About Us

Home of America's Farm Fresh

It all began in Rio Grande, Ohio when Bob Evans opened a 4-stool, 6-table diner serving hot, homestyle meals at an honest-to-goodness value. Over 70 years later, Bob Evans Restaurants are now in 18 states and continue to be the home of America's Farm Fresh.

Bob’s original vision is still alive and well, in every restaurant and at every guest table. Farm-fresh is who we are, and who we’ve always been. Because that’s the way we do things Down on the Farm®.

Born On A Farm

The Bob Evans Homestead is where “America’s Farm Fresh” was born. It’s a land of green pastures framed with simple white fences, where the sunsets are pretty as postcards. It was here that Bob Evans Farmhouse Kitchen was born and still stands today.
