Default Bob Evans Thanksgiving

I managed to have a good experience at Bob Evans for Thanksgiving.

I did get through by phone once (but not on other subsequent tries). They told me they had 500 orders on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I then decided to go at 3:30 for my pick-up after ordering online. There was one person ahead of me in line. The line was an outdoor line of cars pulling up to a tent in the back parking lot. They filled my order perfectly with no mistakes.

My "secret" will be to use Bob Evans but to arrive at an off-hour. The food is given to you at room temperature in to-go packs, no matter what time you pick up, if you order the family dinner.

(You could order hot meals instead of the room temperature family pack, but yes, it would be difficult on Thanksgiving or the day before - very crowded because Bob Evans Turkey dinners are really good.)

I've had Door Dash mistakes with various restaurants in The Villages. Door Dash itself is a risk.
