    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 28, 1995 (refer to
     Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting policies
     followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial
     statements).


2.   Reclassifications
     Certain fiscal 1995 amounts have been reclassified to
     conform with the fiscal 1996 classification.
          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations
<PAGE>
Sales
     Consolidated net sales for Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
increased $7.9 million, or 4.0%, for the first quarter ended
July 28, 1995 as compared to the corresponding quarter a
year ago.  The increase was comprised of a $9.4 million
increase in the restaurant segment and a $1.5 million
decrease in the food products segment.
     The $9.4 million (6.6%) sales increase in the
restaurant segment was due entirely to more restaurants in
operation: 361 restaurants at the end of this quarter
compared to 319 at the end of the first quarter last year.
During this quarter, the company opened a total of seven new
restaurants - three traditional restaurants and four "small-
town" restaurants.  The increase in sales was partially
offset by a 1.7% decrease in same-store sales for core
restaurants (restaurants that have been open two full years)
in the first quarter.  The average menu price increase in
the first quarter amounted to 3.9%.
     The $1.5 million (2.8%) sales decrease in the food
products segment was due to slow sales of salad and charcoal
products, each of which experienced sales declines of $0.7
million.  A higher volume of sausage products sold
(approximately 5%) combined with a decrease in prices
resulted in a slight increase in sausage product sales.

Cost of Sales
     Consolidated cost of sales (representing cost of
materials only) improved from 31.8% of sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 to 29.7% of sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  In the restaurant segment, food
cost (cost of sales) was 26.5% of sales in the first quarter
versus 28.1% in last year's first quarter.  This improvement
was due to changes in product mix.  Food products segment
cost of sales was 39.0% of sales in this year's first
quarter compared to 41.7% of sales in the comparable quarter
a year ago.  The improvement in the food products segment
was due entirely to lower hog costs, which averaged $32.00
per hundredweight in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 versus
$36.50 per hundredweight in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Operating Expenses
     Consolidated operating wage and fringe benefit expenses
increased from 29.1% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal
1995 to 29.8% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
In the restaurant segment, operating wage and fringe benefit
expenses represented 35.7% of sales for the first three
months of this year versus 35.4% for the comparable period a
year ago.  In the food products segment, the comparison was
12.7% versus 12.4%.
     The most significant components of other operating
expenses are restaurant advertising, utilities, repair and
maintenance, and miscellaneous supplies.  Other operating
expenses, as a percent of sales, increased in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to 13.8% compared to 12.7% in the
first quarter a year ago.  Nearly all of this increase
occurred in the restaurant segment due to an increase of $1.7
million, or 33.7%, in advertising expense in the first quarter
of this year versus the corresponding quarter last year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses represented 12.3% of sales in the quarter versus
12.6% of sales in the first quarter a year ago.  The most
significant components of selling, general and administrative
expenses are wages and fringe benefits and food products
segment promotional expenses.  There were no notable changes
in these components in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Net Income
     Consolidated net income increased $1.2 million, or
9.2%, in the first quarter in comparison to the
corresponding period a year ago.  Profit increased $0.9
million in the restaurant segment due to more restaurants in
operation.  Pre-tax profit margin increased from 11.7% to
11.9% in the restaurant segment due to the fact that the
improved food cost was partially offset by the increase in
operating expenses, particularly advertising expense and
labor.  Food products segment net income increased $0.3
million, or 10.0%, and pre-tax profit margin increased from
8.4% to 9.4%.  The improvement in the food products segment
was due to lower live hog costs and increased volume of
sausage products sold.  The improvement was somewhat
counteracted by a $1.0 million decrease in Hickory
Specialties' pre-tax profit due to a combination of its
sales shortfall and higher advertising expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Cash generated from both the restaurant and food
products segments has been used as the main source of
working capital and capital expenditure requirements.  Bank
lines of credit were also used for liquidity needs and
capital expansion at various times.  The total bank lines of
credit available is $63.0 million, of which $31.1 million
was outstanding at July 28, 1995.
     The company believes that funds needed for capital
expenditures and working capital during the remainder of
fiscal 1996 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.
