Despite its many shortcomings I eat here every so often out of necessity. Everyone on the way home looking for a quick bite after work is likely thinking the same thing. Bob Evans has unfulfilled potential and is losing this market.
This is a dinner review.
The good: the new "broasted" chicken is juicy and delicious. The rest of the stuff on the menu is served hot and fresh. Broccoli sides are fresh not frozen or canned. Mashed potatoes ok. Service is good -- the servers are friendly.
The bad: canned string beans, floor needs vacuuming and looks gross. If the previous occupant made a mess, please clean the floor of the booth for the next customer, not just the table.
The ugly: the bathroom smelled like the previous occupant suffered an "ailment" in there. Yup, it must have been a "condition".
These are all symptoms of cost cutting I think.
