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. read more

Food and service was great. Bought the Rib Basket good and more than enough food my brother bought the Catfish Po Boy sandwich it was good as well...family and I really enjoyed thank you! read more

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

Evans Pit Bar-B-Que - The 2 meat dinner (ribs and sausage). Comes with 2 sides - I had collard greens and the Mac & beef. Amazing flavor!! - Barbeque Near Me - Desoto, Texas

Great food and great customer service. What more could you ask for? The Mac and Beef is spectacular. The ribs are good down to the bone. Please stop by and get some great food and good customer service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Going here for years. Ordered fillet plate. Fillets got smaller due to pandemic but thats understandable but the plate I got Friday was ridiculous. One fillet was the size of one cut in half and that cut in half again. Asked owner about it and she could care less. It's a shame when businesses can care less about customers and their product. I don't write reviews but had to do one on this. Won't be back again. Just sad. read more

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... read more

JUST left Evans bbq. Bbq & the Mac is delicious, let me start off by saying that. So today I get the Mac & a rib sandwich. I started eating the Mac & beef and I found a short fat SCREW, yes a screw you screw something together with in the Mac and beef (I'm glad I stared eating it before I got home, I stay wayyyyy on Frisco) I took it back & would think I would get accommodated for finding a SCREW in my Mac & beef . NO instead Ms. Jonnie (I'm assuming that her name) told me I can give you 2.29 back for the Mac & beef. ms ma'am is that all you can do for me after finding a SCREW in my Mac & beef . So In order for my to get ALL my money back I had to return the entire meal. Smh THAT WAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICES. She DID NOT TRY TO MAKE ME HAPPY AT ALL . I WILL NEVER GO BACK . !!!!!! wish I woulda took a picture. read more

We love Evans been going here for years but have been disappointed in the food the last few times we have ordered from here. The catfish has been cut so thin that it's been mainly batter that we're eating. The hush puppies and pickles no longer come in the box when you order the fish as well. We would hate to take our business elsewhere but these issues have to be addressed. read more

The food was phenomenal. Very genuine staff I highly recommend this place to anyone that goes. Definitely will be returning.

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. read more

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

I've been going to Evans for a very long time and they always get me right!!! Never let me down and they are like family when you walk in with the greeting and just the comfortability. If you have never tried their ribs that better be your next trip. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Good food better service. I am not a rib fan, but there's are tender and flavorful. The workers recommend menu items and you can tell they really enjoy what they recommend. My go to is the sliced beef, beans, and collard greens. read more

The menu is unfortunately NOT correct. No chicken products, no okra, no onion rings, and no good customer service. The customer service is poor and unaccommodating. Fortunately for them the food is good. But I won't be back because the lady behind the counter didn't seem to care if we returned so therefore we won't. read more

My fries were soggy ( waited for like 20ish minutes you could have given me cooked fries)like they were under cooked . The hush puppies were way to busy for no reason. The fish fillets are small but well seasoned. I had the ham and it was pretty good . The tarter sauce was way too many pickle for the mayo ratio to even bother with. Mostly won't be back. The cashier was nice they have that going for them read more

My first time here at Evans but my thousandth to eat BBQ! Here's the scoop. I walk in staff is friendly, place felt like home. Not one fly or dirty table around. The food was very consistent with taste. The ribs weren't fall off the bone but real smoked meat has a good biting feel. The meat was excellent (Ribs & Sausage) and had a good subtle sweet and light spice to it. Remember something, when people make fall off the bone ribs that means that lots of liquid is involved so you have to wonder was it steamed? Not Evans, hardcore good tasting pit smoke!! The sides, I was surprised that they didn't have normal things like many places I've been. These folks have buttery greens, BBQ smoked beans and get this the beans had ground beef mixed in!! OMG it was tasty. My other side was something I've never had with BBQ which was a tangy dirty rice, finished by 2 pieces of crispy Texas toast. Kind of small but great people and food. Very comfortable and quiet. Awesome place peeps. read more

i love coming here for the mac and cheese. the philly steak sand is delicious as well honestly i love this place just dont get a chance to get around there much. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

OMG!!! This is the best BBQ by far. I have been in DeSoto, TX for about 18 years and I have know about this establishment for about 5 years. I have had all the rest and this BBQ has been rated #1 by me. My uncle moved back to Texas nearly a year ago from Des Moines, IA, and he prefers nothing but EVANS BBQ. Miss. Johnnie, this is the spot for my family when they come into town! read more

Not very good BBQ. Service was unfriendly. Atmosphere was lacking any type of ambience. Plasticware just doesn't cut it. There are at least 5 other BBQ places in Lancaster/Desoto you should go to first. read more

Excellent, fall off the bone tender BBQ ribs. Fresh, homemade green beans, corn and potato salad were exceptional. Dining area is clean but unremarkable so pick your order up to go. Staff was very friendly! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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

The food is delicous, and the service is great but they are super slow. Every single time I come, I spend at least 30 minutes waiting on a to go order when there is only like 2 people in the restaurant. read more

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.

We enjoy the taste of the BBQ and seafood here, but mostly order the seafood. Evan's gives a great quantity of food on your orders and taste delicious. We always recommend our clients to eat from here. We even call and place the orders for them! The customer service is awesome and the employees are friendly. read more

I have heard lots about Evans BBQ that I had to make the 50 min drive. Well, all I can say is " FABULOUS " I was greeted with big smiles from the staff. It's a nice good size place that has excellent food. We had the ribs, catfish, fries, hush puppies & Mac& cheese to die for. Anyone who wants some great bbq that offers a hearty feast, stop into Evans and enjoy !! Keep up the outstanding work.. Will be making another 50 min drive one way soon !! YOU ARE THE MAN !!! read more

Definitely a family favorite. My parents come all the way up from Waco for this BBQ. The ribs and sausage are good but my favorite is the fried catfish! read more

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

We walked in and we're told that there were no chicken dishes. However when we asked about the chicken philly, she said that was the only chicken dish. Mac n cheese was different but good. We had to wipe off the highchair off because it was dirty. My chair was sticky. Ribs were good. Turkey sandwich was ok. Fried catfish and shrimp were good. Place was ok. Fries were seasoned well. read more

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. read more

Writing this review is long overdue. I used to frequent Evans about once a week. I picked up some ribs one Saturday at closing, thought I would impress my date. There were about 8 ribs in a pound, my guest ate 2 .She didn't comment on the ribs. Over in the middle of the night I thought I would have some. They were dry and hard, it should've been thrown away. I was embarrassed because I had boasted on the food. They are closed Sunday and Monday, I took them back Tuesday. The nice lady that normally work the register told me that since I only returned some of the ribs (5 out of 8) she would only give me some of my money back. She said the ribs could not have been bad because they had just cooked fresh food. She wasn't there that night. In most cases you would get a full refund if you are not satisfied or a fresh order anywhere else. I guess that was too much like right. I didn't fuss (A WOMAN IS ALWAYS RIGHT) lol. So I liked the ribs so well I continued to visit. After awhile the ribs got smaller and they were always hard, so I stopped going. Maybe they are doing better now but they lost a frequent customer I had boasted to my friends about the ribs. And I had to turn around and share this experience with them. They said they want be going. read more

love to order food from here! usually where we go or lunch good family owned operated if your in the area stop by its worth the wait!
