1.   Unaudited Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements are
     presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q

     Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting policies
     followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial
     statements).

          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of

          Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Sales

     Third quarter net sales for Bob Evans Farms, Inc. decreased

2% compared to the corresponding quarter a year ago.  This

decrease was composed of a $448,000 (less than 1%) decline in the

restaurant segment, and a $2,470,000 (4%) decline in the food

products segment.  These decreases were due to one less week in

the third quarter this year as compared to the prior year, as

well as the unusually severe weather experienced across much of

the Bob Evans core marketing area this past quarter.

     For the nine-month period ended January 28, 1994,

consolidated net sales increased 6% compared to the corresponding

period a year ago.  This increase reflected a 7% rise in

restaurant segment sales and a 3% rise in food products segment

sales.  The improvement in restaurant sales was a result of more

restaurants in operation in addition to a 3% weighted average

menu price increase.  Seven new restaurants were opened in the

third quarter, bringing the total number of restaurants in

operation to 303 compared with 281 a year ago.  The 3% increase

in food products sales was the result of improved sales of our

charcoal, liquid smoke, and salad products.



Cost of Goods Sold

     As a percentage of sales, consolidated cost of goods sold

remained unchanged at 76% for both the third quarter and the nine-

month period ended January 28, 1994, as compared to the

corresponding periods a year ago.

     Within the restaurant segment, gross margin was unchanged in

the third quarter, but increased nearly 1% for the nine-month

period ended January 28, 1994 as a result of controlling

operating costs.  The food products gross margin was also

unchanged in the third quarter, but decreased 1% for the nine-

month period ended January 28, 1994 due mostly to the higher cost

of live hogs as well as the higher cost of fresh salad

ingredients.



Selling and Administrative Expenses

     Selling and administrative expenses decreased 8% for the

three-month period and increased 3% for the nine-month period

ended January 28, 1994, compared to the corresponding periods a

year ago.  The third quarter decrease was the result of one less

week of operations.  For both the third quarter and year-to-date,

selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were

unchanged at 13%.



Other Income and Expenses

     Other income and expense in the third quarter netted to a

gain of $80,000 compared to $21,000 a year ago.  For the nine

months ended January 28, 1994, other income and expense netted to

a loss of $8,000 compared to a loss of $441,000 in the

corresponding period a year ago.  Most of the improvement

resulted from gains on the sale of property.



Net Income

     Compared to the prior year, net income increased 7% and 11%

for the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively, ended

January 28, 1994.  These increases were due to more restaurants

in operation, as well as improved profit margins in restaurant

segment core stores and food products segment sausage products.

The food products net margin in the third quarter improved

because of higher wholesale prices of our sausage products over a

year ago.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The company continues to maintain a strong financial

position and relies on cash and short-term investments as a

principal source of liquidity.  Cash generated from both the

restaurant segment and food products segment is used to satisfy

working capital requirements and to fund capital expenditures.

Also, the company has available bank lines of credit of

$18,000,000 for short-term cash needs if required.  At January

28, 1994, $3.5 million was outstanding under such lines of

credit.
