The owner and employees, especially Bailey, are AMAZING!!! I recommend this place highly! You know how most BBQ places, when you get the baked potato you have to mix everything up and it's kind of annoying? Not here. Everything was mixed and the pulled pork was put on top. It was fantastic!! All I can say is WOW! The decor was adorable with the little sign pictured. There was a sign in the bathroom that said wash your hands - don't be gross. there was also an awe's

One of the joys of traveling around Texas is finding places like this. We'd spent the previous…read morenight in Lubbock and our bartender at the restaurant told us about TC's Ponderosa. He'd grown up in the Dickens area so it was a local favorite of his. We veered a little out of our way to stop here for lunch and were so happy we did. As others have mentioned--you'd drive right past it if you didn't look closely. Looks like an almost-abandoned gas station. Inside, it was packed with people, including a local rancher buying lunch for the cowhands working her ranch. That's a big endorsement in my book. As mentioned in a couple of reviews, this isn't the place to be in a hurry. Orders were written down by hand and the money was collected by a sweet, friendly woman who grew up when the world wasn't so uptight and fast. Bless her heart for sticking to her pace. You can get stressed out it or you can settle in and enjoy the moment. We enjoyed every bit of it. The food was the final payoff. Damn good BBQ. Everything we had was good. Pretty good chance I'll be on the motorcycle again in west Texas and an even better chance the day will be planned to be in Dickens when I'm hungry!

I would definitely recommend getting there about 20-30 minutes before they open because we arrived about five minutes before opening, and the line was already wrapped around the building! But that was okay because the wait was part of the fun! They literally have FREE alcoholic drinks set out in the lobby, on ice and ready for the taking! Talk about a great introduction to the meal! And as if that wasn't enough, they had another surprise that absolutely made my day! When we walked up to the counter to order, I asked which desserts might be gluten-free. Their response? EVERYTHING in the dessert case was gluten-free, and EVERYTHING on the menu was gluten-free aside from the bread used for sandwiches! I WAS IN HEAVEN! The only problem? Narrowing down what to order! We went with the #12 - 1/2 lb of Every Meat with 3 Pint Sides, which included 1/2 chicken, pork ribs, green chile cheese sausage, brisket, turkey, and pulled pork. For our sides, we chose jalapeño creamed corn, potato salad, and green chile cheese grits. And, of course, we topped it all off with Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and Chocolate Pecan Pie! Words cannot describe how much I dined with a HUGE SMILE on my face knowing that EVERYTHING was gluten-free!!! Even after a little mishap with one of the BBQ sauce squeeze bottles malfunctioning and accidentally exploding all over our food (especially my Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!), I was STILL smiling! Why? Because the owner heard about what happened, rushed over to help us clean up, and then replaced our BBQ-sauce-swamped plate with fresh meat AND desserts! I mean, TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! She was an absolute delight, and her response made an already memorable experience that much better! :) MY FAVES: The chicken was SOOOOO moist and flavorful, which is no easy task! My favorite side, hands down, was the green chile cheese grits! They had the absolute PERFECT texture and such a mouthwatering flavor! And dessert? Neither pie disappointed, but I LOVE a good peanut butter and chocolate combo! The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie was very rich, but worth every single bite. I'm STILL perplexed at how they managed to make that gluten-free crust so soft and flaky! The entire staff was super accommodating and seemingly HAPPY to be at work! The decor was super fun, and the restaurant was well-maintained. WELL DONE, EVIE MAE'S!!! Next time we're in the area, we are DEFINITELY coming back!

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.
