I think it's pretty good.. I wrote this about 5 - 7 years ago...
I was really hoping they still had sausage and gravy on the menu. Most people got their first taste of this fine southern cuisine at Bob Evans. It was good gravy all right and the chunks of sausage made the meal, it just wasn't as good as the Wellington Cafe's. The best part was no one was going to give me a lecture about cholesterol as I sopped up the lite brown nectar with real buttermilk biscuits. Sure enough, they were still serving breakfast, even this close to noon. Better still, Sausage and gravy was the special of the day. If it's Saturday it must be Sausage Gravy. It was good to see that hadn't changes. The place was cozy, sitting there on the little stools at the blue formica counter. These kind of places can't be recreated. They evolve all by themselves. The West Coast is full of Dinner theme restaurants. Each one comes complete with table top juke boxes, smart talkin' waitresses and fifties style decor. The main problem I see is the food tastes just like the food at every other middle range restaurant competing for the eating out money. After the thrill of having Mel cook you meal and Flo drop it the table in front of you wears off, it's back to Applebee's you go. The lesson to be learned from all this should be that you should never trust a marketing directors vision if his only contact with the fifties is reruns of Happy Days on Nick at night.
