The dinner bell plate
I ordered a carry out 7/5/2022
Time:3:57 pm
Grilled chicken it was very thin very small the mash potatoes and gravy was very good the carrots were very good I got biscuits with it they were as hard as a rock my dinner was 8.29 I was very disappointed the restaurant was in Waverly, Ohio
Desired outcome: Please have your people check the food before serving im a senior citizen I live on a small bowl income eating out is a treat for me I can't afford to pay for food that's poor quality I would like a refund
Mashed potatoes
Small black and brown chunks in my Bob Evans Family Mashed Potatos. Absolutely repulsive. I'm not sure if its mold or small insects.
Desired outcome: I request three free family sized bob evans non-infested mashed potato boxes shipped to my apartment.
Macaroni & Cheese 2 single servings
I am a great fan of this tasty snack, as my family is. One of my two packages contains maybe 5-6 macroni. I was dismayed, never happened before.
Desired outcome: I would appreciate a replacement.
Changes
People come to expect certain things at an established restaurant or any service /store/restaurant. I ordered pancakes this morning and customer service was great, efficiency was great, but when I got home and looked at the pancakes I felt totally ripped off! The pancakes were much thinner and about 1/2 the diameter. Is it really such a huge difference in profit margin for pancakes? It seems like a horrible idea from a marketing standpoint. People have gone to your restaurants for years and are used to things being a certain way. Do you think giving people a lot less for the same or more money will help your bottom line? I don't know who thinks up these changes but to me it seems like it will hurt your chain tremendously.
Desired outcome: of course if i had to do it again i would make my own pancakes because it wasn't worth the money, driving there or feeling totally taken advantage of:(
Customer service
Yesterday 28 May 2022 my husband and I visited Bob Evan’s Restaurant 7670 Brandt Pike, Dayton, Ohio 45424 around 12:30 pm. After we entered the door we stood with another couple at the podium waiting to be seated. We stood there for probably 4-5 minutes with absolutely no one even acknowledging that we were waiting. One elderly waitress walked forward and backwards behind the counter like she didn’t even know what she was doing completely ignoring us. Another couple of other waitresses proceeded to walk behind the counter and never even glanced in our direction. Even the manager came out of the kitchen and cashed out a couple of customers and never even raised his eyes to look in our direction or acknowledge us! My husband and I turned around and went next door to Frisch’s. This Bob Evan’s establishment is failing miserably in customer service!
Desired outcome: Discount coupon
I am sorry to say that I inadvertently posted an incorrect address for the Bob Evan’s I visited. The correct address is 22 N Weller Dr. Tipp City, Ohio 45371 Thank you.
Service
5/27/2022, 1:45pm. We went in for lunch. No one was waiting but seats were probably 1/2 filled. Manager finally came up and acknowledged us about 5 mins after standing there. Her & 2 other employees were wrapping silverware. Seated about 10 mins later. Sat at the first booth, closest to the waitress work station. We sat there for 15 mins! No one said a word to us. No, I’ll be right with you. Waitress kept walking by making no eye contact. The table across from us even commented to us about not being waited on. This was absolutely ridiculous! Went down the road to CTOWN Wings and was seated immediately.
Food delivered to table minus one of my vegetables
I have had problems with delivery from Bob Evans, no rolls and butter, and last time no carrots with my order. Called the store , mgr said I would get a credit back to my credit card, it never happened. Called Bob Evans Offices and woman apologized and sent me a $15.00 Gift Card. I figured I had to redeem the card in person, so eating at the restaurant they would have to get my order right. WRONG! The waitress brought my food out , minus carrots, telling me they were still cooking. She wanted to leave my food at the table, I told her, if I start eating the carrots would come at end of meal. I advised her to please take my order back to keep it warm as it would have gotten cold waiting for my carrots. The order finally came out, The food was okay but I will never eat at Bob Evans again. Inconsistent service in delivery and in person.
Desired outcome: No action required, I will not eat at Bob Evans again!
Mashed potatoes
Me and my fiance went to meijers and purchased these we fixed them for our dinner only to find black things the size of beans all in it very grossed out we have always loved them and never had a problem with them but now we are really disgusted
Desired outcome: To be ok not get sick and fix the problem
Order messed up
I called in 4 separate orders for work 1 order was completely correct 2 didn't have the extra sauces they asked for. And mine was an omelet and I said no onion or tomatoes it had onions in it. And they gave me my jelly for my toast but didn't give me my toast. And my home frys were burnt luckily I got 2 eggs on the side or i wouldn't have had anything to eat
Not getting all my food and then being on hold for 23 minutes
We placed the order online. When my husband went to pick it up the meal, he called for curbside and was in hold for 10 minutes. He went in and told them to answer their phone and was told that it was to loud to hear the phone ring. When he got home, we saw that our fruit was not in the bag. I called to tell them that. I was put on hold to speak to a manager...

corporate decisions
We stopped at the Bob Evans in New Albany on Mother's Day. We knew there would be a wait and were willing to accept the situation. We go to this restaurant very frequently because the staff are excellent. We love this restaurant. We were willing to wait and settled in. More and more people came in. What happened was the restaurant were receiving so many orders coming in from online that the kitchen was completely overwhelmed. So much so that there was a 2 to 3 hour wait. Your in person customers could not be seated or accommodated. The machine was not to be turned off or orders not accepted so the kitchen became totally useless. Nobody was being serviced in an appropriate manner. NO ISSUE WITH THE MANAGER. HE DID HIS VERY BEST TO PRESENT BOB EVANS RESTAURANT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT. I felt bad because your wait staff were denied any tips they would have received after they came to work expecting a busy but rewarding day. You owe them some consideration.
The food
Just had dinner at the weirton,WV Bob Evans there were 4 of us and it was the worst meal ever, and it cost me $65.00. Food tasted old and very dry. Dinner rolls were old and hard had to be sent back,replaced rolls weren't much better.All the way around it was just an awful tasting meal for all of us. Usually our meals are very good.

Centerville location on Friday, May 6 at 5:30pm. My husband placed an order online and I went to pick it up. When I arrived, they told me it was already picked up, and I told them that was not possible. They accused me of lying, refused to remake the food and gas lit me over whether I knew if the food had actually been picked up. The manger was rude
Desired outcome: An apology, which I was never given, a refund, and the next meal free. You should also change your pick up procedure to require ID, as we were robbed by someone and they stole our food.
Sausage
I purchase last Friday Bob Evans Sausage as I always do for weekend breakfast and when I took it out of the package it had black all over the bottom of the sausage, needless to say I threw it away wasn't going to feed it to my family.
Was purchased at Meijer in Milford Oh 45150
Not sure if if was bad no expired and or if it was from the black tray it was in.
Thanks for you time.

Manager
The male hostess/manager at Bob Evans on SR60 in Vero Beach sweats profusely on the tables, carpet and is seating people. We have already filed a complaint at the store. Being that this is a restaurant, I am surprised this is not known about. We love Bob Evans but find the host’s sweating problem appalling.
Desired outcome: New hostess
Server Marissa
I went out to eat with my children at Fostoria Bob Evans and Marissa was our server she was so high she was nodding out taking our order her eyes kept shutting and opening. My kids kept asking mom is she tired. I told them yes. But I’m reality she was sniffling, nose running and her eyes kept shutting. The service was terrible and if you as a company cannot...
Read full review of Bob EvansService and cleanliness
First we were told 15 min wait,"ok" while waiting, the girl doing register, bagging to go orders, wrapping silver ware. She never once between task cleaned or sanitized her hands! While wrapping silverware in front of all customers waiting to be seated, grabbed silverware by the end that goes in our mouths after bagging, touching her hair, handling money and writing down people's names. Never once seen her clean her hands! Also never once after handling menus wipe then or clean her hands. We were seated! I sanitized my menus and tables was dirty! After she cleaned and sat us, I sat there for 10 minutes then seen them seat people who came after us! She then took there drink orders we have not even was asked about drinks. Waitress proceeded and we still was not waited on. After 40 minutes we got up and walked out! Tried calling waited on hold for 7 minutes, only to realize no one is gonna answer! This is not acceptable service, not to mention unsanitary conditions! Unreal! Never again!
Desired outcome: Correct it! Why is she wrapping silverware in front?? And why grab by the head of silver ware! How awful! Wipe down menus after each customer. Service in order.
Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes
Opened and heated up two different containers of the bob evans mashed potatoes and when stirring them I noticed there were large black foreign objects in the potatoes that are not potatoes and might be either mold or something disgusting. Almost looks like a roach. We had to throw all of the potatoes away out of fear of getting sick from this substance inside them.
Desired outcome: Refund on two containers of potatoes
Found a black foreign object in the Bob Evans Original mashed potatoes that I just had purchased. I ate the potatoes because this black thing was toward the end of the package and did not see it until close to finishing them. I first thought it was part of a potato skin or eye of a potato, but it is nothing I've ever seen before. Use by 5/24/22 KOL1; bar code # [protected]; it will be a very long time before I purchase Bob Evans mashed potatoes, probably never. I plan to bag it and send it to corporate so they can determine what it is. And we've eaten these mashed potatoes for years.
