Bob Evans use Incapsula to prevent scraping. Probably a waste of money.
Scrapers will scrape and real customers are driven away.
As a counter data point, that web site loads for me in Google Chrome.
In Firefox with NoScript installed, I get "We're sorry but BobEvans.com
doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it
to continue."
I'm in the United States, so if there's blocking it might be geo-IP
based.
An Incapsula competitor, ScrapFly, explains why they think the blocking is
primarily Javascript based:
