At Bob Evans, the full breakfast menu is always available, no exceptions.

Sausage Gravy & Biscuits is the dish most associated with Bob Evans — it represents the brand’s founding identity better than any other item on the menu. The recipe traces to Bob Evans’ original farm operation in Ohio, where pork sausage was the primary product and biscuits were made fresh every morning for farm workers.
Today, the gravy is made with Bob Evans’ own proprietary sausage seasoning — a blend that has remained unchanged since the 1960s — slow-cooked into a thick, cream-based country gravy and ladled over scratch-made buttermilk biscuits. A full order runs approximately 540 calories, 33g fat, and 929 mg sodium on its own, before eggs or sides. Available as a standalone ($5.99 through Sunrise Savers), or as part of the Homestead Farmer platter and Sunshine Skillet. The Sausage Gravy & Biscuits is also sold as a retail product in grocery stores — but the restaurant version uses a heavier biscuit and thicker gravy that the packaged version cannot replicate.
Restaurant vs grocery store: Bob Evans sells Sausage Gravy in jars and frozen biscuits at grocery stores nationwide. The restaurant version uses made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits baked fresh and a richer gravy with a higher fat content than the shelf-stable product. If you’ve only had the grocery version, the restaurant is a different experience.

⚠ Sodium notice: The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. The Everything Breakfast (2,850 mg) exceeds that limit in a single dish. The full Hotcakes order (1,910 mg) consumes 83% of the daily limit alone. Guests managing blood pressure or heart conditions should opt for egg whites, turkey sausage, hashbrowns, and fresh fruit — the lowest-sodium combination available on the menu (~1,170 mg total for a full plate build).
Y = contains · N = does not contain · MC = may contain (cross-contact). Bob Evans kitchens handle wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, and tree nuts across menu preparation areas.
Cross-contact warning: Bob Evans kitchens prepare wheat-based biscuits, pancakes, French toast, and breaded items in shared cooking areas. Guests with celiac disease or severe gluten allergies should speak with the manager before ordering — the kitchen cannot guarantee a gluten-free environment. Egg whites and hashbrowns are the safest naturally gluten-free options, but cross-contact remains possible.
Bob Evans offers senior-specific pricing and portion options at most locations for guests 55 and older. Confirm availability and age requirement with your local restaurant.
Senior discount: Many Bob Evans locations offer a 10% discount to guests aged 60 and older, separate from the dedicated senior menu pricing. This discount typically applies to the full check including beverages. Confirm with your location — it is not a chain-wide policy but is offered at most independently managed franchise units.

The most common substitution decision among sit-down breakfast diners in the Midwest and Southeast.
1
Order the Homestead Farmer through Sunrise Savers at ~$6.99 — you get eggs, a meat, biscuit with gravy, and a side. That's a 4-item plate for the price of a fast food combo meal.
2
Swap hotcakes for the Seasonal Fruit Hotcakes when available — you save ~520 mg of sodium (1,390 vs 1,910 mg) because the fruit topping reduces how much syrup you need.
3
Order freshly cracked eggs instead of scrambled — 40 fewer calories, less sodium (140 mg vs 280 mg), and most guests prefer the texture. The kitchen just needs a second longer per egg.
4
Choose hashbrowns over homefries — same calorie range but hashbrowns have 160 mg sodium vs 690 mg for homefries. If you're splitting a platter with multiple high-sodium meats, this swap matters.
5
The Everything Breakfast is the highest-protein option (57g) on the menu at ~$12.99 — cheaper per gram of protein than The Whole Hog and a better value for athletic or high-protein-diet guests.
6
Ask for gravy on the side — the Sausage Gravy is the single largest sodium contributor in most platter builds. Getting it on the side lets you control the amount and can cut 200–400 mg of sodium.
7
Order the Ham Biscuit Benedict when you want a lower-calorie sit-down experience — 390 cal, 44g protein, 850 mg sodium. It includes fresh fruit, making it the most complete light breakfast on the menu.
8
Use the Bob Evans app for curbside and exclusive coupons. The email club delivers a free birthday dessert and periodic 15% off coupons — apply them to large table orders for significant savings on family meals.
Best value
Homestead Farmer via Sunrise Savers — ~$6.99 for eggs, meat, biscuit & gravy, and one side. Four components for under $7 at a sit-down restaurant.
Best for sharing

Bob Evans never stops serving breakfast — the full breakfast menu is available from open to close at all locations. Most Bob Evans restaurants open between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM and close between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. You can order hotcakes and biscuits & gravy at 8:30 PM if the restaurant is still open.
Bob Evans breakfast prices in 2026 start at $5.99 through the Sunrise Savers value menu, which includes items like Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, the Homestead Farmer, and the classic Hotcake Combo. Mid-range platters like the Farmer’s Choice run $7.99–$10.99. Larger platters like The Whole Hog range from $13.99–$15.99. The senior menu starts around $6.99. Kids’ items are approximately $4.99–$5.49.
Some items are — and some are not. The lightest option on the menu is egg whites (60 cal, 200 mg sodium, 12g protein). For a full plate, the Ham Biscuit Benedict (390 cal, 44g protein, 850 mg sodium with fresh fruit) is the most balanced low-calorie complete breakfast. Avoid the Everything Breakfast (1,130 cal, 2,850 mg sodium) and the full Hotcakes stack (1,150 cal, 1,910 mg sodium) if monitoring either metric.
Sunrise Savers is Bob Evans’ breakfast value menu, launched in October 2024. It offers four tiers of pricing from $5.99 and under to $8.99 and under, covering items like Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, the Homestead Farmer platter, the Farmer’s Choice, custom omelets, and the Sunshine Skillet. It was designed to bring sit-down breakfast quality to fast food price points.
Yes — Bob Evans offers a senior breakfast menu for guests aged 55 and older at most locations. Senior items include the Senior Big Farm Breakfast (~$7.99), Senior Omelet (~$7.99), and Senior Oatmeal & Fruit (~$5.99), all with smaller portions than standard menu items. Many locations additionally offer a 10% senior discount for guests aged 60+ on the full check — confirm with your local restaurant as this is not a universal policy.
For value and platter size, Bob Evans edges ahead — the Sunrise Savers menu starts at $5.99 vs Cracker Barrel’s typical $7.99+ entry point, and Bob Evans’ senior menu is more structured. For atmosphere and the retail shopping experience alongside breakfast, Cracker Barrel is stronger. Both serve all-day breakfast. If you’re in the Midwest, Bob Evans tends to have better regional coverage; if you’re in the Southeast, Cracker Barrel has more locations.
