Bob Evans

Went here many, many times when I lived in Canal Winchester, and liked it a lot. Also, recently joined a few friends here for a little birthday brunch for myself. We had excellent service, and the food was great, as usual. This is a must-stop place for the area. Coffee within seconds for coffee drinkers. Eggs to order. This is the place.

I gave this place 2 tries just to make sure I didn't just come on a bad night.

The original Bob Evans  I frequented on I-70 and S. Hamilton Road closed, so for a breakfast food fix I had to head further south into Groveport.

The first time I came it was New Year's Day and they were hopping. I had about a 10 minute wait with a hungry toddler. Which other parents know feels like an eternity.  As we were taken back to be seated I saw a whole row of 2 seater tables that were empty. Why not seat us there? Atleast they brought corn muffins and banana bread so my kid totally didn't flip the hell out.

The second time we came it was a Wednesday night. First we were told we were going to be seated. Then there seemed to be some kind of confusion and we were told a 5-10 min wait. Then every 2 mins the front of house woman kept assuring me that we were going to be seated in a minute.  

We were seated and again I noticed plenty of open seating. I get that you don't want to overload a server's zone unnecessarily but come on.

We ordered our drinks and ordered food quite shortly after that. It took half an hour for our food to come. I had 2 pancakes and turkey sausage and my son had pancakes. 30 Mins is way too long to wait, especially when the restaurant wasn't packed.

Then only comment the server made was that she was sorry and that "I don' t know what's wrong, the kitchen is having a bad night".

Its a shame I will have to travel to Pickerington's Cracker Barrel for my breakfast fix.
