Bob Evans

The staff was courteous and attentive. The food was delicious. The chicken sandwich although basic was moist and with fresh vegetables.nThe eggs no matter how ordered are wonderful and exactly as ordered.nThe Chesterton Indiana location is great!

Just picked up our Farmhouse Feast for the third year in a row. The food is always excellent and so easy to prepare. So worth the price !! This is the ONLY way to go for Thanksgiving ! Love it !!

Coffee was weak and priced like Starbucks. The honey butter chicken dinner okay but only warm. The biscuit was hard. The waitress did replace with 2 good biscuits. Good service

This review is based on our experience with the Premium Farmhouse Feast meal that we ordered for Thanksgiving. For the last 4 years, we have chosen to forego the 2-day ordeal of making a Thanksgiving dinner from scratch. We've used Cracker Barrel for each of these meals, including their hot and ready option and their heat and serve option. The heat and serve option worked best for us, since we didn't have to worry about the food cooling down during transport. The heat and serve option saved us time (only takes about 2 hours), left us with little to no cooking mess or dishes, and provided us with more than enough food for 8-10 people.nnThis year, we chose to try something new and go with Bob Evans. We ordered the Premium Farmhouse Feast with some additional sides about a week before Thanksgiving. Tried ordering online, but the system wouldn't take our information, so we had to call the store directly. Annoying, but not too much of an issue.nnWhen we got the meal home on Thanksgiving, however, we had some problems.nn1) Everything came in plastic take-home containers (except the turkey), which meant that I had to use my own baking dishes and thus have a mess to clean after dinner. Every time we ordered from Cracker Barrel, each food was packaged in an aluminum tray for easy and clean reheating, so that's what I was expecting.nn2) There were no reheating instructions in the box. My wife called the store and the girl who answered the phone said she didn't know the instructions, but that we could look them up online. For $125, I really don't think I should have to go online and look up instructions, but I had no other option.nn3) The food quality was not good. The ham was pre-sliced, so it dried out in the oven (there were only 8 slices, so 2 guests didn't get any ham). The rolls were stale and dry. The pumpkin bread was inedible. The apple pie was a frozen pie and actually came in its retail packaging. The cranberry sauce was a single serving. I called the number to complain about the food quality, but no one answered and there was not even an option to leave a voicemail.nnI can't say how the food or service is at this Bob Evans on a normal basis, but this particular experience left me wanting. I can thank the store, however, for at least helping me make the decision to go back to making everything from scratch.

Always grab the chance for breakfast at Bob Evans. It smelled like pumpkin and cinnamon sugar in here. Fast friendly service. Always clean bathrooms. I should have snapped a picture before I dug in.
