Thanksgiving farm feast
My daughter ordered and paid in avanced 101.00 for this meal. We have had it other times for thanksgiving and were very pleased with it. When she paid for it, she told the cashier she needed to pick it up the night before thanksgiving around 7:30pm, she had to be at work at 8:00am on thanksgiving.A very close friend of hers from another country was going to have his first thanksgiving dinner in the u.S. With us. After working a ten hour day she came home to finally enjoy thanksgiving. Any other farm feast we have ordered in the past the turkey was cooked and sliced. Not this time, it was in a bag, wasn't sliced, wasn't cooked. If a turkey is cooked it wouldn't be pink. Almost 2.5 hours later it was cooked ready to eat. We all sat down grateful to be able to enjoy are meal. Everything was going good until i pulled what i thought was a small bone and i just set it aside and continued to enjoy the meal. Next, our guest pulled something out of his mouth, it was a piece of plastic. What i had put aside after looking at it, it to was a small piece of plastic. I ended up with 4 pieces of plastic that were found in the mash potatoes. It ended up that we had at least 6 to 7 pieces of plastic from one mash potato container. These plastic pieces range in size from a dime to at least 1 inch long. Needless to say, the mash potatoes were found to be less appealing. God forbid if one of us swallowed these plastic pieces. Going back to the night she went to pick up the dinner, she called from the parking lot to have them bring it out. When she did call the person on the phone told her it couldn't be picked up tonight only on thanksgiving. She told the person she had made special arrangements to pick it up in the evening due to work. They asked her if she had a confirmation number which she said yes, it's on my phone. An older man came out looked at her phone and went inside to get her meal. When he came out, he put it in the back seat, she told him to wait, she wanted to check it, his response was you do whatever you want with it, waved his arm as to brush her off and went inside. No thank you, no have a good night, or a happy thanksgiving, nothing. She checked the bag and found that she was missing a dozen of dinner rolls.So she went inside to get them, came back to the car and said they didn, t even say they were sorry. We have never had a problem with bob evans, that wasn't resolved to are satisfaction. But not this, the manager at this bob evans in montrose ohio off of route 18, said he couldn't give us a full refund, but he would give us another container of mash potatoes, and a dozen of rolls. He broke down and offered a 25.00 gift card, but it just felt like a slap in the face. What if one of us would have swallowed a piece of the plastic maybe it could have done some kind of harm to are throat are even are intestines. That would have cost more than the meal itself. As a family, we have been going to this bob evans for over 30 years. Some of the waitresses, have known us for a long time too. It seems to me this manager doesnm't care to much about his customers. He is not friendly, or people oriented and lacks good customer service. We still feel that we should get a full refund considering, what happened, what could have happened, and ruining are thanksgiving dinner. By the way we do have a snack bag with the plastic pieces. Maybe they should check the beaters before using them.
Desired outcome: FULL REFUND
Pork Sausage Links (Maple)
Picked up your product at our local Meijer grocery. We normally use Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage but thought we would try yours as it was on sale and it was supposedly maple flavor.
Not only did it not have the eye appeal it lacked any type of maple flavor.
I don't know if this was an isolated package but doubt that I would buy it again.
Desired outcome: Comments regarding the difference between Bob Evans and a competitor like Johnsonville.
CALL IN ORDER 11/25/21
I picked up an order on thanks giving day, hoping for a great meal. Instead i found almost no turkey in the container and the little that was, very very salty. I could not possibly enjoy this meal .Other components were also salty. It seems to me that your employees concentrated more on getting the orders done, than the quality of the food itself. This was on check # 970001 bob evans on 7105 n. Aurora rd, ohio. Inv ref # [protected]. I would like your input in this matter so i can remain a repeat bob evens customer. Thank you judith gutreich . 32463 jefferson dr. Solon ohio 44139

Ordered a child's chicken tender meal. The chicken was a breaded patty that was so over cooked and black in places from a dirty grill that my grandson refused to eat it after tasting. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Also, overcooked with the same black burnt crusty stuff from the grill as the chicken. The hamburger was not edible. I ended up throwing almost...

Letting people ahead of us for sitting
My wife and I went to the bob Evans store in Mayfield Ohio on 11/14/2021 at 11:30 am. My wife put our names down to be seated. Two white men came in and they were automatically put ahead of us and some other people. One gentleman confronted the lady who was doing the sitting and clearly explained that they have been waiting and those guys who just came were suppose to get behind the line. Although the way she treated them it seems ther is a relationship there. So the scheduler capitulated and started sitting people in order. Once it came to us, she decided to sit the other guys first instead of us and another couple. When she came back I questioned her on this move and she just blew it off. If this is how bob Evans operates in the year 2021 then the racial issues that are plaguing our country will never be resolved. This must end, and if you do condone this behavior then myself and my many business associates will not patronize your restaurant ever again.
Desired outcome: training for the employee
Food at port Charlotte
We went to Port Charlotte Bob Evans on Tamiami trail on Oct 22 in the afternoon. We ordered and waited over an hour and they told us the computer crashed or some bs and wrote the order and it was the worst food I have ever eaten in a restaurant and we will never be back my name is Scott Freeland and my number is +[protected]. This was the most rude and I don't care about you or your family meal ever . Other people just walked out
Desired outcome: My 36 dollars back I spent for garbage I did not eat
spicy roll sausage

Chicken Noodle Soup at the location on W Tuscarawas street in Canton, Ohio.
This was the worst chicken noodle soup I have ever tasted. Apparently they have changed the noodles they use and it was like slimy soup. They previously used the noodles that looked homemade like Reames frozen noodles. In addition to the horrible noodles there wasn't any flavor at all. Never again will we eat at a Bob Evans. Everything we have eaten there in the last 6 months tasted like garbage. Such a shame because at one time they were great!
Desired outcome: Just fix your food,
In person order for take out dinners
ON 10/19/2021 around 2:05 pm, I stopped at the Bob Evans in Jackson Ohio to purchase 2 dinners for take out, plus a pecan pie, I ordered the FORK-TENDER POT ROAST and the SLOW-ROASTED TURKEY & DRESSING, we got it home both orders looked as if it was thrown into the covered tray, gravy coming from under the lid, the carrots were uncooked, the trukey had no cranberries, must have been 20 soup spoons not other utensils or napkins both meals were very sloppy and unpresentable to anyone, the lid on the pie was broken, I carried the food in the bag as it was handed to me and put it in the seat of my vehicle and drove home I used a gift card there is no reason for this poor service. I am getting more and more frustrated with BOB Evans restaurants the food and service is very poor.
Desired outcome: I want a refund and the staff corrected
Macaroni and Cheese
My husband came home late from the grocery store with store made chicken and Bob Evans Mac and Cheese. It used to be a go to for quick suppers but last night, it smelled funny, my husband said it tasted fine (he'll eat anything!) but I almost puked after a couple of bites. When I said it tasted curdled, it was WWII as if I accused him of messing up the reheat! Thanks Bob Evans for ruining my dinner and maybe my marriage with your vomit inducing, fake expiration Mac & Cheese!
Desired outcome: Better QC
Staff
I ordered the family meal and when I arrived to pick it up I went to the door that was supposed to be out and I could hear the staff say duh. Kinda left me debating whether or not to proceed in to get my order or just leave.
Totally disappointed with staff I should have said something when. I went inside but I was so angry I didn't think it was appropriate.

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
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.
Terrible experience
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...

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
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!!!
Service, or lack thereof
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...

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.
