Bob Evans lousy baked potato and awful pot roast sandwich combo

The baked potato was so old that it was hard as a rock, over steamed, and had dried out to the point I spent my eating time trying to find any part of the potato that was worth eating. Then the sandwich came and it was nothing but carrots.

I have the ticket #: MID:[protected], dated 12/20/19 at 1:14 PM at table 14/4 with Kellie as server.

I complained before and got an email saying the manager of the restaurant would be in touch...that was 5 days ago. Unless he is thinking of contacting me by carrier pigeon he isn't going to take the time.

I will never eat in your restaurant again. I also purchased a loaf of pumpkin bread and when I got it home, it was so dry and old my husband said to throw it away, which I did. Total ticket including a tip was $17.98. I am retired on a pension and cannot afford to throw money away on bad food.

Everyone who is commenting my husband beat me up because of this. Did you know that. My husband beat me up over this. He was so upset that he started drinking. We then got into an argument and he beat me up. He blamed me for what happened.

With your rude and sarcastic attitude I doubt they want you back. So by not returning everyone wins.

I see. You find my attitude unacceptable? I find your comments inappropriate because you have no idea just what my attitude is or isn't. You don't know me from a pile of dirt so until you have spent your hard earned money and gotten lousy service and lousy food, I would be interested in just what you would do or say.

You are absolutely right. I should have spoken up immediately. I just couldn't believe a restaurant would serve such awful food. The longer I was away from that food the madder I got. I have complained to BE Corporate office the day this happened. I had no idea the pumpkin bread was so old and dried out as it had an expiration date in February, 2020. I guess what really honked me off was the fact that I had looked forward to sitting down with a group of my friends and enjoying a good lunch and was sorely disappointed.

Do me a favor...if no one should put up with me why are you doing so? Don't you have anything else to do with your time than make remarks about a person you don't know?

He was the one I purchased the bread for so when he said it wasn't fit to eat, I took him at his word. I am still waiting to hear from the local BE's manager. I received an email from Corporate that he would contact me about my complaint. I have a feeling he won't contact me at all. It is hard to apologize to an 78 year old customer who has a complaint.

My attitude is just fine. Never had any complaints from my friends and all those I worked with over the last 50 years. You and Shadow both apparently have a problem with a strong, independent woman. What 2 strangers think of me is not worth a tinker's damn to me. Bye, bye.

There was no proof. A lot of these people lie and claim their food was terrible. Then they eat the food that was "stale" and :hard" and demand a refund. There was nothing wrong with her food.

Also when I purchased the bread which was stale, I purchased it for him. He was so upset by the stale bread that he started drinking. Then he beat me up. WE were arguing. He beat me up. He called me the B word and said that if I check the bread for staleness this would not have happened. He said it was my fault the bread was stale and dry.

Bob Evans bob evans original mashed potatoes

We bought 2 packs of potato's yesterday as we normally do, the first one was very clumpy and would not cook right, and the second one was the same. In the second pack of potato's we found a piece of plastic about an inch long that could've cut someone's mouth if eaten. We are so disturbed and disgusted.We have never seen that in these potato's and do not want to continue to buy them.

I ordered the shunshine skillet and it came out just as scrambled eggs and hash browns. Our server Tina took it back to the kitchen because she knew it wasn't made correctly and the cook told her it was so she brought it back and I said well I at least want cheese so she brought me a side of cold cheese. She did have the manager stop by which again said it...

Bob Evans restaurant was very dirty

After the seater wiped off the table we used our own "Wet Ones" to clean the table while other staff watched and smiled. The table was sticky with syrup and had been wiped off with a sour smelling cloth that left a residue. Fortunately I wiped off my chair before sitting on something greasy.

The floor was filthy and had neither been swept nor vacuumed. It was the same under nearby tables which had not been cleared of dirty dishes. There were very few people in the restaurant when we visited at 6:00 pm on 12/1/2019.

My wife ordered a salad which was supposed to have hot grilled chicken. The chicken was cold and very dry. I ordered the steak/egg Benedict. I asked to have the eggs over medium, the steak medium, and asked to have all peppers and onions deleted. The eggs were slimy and not done, the steak was well done tough and dry, the the entire Benedict was covered with peppers and onions.

The server was gracious and apologetic, we did not see a manager. We drove 20 miles to Wapakoneta from our home for our Sunday meal at Bob Evans. We were very disappointed. My wife and I work part time in food service and we are often responsible for the cleanliness of a dining area. I do not think our comments are unjust. I will be submitting a complaint to the Health Department as I can only guess about the cleanliness in the food preparation area.

We have eaten at this restaurant for years without concern. You have a serious management issue. When I posted on local Facebook many others reported problems at the Wapakoneta restaurant.

First of all, I stood there waiting to be seated. I was told "we will get with you" with no welcome. Then they bypassed me and seated a couple who came in after me. I waited at my table for a while and finally got some coffee. It was like pulling teeth to get a refill. Poor waitress was overworked and I heard the age old expression "we're understaffed". The...

Bob Evans manager

After reading all of the other complaints and reviews, I don't expect that my complaint go far.
On Saturday morning 11/23/19, I placed an online order for a family meal, for later (6:00PM). When I submitted my order, the confirmation pick up was 10:00AM. The location is, 1101 Louis and Clark Parkway Clarksville, Indiana 47129. I immediately called to point out the problem, and was given the manager. I told him about the issue. His response was " the order is already being prepared, I guess we will have to throw it away. Next time call as soon as it happens.) I informed him that I did call as soon as it happened. He disputed that. I asked him if he was calling me a liar. I mean, why would I lie about that? He told me to take my business elsewhere. Ok, that works for me. My average order is $30.00 per visit. Believe me, I am passing this info to everyone, and I know a lot of people nationwide. Customer service no longer exists in the fast food industry, and one by one, the restaurants disappear. I hope Bob Evans goes away in the very near future.

We were at the 2199 Riverside Dr. location in Upper Arlington (#414) on 11-15-19 around 6:15 pm.
The server, Collen, was polite, but service wasn't good.
1. Didn't receive our rolls
2. Server let us run out of drinks
3. Server didn't come back to the table until giving us our bill and pick up our plates
4. Server spilled my coffee putting it onto the table. It was just a little, but when putting our dinner down was a little harsh putting onto the table.
5. I wasn't asked if I needed creamer either.
I only gave a 5% tip because of this, but normally give 20%.
Let me say the food was great.
Just wanted to share so you can help out this young man.
We will go back to this location for the food.

Bob Evans bob evans roll sausage

On Nov 5 2019, I made a purchase of your sausage. So next morning I open package and saw something with a dark red substance, my stomach got upset & I was nauseous rest of morning! I'm not sure about your product at this point in time. I need some type of payment for the inconvenience and time & money for product & transportation back to store where I made the purchase! Very disappointed customer of many years!

Bob Evans mashed potatoes.

I actually usually love their mashed potatoes but these has some weird thing in it almost like a nail it was gross! Now can't eat them. I literally didn't swallow the bite in my mouth! I spit it out. I literally just bought them a two days ago and they weren't even close to expiration. I scared to eat anymore. Has anyone had this problem? It almost looks like a stick or a nail.

Bob Evans all the food was lukewarm. the only thing was good was the salad

I ordered Turkey and dressing and all of it was luke warm there were other people saying that there mashed potatoes were cold. Every time I go in to store #94. Everything is warm including the coffee. I quit going to the Norwalk store because of the same thing. So that being said I'm not going back to the Sandusky store either because it's the same [censored] ever time. I used to love going there. But not any more

Bob Evans servi e

My wife and I recently went to your restuarant in florence ky. I was amazed at how bad the service was. We were told the wait would be 15 and we waited over an hour. The worst part was there was hardly anyone eating in the restaurant. Most of the employees were in the parking lot smoking and laughing while everyone waited. I'm not sure what happened but this is by far the worst restaurant in the florence ky area now. I've also sent a letter the mayor of the city to look into possible drug use in the building. My hope is something is done soon. It used to be a great family restaurant that is now a hole in the wall.
