We stopped here recently on our trip to Ft Myers , I had been here before years ago on a trip to PA and found it was a good alternative to the other cozy comfort restaurants. After mulling through thier extensive menu for at least 10 minutes which is not good for me being that I can be indecisve since I like mostly everything (in terms of food) I ordered the Pot Roast sandwich on grilled sourdough that came with fries and slaw and ordered a side salad. It was good , pot roast was moist and flavorful but about average at best..GF ordered the classic breakfast with bacon and eggs that accompanied 2 Biscuits and Gravy. I think the B&G were the best thing with her choice, bacon was dry and eggs seemed microwaved. This experience was decent but not the best execution of what BE is about. I rate them above Denny's but below Cracker Barrel in terms of cheap , but good quality breakfast and lunch choices.

As the other reviewer said, it's traditional American food. Nothing fancy, lots of things like pot roast, mac-n-cheese, soups, etc. The food is fine -- a little salty, perhaps, but generally fine. The service was a little underwhelming (when a customer does the "slurp air through a straw while you walk by" thing, it's a good indication that they want their drink refilled, no? Our waitress missed it twice when she came to bus the tables around us.), but the prices were decent and I'll say that my pot roast sandwich was actually pretty good. The potato soup was bland, aside from the salt (although the bacon and chives on top were a nice touch). The waitress did try to sell us a quart of soup (for $5) to take home, which I found kind of odd; I'd just finished a meal with soup, if I took soup home with me, it'd get cold before I ate it. However, I might file the information away if I'm ever in the area and get a hankering for soup to take home. Oh, wait, soup is cheap and easy to make at home; nevermind. I wrote it off as not-very-well-thought-through corporate initiative -- sell more high-margin soup! Solid 3-star meal; It's a decent place for cheap lunch or dinner if you're in the area, but I don't think I'd drive out of my way to get here.

Can't go wrong here. Food is good service is good. I would come early in the day for breakfast especially during snowbird season else there will be a wait. Off season normally no wait.

Restaurant needs a facelift, waitresses' need clean clothes and the floor needs a vacuum. Food is okay for the money, nothing special, but the price is right.

First time at a Bob Evans, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Wait was only 10 minutes around noon on a Sunday. Customer service was very friendly from the hostess, to the waiter, the managers and the cashier. My husband and I both ordered Farmer's Breakfasts, his with Brioche French Toast topped with Blueberry topping and mine with Fruit N Nut Multigrain Pancakes. For being a "Bob Evans", I was really expecting the sausage to blow me away...not quite. I will say that the link sausage my husband ordered, was better than the patties I ordered. Everything else was really good though; especially the pancakes and french toast. For beverages, we ordered OJ and Sweet Tea. Both were good; OJ was Florida's Natural, which I really prefer to Minute Maid, and the sweet tea was actual brewed tea not the powdered stuff. They also offer bakery items and candles for sale. Overall, I am really happy with the quality of the food and service and would definitely return. I did notice that your experience can be vastly different depending on your service. We sat with Chris and he did a great job :)

My brother-in-law was in the throes of Snowbird Croup, a nasty upper respiratory virus that coincided with the arrival of tourists in SW FL from the snowy North. Unwilling to wait until the bug ran its course, he haunted pharmacies, doctors, Urgent Care clinics, and the neighborhood curb where he commiserated with other Walking Dead (their description, for sure) about treatments. Enter my sister, who waved the car keys, disappeared and reappeared like a magician, with a stout, still warm take out container of her husband's favorite BOB EVANS vegetable beef soup. Don't tell the Rx industry. For five instead of five hundred bucks, the soup works miracles.

Absolutely my favorite Bob Evans!! If my server is busy, no worries because all the servers work as a team and they all check on me as they walk by. The most friendly staff!! Management always checks in with everyone too! The food is always perfect! They have NEVER messed up my order. I wish all restaurants worked like this!

Absolutely love the turkey dinner with mashed potatoes. Definitely my favorite. Bob Evans offers lots of menu choices. I have gotten a dry burger on occasion, but there are definitely a few winners on the menu.

I haven't eaten here for probably 17 years. They open for breakfast @ 6. Okay on this day 6:05. Two of us were promptly seated. I ordered coffee and my meal. The coffee came quickly. My meal didn't. First I got the other guy's order, then mine came. The eggs were swimming in liquid. The home fries were more like boiled potatoes. It just wasn't appetizing. So I paid handsomely for my coffee, $5 and told the waitress the food wasn't good today and left.

I heard great things about this restaurant, and was excited to go to dinner here. As I glanced at the menu online, I couldn't make up my mind what I was going to order, but when I arrived at the restaurant, I decided to order their "Slow-Roasted Pot Roast" and their Wildberry Lemonade. The lemonade was sweet & tangy, and was delicious. When the pot roast arrived, I was disappointed, because the amount of food offered for the price, wasn't much, and the onions looked as if they were cut up and added to the meat, carrots & potatoes right before being served. I ate less than half of one biscuit, and didn't touch the second biscuit. Since I'm a new resident of Florida, I'll give this place a try for breakfast (and dinner once again), to see how things turn out. We had a great server named Kyle.

Ok 3rd time to order in a month using on-line ordering. Curbside pickup. They have not gotten the order correct yet. So frustrating. They ALWAYS leave something out. This time the Mac n cheese Last time was the green beans. I spent over $40 plus added a tip. Really thinking I will order a pizza or from somewhere else next time.

Definitely do not go there for dinner. Food was marginal at best. Wait was very long. The restaurant appeared totally unorganized. We were not the only ones complaining, at least 3 other tables had similar experiences. Everyone spoke with the asst manager but nothing seemed to improve. She needs more training and experience, appears to be trying but ... Breakfast and lunch meals are a totally different experience. Service is exceptional and kitchen in run efficiently. Food is great!

When you want a quality breakfast, and don't want that slimy feeling you get at other places Bob Evans is the place to go. My last visit I was asked by three different Managers how everything was going. A rather aggressive way to make sure people are happy, but this is why you get a four star review instead of a standard three. Food is always good, but nothing to rave about. So, if you like sweet breads, and smiling service, come in for a cup of joe, and smile.

Yes its a chain, but its a good reliable one. Freshly remodeled, fair prices, good food, great service. Parking lot is a nightmare during season, so go at off times.

Well me and wife were in the mood for a Great breakfast around lunch time. Well I must say we found the best place in Fort Myers. I have seen many Bob Evans but really never took the time out of my busy day to give one a chance. I must say I am very pleased we did. The food was amazing, the sweet tea was actually sweet, and the biscuits will make you speechless. The point is, give it a shot and I promise you will love it like we did.
