Review of Bob Evans Restaurant

Bob Evans Restaurants are stand-alone sit down ' restaurants with a partially visible kitchen and prep ' area . The exterior was well lit and the parking lot was large with ample handicapped ' access . The area directly in front and on one side of the facility was nicely landscaped with a variety of well-tended annual flowers and plants

There are three separate dining areas : one designated for smoking , one for non-smoking and a diner-style ' counter area . All interior furnishings

All service was very prompt and there were no tables with used dishes , they were cleared as soon as the customer finished and then with the customer left . Garbage areas were out of sight and there was no unpleasant odor

Restrooms had only the faint odor of an air freshener . The restaurant displayed an A ' rating as required

This is a chain of restaurants and the quality and care is nothing short of outstanding . This is likely the result of the very active management . There were at least three managers present on the floor at all times . However , they obviously did not stress out ' the wait staff - it was quite the opposite as they were constantly helping out The camaraderie of the entire staff was evident . Wait staff and management were very efficient yet had time to chat ' with customers Managers checked each table at least once to determine if everything was all right and to check for refills . The food was excellent , very much home style ' cooking with very ample portions and a very fair price

There was absolutely no indication of any sort of pests , and there were no heavy chemical odors indicating insecticides . It was...
