Bob Evans Restaurants is expanding family dinner offerings through the official rollout of the company’s branded dinner value platform, “Dinner Bell Plates.” The new value menu consists of eight diverse entrées made with homemade, farm fresh ingredients.

“The Dinner Bell Plates were carefully chosen for variety and quality of ingredients as a part of our ongoing strategy to bring even more value to our guests in new ways this year,” says Saed Mohseni, chief executive officer for Bob Evans Restaurants. “Our goal is to make it even easier for families to enjoy a meal together, whether they’re visiting their local Bob Evans restaurant or placing an order for pick up or delivery to enjoy at their own table.”

The Dinner Bell Plates, now available at all Bob Evans restaurants for $7.99 each, honor the days when a homemade family dinner was a daily priority.

“Dinner bells were traditionally used to call people working across the farm to the house for dinner, so this is a great way for us to pay homage to the hard-working roots of our founder Bob Evans and his wife, Jewell, who made family dinner a priority every night,” adds Bob Holtcamp, chief marketing officer for Bob Evans Restaurants. “We know it’s become even more difficult for today’s busy families to sit down at the dinner table for a homecooked meal, so we’re thrilled to provide our guests with eight great, farm fresh dishes that they can rely on any day of the week.”

The eight Dinner Bell Plate entrées consist of guest-favorites, as well as two brand new dishes:

  • New Tender Fried Pork Loin: breaded, country-fried and topped with gravy, served with mashed potatoes with gravy and Bob Evans signature coleslaw.
  • New Lemon Pepper Sole Fillet: a wild-caught, mild white fish fillet seasoned with a blend of lemon and pepper then perfectly seared, served with a baked potato and sugar snap peas.
  • Smaller Portion Turkey & Dressing: a smaller serving of our iconic slow-roasted turkey and dressing, served with mashed potatoes and gravy.
  • Grilled Chicken Breast: a chicken breast grilled to perfection, served with mashed potatoes with gravy and fresh, buttered broccoli.
