans felt like a cheap knock-off despite its attempt to boast and serve farm-fresh eggs and breakfast meats. Bob Evans, I'm sorry I was disappointed.

Went to Bob Evans today for the first time. Good service, but the food was not hot. Will give them another try though.

This is the third time, and it's always the same. Not crowded early in the morn, but it takes 45 minutes to get your cold food. The manager wanders around apologizing for taking so long. You say the food is also cold, and she gives a lame excuse about cold syrup on the French toast. Not sure why the potatoes, eggs and bacon are also cold. We give up. Won't be going anymore to buy fairly expensive cold food. I would say reasonable priced if it was delivered hot and within 20 minutes, not 45.

This is one of those chains with pre-made frozen food, which is inexpertly heated up by the staff. The staff here seems to change week by week. Or did, because I don't know if that is still the case as I stopped coming here. It was because of the Egg Incident. I ordered oatmeal and a hard boiled egg for a light breakfast. The egg showed up, having BEEN MICROWAVED. (I mean it was a boiled egg subsequently put into a microwave because whoever dished it up thought the egg shouldn't be ice-cold from the fridge.) Now admittedly, most people in Delaware have not studied physics (I did) but average cooks know what you can and CANNOT put into the microwave. I should have known better when I saw the egg was warm and toasted in random spots, indicating MICROWAVE! WARNING! but I couldn't resist poking a fork into the warmed egg. KABLOOIE! It was ALL over. (The superheated fat of the yolk creates a pocket of steam contained by the cooked white. If you puncture this capsule, it releases a lot of steam and pressure and you get an exploding egg. Don't show this fact to your kids. Burns and a mean cleaning job can result.) Sometimes the food is cold (I mean, really, all they have to do is 'wave it. It's prepacked frozen food.) The service can be weird. Not worth it, even though the biscuits and (canned) gravy are ok.

We just got back from this establishment, and I still give them 4 out of 5 stars. This time the food and service was excellent. My only problem on this visit was the Hostess, (Samantha). She had a little bit of an attitude. When we got there, there was about 10-12 people waiting to be seated. I told her (Rose, party of 2). And she said it would be a little while as she had to seat the other guests. Then I said are there any other (parties of 2)? She said no. I asked if we could be seated at the (table for 2) right there next to her station. Then she looked at me and said "Ok, I'll seat. Here you go" with a little attitude. Our waitress (Karen) was great, very friendly and nice. Maybe Samantha was having a bad day. I hope it gets better for her...

Pretty good breakfast. Would prefer Friendlys but since a careless smoker destroyed it, this will have to do.

not bad. the food was hot and came out like i ordered it. the coffee was very good. the waitress called me honey baby cookie sweetie like a hundred times which was kind of annoying, but otherwise it was fine. i'd go back there for a decent breakfast.

Tasty food service meals that come from a can. Nothing at Bob Evans is amazing but they are consistently good. I have been to the Middletown location 3 times and the wait staff has always been pleasant, food hot and never left with an empty cup.

The soup tasted like it was out of a can, hot but thin. Coffee and tea were not very hot. Biscuits were fresh. Salad was fine for a small garden salad. When were ready for the check, the waitress finally appeared and asked if I wanted more soup or salad. Beef sandwich did not look that great.

Been there any number of times over the years. Food never fails to satisfy. But docking a couple of stars for Service quality, which for some reason is consistently sub par, generally indicative of poor management. Staff is generally not friendly & slow.

What a strange place. I stopped here with friends on our way from Annapolis to Philly. It was about 4 in the afternoon and we hadn't eaten all day, and this seemed like a good idea. The place was clean and we were seated promptly and the menu was huge and cheap. But the waitress was so effing weird. Every time she came to the table she was so so weird. She seemed like a nervous wreck, quivering as she passed drinks and cups of salad dressing across the table. She told us she didn't know how to make iced coffee. She asked where we were from, and we said"Philadelphia". She said "What part of Pennsylvania?" and again we said "Philadelphia". I felt bad for her when I saw her making a salad for one of my friends - the servers have to make the food too? Our food came out really fast, and with the exception of a really questionable sausage gravy, was totally fine and just what you would expect from a chain breakfast place like this. It was also really inexpensive. But better for laughs than for eating.

Bob Evans has never failed me.The breakfast is always delicious. The lunch and Dinner is very very good. I didn't put 5 stars there because the service gets pretty slow. Even with the service, almost every Sunday I visit Bob Evans for a delicious lunch. (Written by Brenton, a 10 year old)
