       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 third quarter ended January 27,
     1995.

          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

11.4% for the third quarter and 10.7% for the year-to-date period

ended January 27, 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods a

year ago.

     Restaurant sales increased 14.1% for the three-month period and

12.1% for the nine-month period ended January 27, 1995 compared to the

corresponding periods a year ago.  These increases resulted from more

restaurants in operation and traditional same-store sales increases of

6.1% and 4.0% for the three-month and nine-month periods,

respectively.  The average menu price increase in both periods was

approximately 3.0% for our traditional restaurants (which includes all

restaurants except "small-town" Bob Evans Restaurants and Cantina del

Rio's).  In the third quarter, the company opened nine additional

restaurants.  Through three quarters, the company has opened a total

of 24 restaurants and closed five, bringing the total number of

restaurants operating at January 27, 1995 to 334, in comparison to 303

a year ago.

     Food products sales increased 5.7% for the third quarter and 7.4%

year-to-date as compared to the prior year.  These improvements were

the result of an increase in the volume of sausage products sold

(approximately 5.0% for the quarter and 4.0% year-to-date, based on

comparable sausage products) as well as increased sales of Hickory

Specialties' charcoal products.



Cost of Goods Sold

     As a percentage of sales, the consolidated cost of sales

decreased to 28.2% in the third quarter of this year as compared to

30.8% last year.  The year-to-date decrease was to 29.9% this year

from 31.5% last year.

     Restaurant segment food cost improved in the third quarter of

fiscal 1995 to 26.7% of sales as compared to 27.5% in the third

quarter a year ago.  The year-to-date food cost percentage was 27.3%

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

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

product mix.

     As a percentage of sales, the food products segment recognized

significant decreases in cost of sales from 37.9% to 31.6% in the

third quarter and from 41.3% to 36.5% for the nine months ended

January 27, 1995.  These decreases were the direct result of lower

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



Operating Expenses

     Consolidated operating expenses, as a percentage of sales,

increased from 41.9% to 43.0% for the quarter and from 41.8% to 42.3%

year-to-date as compared to the corresponding periods last year.

These increases were due to slightly higher labor costs in the

restaurant segment as well as the fact that the restaurant segment

(which has operating costs of 51% to 54% of sales) has continued to

grow at a faster pace than the food products segment (which has

operating costs of 16% to 17% of sales), resulting in an overall

increase in the consolidated cost of operations as a percentage of

sales.



Selling and Administrative Expenses

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses

represented 13.1% of sales for the quarter and 13.0% of sales year-to-

date in comparison to 12.2% and 12.5%, respectively, in the

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

higher labor costs associated with management training programs in the

restaurant segment to support the increased new restaurant openings,

as well as extensive advertising and promotional programs in the food

products segment.



Net Income

     Consolidated net income increased $1.7 million, or 13.9%, in the

third quarter this year as compared to the corresponding quarter a

year ago, and $4.8 million, or 13.2%, for the year-to-date periods.

Profit increases in the food products segment were $1.0 million for

the quarter and $3.1 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 product sales.  The

remaining increase ($0.7 million for the quarter and $1.7 million year-

to-date) occurred in the restaurant segment as the result of same-

store sales increases and more restaurants in operation.



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

requirements and capital expenditures.  Bank lines of credit have also

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

The total bank lines of credit available is $53.0 million, of which

$16.8 million was outstanding at January 27, 1995.

     The company believes that 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.
