Evie Mae's BBQ

A fantastic spot for top-tier BBQ! We arrived around 11:15 am on Sunday and while the line was about 30 people deep, it moved super fast. They even offer free beer (Yuengling and Busch) while you wait, which is a nice touch. The BBQ itself was incredible; the brisket was great and the ribs were impressive. The #6 family platter is a seriously good deal and comes with a ton of food. For sides, don't miss the corn and the baked potato casserole. The coconut cream pie was fantastic and fluffy, though the banana pudding was just okay. It was a little warm inside, but honestly, it was a small price to pay for such a great experience. It's easy to see why this place has been in the top 10 for the last decade!

We heard of Evie Mae's through the word of mouth, and pulled up on a Sunday afternoon. We waited in line for about 10 minutes to place an order, and it was really cool to see that they write what items they ran out of in real-time. I ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and pulled pork, and chose the potato salad and baked potato casserole as my sides. I originally wanted the green beans, but they ran out when I was going to order, so I panicked and ordered the potato salad instead. The brisket was delicious! Very flavorful. The pulled pork was super juicy and also tasted great. The potato salad was not my favorite, it was very pickle-heavy and I do not like pickles, so I did not finish it. The baked potato casserole felt like it was missing something, and I added some salt and pepper to enhance its flavor. There are plenty of condiments available, including white bread made in Texas! The seating in this area is pretty broad, and you likely will have to share a table with someone since there are large tables. This was a really cool experience and I am so glad I was able to visit.

Very good bbq. Great that they offer a 4 meat plate to try the different options. Staff even gave a pit tour. Get there early!!

WARNING FREE BEER! Best BBQ I have had in a long time. The workers were awesome and owner was super sweet. I had heard so much about this place and finally got to try it out. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely come back and try the secret menu sandwich The New Mexican. We tried green beans with bacon, jalapeño cream corn, beef rib, smoked turkey, green chili cheese sausage, sliced brisket, and single pork rib, smoked chicken salad, and baked potato casserole. This place is a must if you visit Lubbock. Be sure to get there early, trust me. Beef Rib is only sold on Fri, Sat, and Sun. I believe it is limited quantities on them so when they run out they’re out. Don’t worry the pork ribs are equally good as well as all their other meats. If you can only pick one side get the baked potato casserole. Didn’t have room for deserts but the pies looked phenomenal. I really wanted to try the limited peanut butter jelly pie and will come back for the Keylime pie. Oh did I mention yes free beer, say what you want I opted for the Margarita Topo Chico! If I had one recommendation I would request them to add Cayman Jack margarita fiesta flavors to the beer trough in the summer.

The top 10 Texas BBQ ranking is not by chance at this place. The food and service are always top notch. When the owner greets you at the register and takes your order on a mid-afternoon Wednesday it is refreshing. My favorite is 1 meat lean brisket with collard greens and green chili grits. They make it look easy but behind the scenes there is great attention to detail. You are not a top 10 bbq spot in Texas for eight year unless you are great.

We came to visit friends and they invited us here must say hands down has to be my top 3 Bbq Places in the Country we had the family meal for 7 and the meat chicken turkey and the side where amazing mouth watering if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Thank you

They close at 3 pm or when they run out of food. We got there at 145. They were out of brisket. All they had was ribs, which were great and sausage. We had pie for dessert which wasn't good. On a positive note. They have free beer. So we were kind of disappointed in having no brisket. But it must be good if they ran out. So get there early.

I have to say, this place is what I think of when I get asked about Texas barbeque. I for into town this morning and 2 hours later I'm in line. The most tender, juicy, melt like butter in your mouth brisket ever! And the flavors are on point. The sausage is the best, they need to put these in the stores! The pork ribs outshine any ribs in Georgia and every BBQ joint I've been to in Georgia, I'll tell them if they are good or not, but they really need to try these! I wish I had the appetite to get some turkey as well!! Next time, or maybe I'll try the one in Miramar and get the turkey there! I'll be back for sure. Oh, almost forgot...don't the Texas Sheet Cake for dessert, you won't regret it!!

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. Not only is the food EPIC, but Mallory and her peeps are the model of what a business should do when someone needs an accommodation. Loud, Raucous APPLAUSE. (Jay)

Absolutely loved the bbq. The meat was savory and smoky and paired well with the sauce. My favorite was the sausage which had bits of cheese and chiles inside. The potato salad and casserole was a nice side to cut through the meaty bbq. They had a whole pickle bar and bread you can eat with the bbq. Get there early because they do sell out and there's usually a line out the door. Inside was cute and they had a bunch of free seltzers and beer.

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.

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.

Best BBQ in Lubbock ! Get there early as items do sell out! We always stop in if we are in town.

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.

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.

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!

By far the best BBQ I've ever had! Was recommended to come here and did not disappoint! It was busy but worth the wait.

We had takeout from Evie Mae's to celebrate my nephew's graduation. The brisket was tender and delicious. I also really enjoyed the cheesy grits. Definitely worth a stop for the tender meat!

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!

The food was excellent. I recommend the brisket and both the German and cheese sausages.

My favorite BBQ place in town! You'll always get great service and delicious food. Everything is good here. You can't go wrong. Be mindful about what time to come here, and don't arrive hangry. It's a popular place and the line can be long.

Food was delicious, beer was free. Can't ask for more. Very helpful and friendly staff, lots of seating but it fills up quick. Got there 2 min after open to a line of 40+ people, line moved quick though so no worries. Very Texas. Thank y'all for a great time and some great food!

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!

Five stars for food, service, and ambiance. Absolutely worth the 20 minute drive to wollforth,

The best barbecue in west Texas. The ribs were phenomenal, and we loved the burnt ends as well. The line is a little long, but that's part of the experience. Get there early! It's worth every penny.

Fantastic BBQ and great service! The ownership are a fantastic couple who care about their employees and are very giving to their community! Plus, the BBQ is disrespectfully good.

Best BBQ in LBK hands down! Friendly staff, clean and spacious restaurant, the brisket, collards, sausage, coleslaw, and cornbread is out of this world good! My husband is a big fan of the coconut cream pie too - it's his favorite. We love this place. Highly recommend!

The best pork ribs I have ever had. Moist still had a chew great seasoning. We met the owner Mallory and she is absolutely committed to making a quality product. We had not ordered brisket and Mallory was not going to allow us to leave without tasting her brisket. It was outstanding nice pepper crust, moist and just the right amount of fat. Side dishes were great as well cheesy grits was on point. Wish they a place 7 hours south

Always great food, I love the turkey breast! Sides are flavorful and delicious. Desserts are huge and always a satisfying way to end the meal.

There's no shortage of BBQ places in Lubbock. I chose this one and don't think think I need to look any further. I be back!

If I ever become terminally ill I will come here for my last meal. Loved it from the first bite years ago. Best BBQ in the country and I've had a lot. Burnt ends are my favorite but it's all good. My favorite place to eat in the country.

No wonder they are on Texas Monthly's top 50 BBQ restaurants! The food is very good. My favorite is on the weekends when they have beef ribs. Definitely don't want to miss out on that one, but make sure you get there before the line gets too long or you won't get one. Their service is great. Staff is friendly and attentive to it customers. TheaAmbiance makes it a home town feel and a lot of seating. Whatever you get you won't be disappointed. Make a trip to this place and you'll be back again and again.

Good ol Evie Mae is doin somethin right out there in Lubbock... Seriously tho, if you find yourself in Lubbock TX, do yourself a favor and check this place out. I'm a KC native and, admittedly, I can be biased at times, but I recognize good bbq when I see it, and I'll happily give Evie Mae her flowers. Beans were the only thing I had here that were just ok. Everything else was fantastic. 4.5 outta 5 easy

We were not impressed as my son commented it just taste like meat. Best to worst Turkey was only meat with a nice smoke flavor and tender. Brisket was tender and moist no smoke and no spice. Sausage it was sausage hard to mess up Ribs idk looked pretty little dry no flavor back skin on bone was left on and came length of rib kinda gross Pork loin dry no flavor Pulled pork was dry stringy and tough All meat required bbq sauce to be eaten. The sides Not bad I liked the tangy potato salad beans were good and better with the corn bread. Dessert Pecan pie was very good Cobbler crust had a dry crumbly weird taste. Today was not a top tier bbq joint kinda day Nice new building could use more restrooms wanted to wash up before I ate but 3 people waiting to use the single stall.

My husband and I helped moved our daughter and her husband to Wolfforth from Utah. Evie Mae's is right down the street, so we stopped in and boy, was I happy we did. Every time we visit Wolfforth now we have to eat there. The ribs are the best I've ever had (except maybe the ones we smoke at home). The cornbread is excellent and also the baked potato casserole is so yummy.

Evie Mae's is truly celiacs disease and gluten-free safe. That being said everything is always amazing. I love the sliced brisket and ribs, the meat is moist and is fork tender with potato salad and the pinto beans - Outstanding. The spicy chopped sandwich is pretty awesome too. You can't tell the toasted bun is gluten free too. The chocolate pecan pie was amazing. It was gluten free too! Can't wait to go back!

We were in town Sunday, March 10 and heard about Evie Mae's on the Texas monthly list. They posted a surprise 'we're closed today' mere minutes before time to open. After looking at the menu the night before and studying the menu, we had our hearts set on it and skipped breakfast to fully enjoy the experience. We even drove by before church at around 9:15am to see if there would be a line, there was no sign on the door at that time indicating they would be closed. So we went to church anticipating good things after we would get out. Show back up at 10 minutes to 11 and there is the sign 'closed today'. Needless to say I was very aggravated. I can understand that people have lives and situations might come up or emergencies, but you are running a business and should take it seriously. Have a contingency plan to keep the doors open when you promise and stick to it. If you need to permanently change your hours make sure to publish it months in advance and make sure the announcements and documentation goes out to all sources at least 2 months before so people don't make plans. If you are on the Texas monthly list, people will be traveling to try your food. This is beyond inconsiderate. If I'm ever back in Lubbock, I doubt I'll give this place another shot because they have shown themselves untrustworthy.

Very nice BBQ outside of Lubbock. Get there only a little bit to avoid the lines. I arrived at 8:00am on a BEAUTIFUL summer day in Lubbock. The temp only reached 84 while I was waiting outside in the perfectly clear sky and slight breeze. The only problem is that no one showed up until 10:30am. At 10:35 it started to look like the Elementary school drop off. Quite a line of cars started pulling in. By the time they opened, I counted about 50 heads. I figure some of those folks would still be waiting after 1. Arrive just a "little" earlier and your total wait time will be MUCH less. I went with the three meat sampler. I just LOVED the ribs. The brisket was almost as good. The german sausage was spot on. Seemed a bit spicier than I was expecting, but still good. I just LOVED the cheesy grits. Wow. Brilliant there. My favorite was actually the lowly green beans. Seemed like they were baked in BBQ sauce. That was a unique treat. Try this spot out. More than once! Just come a little early and expect a wait.

The food is BBQ however, it's the best I have had. Service is extremely fast and the restaurant is always clean. But by far the best thing about the food are their Ribs. Oh my! If you haven't tried the ribs you should!!!!! Also, everyone is so friendly, even when the line is out the door.

Free beer on tap and canned beer! I've been here twice while visiting from Houston. The brisket is perfectly moist and melts in your mouth. It doesn't need any sauce and I like grabbing some white bread and raw onion to make myself a sandwich. The pork ribs are good, so is the chicken, pulled pork is just okay. All of the sides are solid but I have a special place in my heart for the jalapeño cornbread and its delicious buttery-ness. The key lime pie was packed with zest and flavor. The staff has been patient, kind, and quick with getting your food. I'll continue to make a stop at Evie Mae's every trip to Lubbock- highly recommend!

Great deal! I like be this place and the people that make it happen! Nice place and even nicer people!

Real Deal BBQ in WTX, this is the second time I've been to this BBQ spot and I've been impressed both time. Service line is super fast and efficient and the atmosphere is really relaxed, Beer is on tap or in a water trough grab and go style witch is a very unique experience. This time I decided to see what the poultry was all about, the turkey had the perfect amount of spice and the half chicken was some of the juiciest I've had off of a pit. Of course we are in TX who can forget about the brisket they do it up right, delicious with or without the sauce. Side 1: Pinto Bean a refreshing contrast form the normal BBQ baked bean most places serve these come with the right amount of seasoning to make you want a second bite. 2 Baked Potato Casserole is truly spectacular perfectly creamy and cheesy you'll be mad you didn't order more

Legendary BBQ! You must try Evie Mae's if you're in Lubbock, TX. Locals know this is the place and you will be happy you went!

Fast line, came early. Family friendly. Food was good for west Texas bbq. Service was polite and informative. Banana pudding was light and fluffy but needed more cookies. Collard greens were quite nice best I've had on this side of Texas. Cheesey grits by far the best side. Brisket could have been hotter and more flavor just tasted Smokey meat. Ribs were rendered perfectly but wish it had more salt. Sausage casing was more stiff than I'd like, forcemeat was good.

Food was amazing. Never been to a place where the beer was free. Food was served super fast. We're from out of town. I can see why so popular.

All good been there twice good eats both times, ribs and pulled pork were delicious, this will now be my go to bbq place. Can't wait for them to serve into the evening.

10 best we have had since moved to Lubbock. Only thing, they aren't open on Sundays & Mondays. Hope that will change & be open 7 days.

This barbecue is the best! It is not too greasy and the flavor is outstanding. The atmosphere is also nice. The staff are always friendly and quick to wait on you. The only downside is it is small.

I don't even know where Wolfforth is but I'm still going to talk about this company. Actually, after doing a little bit of homework, I learned that they are just outside of Lubbock. Having not visited the Lone Star State in over thirty years, I wanted to get a taste of the touted and famous Texas barbecue fare, especially after trying the highly acclaimed one in San Diego as provided by a local food consolidator. In studying their menu, I convinced my friend to share some of the food with me and promptly ordered a couple of things to try. The two items were a pack of green chile cheese sausages and a full rack of the St. Louis pork ribs (sold frozen) which were well packed (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-Iwh2WWJyt8Ru3qEuXfz7g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). For my first meal, my portion was one green chile cheese sausage and a quarter rack of the St. Louis pork ribs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=VsKM0zQeqnclqzka5r6YCw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), using the cooking instructions provided by the consolidator on their website (pretty simple - 375F for 10 to 20 minutes on a pan or over a grill). The ribs were really tasty, seasoned deeply with a dry rub; my only issue is that I like my ribs wet and no BBQ sauce was provided - do you have or make your own?. Luckily, I had some left from the San Diego order and dipped these ribs in their sauce. How tender were these ribs? Well, the bone was clean, free of the tendon or ligament part that normally sticks to the bone. The sausage is deceivingly pretty large as I used a knife to slice it into pieces before eating. It is interesting to watch the cheese ooze onto the plate as I sliced it. The flavors are good and it has only a touch of spiciness so you may need to use hot sauce if you like it hot. After this rib experience from two different geographical places, I must admit that Texas won my heart. I hope that they offer some form of sauce on their delivery or shipping business and would love to compare their side dishes with other places, local or delivered. Now I can say that I've tried Texas barbecue.

Great food... fun atmosphere... super nice employees! Ordered a three meat plate and had enough to take home for leftovers.

I love Evie Mae's! They have the best bbq in Lubbock and I will definitely be coming consistently

Evie Mae's BBQ in Wolfforth, just outside Lubbock, is ranked 8 in Texas Monthly's top BBQ joints. I have had my fair share of BBQ and I wasn't super impressed with it, honestly. The wow factor wasn't there. The chili was good as were the ribs and turkey but the brisket was a little dry. I also liked the cornbread. I was glad to take my local clients there who had never been.

Made the mistake of trying this place again. And like a regret trying the first time well the second time was worse. This really is some bad bbq. I don't understand how people like it. If I could give it 0 stars I would have.

Woke up early in Lubbock Texas as I needed to go early to eat @ Evie Mae's Pit Barbecue. Arrived @ 10:40am to start the line for Great BBQ. Soon other bbq lovers started to show up to join the line. I was thrilled to be the 1st person to walk through the doors of Evie Mae's. The people that work here are nice and patient and will answer any questions and make suggestions, One of the great things about this place is that you can buy food buy the pound or as a combination plate. We got the 3 meats plate (brisket, ribs & sausage) which includes 2 sides for the great price of $31.00. For dessert we got a huge slice of S'mores Pie for $4.99 to go/planned to eat later. Oh, did I mention that they have FREE can beer here! Remember to get 1 as cold beer & BBQ are a great combo in Texas. This place has lots of parking and lots of tables to sit at. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is pleasant and feels like Texas. I highly recommend you make the drive to Evie Mae's.

Excellent BBQ! AND...they have all the food allergens posted, you don't have to ask a million questions the employess don't know the answer to! Everything is gluten-free (!), including desserts (!) and they have a lot of dairy free options and know what is or isn't going to meet your restrictions :) Highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent barbecue, everything was awesome. Staff are helpful and friendly. There's no need to get here early and wait in line (at least during the week. There are still open tables 45 minutes after opening.)

Food 10/10. Customer service 2/10. If you forget someone's food, don't seem put off when your asked for the food, then serve another 20 people, and still get it wrong.
