Comfort Food Restaurants near Franklin, OH

“I love the old fashioned decor of this place. It feels like home here. Our server, Jess, is very sweet. She made sure that the order was correct before putting it in. When she brought the food out, she made sure we were pleased with what we saw. The smokehouse burger is perfect; everything about it hit the spot just right.

1/22/2026–This place is busy for lunch. I have yet to see anyone clean off any table. I got the double stack cheeseburger. The burger and fries have hit the spot. My boyfriend got a chicken sandwich, which was not the way he had ordered it. The cook put things that were supposed to be on it which he did not want on it. Our server, Leah, is acting like she doesn’t want to be here. She hasn’t came to check on us after we got our food. I do understand that the staff is busy but that doesn’t mean she can’t ask if we were good or if our food is good.“

“Mockingbird's catered our event at the Windamere in September of 2023. Their food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and generous portions. The staff and their service were so good. We intend to use them again this year. You should too!!!!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“On two separate occasions I have ordered the chicken strips meal, and each time I've gotten them they are deep fried too long. End pieces are hard and the rest is over crispy. Won't be ordering these again. The rest of the meals I've ordered have been good! I like Bob Evans just not their chicken strips.“

“We found Ladder 41 in between games at a soccer tournament. The line to order food was long but it all came out quickly and correctly after we ordered. Plenty of room for the kids to spread out and games for them to play while we waited. Great atmosphere and we plan to visit again when we are back in the area!“

“Stopped at Bob Evans, Lebanon, Ohio for lunch 2 days in a row. Had the same server, Elizabeth, both days, she is excellent. Very nice and does a great job. Food at Bob's is always good.“

“Got the premium farmhouse feast, i pick it up today and will let you know, so far the costumer serves experience has been extremely easy and professional, the management was kind with me and helped me settle a glitch the automated system made (not this stores fault) but they cleared it right up for me and made it simple for me to understand what happened and what was done to fix it. Professional, kind, clear communication! Thank you Bob Evens management

Edit after picking up farm house feast: the feast Turkey, pies, rolls, are great portions, the ham that comes with it is a little lacking, if you dont have a free ham from work id suggest getting extra ham, the sides are plastic cups with lids, about the size of a large coke from McDonald's so im glad I got 2x side lover bundle with it. The foods quality looks great, tho I won't know till Christmas day. If your severing 10 people I would go extra ham and 2x side lover just to be safe. Was it $300 worth of food? Not really but if I wanted value i would have got all of this at the grocery store and prepped it myself. The higher price is for the convenience bob evens offers in making this Christmas easy and hassle free for the whole family. And thats why it is worth it to me.“
