    Inside dining room
    J Warren R.

    Exceptionally well-made sliced brisket sandwich, served promptly with a smile. The people at the counter could not be nicer. Insisted that I sit down and they would get my drink while I waited for my meal. I think they knew I was on a long road trip and their care and concern was well appreciated. The sandwich was large, Texas size portion. Beautiful smoky aroma and tender. I was given a choice -- the point (juicy) part of course. Inside dining room was comfortable. They appeared to be doing a booming take away and drive through business. I am so glad I found the Lost Texan -- it was a great taste of home.

    Brisket Sandwich with Slaw
    Wanda H.

    It's places like this that make me LOVE travelin'! It's a tiny little place, but the food is FANTASTIC!!! I had the Chopped Brisket Sandwich (I had a toothache issue!) and it was really good! The slaw was OUTSTANDING! CanNOT remember what hubs had, but I know he enjoyed it. The service was excellent and the prices were good. So glad we made the stop here...

    It's a cafe that does BBQ. Good BBQ but never a Texas top 50. A sliced beef sandwich should always include a side.

    Always great food!!! Love everything on their menu! Chef salad, chicken bites, brisket plate, and cobbler are a few of my favorites.

    Good food. Friendly staff. Ask for gravy on the side unless you like your steak swimming in it.

    Nice, un-pierced folks running this joint and it was pleasant to sit under a canopy with the…read morebreezes a-blowin' on a hot day. Had ribs, sausage, tater salad and fried cabbage. Ribs were incredible. Very peppery and basted with a vinegar-based mop sauce. Quite different from The Shack's (Lubbock), which lean more sweet. Sausage was outstanding. Quite possibly the best I've had anywhere. I assume they have it prepared to a proprietary recipe given all the sausage production in and around Slaton. The sides were good, but not as good as the meat. Mustard-based tater salad was of the mashed rather than chunky variety. Good mustard flavor, but I prefer chunky tater salad. Never had fried cabbage before, but this was very good with lots of bacon in it. I'd definitely order it again. Pleasant although primitive atmosphere at this joint. It's located in an ancient gas station/auto repair building and they haven't done anything to fix it up. But it absolutely fits with the food they serve. BBQ ain't alta cucina and in some ways the more rude the setting, the more appropriate it is. At any rate, they played good music--CCR, Fleetwood Mac, America, Dion and the Belmonts, etc. Bottom line, as long as joints as good as Pitforks and Smokerings and The Shack are open in the Lubbock area, I don't see any reason to be bothering with the lines and lack of seating at Evie Mae's. These are the local joints that are getting my cue money for the foreseeable future.
