Bob Evans

Hands down the best food and excellent customer service, we've had in a long time. Kristen (server) took great care of us. Family of 5, (3 small kids) in a busy restaurant, which was probably understaffed on Easter Sunday, but they had the A Team. No skeleton crew here. Kristen (hope I'm spelling name right), seems like the mom who truly gets just how hard it is to take the whole family out for dinner and accommodates to that level. The food portions were very generous. Needless to say that we left with a to go box. I ordered thinking that the portion sizes were similar to cracker barrel, but they were probably double that. I thought after the past 2 years, customer service, work ethic, hospitality were all dead, but nope-still alive and thriving at Bob Evans!

(Look, you can have your first dates at upscale restaurants, or other places that cost more, but we ended up at a Bob's because it was convenient and she already knew that the atmosphere inside was good for having conversations with the other people at your table or booth. So, if you're interested in affordable food, good conversation, and a convenient location, Bob's is a solid pick.) So. This location. Good to go. Busy? Oh, yeah, but not as much as the Wild Eggs or First Watch in the general vicinity of this Bob's. I've been twice in the last few weeks and, both times, it was for breakfast on a weekend morning. (For the most-recent trip with my wife and in-laws, we drove past First Watch, saw the jam-pac
