“Very nice little family restaurant.“

“Had lunch here last week. The service was great. Joyce, one of the waitresses was very attentive to our requests. She was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was excellent and the restaurant is a really nice place to have a meal. The menu is varied and prices are reasonable. Planning on going again soon.“

“Always a great time and great food and environment.“

“I have always liked Bob Evans but this particular day there was a young lady there by the name of Shay Davis. She was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable with everyone that she came in contact with. My order was correct, hot and very enjoyable. Because of Ms. Shay I will definitely be back to this location and tell everyone that I know about this location. She should be moved up to General Manager because she definitely knows her stuff.“

“The staff was very friendly and professional. The restaurant, bathrooms and arcade were extremely clean. The food was very good! We had the hot honey panini, quesadilla and the kids chicken nugget meal :) I highly recommend Tyler’s Tender Railroad Restaurant.“

“They always have good food. The service is decent, but they do not back up the mistakes that are made. I ordered a carry out pizza when I ordered my in restaurant meal i the pizza was made wrong when I called back. They said there was nothing they could do. so I bought a pizza we could not eat and had to give away“

“Best Lemon Rice Soup!! Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots.“

“I had never been in or even knew about Bob Evans. My wife made me come. I had breakfast. Started off with a very friendly and helpful hostess. Then a server took our order. Even better than the hostess and that's saying something. Tabitha took our order, helped me decide by giving great suggestions. Excellent choices. I ended up with a sausage biscuit with home fries, egg and gravy. It was good. Cooked just right. And did I tell you that I felt like home. I wish there was a Bob Evans in my state.“

“RTC is always a favorite go to!
Pretty busy last Saturday ...not the friendliest manager and waitresses. But under the busy conditions we understood. Very busy. Our waitress, Lillian, was the friendliest and most efficient! With a pleasant attitude and a smile on her face she didn't let the chaos get to her. She provided us w the best service, the best attitude, AND she herself was neat and clean.
She made our visit to RTC very good. Give her a raise! 🫠
Thank you, LILLIAN!“
