Bob Evans Restaurant

We stopped here recently on our trip to Ft Myers , I had been here before years ago on a trip to PA and found it was a good alternative to the other cozy comfort restaurants.

After mulling through thier extensive menu for at least 10 minutes which is not good for me being that I can be indecisve since I like mostly everything (in terms of food)
I ordered the Pot Roast sandwich on grilled sourdough that came with fries and slaw and ordered a side salad.
It was good , pot roast was moist and flavorful but about average at best..GF ordered the classic breakfast with bacon and eggs that accompanied 2 Biscuits and Gravy. I think the B&G were the best thing with her choice, bacon was dry and eggs seemed microwaved.
This experience was decent but not the best execution of what BE is about. I rate them above  Denny's but below  Cracker Barrel in terms of cheap , but good quality breakfast and lunch choices.

As the other reviewer said, it's traditional American food. Nothing fancy, lots of things like pot roast, mac-n-cheese, soups, etc.

The food is fine -- a little salty, perhaps, but generally fine. The service was a little underwhelming (when a customer does the "slurp air through a straw while you walk by" thing, it's a good indication that they want their drink refilled, no? Our waitress missed it twice when she came to bus the tables around us.), but the prices were decent and I'll say that my pot roast sandwich was actually pretty good. The potato soup was bland, aside from the salt (although the bacon and chives on top were a nice touch).

The waitress did try to sell us a quart of soup (for $5) to take home, which I found kind of odd; I'd just finished a meal with soup, if I took soup home with me, it'd get cold before I ate it. However, I might file the information away if I'm ever in the area and get a hankering for soup to take home. Oh, wait, soup is cheap and easy to make at home; nevermind. I wrote it off as not-very-well-thought-through corporate initiative -- sell more high-margin soup!

Solid 3-star meal; It's a decent place for cheap lunch or dinner if you're in the area, but I don't think I'd drive out of my way to get here.

Basic good food if you don't want anything fancy.  Consistently good.  Visit here every time our granddaughter visits.
