While in Villa Rica I came across this neat looking BBQ place called Evan's. The outside of the place looked different and looked like a really cool place to eat. First the good stuff. They have three different places to eat there. You can eat in a separate building, a picknick area between the two buildings and inside the main building which is a little small but cozy. The wait staff seemed super friendly and always smiled. Hannah was my waitress and she did an awesome job. The food was served on tin plates which was really cool. People around me had BBQ sandwiches and some had wings. Today I had a BBQ plate with Mac-n-cheese with jalapenos and green beans, and cornbread with a sweet tea. The Mac-n-cheese was ok, it was really really cheesy. In my opinion it had too much cheese. The green beans came straight from the can to my bowl. They needed to be seasoned with something to add flavor because they had none. Hannah brought me some slaw in place of the beans. The slaw was ok. The cabbage had way too much water so the slaw was more of a soup than a slaw. The meat was kinda dry and without the sauce I couldn't have eaten it. I didn't see a smoker outside so I don't think the meat was cooked in a pit or a smoker. The meal was $12.99 with drink. In my opinion it was way over priced for the quality of the food. I believe you are paying for the ambiance of the place more than for the food. If I go back I might try the wings, but not the BBQ.

Wow. If you are traveling down I-20, you will want to make a little effort to get to Evans BBQ Company. You will not regret your decision. The experience starts with the quaint setting in a shaded courtyard. Colorful decor liven up the area. Greeted by a smiling staff enhance the experience as they are on point from overall service to knowledge of the menu and wonderful suggestions. Started with BBQ egg rolls. Crisp on the outside, juicy & flavorful BBQ pork on the inside. Wings were the choice for the three kids. Lemon Pepper, BBQ and Mild were the three choices. They are smoked AND fried. What a combo!! Mild Buffalo was my favorite but would do all three again. A friend and I split the Boss Hog and Chicken fingers. You ask why chicken fingers? Because they are huge chunks of chicken, hand breaded, served crisp. Looking and tasting, it is obvious there is a labor of love going into the dish. The Boss Hog was good. A big sandwich with a little of everything. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great way to get the full experience but the wings were the winner today! Definitely hit this place up if you are near by. Make sure to drink enough of their delicious sweet tea so you don’t fall asleep on the way home. 😁

Evan’s is the real deal if you like BBQ. The spare ribs keep the tips on them so they are very large. They are served in a pail, which was cool. The ribs were fantastic. A nice marbled outside which I love. The sauces are really good. They have a sweet BBQ sauce and a spicy. Both are great and the spicy won’t kill you. It’s tasty more than HOT. I was informed I needed to try the Fried BBQ Egg rolls. This is a must order. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever had. Just delicious. Dunk them in BBQ or dunk them in the provided spicy remoulade, or just eat them straight, you really can’t go wrong. If you only get one thing, get the fried bbq egg rolls. A Completely unique twist on an egg roll. The beans were fantastic and I loved the corn bread also. The only thing I didn’t like was the slaw. It’s just too “smooth” for me. Very fine and not crunchy. I’m sure others may like it, but it’s not for me. When you go, the seating is in the back either outside between the buildings, or in the back building. It’s odd. Evan’s is a terrific meal. I’ll certainly be back the next time I’m anywhere near the area.

This is one of the few places I have been that I feel genuinely deserves all 5 stars. They hit perfect on service, atmosphere, and most importantly food. Their BBQ was not dry at all. It was moist and savory. My wife got the ribs and they were amazing. I am not a huge fan of the "egg-roll" thing, but the remoulade it is served with made up for the sort of weird wrapper. That said, the sides were amazing as well. The greens were seasoned without being overly salted, the Brunswick stew was good without being just glorified BBQ sauce. Understand, I do not usually like sweet style sauces, but their sauce is good. Their spicy sauce is even better in my opinion, but I highly recommend you try this place out. When we go back, I am getting the smoked wings and the peach cobbler. Update: Yes, the service was fantastic. I can not remember the young lady who waited on us, but she and the rest of the staff in general care about your food and experience—I was impressed. When people are enthusiastic about their job, it really shows and speaks to the quality of the whole business.
