Hi/ We like the Bob E at 466 the Villages.

The new one, at Colony has hostess persons, male and female standing around talking and wasting time.
They do not seem to have good supervision.

Our regular Bob's had a first time ever, cold uncooked hash browns, a real surprise, first time ever for sure.
Omelet was very good.

New Cook??????????? Or ??????????

I'm not surprised at the mixed reviews, obviously management is to be faulted. Poor service and/or bad food is always the result of poor management, from the local management team up to the regional and beyond.
Bob Evans and others like it are not in business to please their customers but to make as much money as possible. They don't take pride in customer service nor buying the best food supplies, most of which are frozen anyway.
I would not waste my time critiquing such places any more then I would critique a Publix bought box of fig newton cookies.
Bob Evans and others of it's ilk are just plain yuck ( my critique? ).
Most of the time we eat at home and we're happy. :spoken:

There is a platoon of lawyers somewhere guaranteeing I won't die of shellfish poisoning because someone is new to English. But try the pies and Bob Evans...or the rolls. YUM.

You've intrigued me. I try it out when the snowbirds have flyed the coup. But prepare for a real critique.
