A great mom and pop business that is just a treasure. Run, don't walk, to Evan's. Great people. Great food, and of course, a great gyro.

Very small, family run diner in a tiny little strip mall. If you don't know it's there you would easily drive past it. The parking lot is small, maybe 6 cars can fit. Service was excellent and fast. My friend and I both had wraps that were delicious. Others around us had salads which looked awesome. If you're in the area this is a great place to stop. read more

I just moved to this location and stumbled upon this great place. This is place is as good as it gets, its a tiny little gem of a mom and pop store, employing even their son, cooking fresh, clean, simple food for a good price. I was immediately welcomed by the mother, who sat me and treated me like her own child. It was extremely welcoming. The menu is massive, and divided into Greek food and your standard American diner fare. I decided on the Greek Salad dinner with grilled steak for about $12. The meal came with soup. The food was great, like I said before, simple & clean. The portions are huge. There wasn't one thing off about my meal, I ate a home cooked meal and felt taken care of. I will be coming here regularly, watch out! The one caveat of this place is the limited parking which can be a little dicey. read more

Fantastic diner. My daughter and I enjoyed our meals (pancakes and chicken club sandwich). Friendly staff and great service!

Excellent greek food and classic diner favorites. Kind and friendly staff. We usually get takeout but the interior is warm and cozy.

Delicious fresh food, huge portions, reasonable prices, friendly family-run establishment with open kitchen and neighborhood vibe. Busy on a Saturday afternoon with dine-in customers (spaced out accordingly), but got our takeout order quickly. Definitely will be back. read more

Great place for Greek food. We take out from Evan's regularly. Gyros and Greek salads are our favorites.

Evan's food is delicious and the service is great. You can dine in or take out. Authentic Greek cuisine and never disappoints. I've been a customer for years. read more

The food was fresh and tasty! Don't be put off by the decor or parking. Had the Greek salad and a beef gyro with fries. Yum. The fries were cooked perfectly and the pita was fresh. Tried the spanakopita and it reminded me of a quesadilla, very cheesy but it lacked something. All for $35 read more

Outstanding gyros, burgers are great Great breakfast and lunch menu Greek food and sides awesome Good coffee too read more

Yummy gyros. Fast service. I like supporting small places like this! They have a small parking lot in front too

This is a family owned, Greek restaurant - I find myself consistently going here to pick up lunch. The spot is very casual and is rather small, so I do recommend picking up rather than dining in. My go-to salad is the Greek salad - it has pieces of tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and feta cheese with a light dressing. Warning - I used to get the chicken in it - but one time, I felt like the chicken was slightly under-cooked, which really freaked me out. I now just go with the Greek salad and no meat, and it's always delicious. Again, pretty good spot for Greek food. read more

My fiancé and I moved right next to Evan's Restaurant 4 month ago we wondered about the place being that it was so close by but, didn't try the place until today and I must say I'm only sorry I didn't try it any sooner . The service was awesome very friendly and prompt. I always enjoyed Greek food and the food here was delicious very tasty , hot and big portions. My fiancé had a burger when I saw the burger I was amazed how big it was he loved every bite best part it was made fresh with real meat not process frozen skinny patties lol I had a cream of turkey soup which was very good and pastrami and egg sandwich delicious I was so full I couldn't finish the sandwich. We will definitely be back definitely recommend it for those who like good food This is my other halve that I'm about to finish now read more

Evan's Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Evan's has been around for as long as I can remember but for some reason, I don't go there much. However, when I do, the food is always on point. I usually get breakfast from here. The French toast platter used to be a favorite of mine. During my most recent visit, I just got a breakfast sandwich. It was a simple bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll but everything was cooked to perfection. If you want to check out a local business, this is as local as it gets. I believe Evan's is family owned as well. While other businesses around this restaurant are going down, Evan's is still standing so that should tell you everything right there. Aside from good breakfast food, their specialty is Greek food. Check it out if you get the chance. Don't be deterred by the outward appearance. read more

Evan's Restaurant - Inside - Diners Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Love this little Mom & Pop restaurant. Always so friendly and outgoing. Food never disappoints. Small place only a few tables.

99% positivity rate in my opinion from all my orders from Evan's. The staff is always friendly, their pieces are reasonable and their food is delicious! Authentic Greek recipes (I love the chicken kebabs) and classic Americana done perfectly (breaded chicken sandwich, breakfast sandwiches, wraps). OH and probably the most important thing: THEIR FRENCH FRIES ARE ALWAYS PERFECTLY CRISPY! Thank the holes in the styrofoam box, why doesn't every restaurant do this?? Love Evan's, highly recommend. Although- if you don't live close it's a bummer they don't have delivery. I literally live 1/4 mile from them so it's no problem ordering for pickup. I think their food is worth it regardless. read more

Had a lot of difficulty trying to order delivery so I eventually drove here to order food. The Greek salad was delicious and fresh. Portion and price were great. I'll definitely be back. read more

Local favorite- Family owned and opposed. Best gyros ever!!!! Love their tzatziki and their rice pudding

I don't know why else to say about this place other than it's awesome. Fresh food, the best gyro and balaclava. Friendly staff no matter how busy they are. Definitely call ahead and place your order or you could be waiting a good amount of times for your food because the line is long and the phone doesn't stop ringing. read more

Was starving after a hike in the area and we came across this cute little Mediterranean spot! We got two combination gyro platters and fried calamari. Good amount of food, even took some to go. The food was really good, generous portions and the staff was super nice and friendly!! Good experience overall! read more

Great basic greek food. Not fancy but very fresh & tasty. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Glad we found it, easily overlooked. Will be back again. read more

Foods decent but not sure if I'll return here. I've been going to Evans restaurant for a year as it's only a few mins away and have gotten delivery from them about 5 times. Foods good, waitresses are normally very nice. Unfortunately when I called today, a man was fairly rude on the call and said they never delivered and questioned the fact that I've ordered from them. Never used DoorDash, Grubhub, etc. Always ordered from them directly. Due to the customer service, I decided to go to a different diner instead. They're really busy as it's a small restaurant. Edit: the Facebook team just reached out to me and apologized for the inconvenience. They clarified that they deliver on weekdays but not on weekends and was really nice about it read more

This place is a gem, found it accidentally and decided to give it a try. Family owned and staff was very friendly. I had the beef gyro and chicken kabob platter. Platter came with Greek salad and fires. Food was excellent and will be coming back regularly. read more

Just had a DELICIOUS falafel veggie wrap from here. The falafel is clearly home made and freshly fried. The combo of the hummus, lettuce, onion and tomato makes this a refreshing light lunch. It comes with fires too but I passed on those and was still full. read more

Got the garden salad with grilled chicken, and a beef gyro with fries. Amazing, food war ready in 10 minutes and everything was as fresh as expected. Will defiently be back again. read more

Lived here in the area for 5 years and never been to Evans till today . Great food and very friendly staff

Definitely a hole in the wall place but the food is surprisingly good. My husband had gyro and I think I had beef or lamb kabob. So glad we went. It was great. Service was good read more

A good down to earth place to get great food. Nothing fancy or eloquent about the appearance. Western Omelette cooked to perfection with great home fries and toast. My good friend had the Evans omelette special which comes with feta cheese. Coffees were very nice. Parking is not the best and you have to proceed with caution backing out since it is so close to the road. read more

Great and clean restaurant with amazing food. Staff is so very kind and friendly. Would go everyday if I could.

Pretty good Mom & Pop's restaurant. They have really good food for a diner. They have all kinds of American food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and also Greek/Mediterranean food. We came here on a Sunday morning, and there was no wait for a table. All the food we ordered was comforting and delicious and they have a couple different vegan options. The vegetarian burger and the falafel wrap is really good. Portion sizes are huge, but if you come here hungover like I did and you're a savage like me, order a few different things. They also play sports on television, which I can appreciate. read more
