Evans Pit Bar-B-Que

One of my favorite places to eat at when I’m on this side of town. I love the ribs because they’re always tender and seasoned perfectly. The beef and macaroni is my favorite side. You can never go wrong when you eat here!

If I walk into a Bar B Q place and don’t smell smoke it’s a red flag for me. The food was not good. It was a real disappointment.

The service was bad. The cashier was rude. For a cup of ice they charge the price of a drink. I said no so the cashier hands me a used cup that someone brought in the day before. The food is not very good, especially for the price. Overall bad experience. I will not be going back. I usually don’t write reveiws because I tell the people at the restaurant how I feel but I got my food to go. Waste of money.

Great Food!!! The ribs are season and finger licking good. No sauce needed!!! I love going here the owner always remembers my name. It’s been around for years. I wish they open one in Grand Prairie.

This place is slow and the service is bad. But it’s the best bbq in the area And that’s not saying a lot They over cook there meats and under cook them. You can taste the liter fluid and there is almost no smoke flavor

Fantastic barbecue! Not the prettiest place but the food makes up for lack of atmosphere.

Love this place! Amazing down home cooking. Meat was tender and had flavor for days! Absolutely recommend it!

The staff is plenty friendly, but it’s just not very good BBQ.
I am also for rustic BBQ, but plastic silverware is not very exciting.

Evans has some of the best ribs in the DFW area. Yes, they take a big hit on customer service. I’ve learned that the lady is just not warm and fuzzy. Her affect is flat most of the time. However, she takes your order and ensures it is correct. Therefore, I know what to expect when I go in the store. I usually order the rib sandwich plate with 2 sides. The sides are ok. Nothing to write home to mama about. But once again, the ribs and Texas toast are on point. I haven’t been by in a while. Maybe, I will visit in the week to come.
My stars are for the ribs only.

My co-​worker and I are from out of town and were told to check this place out. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be a joke or if they were serious. The restaurant is not clean, the tables were all wobbly, the menu is outdated and the gal who took our order had to explain to us that they don’t serve half of the items that were on it!
We waited 20 minutes for extremely tiny portions of brisket and ribs. The food was completely dry and flavorless. The sauce tasted a bit off too. In fact, we had to book it back to our hotel so I could use the restroom! My stomach was/​is not happy with what they served me, I’m still sick.
I do not recommend Evan’s unless you’re looking to get back at your mother-​in-​law…

Best BBQ in the Pleasant Grove area period! Love to eat here! Big portions, still affordable!
Great for large families with Kids!

Omg ! Evan’s is sooo good. The fish fillets are amazing. The fish fry they use is just tasteful. It’s not too over powering and you can tell they are different than the rest. The peach clobber is yummy. I love everything about this place. Never close.

It was ok… Brisket was dry ribs were good BBQ sauce tasted like ranch style beans huge turn off.

Pretty good food. We went late on a Wednesday night The sides weren’t fresh, but the main course was. I had the chopped beef sandwich. It was tasty. I am definitely going again, maybe on a Sunday afternoon.

I was in the neighborhood and came in to try it out. It just so happens that I was in the area, but as you can see from the rating this isn’t a place that I would go out of my way to go to.
Evans is a local spot that has that small business charm. I would imagine that the lady at the register is one of the owners and she was really nice.
I got the catfish and it was pretty good, definitely one of the best that I’ve eaten… hot and cooked to order. Their sides were already made on the line and they didn’t warm them up so honestly all I tasted was lukewarm mush. With that I know the name is Evans Pit BBQ… I just didn’t feel like it…
Anyways I have some friends in the area and will make an effort to come back and try the actual BBQ and update.

We stopped in here while we were in town for a wedding… wow. We split the three meat dinner with ribs, beef, and sausage. It was UNBELIEVABLE. We got dirty rice and beef Mac n cheese (def reccomend!) it was great, absolutely enough for 2 people, and only $ 13 including our extra side of hush puppies & a coke.
evans bbq… please open up a second shop in DC? :)

I have no idea why I haven’t stopped in here until today. I’ve driven by this joint enumerable times and didn’t really give it a second thought.
The other day after my less than stellar BBQ from Junior’s I decided to try Evans.
Am I flipping happy I did! I’ll upload the picture I took that said to me «This is going to be good, son!» I ordered the two meat plate, ribs and sausage, I bravely ordered even though I knew it was possible to get more Ekrich…
This is NOT ekrichy in the least. I don’t know if its homemade but it’s a brand that I couldn’t immediately spot and that’s a good thing. It has a good smoky flavor, some peppers and black pepper ground up in it and it was good by itself. It worked well in the BBQ sauce as well, which itself was a lightly sweet, mild heat chunky sauce (onions). A little sweeter than I typically prefer but it worked so I kept using it.
For side dishes I got the macaroni salad and beans (read chili). Both were good, however the beans weren’t what I was expecting as in reality; they aren’t beans, its chili w/​beans. No biggie, just because I expected traditional pintos doesn’t mean that it will be. They had a wide variety so I’ll try another pair next time (and there will be a next).
Ribs… sweet, salty, crispy, moist, well-​rendered fat and a deep smoke-​ring penetration and rich flavor. These were very good, again I’m not a fan of sweet but this worked very well. Very very well. These were lipsmacking good. I found myself rationing out the ribs to prolong how long I got to eat them.
All the folks inside were very friendly, this place at a cursory glance is «immaculately» clean. Its pretty spacious too and looks like it’d be a comfortable place to eat in at as well.
So sorry Evans, I truly and deeply regret not finding you sooner. I will return and the tasty factor may keep me from going anywhere but Randy’s and Evans!

Great ribs! Great ribs! Great ribs! plus I think Ms. Johnie is an Angel

The food is amazing! The wait after you order can be long so try to call in your order in about 20 minutes ahead of time. The ribs are incredible and the fried catfish is good as well. Don’t let Johnnie (lady always operating cash register) intimidate you. She is a gem but she is the sheriff of the place and takes care of business!
I once had them cater a party and my guests LOVED the food!

The ribs here are the best I’ve had in Texas.
I prefer dry rub and you can go wrong with theres. There is a variety of sides to choice from bit they have this Mac side with beef in it that is very good. Philly cheesesteak is good but I’ve had better. Fish plates are above average. No no refills on punch wow! It wasn’t that good to tell a customer no. Despite the drink issue If you ever in the area this hidden restaurant is a must try.
