“Outstanding! In the hospitality industry, the objective is to create a pleasant experience for the patron. Food or service is just a tool to do that. Each transaction may be small $$, but the pleasant experience will generate return visits. A shout out to Brandy and Tiffany, as well as the others. Well-staffed. Attentive. Reasonable prices. This place is the model of how to do it right!“

“Great staff. Clean environment and a tasty menu for the whole family. Great vibes and a huge outdoor deck“

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.“

“Sam is an outstanding server. Always smiling, efficient & friendly. Loved the clams too! Food, service, atmosphere all excellent!“

“Overall our stay was not bad . I just wish when booking they would let you know what time the pool and hot tub closes , which is fairly early 9 p.m . The pool and hot tub are nice once of the reasons we booked here ( and because it was close to the beach ) but the pool is all of 4’6 inches deep . . There is nothing to do or really eat around this area so you more than likely will be driving 30+ minutes looking for food .“

“We enjoyed a relaxing and quiet dinner in the grill dining room. Our waiter was just terrific. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable.“

“I have always liked this location, food has always been good. Last week seems sth has changed and the food was even better. We had the 2 for 25 deal and chose grilled oriental chicken salad which was definately delicious. Boneless wings as an appetizer and we got a really generous portion and the taste was just amazing. Definately will be back“

“Me and my friends come here almost every Friday for happy hour. Sydney & Leland (hope I spelled those right!) are awesome. They have our drink orders memorized and always make happy hour fun for us.“

“Oh my goodness how can I say this this was the second or third holiday that I've ordered from Bob Evans here in Venice and I have to tell you that this order was made by someone that didn't realize that they closed at 7:00 p.m. needless to say I called at about 6:30 to tell them should I come now or wait about my order. That's when I found out that they close at 7:00 so I quickly made my way over there with haste. When I got it was about 10 minutes to closing give or take a minute or two, and the manager very very very very very very nice person and all the stuff that I saw extremely nice I mean they were exhausted I could tell but they still had no issue going and getting my stuff and getting it ready or even though they had already pretty much done for the evening and wanted to get done to their families for Christmas Eve, they didn't say that but obviously people don't want to be at work and on top of that have a giant order come in 10 minutes before you close. So even though the person that ordered made that mistake that they didn't even blink they could have my order ready and I mean I had an order very big order for over 12 people put it that way and they had not put together so perfectly I can't even explain. So huge shout out to all the staff that were working Christmas Eve 2025, and also a big big shout out to one of the managers that I spoke with she was just the best. Never had an issue with Bob Evans especially the Venice location. They always go that extra mile. So the manager that night 10 minutes still closing on Christmas Eve put together an order an entire Christmas Eve dinner order together without saying anything because technically she didn't have to really she did not. Because it was a mess up on our behalf not hers not Bob Evans but they still did it and they didn't do it fast or lazily they did it and it came out perfect mind you as well my order was to be hot not the cold orders that you warm up when you get home everything was ready to go hot fresh. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to the manager that was on duty that night as well as the woman that was at the front she hadn't hurt her arm so I believe she had a cast on it wrapped up with ace bandage. And she was still carrying bags and helping out, even though I insisted don't worry about it whatever you get done I'll get everything to the car just as it comes. She still was bringing it from the kitchen to the front but I needed to recognize her because I know working with that arm couldn't have been easy. Thank you again do all the Bob Evans South that was working Christmas Eve 2025!“
