       NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
                               UNAUDITED
  
  
1.   Unaudited Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in
     accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently,
     do not include all of the disclosures normally required by
     generally accepted accounting principles, or those normally made
     in the Company's Form 10-K filing. In the opinion of management,
     all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
     No significant changes have occurred in the disclosures made in
     Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 29, 1994 except for a
     change in the computation of depreciation as discussed below
     (refer to Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting
     policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated
     financial statements).

2.   Reclassifications

     Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
     1995 classification.

3.   Depreciation Method

     The Company adopted the straight-line depreciation method for all
     property placed in service on or after April 30, 1994.
     Depreciation on property placed in service prior to April 30,
     1994 continues to be calculated principally on accelerated
     methods.  The Company believes the new method will more
     accurately reflect its financial results by better matching costs
     of new property over the useful lives of the assets.  In
     addition, the new method more closely conforms with that
     prevalent in the industry.  The effect of the change was not
     material to the results of the second quarter or the year to date
     period ended October 28, 1994.

          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of

          Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Sales

     Net sales for Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and Subsidiaries increased

9.8% for the second quarter and 10.4% for the year-to-date period

ended October 28, 1994 as compared to the corresponding periods a year

ago.

     Restaurant sales increased 10.3% for the three-month period and

11.2% for the six-month period ended October 28, 1994 compared to the

corresponding periods a year ago.  These increases resulted from more

restaurants in operation and 3.1% and 2.5% weighted-average menu price

increases for the three-month and six-month periods, respectively.  In

the second quarter, the company opened 7 new restaurants and closed

one, bringing the total restaurants in operation to 325, compared to

296 a year ago.

     Food products sales increased 8.5% for the second quarter and

8.3% year-to-date through October 28, 1994 as compared to the prior

year.  These improvements were the result of increased volume of

sausage products sold, higher wholesale prices on sausage products,

and increased sales of Hickory Specialties' charcoal products.



Cost of Sales

     As a percentage of sales, the consolidated cost of sales

decreased to 29.5% in the second quarter of this year as compared to

31.4% last year.  The year-to-date decrease was to 30.6% this year

from 31.7% last year.

     Restaurant segment food cost improved in the second quarter of

fiscal 1995 to 27.0% of sales as compared to 27.3% in the second

quarter a year ago.  The year-to-date food cost percentage was 27.5%

this fiscal year versus 27.4% in the corresponding period of fiscal

1994.  These changes were the result of various changes in product

mix.

     As a percentage of sales, the food products segment realized

significant decreases in cost of sales from 42.5% to 36.4% in the

second quarter and from 43.2% to 39.1% for the six months ended

October 28, 1994.  These decreases were the direct result of lower

live hog costs in both periods compared to a year ago.



Operating Expenses

     Consolidated operating expenses were unchanged at 42.1% of sales

for the second quarter of this year as compared to last year.  On a

year-to-date basis, consolidated operating expenses increased from

41.7% of sales last year to 42.0% this year.  This increase occurred

in the restaurant segment, where operating expenses were 51.1% of

sales for the six-month period ended October 28, 1994 as compared to

50.8% in the corresponding period a year ago primarily as a result of

higher labor costs of hourly personnel.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses

represented 13.4% of sales for the quarter and 13.0% of sales year-to-

date in comparison to 12.2% and 12.6%, respectively, in the

corresponding periods a year ago.  The increases were the result of

extensive advertising and promotional programs in the food products

segment and labor costs associated with management training programs

in the restaurant segment.



Net Income

     Consolidated net income increased $1.8 million, or 14.1%, in the

second quarter this year as compared to the corresponding quarter a

year ago, and $3.1 million, or 12.9% for the year-to-date periods.

Profit increases in the food products segment were $1.1 million for

the quarter and $2.1 million year-to-date.  The improvement was

attributable to higher margins on sausage products due to lower live

hog costs as well as overall increases in sausage sales.  The

remaining profit increase occurred in the restaurant segment as a

result of more restaurants in operation.

     The increases in net income were somewhat reduced by increases in

the effective tax rate to 38.3% for the quarter and 38.4% year-to-date

from 37.1% and 37.2%, respectively, in the corresponding periods a

year ago.  The increased tax provisions were the result of the income

tax rate increase included as part of the 1993 Tax Act as well as an

expectation that the company's targeted jobs tax credit will be

reduced from that in the prior year.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash generated from both the restaurant and food products

segments has been used as the main source of funds for working capital

and capital expenditure requirements.  Bank lines of credit have also

been used for liquidity needs and capital expansion at various times.

At October 28, 1994, $8.5 million was outstanding under such

arrangements.  The bank lines of credit available total $53.0 million.

     The company believes that the funds needed for capital

expenditures and working capital during the remainder of fiscal 1995

will be generated both internally and from available bank lines of

credit.  Longer-term financing alternatives will be evaluated by the

company, especially in the event of acquisitions.
