Bob Evans Farms Inc. introduced a streamlined menu this month that aims to be more user friendly. The menu has some additional items, and a new dinner special that allows customers to upgrade every regular sized dinner entrée to a three course meal, with a choice of soup or salad and a dessert, for $2.
The menu is physically smaller, with once heavily laminated pages replaced with smaller, thinner ones. The menu also has fewer pages. The menu has fewer photos, too, with a focus on pictures of items that underscore Bob Evans' strengths, such as the brand's signature Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, and a Border Scramble Omelet.
The menu also has some new items, including a candied bacon side dish, a proprietary
recipe with caramelized brown sugar. The item is priced at $3.99 for five pieces of bacon.
Bob Evans is promoting the candied bacon on Wednesday by offering a free slice to
anyone who orders an entrée after 11 a.m.
The chain has also introduced two new premium hamburgers made with 7 ounces of Black Angus beef. Each burger is priced at $9.99, at most locations.
- The Bob Evans Burger is a bacon cheeseburger topped with a fried egg.
- The Steakhouse Burger is dressed with hardwood smoked bacon, grilled mushrooms, onions, cheese and steak sauce.
Bob Evans also introduced a Veggie Omelet made with broccoli, onions, roasted
mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, and Cheddar cheese, topped with tomatoes and
green onion, priced at around $5.49.
