Reviews and Complaints

Agree...the GI Tract doesn't function like that. Symptoms typically take hours and as long as a day to show. If it happened that quick you probably had an allergy to something you ate and don't realize you have that allergy. And as far as being mad at being sent compensation by the restaurant for a previous complaint...why would you complain about a corporation for wanting to send you coupons with an apology. You seem to like complaining just to complain.

I certainly hope the symptoms subsided when the doctor informed you that it's anatomically IMPOSSIBLE to experience the first signs of food poisoning within 20 minutes of eating ! I must call bull snap on this one. Lol

With a 1 year old Im assuming you had a high Chair. According to most restaurant policy, they don't allow high Chairs in aisles or next to booths. This is a safety feature so children aren't in the way of a server or other employee carrying heavy trays of hot food. Sounds like you anted a booth and were seated at a table to keep your child safe. Since you left specifics out Im assuming you know you are wrong to complain yet still feel the need to feed your ego by making others feel you are right. Not all restaurant employees wear uniforms. Management typically wears Dress pants and dress shirts (sometimes with ties). So since ive shot down your seating experience ill address your "Wait Time"
If you go to a SIT DOWN restaurant and don't have at least an hour to an hour and a half...then that's your own fault. Food Safety Requirements, cook times and OTHER GUESTS don't get put on hold just because you walked into the restaurant. MY background...Im a retired Restaurant General Manager with 20+ years of General Manager experience for multiple restaurant both fine dining and casual.

It's called punctuation. It's your friend. Use it. Run on sentences are annoying and make you sound like a 3rd Grader, which makes it hard for me to buy your complaint.

It is a shame they are taking advantage of your adult daughter, . Perhaps they are doing this because mommy still fights her battles and she cannot stand up for herself.

I have identical issues... Bought my house 7 years ago. He had a snake realtor then also that promised the world & gave you dirt. The customer service was horrible... The people that worked for Fred are liars & theives. Bad things evetually happen to bad people like Macintosh & his employees. I would never refer anyone to buy a house from this guy. He is the head dirtbag. I hope he meets the same end that THP has met.

There are multiple hand washing stations, and chances are you didn't watch every single server every single time. It sounds like you violated health code policy by being a guest in the back of the house without washing your hands, but It seems you missed that part. Also, you just put your "Friend" in a bad situation by complaining. I think you are probably just a disgruntled employee (server) that doesn't like the policy of cleaning the plates.

Hi i would like to know why you took tomato juice, & waffels off your menue we have several fellows in our model railroad group that has breakfeast at your resturant every-other-wensday that do like to get tomato juice-&-waffels it was a bummer when we found out you don`t carry these items anymore the fellows that like the tomato juice always use pepper & tobasco sauce members, range anywhere from as low as{ four to as many as twenty-four} and a lot of them do like the items that you removed, the manegment & and wait staff are fine not a problem one, would you please bring those items back thankyou

As usual got over cooked and inedible food. Don't know why I even bother to order from this company. We don't have a lot of choices in Hillsboro. But I can get over cooked chicken at Walmart or Kroger.

11/26/2015 Thanksgiving both Portsmouth stores ran out of turkey before even the dinner hour. New Boston store had been out of the carryout dinners since "last week" after catering a nursing home. How do you run out of turkey on Thxgvng? We were regular customers, at least once a week, but will now spend our money next door at Applebees.

11/8/15 9:08 a.m. Bob Evans #414 Server Dara L (It was a Man) not sure if Dara is a gentleman. Possible manager. On my way to work stop to pick up breakfast. Not my first time here usually I go there at least 2 times during the week. He was not friendly at all did not speak just said what can I do for you. I Said I want to place a carry out order and he said what are you ordering and I said well I would like a menu to look at and was handed a menu. Placed my order got my food and got to work 22 minutes early to enjoy it. I spent $12.38 on breakfast no receipt number to reference this but there is a 11/8/15 R6 09:08 at the bottom near my order total. I ordered the Border Scrambler Oml breakfast with a side of bacon well done and biscuit. The bacon was perfect, my biscuits was hard my omlet has a few egg shells in them and I had no condiments no ketchup for the home fries no butter or jelly for the biscuit no sour cream for the border. I no this stuff comes with it because this is what I always order. When ordering they always ask do you need any (butter, jelly, sour cream, or would you like a side gravy for the biscuit) never was asked so I assume this would be in there anyway. I called them to complain at [protected] 4 times this morning and no one is answering the phone. They were not busy when I was there waiting, but may be when I tried calling. I don't usually work Sundays but did this as overtime for company because we needed help. So know I'm at work HUNGRY took my Medicine on a Empty stomach because I refuse to eat that. I no how good your food is because I go there to much on my way to work during the weekdays but I'm truly disappointed and I have wasted money on food I can't eat...My name is in your data base because I have used my debit card there before Bernadine O Boysaw, 1342 Manchester Columbus Ohio 43211.

If this is an usual thing to have your food over cooked and inedible why do you keep going back. I get it you are a six year old child and mommy and daddy get to pick where you eat and the food is not really as bad as you say it is you are just fussy.

Miss Kansas idk where to begin with ALL that is wrong with you mentally. Either you are not a parent. Or you are not a "Miss" as I have a difficult time believing even a woman with no children, grown or not, would encourage the objectivication of young women. What is wrong with Steve looking or leering at these ladies ? 1.) As attractive as I have found some guests or servers in my store, I would NEVER and I mean NEVER display an act of character weakness such as this manager did by STARING. 2.) BOB EVANS is a FAMILY restaurant. Corporate would NEVER train a manager (and our training is extensive including Respect & Diversity training, Corporate Law & Governance, Food Safety, business management, etc..) ..to treat customers and their families this awful horrible way. 3.) This manager has issues that apparently lie deeper than any interviewing District Manager could have picked up on. All managers go through a back ground and criminal check which must be flawless to work for this Company. Steve certainly appears to have a sociopathic complex, which makes him more than likely an extremely proficient liar during his interview process. I sure hope these folks take this complaint to Corporate because Bob Evans truly strives to hire only the BEST managers. I am embarrassed for your experience on this day. As for Miss Kansas, or whoever you are, if you make any creepy comments to MY children I don't care if they are 18 or not. Come see me at my store. 895 Commercial Parkway Dover, OH 44622. My name is Jason Bontrager. I am the Assistant General Manager. And I will break you in half if you looked at my children the wrong way bud .

What does it take to be a manager at Bob Evans. Last evening we were on our way back from down south where there are a lot of Cracker B arrels. We had eaten at several of them and when we got back to Ohio/Wva we decided to eat at Bob Evans because we really enjoy your food. We stopped at #0103 restaurant in Vienna, Wva. We sat for 15 minutes waiting for someone to wait on us then we sat there for another 30 minutes waiting on our food once someone did take our order. We received everything at the same time when we did receive it - rolls, salad, meal, etc. We asked to speak with a manager and when she came to our table we told her how we felt about the service and we weren't the only ones unhappy. There were a couple other tables in the same situation. Jessica was our server. The manager just said well I am sorry I will give you 20% off your bill. This is not the point - why wasn't this server qualified to do the job. She just walked around wasting time = like picking up a cup, picking up a tip and piddling around while customers were getting irritated. When we got up to the register to pay our bill several folks were there complaining about Jessica. When we paid our bill the manager was at the register and even tho she had told us she would take 20% off the bill that wasn't done either . But like I ssaid, this was not the point. This manager really didn't care about her employees or customers.

I don't quite know how to make this complaint, so am just going to say this.,
For several years now there is a group of about 10 to 12 people from church that go to early 8:30 service, then at 9:30 we go to Bob Evans for breakfast., we have never had any trouble with getting in, ordering, or getting our food without much delay until, about the past 5 or 6 months, (ever since the remodeling was done)service is not good at all, and the orders plus trying to pay at the register is a joke., this morning was the straw that broke the camels back I guess. The waitress, really not all her fault, but it was the kitchen we think., we got in at 9:45, did not get our food until about 10:30 or so, and then 2 people never did get theirs., orders were not right either., never once did the manager come by to see if everything was ok or nothing., she is a joke too., it seems as though the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.
I personnaly think that it is the Mgrs responsibility to keep track with what is going on in her restaurant.

I am sorry, I normally don't complain about things of this matter, but we all agree that management should know what is going on in the Marion, Il Bob Evans Restaurant

Did the manager reach in his pants and groan while looking at your daughters? In most parts of the world, 16 and 18 year old women are married with a couple of kids. If you don't want any one to look at your daughters put them in burkhas. However, it is probably more to do with WHO was looking. Had "Steve the Manager" been 22, athletic, and good-looking you probably would have thought it a compliment to your good genes that he took notice of your daughters. You might have even given him your daughters' cell phone numbers. Give poor "Steve the Manager" a break! He came into puberty when the halls of his high school were swarming with teenage pheromones, and it was considered acceptable (and probably even desirable) that he would take notice. Poor "Steve the Manager" is probably prematurely aged and lonely due to his crappy job. Were your daughters 6 and 8, then you would have a legitimate gripe. They are 16 and 18, pumping out pheromones, and looking fine. The usual clientele of Bob Evans is 50+, and he probably doesn't make even $10/hr. Bob Evans gets what they pay for, and so did you. He wasn't expecting two nubile young women to come into his restaurant. The poor guy was powerless to their charms. Take it as a compliment and shrug it off. To make matters worse, you didn't leave poor Chris a tip. Or is it that he didn't notice you, and you feel cheated?

ive been at bobs 22 years and i can tell u bobs dont care about anyone just $

Ordered wildfire chicken salad and Cobb salad to go. When arrived home to eat it found each salad had large chunks of salad from the middle of head of lettuce—unable to eat. The salads both didn't seem to be of quality as in the past. We love Bob Evans but very disappointed today. (3/09/20)

Containers pardon my language s**k! Comes in PERFECTLY SEALED BOX.. but open it up and most of them have been broke and cracked...biscuits are PERFECTLY SEALED all the time...

how can we work together and fix this very important issue...I love biscuits and gravy but will only buy jimmy dean because of this...

Thank you

I purchased one of your microwave mashed potatoes and I noticed there were some dark, hard particles in the food. We've never experienced something like this with your food. We've been buying your products for years and after this, we are not buying your products anymore.

Less than 2 bites of roast beef.

Sat at the counter and ordered 2 eggs over easy and biscuits. After 16 minutes, I was informed that it would be 22 minutes for biscuits. That is a poorly managed place when it takes 16 minutes let only almost 40 because you run out of biscuits.

Why would you make paying customers wait for 30 minutes instead of cleaning tables? Staff just standing around. Wow. We left along with others and went to Cracker Barrel where tables are cleaned immediately.

Sex offenders and abusers should not be aloud to work here! he's the cook and a disgusting one at that...

This was the second one brought to me and looked terrible and had no filling and was very nasty. It didn't taste done and very clumpy, and only had 2 pieces of strawberries on it.
