My family of 4 had breakfast at Bob Evans for the first time. Our $63 meal was a great value, but I'm not sure I'd go back.

• My family and I ate at Bob Evans, a chain restaurant known mostly for breakfast, for the first time.
• Our breakfast for 4 people cost $63 and included 4 drinks, an appetizer, and 4 breakfast entrées.

Up until about a year ago, we rarely ate at chain restaurants. But with rising food costs and our two teens wanting to check out the chains and dishes they keep seeing on social media, we've started to lean in.

We love getting breakfast together on the weekends, so we decided to visit Bob Evans for the first time to see what kind of value we'd find.

Here's how our visit to the famous chain went.
