| - We have visited this Bob Evans location for breakfast several times over the past month or so. I am mystified by the ratings here on YELP. Our experiences have been nothing but favorable (although we have only dined here for breakfasts).
I left home with a craving for breakfast on a weekday morning one day last month. I drove by the restaurant near our home because, although it opens at 7:00 AM, it was still closed - it was 10 after seven...
I decided to eat at Bob Evans and I'm glad I did! The restaurant was bright, clean and buzzing with activity! The hostess looked to be college aged - as did many of the staff. Everyone I encountered was happy and awake. As a (dreadful) "morning person" I appreciate this.
My waitress was amazing! She gave me time to relax with my coffee and read my book until I had time to look at the menu. By the way, the ice water at this restaurant is delicious!! The ice is fresh and doesn't taint the flavor of the water.
Several patrons at adjacent tables were entertaining clients at early morning meetings or heading out to construction projects. The waitstaff easily adjusted to all manner of diners.
I ordered coffee with milk, ice water, an omelette, hash browns and a buttermilk biscuit. I "created my own omelette" with diced ham, jack cheese, onions, tomatoes and jalapenos. I enjoyed my meal! The omelette was beautiful - gooey cheese, fluffy eggs, saute'ed onions - hot and steamy throughout! The jalapenoes were FAR too hot for me however (I diced them up in tiny bits and reintroduced them to my omelette in order to enjoy every ounce of them). My buttermilk biscuits were served warm but the butter hadn't adequately melted on the tops. I prefer my butter to be melted into the bread rather than have "softened butter" spread over a warm biscuit. My husband prefers his toast/biscuits the same way. My hash browns were slightly cool but I enjoyed those last (I eat one thing at a time).
My husband and I ate here again on Sunday morning. Great service, delicious food and happy employees! Oh, and the price is right for breakfast.
Other area diners tend to be hit-or-miss with waitstaff who are cantankerous at 7:00 in the morning... I don't need the attitude when I'm on my way to work.
I'm happy that we finally discovered "breakfast at Bob Evans".
