My husband drove an 18 wheeler and we kept hearing about Evelyn's Soul Food and we wanted to try…read morethis place out but every time we went there it was closed. Finally we passed by there one day and saw that it was opened so we stopped and went in. The place was clean and the food was smelling so good. We ordered some smothered food and since we were going out to a job we got it to go. They were very pleasant to us. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend this place, you just gotta sneak up on em!

I also ad the queso and it was very flavorful. There was only one waitress, she was high school aged, and she worked her butt off giving excellent service as the place rapidly filled up.

They were fresh and amazing. I was the only one in our group that got sweet prairie fries, everyone was snatching them out of my basket. Lol They were short staffed when we were here and out of half of their menu, but service was still good. We had to wait a long time for our food, but it was worth it. We live an hour away. I'd come back here even though it is not on my way to anywhere! I'd come back just to eat here!!

With only three restaurants in the small town of Blessing, you certainly can't go wrong with BBQ. You can smell the flavor in the smoke, once arriving at Smokin A's. I just happened to arrive before the long line lunch rush. You order at the counter & the courteous staff members bring your food to the table. Fountain drinks & tea are available self serve. I ordered the brisket & sausage plate with beans & potato salad. The brisket was amazing, tender, flavorful & just fell apart in my mouth. The sausage was also very good & had a tasty smoked flavor. The BBQ sauce was prefect, not too watered down & really enhanced the meal. The beans were also good, but the overly mayonnaise drenched potato salad recipe could be improved. Also, only chicken leg quarters are offered on the menu. No chicken breast option, which is my favorite healthier choice. Still... it was a very good first dining experience! I will certainly try again.

My husband had a hankering for barbecue today so we searched out the local barbecue joint and found…read morethis little place. It's a small little building three very nice ladies working there and they have several different items on the menu so we chose the stuffed barbecue baked potato. It was very good. My only suggestion would be that for the size of the potato. It does need a little bit more barbecue on it but other than that it was delicious.
