Bob Evans Bacon Cheeseburger

Bob Evans Cheeseburger

Just the other day I was at Steamers restaurant and had one of the best tasting cheeseburgers I have ever had. Tempting my luck, I ordered the same at Bob Evans restaurant in Youngstown yesterday.

The service was great, the waitress kind, fast, and courteous and my cheeseburger was brought out right on time. Did I mention it was take out?

So I get home and unwrap my bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was hot, there was bacon, and cheese, and the burger was a half pound of beef. Then I picked it up.

The bun was soggy. Not a little, but if it were a sponge, you could wring it out. Inspecting the bacon, there were two slices, and it was half cooked at best. The cheese was melted and the burger well cooked. However, upon first bite, my expectations were quashed.

I wouldn’t say the taste was horrendous, but it wasn’t good at all. If you ever held a hockey puck, this had the same texture, hard, round, and tasteless. Even adding fries to the top of the burger couldn’t help mask the taste. Perhaps the fries would assist in this meal.

Pitiful

As you can see, there were not a lot of french fries with the order. For 10 dollars, I was expecting more fries. Also note the one piece of bacon hanging on the left side. The fries were hot, not soggy, not crisp, but just OK. The taste was adequate as fries go. Nothing bad, just OK.

The take out order was packed in a white xardboard box and the burger was inside and wrapped in a foil wrapper. The fries was strewn on the bottom.

Bob Evans Bacon Cheeseburger Takeout

Bob Evans - Take Out

Bob Evans restaurant located in Youngstown, Ohio, is our next stop on the Blue Plate Special tour. However, this time, we ordered to go to test their take out service. I placed the call, ordered a bacon cheeseburger with french fries and the waitress said my order would be ready in about 20 minutes.

I arrived at Bob Evans in twenty minutes and went to the take out counter. A waitress asked if she could help me. I told her, “Pick up for the Grassy Knoll Institute!” She smiled and went into the back. She walked out with my order and packed it up in a plastic bag. She told me to pay at the check out.

As you can see, they did not skimp on the bacon. Two thick strips were on top and when I broke both pieces in half, they covered the burger completely. The cheese was plentiful, fully melted and hot. The bun was fresh, hot, and toasted just right. The one third pound burger patty was well cooked, juicy, and hot. The fries were golden brown, crunchy, not soggy, and hot. The container, a standard styrofoam container held up for well.

The burger was very good tasting. You could really taste the crisp thick bacon unlike other burgers where the bacon is undercooked and as thin as paper. The fries were very tasty as well.

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the cost which at $8 dollars was a fair price. All in all, the take out experience was worked well.

Bob Evans Turkey Dinner

Bob Evans serves more than breakfast. But you all knew that anyway. Well, sooner or later, the Grassy Knoll Institute will get around to every restaurant in the world. This was our latest stop.

We decided on take out and we were not disappointed. I ordered the turkey dinner with all the fixings. Price was $10 dollars.

The order was ready on time, and it was correct, and the dinner was hot and fresh. It was sealed and placed in a sturdy container.

The turkey was not processed turkey, but carved from the breast. Very moist and hot. The stuffing was good, considering it was a national chain restaurant. the mashed potatoes were a surprise. They were not instant, but real mashed potatoes. Gravy was OK. The steamed carrots were adequate. The rolls, pretty darn good.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 4 out of 5 shots for the turkey dinner and recommends Bob Evans of Boardman, Ohio for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Bob Evans Bacon Omelette

Bob Evans Bacon Omelette To Go

Sunday morning, the Lead Scientist of the Grassy Knoll Institute surprised us with breakfast take out from the local Bob evans restaurant in Boardman, Ohio.

My order was a Bacon omelette ala carte. No hash browns, or toast, just the omelette.
The omelette was quite large, cooked well, with plenty of bacon sprinkled on the outside and plenty inside. It was topped with a light coating of cheese.

The take out container was a little above standard fare, a sturdy plastic container that didn’t smash the food beyond recognition.
The omelette was hot, fresh, and with a little pepper for flavoring was very good tasting.
