Bob Evans out of the restaurant business

Wait, Bob Evans has grocery stores? I mean I have bought their sausage and other fine products. Even ate at one of the restaurants back east along time ago. Darn good food. That's a shame they sold though.

 

I think @Mike2633 meant "for" grocery stores instead of "for their" grocery stores. Their restaurants have been suffering for years, and many have closed.

Side note: about 30 years ago I saw ol' Bob himself at the Bob Evans in Gahanna, Ohio. He was going around, shaking hands. And my girlfriend in high school was friends with his granddaughter or something.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'm almost famous.

 

Yes, the Bob Evans restaurant has been in trouble, Bob's Big Boy was his to right? in other word's it's no surprise.

There's tough competition to beat

 

still see Sizzler here and there too but not near as much these days.

 

Hmm. Not sure about the Big Boy restaurants. Wasn't there both Bob's and Frisch's Big Boys? Pretty sure the Frisch's ones still exist.

 

Well, I did a quick search, it appears Bob Evans is not affiliated with the Big Boys and is alive and well.

I've never eaten at Bob Evans, once upon a time a Bobs Big Boy was around the corner along with a Sizzler seafood and steak house. when I think of bobs the sizzler is automatically included.

I preferred the sizzler however, Red Lobster restaurants are much better
