Our Coffee: Bob Evans' very own blend of premium Colombian and Brazilian beans is roasted just a little longer, so the aroma and flavor are rich, smooth and full-bodied, never bitter. Countless customers have enjoyed this blend in our restaurants, so we know you'll feel the same at home. In fact, we're so proud of our coffee, we stamped our founder's signature on it. Thanks for making us a part of your day. Our Beginnings: In 1946, Bob Evans opened a 12-stoll, 24-hour restaurant where he served hot, homestyle meals at a value. And the rest, as they say, is history. From the day that first restaurant opened, Bob Evans became known for homestyle hospitality. You can still see, feel and taste Bob's influence in everything we do, from the warmth of a smile to the goodness of the food we serve. It's about more than standards, It's about a promise from one friend to another. And we make it our business to keep that promise each and every day. You're welcome to visit us Down on the Farm in Rio Grande, Ohio. The Bob Evans Homestead is now a museum on the National Register of Historic Places.
