My mother, my daughter and arrived at the restaurant around 11:20 on sunday 10/22, we gather at this location every sunday to eat following service and have been doing so for many years. We have met quite a few familiar faces and seen some go as well. We...

On Oct. 21, 20223 my wife and I entered in the Bob Evans restaurant in Troy, Ohio at 4:00 pm and we were waiting to be noticed and seated. As I waited I realized they were not that busy, and there was no one at the front counter willing to greet us. I observed at least (3) employees whom I feel made some sort of eye contact with me, but never acknowledged me and my wife waiting to be seated. I waited a few more minutes and realized that none of the people I seen walking around were willing to greet us, and we promptly left. I noticed another couple come into the restaurant after we walked out and I'm pretty sure they had the same experience as I did because they showed up at the same restaurant my wife and I were at shortly after we arrived at this other restaurant. I live in Troy, and my opinion is your customer service at this store is pathetic. If I'm correct about this other couple, Bob Evans lost at least $80.00 in sales within a 15 minute period, "Hey, it's your business" maybe you ought to try hiring people that actually care about their job and your customers, again, I repeat, "They were not that busy!"
Desired outcome: ADDRESS THE SITUATION, give me and my wife a free meal
Corporate contact
Called four different numbers provided for Bob Evans corporate contact numbers. Each number lead you to some person who cannot understand English and when they try to speak it, I cannot understand them. Ask for supervisor three days in a row at different times I was told every time they are in a meeting. Since I could not speak to a supervisor or someone who could speak and understand English clearly, I called the Health Department on three different stores. One in Kalamazoo, Michigan on Westnedge Avenue. One in Florence Ky. on US 42. one in Fort Wright, Kentucky on orphanage Road. All three bathrooms had urine on the floor and did not look like they were cleaned for months. When I complained about a puddle down the floor they brought in a caution, wet floor sign. The next day I went back the floor was still puddled with urine.
Service
My friend and I were just in Bob Evans early afternoon Monday 10/9/23 around 12:00. We had to wait a little while to be seated. When we finally got seated. The server came to take our drinks and she brought our drinks. She then took our order. Over a half hour went by and I noticed everyone else had gotten their food but us. Some of them had the same server...

Good morning, we're long-time fans of BE. We've even traveled to OH to the Farm! We ate at the restaurant at 625 Commercial Dr, Lansing MI last evening. The food was not good. I could not find a customer comment card. The potatoes were runny, I LOVE your potatoes, I go there just for your potatoes, I buy them in the store to have at home. The gravy wa...

Almost every restaurant we have been in is freezing. We complained but are told they have no control over the thermostat. Yesterday we went to a restaurant at 960 E Dublin Granville Road, Columbus, Oh 43229. We took a thermometer with us and it was only 63 degrees in there. The cold air hit you when u walked in the door. The host at the front counter agreed with us but said nobody would change it. It is very hard to eat and enjoy your meal when u are freezing.
Desired outcome: Turn up the heat!
Microwaveable mashed potatoes
Opened the container and heated it up and I see a bunch of these big brownish green chunks in the potatoes, that look like huge hard boogers, I know this is not pepper. I took some out to look at them and cut them. They were hard and disgusting looking. I cannot eat this stuff, it looks so nasty. How can they sell stuff like this! Right down disgusting!
Food received
My husband and I visited the Lancaster, Ohio location on September 29th at 2:00pm, placed our order which we didn't receive until approximately 2:45 (after a couple who arrived about ten minutes after us received theirs) only for my dinner to be barely warm with the exception of my mac and cheese. Our order was very simple; I ordered a dinner bell plate...
Read full complaintMashed sweet potato 22oz
We love the mashed potato and mashed sweet potato and the convenience the
prepackaged product provides.
A recently purchased Mashed Sweet potato (sell by Oct 28,2023) was microwave cooked per instructions but the consistency of the product was like thick soup. Way to watery to serve as a potato.
Not servable and was discarded.
Was only stored in refrigerator for 2 days before cooking
Desired outcome: Is there some way you can replace this product?
Poor service and wait time
On 09/03/23 at 2:30 my husband and I stopped at the Waynesburg, PA store. We each ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. A half hour later we were still waiting for our food! Once ready the manager brought our meals out an never even apologized for how long it took. Our waitress (the itimized receipt says Katelyn and the pmt receipt says Ashley) was more concerned with her own family at another table. She was constantly carrying and holding her child, talking with them and spending more time with them than her other customers. She never asked if we wanted drink refills or coffee and dessert. Obviously more concerned about others! The table behind us was full of dirty dishes and remained that way our intire stay! Unacceptable for this restaurant!
Desired outcome: Should have been compensated for poor service![protected]@yahoo.com
Family size mashed potatoes
First I want to say 3 yrs. ago, I had brain surgery, I had difficulty swallowing. Bob Evans mashed potatoes was something I could eat and I fell in love with them. The last 2 times I purchased them, 1 a lot of black specks and chunks of potatoes. They didn't taste the same. Has something changed. If so, you need to go back to the original. I probably won't purchase for awhile. Thank you

I ordered the new rancher barbecue beef dinner the beef was on top of crispy baby potatoes no they weren’t They were soft mush This is the worst meal I have ever had from Bob Evans and I pay my $15 and not be able to eat that meal I can send you a picture of what I got, and a picture of what it should have look like and there is no way, I almost threw up even trying to eat this food. Someone needs to know how to fix crispy potatoes. I would appreciate an answer back to this because this is awful and I eat at Bob Evans a lot, but this is the worst it has ever been.

Carry out food not acceptable
Carry out check #890069 Some soups and salad along with additional sides and dinner rolls. The sides were less than half full in their small containers. The carrots were black colored and obviously not edible. The dinner rolls were rock hard stale. Called and asked for the manager (Rachael), who started telling me she was not surprised. I stopped her right...
Read full complaintMashed potatoes
I purchased this product at Giant grocery store in Walnutport PA. On [protected] I prepared the potatoes. There were black bits all through the potatoes and one large black hard piece the size of a peanut as I was starting to dish it out. Before I could scrape it all in the trash someone had taken a bite and said it tasted like mold or chemicals. After reading a complaint thread I see this has been a problem for years that hasn't been corrected.
Desired outcome: Compensation for product and cost of a replacement product of a different brand
Celebration ruined by ignored table
On Wednesday last week we went to Bob Evans at about 1:45 pm. We were celebrating my husband's being cancer free. We were so happy, when we got there the lot was almost empty but there was a couple going in, so we followed. When we got in the couple was seated. We had to wait about 10 minutes. They finally seated us and took our drink order. The waitress by...

Today I visited store #226 in my Hilliard Ohio. We were seated after about 25 minutes and directed to a booth. My 2 year old climbed in and sat down and immediately the front part of the bench lifted up completely came off and my daughter fell into the inside of the bench. She was screaming and crying in fear. I pulled her out, consoled her and then took...

I often take my parents out to eat at the Warren Ohio location and everytime I get “Mike” as a waiter it is the worst experience. He never greets us until he is ready to take our order and half the time we never receive our drinks until after our food comes. After we’re done eating (without being checked on once) he tries to force us to buy desserts from...
