Husband and I checked into hotel and decided to hit Bdubs for dinner & preseason football. This location was very clean and the workers seemed very friendly. Sat at the bar and Jessica quickly had some tall cold beers in front of us. Wings and potato wedges were hot and tasty w/quick delivery. We love Bdubs and love visiting different locations around the USA.

The wait time was not as long as I thought it would be, considering that it was graduation weekend at Indiana Westleyan Univerisity! Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Our waitress was great. She treated us with respect and had a pleasant attitude.

Hadn't been to a Red Lobster since the 90's and the commercials with waiters dancing around in crab legs until this week, partly because I have black tie tastes on a brown bag budget. Twelve dollars each is what I would normally spend for the entire week. We were celebrating a special occasion and Makayla was on the mark with taking and serving our orders. Portions were good for the price and everything was done well. Did I mention thhe biscuits? Dining room was well lit and restrooms were clean. The restaurant is accessible and a wheelchair patron came in while we were there. No one acted offended or strange like in some places. Experience was enjoyable. Maybe next time we'll ask to sit under the boat.

The new owners of the OK are doing their very best to bring back the old OK and they are doing a great job. The pizza and sandwiches are really good! Great cold beers and the old-style atmosphere,,,loved it!! They still have a small menu but everything is really good! And, the lunch buffet is back!! I see the new OK being a new favorite place for pizza and sandwiches!!

We come here from time to time as it's local to us. The typical things that are happening at all the Bob Evans' Restaurants are happening here as far as menu choices & prices, along with constantly updating décor inside/out. But today, I was really turned off by the cleanliness issues at our table and with our server, Krista. Along with that, several of the servers were very sloppy in appearance and just carried themselves like they were overworked or worn out....but say something about workload, not sure. But I believe the greeter that takes you to the table, the busser of the table from the customer before, and the current server for your visit are the last ones responsible to make sure all put before you to use or eat is in order and clean! So the greeter today on a Sunday morning about 11am takes us to a table that was not clean and left us with menus that had food spilled on them inside the menu! GROSS. Nothing like sticking to honey smeared on the table for the entire visit! Thanks! Next our server, Krista, came to our table to do our order. We had to keep her straight with who ordered what and she didn't come often enough to check the drinks for refills. BUT the worst for me was that she greets us standing there with her hair flopping and that filthy looking lime green apron in our faces. I know if you are working the aprons will get dirty. But this apron's dirt was stained horribly and just looked like it hadn't seen the care of stain-treatment or a laundry process for weeks! If you are going to be filthy like that, don't choose a light color like lime green to wear it on maybe. It was not very appetizing. She brought my coffee in 1 of the heavy white cups that had coffee drips all down the sides of it and bits of CHEESE was stuck to it. PLUS the inside of the coffee cup was so stained up with the stains that a white cup will get if you don't let it see the light of a bleach washing from time to time. It was just thick covered with the stains on the whole inside of the cup. That was sickening. Sanitizing those coffee cups properly would not have given a customer a cup that looked this way! Bob Evans management should be ashamed- for that took time to get your cups looking like that inside! So that tells me someone there is dropping the ball on that. Then the food order came- not the proper temperature. My western omelet had cold big chunks of peppers, onions, ham inside a lukewarm egg folded over it with a partially melted cheese sprinkle over the entire plate- much like it was thrown together & then thrown in the microwave for a few seconds. A good omelet is not made this way. You have the ingredients maybe, but not the form & care or care for temperature or the cutting skills. The veggies & meat need to be also be warmed or even sautéed a bit & then go to the omelet inside. At any rate, whatever your method, it shouldn't be like the veggies & ham came straight from the fridge inside a lukewarm egg wrap. If I want trash fast food for breakfast, I'll go pay the fast food price at a drive thru restaurant! One of the servers had his hair down in his face serving the other tables around us too. I'd bet they ran a good chance of a coal black hair in their tray of food? Well needless to say, I'm disappointed in management in the attention to the details of training the servers to watch & care about the little meaningful details, and to pay more attention to the details of the cleanliness of the place- especially the items that are going to be used for the customer to eat! Also pay more attention to the trash can outside your front door- that early in the day, it's not likely that your trash can and cigarette tray on top of it should be almost overflowing either. Someone is slacking running this location of Bob Evans is all I can say.

I got up early so I needed breakfast during the 2½ hr. drive. I stopped at Perkins because I haven't been to one in awhile. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They were hot and good. The Hollandaise Sauce was just right. Service was good and the restroom was clean. They offer a military discount.

Visited this restaurant yesterday evening. The service was good in spite of the restaurant being very busy. Three people in our group of five had the chicken wings and thought they were very good. They were certainly very big! My wife ordered sweet potato fries with her wings and received a large basket containing a VERY SMALL potion of fries (seriously, there couldnât have been more than 8 or 9 fries in the basket. My onion soup tasted like it was definitely from the bottom of the barrel. My blue cheese burger was dry & consisted of MUCH more bread than burger. In spite of asking for my fries to be âextra crispâ, I was served a basket of soggy waffle fries. All in all, not a great place to eat, but not the worst either. Thank you for your detailed and honest feedback. We're sorry the food you received did not meet your expectations during your visit. We hope you brought your meal to attention of our servers as we would gladly correct any mistakes made on our end. We hope you give us another chance in the future to make it up to you in the future. We aim to achieve much more and would like the chance to prove it.

Downtown Marion didn't seem to have a lot of eating places so we checked TripAdvisor. Loved our lunch at Baire's. Great salad with blueberries. You must try the sweet potato fries. Scrumptious -- best ever. Service was perfect, funny, smiling, caring. We'd love to go back next time we're in Ohio.

This little "hole in the wall" is great place for getting a very good hamburger and there are a lot of types of burgers to choose from. The onion rings and sweet potatoe fries are wonderful. The service was great, can't go wrong here.
