On a recent trip to Cleveland, I was looking for that trendy breakfast spot (I'm from California) to begin a long day. Passing by this Bob Evans, my Indiana nostalgia kicked in and I decided to give it a whirl. It was filled with old farmers, and many smiles. Just the atmosphere I was hoping for. I ordered the market breakfast something or other. It came with eggs, bacon, and gravy. By the way, I forgot that in the Midwest a "side of gravy" literally means "a heaping bowl of gravy with two large biscuits". As I wasn't going to be plowing the fields that day, I only had a few bites - but HOLY COW was it delicious! All the fat and salt you could ever want to spread on your butter soaked biscuits and it was everything I could have hoped for and more! Ok, the coffee was amazing (I'm serious), the staff was great, and everything else was fine. It was the perfect way to start my day and I just felt relaxed and satisfied. I never thought I'd be reviewing a Bob Evan's, but the experience was so good I just had to take the time.

Restaurant was moderately busy, and I think our server was new. We waited about 20 minutes after we were seated. He was not sure of the sides and other servers noticed he was having a hard time, disappointed that they don't work as a team to make a better experience for the customers. From the time we were seated until the time we payed the bill it took over an hour and that was ordering, waiting for the food, waiting for the check.

I was looking for something convenient to hotel, delicious, and a place with options. This place has all of the above. The service was good and my food was very fresh and not greasy. The amount of food I got for the price I paid was very good and I got served a lot more than expected. I ordered to go and did not have to ask for eating utensils, ketchup, or syrup. Like I said service was good. I will be returning during my trip:)

It's just like Dennys or Village Inn. Actually, Village Inn is a little better in my opinion. The soup was good and so was the omelette that I had, but it was just meh. It's good for a quick "diner style" eat, but nothing super tasty.

Our family of five eats at Bob Evans regularly. Over the years we have seen several remodels and changes to the Bob Evans brand but we've found that we've always enjoyed the down-home atmosphere and the country style cooking. Our kids have always gotten free kids meals for their birthdays and we probably eat there about six times a year. It's not high cuisine. I have kids who live pancakes for any meal. But there are selections for everyone for lunch and dinner, good honest stick to your ribs food, great biscuits, rolls and flavored beads. We had great service today on a busy Sunday. My only complaint over the past six months or so has been that the WiFi has not worked for me at all ever.

Waste of time and money! Hostess was rather unhappy to been working. Eggs were ok. I ordered the new cheese hashbrowns and they were AWFUL! Bad taste and lumpy texture. Topped with some greasy corn flakes. I asked for regular hashbrowns and they were just as bad on a different leve. Dried out and no taste. My sausage links were so overcooked, i could not even cut them, let alone eat them. The brioche french toast was nothing to write home about regarding flavor. They arrived cold, and to make things worse the syrup was cold also. Coffee was good, but i was never offered a refill. Total bill was about $14 with tax and tip....way too much for a sub par meal. If it was free, i would stilql complain. I aam not sure if this was a one time thing or a regular occurance at this location, but i will not be back.

Wanted to have a nice breakfast with my family. We decided to come here. Worst choice ever. We walked in and waited to be seated. It took 5 minutes to be acknowledged. This is also after either the manager and host walked by. (Which both straightened up the menus that were right next us.) My boyfriend and I looked at each other and said loud enough, "it looks like they do not want our money today." We promptly left and went to Dennys, which if I may add, we were promptly seated and waited on. Will never go back to this location!

Never been to a Bob Evans so I was intrigued as I've heard good things. What a disappointment. The waitstaff did the best they could, but the hosts could care less if we were there. The food was surprisingly terrible considering it was the breakfast menu. I love cooked breakfast and have not been to a restaurant where it's bad. But this was the exception. Since I am visiting and know there's a location in my home state, I was willing to give them a second chance...until I was paying my bill. You don't have to be enthusiastic, but at least make me feel like you want me there and want me to come back. Never again.

Had dinner with family here yesterday. They have the new broasted chicken in dark meat and white. Tried it and it was alright. Parking is difficult in the lot sometimes, the path is curved.

Bob Evans is a solid no nonsense breakfast . If you don't mine a few bucks more than a mom and pop than this is your place . Good coffee, food quality is average and service is always good. Nothing to wow you but no issues.

I went to have my breakfast here thinking there's not a lot of cars outside and I can eat right away its a mistake. I ordered my food right away and 15 mins later no food, so I decided to to used the restroom and when I came back my table is clear everything is gone, when I ask the server what happen and she reply we thought you left already and I said ok just make it to go then waited10 mins finally I got a bag and 2 containers inside and pay it for $10.95 I handed my $20 got my change back and turn around about to leave I looked in the bag and no silverware so I ask and she said I will get some in the back, 5 mins later nothing so I left. When I reach my workplace and have breakfast I saw the worst breakfast I've ever seen 3 slice of bacon about half serving of scrambled egg and hash brown and I won't forget the burned toast for $10.95 I forgot to take picture coz I'm so upset and throw it away thinking why would I eat this. My long story short I would not recommend this place to anybody and they don't even deserve a star

Honestly, I haven't had worst service ever! Waited for a table for 10 minutes and their were tables open and clean everywhere. Water came to the table with coffee grounds in it. Our server, Lisa, was no where to to be found after taking our order. A different person delieverd our food and we had to ask the "retail leader" for our check. He printed and delivered it and we were on our way out the door to never return. We normally go to Brookpark rd. and everything is usually fine. This one was not fine. Steer clear.

Worse experience I've ever had at a Bob Evans, EVER! Went there with my elderly uncle who ordered the Senior's size Pot Roast and I tried ordering the regular size Pot Roast Dinner. Their menu says you can substitute any side for the standard side which comes with the meal, so I asked to have the Mac and Cheese instead of the Mashed Potatoes. I was told that wasn't allowed, that the manager doesn't allow it unless you get the Mac and Cheese under the Pot Roast and gravy, just as the Mashed Potatoes would have come. I told them to please ask the manager to put the Mac and Cheese on the side or just forget about me eating anything; that's how silly I found this request. What about customer service and customer satisfaction? Does it seem to any of you reading this that this Bob Evans cares more about their silly rules than they do their customers satisfaction? I've never heard of anything so silly in my life. The manager told the waitress that she would allow it this one time (sounded a lot like my first grade elementary teacher). Well when they brought out our dinners, my uncle, who ordered the senior size Pot Roast had more on his plate than I did. Without any exaggeration, I had what looked like all of 4 or 5 forks of Pot Roast, and hey are charging $10.29 for the dinner. What a rip off, which I told the waitress is how I felt about it and that they could either give me more of a real portion or simply take it off my bill and not serve me anything. The result, was that I never got to eat anything at this Bob Evans, and the manager never even had the decency to come out and speak with me. I use to be a big fan of Bob Evans, but this is about the third problem I've had at the same number of Bob Evans around Cleveland, so I think they're starting to become too much or a corporate style restaurant watching every single serving size and losing complete interest in their customers satisfaction.

You are apt to get hit by a handisnapper who can barely see over his Buick steering wheel. The parking lot is very, very dangerous. The food is down on the farm good. Once, while planning a date with a new gentleman caller, we were discussing hip and artisan places to go for a second date. I jokingly said we should go to Bob Evans. He paused, revealing his interest. We both revealed the deep, dark truth that we love Bob Evans. We had our second date here. We were the youngest couple by 15 years.

I am a Bob EVANS fan. But I noticed that they are getting SKIMPY on there portions and the price of food has gradually gone up in price. B.E needs to watch this or they will skimp and we will not eat there because of the price to food ratio. Come on BOB..lol

Bob Evans is a decent breakfast place. Whatever you order, it will be done right and you won't mind the prices. The service is okay but there's one thing that bugs me about Bob Evans - any Bob Evans restaurant: They really want you to hurry up and get out so they can turn the table. You can tell from the minute you walk in. If there's a wait, ( there always is on saturday or sunday) in the back of your mind you know some people are in line watching you eat, hoping you'll hurry up so they can get your table. The waitress wants you to order your breakfast as soon as you sit down but she'll be patient and wait the 30 seconds it takes for her to get your coffee. Any longer and you'll get the look. Your food arrives a couple of minutes later. You eat for a few minutes and she's back. Is everything okay? More coffee? Here's your bill. Take it up front. You wolf down your eggs and find yourself doing the unthinkable, you tell your partner, "C'mon, honey, finish your coffee so we can get the hell out of here." She slows down on purpose and now your heart rate is up and you can't wait to get out. There's a line at the checkout. C'mon, let's go, people. The lady waiting for a table, just off the highway with her six kids is looking at you. If she weren't so polite, she'd call you something rude. You're the problem. You're the reason she can't have breakfast. You hang your head in shame. You want to apologize. You pay. Was everything all right? Yeah, sure. You breathe hard a few times and you're back out into the world. It's over. Breakfast is over. It's okay. It's gonna be okay. The prices are good and the biscuits are great with honey. Maybe it's a lot more fun on a blizzardy tuesday at 10:00 am in February. Maybe.

This is your typical Bob Evans, and by that I mean, bursting with old folks. The last time I came here the service was pretty crappy, I think all of the waitresses assumed that someone else was taking care of us when in fact no one was. After 20 minutes of sitting there, we had to get up and let a hostess know - annoying!
