Bob Evans Wildfire Chicken Salad

Every time we go to the BobEvans in Clarksville, Indiana they screw something up. If you order, no tomatoes you get them anyway. They forget your salad dressing in your take out. I love the Wildfire Chicken Salad, but not with eggs that don't belong there or with any other dressing besides Wildfire Ranch. They don't give you what you order. If you order extra chicken- forget it! Most of our orders are carry out, so we don't find out until we are home. I can understand an occasional mistake, but every time- NO!

Desired outcome: My money back

Bob Evans Microwaveable Mashed Potatoes

Made mashed potatoes. Was eating the mashed potatoes. And saw a big black ball of something and it was not pepper. I can see the little black specks and i can go ‘yeah thats pepper', but I found multiple big black specks of whatever in my mashed potatoes in which my three year old brother was consuming.
I just wanna know what the hell this is and if its potato skins, is it moldy - are we gonna get sick off this? Like why was this even my mashed potatoes?

Desired outcome: I would like to know what the hell these are.

My husband and I met his mother and sister for an impromptu family breakfast. As long time and frequent visitors to Bob Evans, we looked forward to enjoying a great meal with our family. When we got there, our family members were already seated. They had informed the server that they were expecting us any minute. It took several minutes before we were...

Bob Evans Restaurant going down the drain absolutely horrible

My family keeps giving bob eveans restaurants another chance and in different locations around Ohio. My family has been going here since they opened. Just the worst service the food is horrible and a total waste of time and money. Was a commercial driver and loved going to bob evans and now is a Twain wreck everywhere and I see them going out of business while they continue to do the same things o we and over again. Had to walk out of the brunswick, Ohio restaurant after a cocky sarcastic manager treated me and my wife and kids terribly. This is not the first time and not just this restaurant. Food is sketchy and never know what your going to get and most the time is shorted. Or cold. or order is incorrect. Never again never again had enough and totally moving on. I pray you go out of business and do believe your inching closer. Every day. What a shame

Desired outcome: Go out of buisness

Bob Evans cleanliness of location

we have been loyal customers for 7 years at this ocala location but no more. actually probably no more bob evans period! i have complained about this location before and very little is done to remedy the complaints, except you get a complimentary meal card and an apology.

my husband and i were seated in a booth by a front window. not only were the blinds disgustingly filthy with dust, fingerprints and grime, but there were dead bugs and dirt on the window sills right where we were sitting. YUK!

see our photos below.

Desired outcome: CLEAN UP THE RESTAURANT!!!

Bob evans.. Or was... 8/13/2021 (and 2 weeks prior at logan location) I waited to be seated 20 minutes. I realize this is typical with short staffing, pandemic, etc. I waited another 10 minutes to get a server. I ordered a drink. Server returned and took my order a few minutes later. Customers seated behind me had their orders taken, food brought and...

Bob Evans Columbia City Indiana

Husband, daughter and I ate at BE Sunday August 1 2021. It took quite a while to get our food. I ordered fish fries and Cole slaw. My fish was so over cooked it was blackened on the ends and the fries were hard and overcooked also. My husband ordered shrimp and it was hard and crunchy very overcooked. My daughter ordered the sunshine skillet and the potatoes were very hard and overcooked. Also ordered the cinnamon dough outs which were hard also. We spent almost $50 on this meal which was such a waste of money. What is happening to your restaurant!? It used to be so good and we loved to go there. Marsha Kelly

Desired outcome: Need to teach your cooks to pay attention to how long they cook the food.

Bob Evans Unsafe/ not sanitary food practices

Waitress mess up a order for another table and realized it was our food and serviced it to us off of their table. Waitress started they didn't touch it and when other table heard her say that the other table stated that they did touch it... this is not an appropriate practice, I feel as though I should alert the health department. This is how you spread germs and in time like these we should be paying attention to things like that.

Desired outcome: Would like my money back

Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes

Black Spots. The company never says what they are, ive quit buying them. Disgusting and probably unhealthy. I keep seeing people posting the same complaint but the the company seems to ignore the question. They need to be made to remove them from the market until the resolve it. I always thought of Mouse Dropings..Sick, Sick, Sick !

Bob Evans Service time

My wife and I visited your New Albany, Ohio restaurant last night. We ordered then sat for an hour waiting for our meal. I asked the server to check on our order after 45 mins had lapsed. During those 45 mins our server refilled our water glasses one time with warm ice-less water. After an hour we got up and left. What is most disturbing was that the take out orders flew out of the kitchen and were delivered to the take out window and pick up counter without delay. I got the sense while there that nothing was more important to that staff then the take out orders. It may be a long time before we eat at Bob Evans again-never in New Albany, Ohio.

The local Bob Evans in Waverly, Ohio at 50 Morningside Dr [protected]) has continuously failed in providing me with quality food. I usually eat inside to ensure my food comes out correctly and I could have it fixed right away if not. Today I ordered take out due to my boyfriend not wanting to eat in. Which I was hesitant because previous orders. We did it...

Bob Evans Product freshness, presentation and store cleanliness.

Our recent visit to the Bob Evans location at 100 Cresson Blvd. Phoenixville, Pa. proved to be the worst and most uncomfortable experience I ever encountered.
The first impression we had was to touch dirty doors, walk on carpets loaded with debris. find broken signs, sticky tables, dust on windowsills, and spotted silverware.
If we weren't entertaining friends we would have left this nightmare of a place.
Although embarrassed with our choice of choosing this location we continue to have a good relationship with our friends.
Sanitization does not hold a high priority at this location.

Desired outcome: Courtesy response

Bob Evans Very long wait time, seating customers that came in after we did, before us

My wife, granddaughter and I went to the Bob Evans, Nicholasville, KY on 20 June 2021. We checked in with the employee taking names and was told the wait time was 30 min. We noticed several groups that came in after us were seated and we were ignored. My wife asked the employee when we would be seated and the employee said there was 3 or 4 groups ahead of us. All of the people waitin for a seat came in after us. We had been waiting for about 1 hour. This is a very poor way to run a restaurent. We left and went to a different restaurent and was seated immediately. We will not return to the Nicholasville, KY Bob Evans.

Bob Evans Original mashed potatoes

We've used these potatoes multiple times. When I opened the package tonight, purchased at Ralph's Grocery on Pacific Coast Hwy. in Torrance, California, it was like putting a can of potato soup in the pan without the potato chunks. They were so soupy we had to eat them in bowls. I added cheese to try and thicken them. It did no good.

The scan code number is: [protected]. Two days ago they were out of stock so these had been put out yesterday or this morning.

I hope this was just a bad batch. We have another package to use. If they are as bad as this one, we won't even bother to eat them. Into the garbage they'll go and we won't bother buying them again.

Bob Evans Why servers still have to wear masks?

Visited store on Wilmington Pike in Centerville Ohio on June 10, 2021 and your servers still are being forced to wear masks. What is wrong with you? Our mask mandates have been dropped. Vaccines are available to anyone who wants one. Stop forcing this disgusting practice on your awesome and hardworking employees. If I go in there again and they're still being forced to wear them I'll take my business elsewhere. The freak show is over so get it together corporate!

Desired outcome: Discontinue forced mask wearing of employees by corporate

Bob Evans Counter sitting

I came in Saturday May 22nd the counter chairs were gone. I am an original customer from opening day and I sit exclusively at the counter. There is a kinship at the counter comparable to that "Cheer" feeling where everyone knows your name! I am a solo customer! Why take up a two or four top and it's just me! I continue to come here on almost a daily basis as well as my counter mates. Please reinstate counter sitting. I am sending this request for myself, (Mr Black, Bill, Paul, Mr Larimore, Gary, Frank and dozens others. The individuals l listed are Seniors, Veterans and Friends. Please help us, thanks for your time.

Desired outcome: Reinstate counter sitting!
