PORTIONS AMENDED:

The Registrant hereby amends Item 2.03 contained in the Registrant's Current
Report on Form 8-K filed November 5, 2004 (the "ORIGINAL 8-K") to clarify the
discussion in the second paragraph of Item 2.03 regarding the outstanding lines
of credit. No other changes are made to the Original 8-K.

Item 2.03.        Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation
                  --------------------------------------------------------
                  under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
                  -------------------------------------------------------

On November 3, 2004, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries
(collectively the "Company") signed a credit agreement (the "NCB Credit
Agreement") with National City Bank ("NCB") that allows the Company to borrow,
repay and re-borrow, on an unsecured basis and from time to time, up to $70
million. The NCB Credit Agreement does not have an expiration date, but any
amounts outstanding are payable to NCB on demand. The NCB Credit Agreement
replaces the Company's $60 million credit facility with NCB that had similar
terms.

Borrowings under the NCB Credit Agreement are limited by the face amount of any
issued or requested standby letters of credit under the NCB Credit Agreement.
The Company currently has standby letters of credit totaling $2.7 million.

Interest on borrowings under the NCB Credit Agreement is due when each advance
is repaid. The Company and NCB will mutually determine the interest rate for
each advance at the time of each advance.

On November 3, 2004, the Company also signed a revolving credit agreement (the
"Bank One Credit Agreement") with Bank One that allows the Company to borrow,
repay and re-borrow, on an unsecured basis and from time to time, up to $30
million. The Bank One Credit Agreement expires on December 31, 2005, and
replaces the Company's $10 million credit facility with Bank One that had
similar terms.

Borrowings under the Bank One Credit Agreement will bear interest at rates based
on, at the Company's election, either LIBOR plus 0.50% or the prime rate minus
0.50%. Interest on borrowings under the Bank One Credit Agreement is due when
each advance is repaid. The Company will also pay Bank One a non-usage fee of
1/8% if the average daily unused portion of the credit facility in calendar year
2005 is greater than $15 million.

The Bank One Credit Agreement contains various covenants that are customary with
unsecured, revolving lines of credit. Neither agreement contains financial
covenants related to limitations on indebtedness or the maintenance of any
financial ratios.
