Bob Evans is promoting on its website that kids eat free on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. But be sure to read the fine print; the discount does not apply all day long.
If you scroll down on the site, you’ll see that the special does not apply for breakfast or lunch. Children eat free after 4 p.m. on both days. Families will receive one free kids’ meal with the purchase of an adult meal.
The children’s discount is also available for dine-in meals only. You’ll have to pay for all of the kids’ meals if you prefer to do take-out instead.

The Restaurant Chain Was Launched After Its Founder Began Making Sausage to Serve at His Diner
The Bob Evans restaurant chain dates back to 1948. Its founder, Bob Evans, owned a diner in Gallipolis, which is a small town located near the Ohio River in the southeastern portion of the state. He couldn’t find any “decent” sausage to serve at his diner. This inspired Evans to start raising his own hogs and create his own sausage on the family farm, located in Rio Grande, Ohio.
As explained on the company website, Bob Evans Farms was established in 1953 as the sausage business continued to expand. Evans then set up a restaurant called The Sausage Shop at his farm in 1962. The chain has grown significantly since then.
Today, Bob Evans has nearly 500 locations in 18 states. The chain is primarily found in the Midwest, the mid-Atlantic and the Southeast.
