    So who the hell IS Bob Evans? Never heard of him.;) But I sure do miss the Bob's Big Boy chain in California. (Well, actually, I don't miss them anymore, because I haven't been to Cali in years.):confused:
    But I was particularly fond of the one in Barstow, and one in Bakersfield.
    Sizzler. My understanding is that the chain itself went under. But certain franchise owners were allowed to reopen under the Sizzler name. (Can't remember where I got that, but I did get it somewhere.)
    Shoney's, what a flippin' joke they were. Tiny portions of food, that wasn't very good anyway. There was also a Shoney's Motel, right close to the restaurant that used to be in St. George. Both the motel and restaurant are still there, but the motel has changed names, and the restaurant has undergone about three changes of ownership since Shoney's went out.

    That must have been something that's along the lines of seeing Colon Sanders I guess people in real life have
    Bob Evan's is a food company once owned by a man named Bob Evan from Rio Grande, Ohio he had a farm and then started a restaurant he's famous for making sausage. The chain is indegenous to the east coast however they did have some restaurants down south around Texas named Owen's. They owned a sausage company down in Texas named Owen's Sausage.

    I went to the Bob Evan's in Havor DeGrace? You know where I'm talking about or was it Perryman? either way it was over there, and asked them if they had a counter for me to sit and eat at same as the one's in Ohio and they didn't have one and that made me sad.

    The foods good, but yeah they just don't give you enough.

    I didn't go to that one. The only one I've been to, to eat anyway, is the one in Perry Hall.

    I know the average KFC probably has questionable hygiene standards but is this a typo?

    Bob's Big Boy was awesome back in the day. Great burgers and the best-ever malts in the chilled stainless steel cups. They tried to bring them back in SoCal about 10 years ago but didn't do so well.
     
    Big Don, Mike2633 and G13Tomcat Thank this.
