My cousin took me here and said we need to get there early to stay in line what I didn't know was they would rapidly be serving us a beer while we waited in line so fun so cool!! now for the barbecue, it was absolutely amazing large portions tasty food, and free beers during your stay this place is a must come early. You'll stand in line. We had a great time and loved it. Super friendly staff also. Yes they have unsweet and sweet tea as well. read more

A really nice energy when you walk into the door a lightness of commercial ambiance and feel. Really clean, nicely organized for patron flow around the line and right into the dining area. As I always do I ordered the brisket burnt ends and the original sides of tater salad and coleslaw (as a honest comparison of the TX Top 50). 1lb of brisket that was the superstar of the tray as it should be. Really good flavor and an even smoke that never was offensive "mesquite bite, hickory bitterness" due to really seasoned oak wood presumably post oak. Sides were fine/traditional ACV style slaw to cut the rich brisket, maybe an egg yoke, dill tater salad that was right on the money. Over all a really good bbq representation of Texas smoked beef, not sure I'd rank 10th in the top 50 but glad to taste what others voted on anyway. I will say the condiments "raw jalapeños" and their layout was a really easy and appreciated change from other bbq joints. read more

Evie Mae's BBQ is worth the trip and a revisit in the future! My family enjoys hunting for great Texas BBQ. We have completed the 2017 and 2021 TX Monthly Top 50 BBQ list. We started the 2025 list and we are more than half-way through the list as of June 2026. Heading to the spots in West Texas takes some logistical planning, patience, and lots of gas for the drive from the Texas Gulf Coast. On our recent BBQ quest to West Texas, my family stopped at one our favorite spots (top 5), Evie Mae's BBQ in Woolworth. This was our third time to visit Evie Mae's. I'm a Texas Trinity traditionalist. So we always order the brisket, ribs, and sausage. The brisket was very good - great bark, nice smoke ring, and well seasoned. I will say the brisket was a bit drier than I remember but I will chalk that up to us arriving thirty minutes before they closed. Ribs were excellent - smokey sweet and moist. We got the Jalapeño Cheese sausage which was a wonderfully spicy and cheesy with a a nice snap to the casing. We also had the Cheesy Grits and Potato Salad which were wonderful. The pint of cheesy grits were completely gone. We also picked up a couple of the homemade cakes to complement our leftovers. Oh, did I mention the free beer too? That always accentuates the BBQ experience. The restaurant is still as warm and inviting as before. Parking is easy. The staff took good care of us and were still in good spirits before closing. The first time we were there we got to meet Mallory Armis who sold us on the Green Chile cheesy grits and we aren't big fans of grits. We look forward to there grits. While we briefly saw Mallory this time she was busy. Hoping to meet Armis next time we're back. Hat's off to the pitmasters and staff at Evie Mae's BBQ. We'll be back. read more

One of the best bbq spots I've had! I took my friend who was visiting and she loved it. The meat is always smoked perfectly and the sauce has a nice spice to it. The potato salad was great too! Service can we slow but the line is worth it and they have free beer while you wait. You know the food is good when you leave with your clothes smelling like smoked wood read more

Evie Mae's BBQ absolutely lives up to the hype. I got in line at 10:30am for the 11am opening, and even though the line looked long, it moved surprisingly fast - they really have efficiency down. The free beer while you wait is such a fun touch and makes the whole experience even better. The staff is some of the friendliest people you'll meet. Once you pick up all your food, there's plenty of large low top and high top tables to enjoy. The beef rib was insanely tender, the chile sausage was my favorite (packed with flavor and perfectly cooked), and the brisket was exactly what you want: juicy, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything is smoked low and slow and cut to order, and you can truly taste the care behind it. The potato casserole was so comforting and a unique side! read more

YES come here and get the brisket!! The ribs were our second favorite. Sides: potato casserole was the best, also tried the corn, collard greens, and corn bread. Free beers, need I say more. Don't drink the water. It is literally brown. Awesome that the bread, pickles, onions, peppers are all self serve. We came on a weekday around lunch time and there was a small line (maybe 8 people ahead of us) but plenty of food left at 1pm. I hear on weekends this place is crazy busy and they run out of the best stuff before 2pm so come early. Plenty of seating, first come first serve, casual atmosphere. read more

I think going to school in Lubbock had me spoiled. When a place like Evie Mae's was only a 15-minute drive from your apartment, it was easy to expect all BBQ to reach the highs of a Texas Monthly Top 10 BBQ joint. I always returned to Evie Mae's every three months or so, and it was always a great start-of-the-school-year and end-of-the-school-year option for me. From my past experiences, here are a few things I know: there is always a line, but the line moves quicker than most BBQ joints. The food is served down the line from when you place your order, but they are always on top of it, and it's ready by the time you make it to the end. The staff is also always on point. They are always so friendly. The space is huge. There is always seating even on a busy Friday or Saturday. The desserts are always a treat. Their pies and banana pudding are so tasty and so tempting. They stare at you through the glass as you order, begging for you to devour a slice of key lime pie. Also, being able to grab your own onions, pickles, jalapeños, and bread definitely helps speed up their efficiency. I think Evie Mae's might be the most efficient BBQ joint I've been to. We got there at 11:45, and from being in a line almost out the door and in a completely filled parking lot, it really only took us about 15 minutes to get our food. EFFICIENCY. Their menu is the standard affair, and I will discuss everything I ordered and my thoughts. Brisket: Very good. They slice it pretty slim, but it's flavorful and juicy. Just so well done and well made. Burnt Ends: Burnt ends, when done well, are like candy, and this was as candy as it could get. Green Chile Cheese Sausage: Their specialty sausage is pretty good. I think sometimes it can be a little too cheesy and miss the kick that a lot of other BBQ joints' sausages have, but I mean, you're comparing high quality to high quality. I would destroy a link of this any day. Pork Ribs: So well done, but they can sometimes be a little tougher than I prefer. The sweetness outweighs that, though, and it's so delightful. Jalapeño Corn: The jalapeño corn is killer. It's not too spicy and is so delectably creamy. Baked Potato Casserole: My personal favorite side. It's like a potato salad mixed with mashed potatoes-- buttery, cheesy, and secretly filled with bits of bacon. If you're ever in Lubbock, this place is a must-stop. The free beer is also an excellent perk, but I recommend walking across the outdoor patio and stopping in at Good Line Public House for some quality brews mixed with the Q. Evie Mae's proves you don't have to sacrifice quality for efficiency. Think of Evie Mae's as a Anthony Davis-like player. Just so dang efficient on the floor.

Cool local spot, recommended by many people. I tried brisket 9/10, bbq chicken 7/10, pork ribs 9/10. Beef ribs sold out at 1pm. Collard greens 6/10, potato salad 6/10 and sheet cake 11/10. I really liked the cafeteria style quick service with a smile. They offered a sauce and pickled bar with lots of options. I have already recommended others visiting Lubbock to stop in! read more

Took my son and grandson for lunch. We arrived right around noon on a Saturday so we expected a line out the door and that's exactly what we got. We got to the front in about 45 minutes so in my opinion it wasn't a long wait. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. The pork ribs were cooked perfectly...not falling off the bone nor tough. The sausage was very tasty. All the sides were fantastic. The green beans were a little sweet and paired with bacon which gave it a sweet and salty contrast. The potato salad and beans were great as well. The staff was friendly and everyone in the restaurant seemed to enjoy the experience. This is a great place to have some of the best bbq in Texas! read more

Great BBQ. One of my favorites places to pick up food. Love the ribs. Really everything they offer is great.

Did not really hit like I thought a TX top 50 bbq joint would. Brisket was moist but tasted mostly like pepper not much salt, turkey was meh, ribs were ok prefer a tug to my ribs and the sausage was just not seasoned in my opinion, oh and also got something that may have been chunks of burnt ends. They were over cooked and dry. Key lime pie was the star of the show though. read more

AMAZING! Everything we tried was so good. Came here with my family to get a good lunch before having a wedding tonight and it did not disappoint. The whole menu minus the bread was gluten free, so everything other than sandwiches. The line was out the door but they worked through it in 20 minutes, and answered all my questions regarding my allergy with gluten. All desserts are gluten free as well, which is so rare to find! The place was clean and enjoyable. There was plenty of seating; extra bread, pickles, onions, and bbq sauce was available for you to grab based on your preference. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

This is the real deal. The top BBQ joint in the city, and with amazing quality/prices. You can see that pretty much someone in every single country has come here on their little pin map at the front (although the few antarctica pins were a lil questionable). Try the pecan pie, you won't be disappointed. Chopped brisket and cheddar jalapeno brisket, are spectacular. The bacon collared greens and corn are amazing sides. Did I mention free beer?? It's out of respect that everyone has an honor policy here. This place is the best version of what Lubbock has to offer, good food, friendly service, and an environment that promotes cohesion/community. No wonder it's been in the KBCD top bbq place for years on top of years, and has awards all across TX. Can't recommend this place enough for those who are visiting LBK for the first time! read more

The best BBQin Texas hands down, and leaves the rest of the US in the dust. They are only open for 3 or 4 hours a day 6 days a week since they sell out quickly. The wait may be one hour, but it's one hour to stand and anticipate the perfect meal that's coming your way. Evie's probably doesn't need any more customers, but if you are so honored to eat there, consider yourself blessed. read more

Evie Mae's does not disappoint! We came here on a Wednesday to get take out for dinner. We arrived at 10:50 and there were a few people in line. By 11, there were lots of people in line! They have multiple cash registers so they are able to process people quickly. If you desire, you can drink a FREE cold beer. The dining area is spacious and clean and our large order #12 was packed up for us in just a few minutes. Come early and check it out. read more

This place has hands down the best bbq I've ever tasted! The smoky flavor is perfect, means still tender. The pork ribs had a nice amount of meat and good meat to fat ratio. Those were my favorite even tho all the meats were delicious! we got the family meal with the collard, baked potato casserole. I love the bbq sauce and the meats so flavorful it's hardly needed but a nice addition. The line was a little long but that's to be expected with bbq as good as this. I like how they have a big cooler full of free beers for those waiting in line, it's a nice touch! And just good hosting! lol the desserts were also delicious! The berry cobbler was warm and full of berries and the crust was flaky and delicious on top. The banana cream pudding was yummy and came with a sugar cookie on top which my daughters loved. Overall great experience and we'll be back next time we're in town visiting! read more

Best BBQ within 200 miles! You will love it, and want more. We go at least four times a year.

I should preface this by saying that I've already been to some of the top BBQ joints in the state. Goldee's, Cattleack, and Interstellar to be specific. These have probably given me an unreasonable standard for BBQ. My in-laws live in Amarillo, where there's not much great BBQ to speak of. So my son, father-in-law, and I took a road trip to Evie Mae's. We got there about 15 minutes before they opened and there were probably around 20 people in line. It's a nice building and we could smell smoke when we drove up. One they opened, we only had to wait a few minutes. This has been a longstanding pet peeve, but someone in front of us saved a table for probably more than 30 people and placed a HUGE order. I wish bbq restaurants would process orders of this size separately. Maybe having the person call in or place their order online, then the restaurant could let them know when the order is ready. We ordered brisket, pork ribs, sausage, pulled pork, turkey, chicken, brisket chili, baked potato casserole, street corn, and jalapeño grits. This is where I'm torn. Had I not been to some of the top bbq joints in the state, I think I would have been a lot more impressed. The food was good and I think most people would love it. I just wasn't as impressed as I expected to be. To me, the brisket was tender and juicy, but the flavor was a little bland. It had the flavor profile that most other bbq joints use. Salt, pepper, garlic, and smoked with post oak. I would have preferred stronger seasoning and more smoke flavor. I'm not going to rate them negatively based on an issue of personal preference. But just stating my impressions. In my opinion, the pork ribs were good but not amazing. Not much smoke flavor, but the texture and seasoning were pretty good. Turkey was good. Pulled pork was good. I'm not sure why a lot bbq joints do chicken low and slow, as it leaves the skin tough and inedible. Chicken actually does better at a higher temperature. So the chicken was alright, but probably the weakest item we ordered. I thought the sausage was really good. The jalapeño grits and the corn were my favorite sides. These were great and I would happily order them again. The baked potato casserole was probably the weakest side while the brisket chili was great. All the employees we interacted with were friendly and engaging. The atmosphere was friendly as well. We had more than enough food and none of us were hungry. So there you have it. If you're thinking about going, give them a chance. You may love it. Even though it's not my favorite, I would still eat there again if I was in the area. read more

Evie Mae's Pit Barbecue - Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Wolfforth, Texas

In Lubbock for the day so I had to stop by this Texas Monthly Top 10 BBq Joint! We arrived just as they were opening and there was a line out the door. Free beer as we waited. I think we were in line for 30-40 mins. Beef ribs were sold out by then. We ordered the 3 meat plates to try a little bit of everything. The portions were just enough. We had a total of 5 meats..burnt ends, brisket, sausage, chicken and ribs. Ribs and burnt ends stole the show. Everything else was good but not great. Chicken was a little dry. Sides complimented the meat really well. We had potato salad, potato casserole, beans and corn bread. I've been to Burnt Bean (#1 Texas Monthly) and the ribs are similar if not better. The brisket is no match to Burnt Bean. Not a bad experience at all! I'm glad we tried it. It's def worth the wait! The place has a nice vibe to it too! read more

I heard so much about Evie Mae's and was excited to finally eat there! The desserts all looked amazing and the Coconut Cream Pie was absolutely delicious! The 1/2 chicken wasn't anything special, it didn't have much flavor. (I thought it would have been smoked, but it wasn't.). And the potato salad had too much dill in it. Now I love dill pickles, but it was not enjoyable at all. Will I go back? Yes! And I'll try some other things. read more

bland brisket. Blech! Ordered the meat trio. got three dry, bland, flavorless pieces of brisket. It was tender enough to fall apart in your hands, but the bark was as flavorless as the meat. The cuts I got were dry. The bbq sauce was no help. The ribs were juicy, though the membrane on the back was still attached. The German sausage was filled with grease. I had higher expectations of this place. It reminded me of why I don't like brisket. read more

We got in line at 10:15am, there were already people in front of us. Around that time so many more showed up. Doors opened at 11:00am, that's when the smell hits you and you want to order everything! I have to say the pork ribs were the best I have ever had. They fell off the bone, the smoke was just enough, not overpowering and you do not need bbq sauce. All the sides I got were amazing, couldn't stop eating! I can not wait to get back to Lubbock to enjoy this bbq again. And the people who work there and the people waiting in line were just so nice! Everyone in line talks about their favorites and you can see it in their eyes they are not lying about how good it is. read more

It probably goes without saying as so many people already know: Evie Mae's is the best barbecue in Lubbock County. I'd argue that makes it the best barbecue in West Texas. By experience, I truly believe this to be the case. How can a simple brisket sandwich taste so perfect? Now, I'm from North Carolina, so I won't subject Evie Mae's to judgment based on who has the best pork or chicken barbecue. When it comes to beef, Texas has everyone else beat. And when it comes to brisket, Evie Mae's is the best I've had. Even the sauce is perfect. And the sides? Oh those grits! Carolina better watch out for those grits! Then there's the desserts. So many to choose from, all looking delectable. The staff is nice and friendly the Texas way. Even when the line is long, they keep it moving quick. Prices aren't bad. When it's gone, it's gone. So get here early as soon as they open. Expect a crowd everyday. read more

Was very excited to try this place heard many good things as well and I'm not going to lie it was a total let down. Service was good at least, however flavor was lacking in everything from the brisket and pulled pork to the sides, and the BBQ sauce didn't help. The pie crust was too hard to eat. Let alone there was flies landing on the condiments and onions. Idk if I could give them another chance. read more

If there was a way to add another star, I would. 5 stars across the board for food, service, and lively atmosphere. The line moves quickly and efficiently giving enough time to take in all the smells and sounds with time to mull your choices. We tried the #6 for our group of 3, with a full box of leftovers to spare. 1/4 pound of most BBQ, with 4 sides for $50! We added on some burnt ends (yes, don't think twice, just do it!) a slice of PB pie and chocolate pecan pie. GF? No problem, just skip the bread and buns! read more

This place is the real deal. First, we waited in a long line that let me know we were in the right place. But that line was fine because they have free beer you can drink while you're waiting. Free. Seriously. The food is among the best barbecue I've ever had, and I'm from Dallas. The pork ribs were delicious and I had a sliced brisket sandwich as well.... because how can you not? They're open from 11-3 everyday except Monday or until they run out. So get there early. The staff are also wonderful. Helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. I am coming back here next time I'm in Lubbock. Actually, I may come back to Lubbock just to eat at Evie Mae's! read more

This is a special BBQ place! First of all EVERYTHING is gluten free especially all desserts, which are homemade (except their sandwich buns and white bread). They are also hyper vigilant for those who have gluten allergies, any sensitivites or celiac disease. This place stays open each day until they run out of BBQ then they close, which means if you want to eat here and have a great selection of meats you need to get here sooner than later in the day. I'm also told that to avoid getting a license to sell beer, the beer is complimentary (with limits) which is not something you hear much. And they don't have TVs because this not a place to hang out and party. This place was built purely for eating great food - and they provide just that! Growing up here, I have developed a strong sense of good BBQ, not-so-great BBQ, average BBQ, and amazing BBQ - and I can verify that their 4.5 stars on Yelp is no mistake! I got half-and-half: 1/4 pound of Brisket & 1/4 pound of green chili & cheese sausage ($13) and collard greens ($3.99). The brisket was super tender and juicy and had a wonderful Smokey flavor that accented the deliciously marbled brisket. The sausage was some of the most flavorful sausage I've had, made with green chilis and cheddar cheese in the middle. And no true BBQ meal would be complete without their delicious homemade BBQ sauce which had just the right succulent combination of sweet, spice & smoke which any BBQ connoisseur would expect. My buddy got the brisket chili ($4.99) which was wonderful chili and really hit the spot. To finish it all off, we had to have a few delicious homemade desserts. They have a daily selection of homemade pies, cakes & other treats that are all gluten-free so naturally we got pecan pie which was wonderful and did west Texas proud. We also got a brownie that was moist and delicious and really satisfied the need for something sweet after this wonderful BBQ meal. Well done guys - we will be back...and we'll get there early enough to have the pick-of-the-litter with our BBQ! read more

I'm not a bbq judge by any means, but I was impressed by the pile of wood and how efficient the ordering is even though the place was packed. The brisket is what I'd have to say is if not the best I've ever had, top 3 for sure. The ribs weren't as tender as I prefer, but I've had similar experiences locally, so maybe it's a Texas thing. Everything I had was good, and the overall experience was good as well. I'd definitely come back. read more

As a disabled individual, and as a Certified ADA Advocate, I can attest Evie Mae's goes out of their way when accommodations are needed to access their business.

Went there for the first time. Location was very busy. Personnel at the counter efficient and courteous. Food was only fair at best. The brisket was extremely fatty, potato salad had a wierd aftertaste, beans were good but a little too spicy. The cornbread was excellent.

Loved it all! I was in town for business and the client suggested we go to Evie Mae's. I figured it'd be ok. I can be a bit picky with bbq. First off, it's busy. They had beer to sample while you waited. I didn't try it but thought it was a cool touch. We decided to get a family meal and share. It had 4 meats and we added a few extra sides than what came included. We also added on the jalapeño corn bread. First, the brisket was amazing. Best I've ever had. I will compare all bbq restaurants to Evie Mae's mostly because of this brisket. We also had sausage, pulled pork and turkey. They were out of chicken and ribs. We had baked potato casserole, potato salad, beans and the green chile cheese grits ( which were out of this world) Everything was delicious. Including the banana pudding and Texas sheet cake. Try them out if you're anywhere close! Worth the wait and the drive, I promise! read more
