Bob Evans

What can I say, it's a Bob Evans. This one was clean and the waitress was friendly and efficient. Traveling since the beginning of this year we have noticed that the chain has been cutting costs in various places including the menu, the table set up, and their portions. Our food was good as expected.

Took a while to get a server to come to our table, bit once we were served, everything was fine. Good food, server was very nice. It wasn't busy, hist think we were overlooked for a bit.

Had a large group that included 4 preschoolers. Chris, our server, was outstanding. Never flustered by 4 checks and several changes while taking our orders. He did an amazing job with a smile on his face. The food was outstanding. At the table we had steak, salmon, full breakfasts and kid's meals. Everything was fine perfect in a clean and family friendly environment! We definitely will be back the next time we visit the Ark Encounter.

“Breakfast with Bob”

Our morning began like any other, but this morning would prove to become very different. You see, I had spent the night at a dear friend’s house. His wife and he are expecting a child, a boy, and we had spent the previous evening reminiscing and playing board games. Once morning arrived, we made the decision to dine together, but where? Florence is a cosmopolitan city with innumerable culinary establishments.

“Let’s pay a visit to Robert.” Robert Evans, known to his patrons as Bob, graduated from West Point during the height of the Great Depression. He served honorably in the war in Europe, as so many young men of his generation did. Following a brief stint in the Army (a career that did not satisfy his desire to bring joy, happiness, and a bottomless cup of coffee to all), Robert and his wife Elizabeth settled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Robert pursued a career in hospitality, a career that would reach its zenith when he built, with his own hands, his flagship establishment at 8020 US-42. It was here that we decided to hang our hats and dine.

The food was good.
