Score
Across the available record, Bob Evans Restaurant 393 has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 31, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around four violations compared to roughly seven violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
