Evie Mae's BBQ

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.

The best ribs I've ever had! The sides and desserts were just as exceptional. Surpassed all hype and expectations! Voted the best in Lubbock and undoubtedly will continue with that streak!

Today's stop.. Evie Mayes in Lubbock, Texas. (Wolforth) We heard this place was the best BBQ and always has a line a mile long! So, we decided to stop in at 11am. Great choice because there was no line at all. We walked right on in. Ordering was super fast and simple. Decent selection on the menu. We chose to go with a family meal since there were 3 of us. Family meal was a better cost effective option than an individual plate. It cost us $77.77 and was supposed to feed about 3-4 people. (We're fluffy and love to eat). We wanted more food for our buck! 🤑
We ordered our 4 sides, potato salad, loaded potato casserole, greenbeans and jalapeno cornbread. We literally got 1 cornbread to split amongst the 3 of us. That was a bit crazy. (We fought to the death for that cornbread.)
Atmosphere was friendly and inviting.
Staff was very courteous and happy!
Food I wouldn't say super flavorful but good. All the fixin's were there for you to self serve.
After a bit the entire restaurant got packed.
We did enjoy our lunch and most definitely the desserts! I would rate this about a ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ribs were the BEST part. Highly recommend the ribs. #eviemayes #lubbocktx #foodie #texas

Planned my 2022 cross country road trip around this place and boy did they deliver! Brisket was so tender, just melted in my mouth. Ribs were so tender with that pink smoke ring you always look for with any great bbq establishment! German sausage was my least favorite of the three, but was great too. Something has to come in third!

What separates great bbq places from the pack is not only the meats, but the sides (and maybe dessert) too. Evie Mae’s BBQ delivers on all fronts!!! The cole slaw was crisp and sweet and the potato salad was mustardy with chopped dill throughout! The corn bread was moist and flaky!!! Evie Mae’s makes their desserts too so I had to try their coconut cream pie!!! Just outstanding!!! Tasted so fresh and delicious!!! Plenty of indoor seating so you can comfortably heat despite the sweltering heat outside!!! Can’t wait to return one day!!!

When I used to live in Odessa this 4 hour round trip to eat at Evie Mae's was well worth the drive. Now, living in east Texas it's not so easy. I sure miss this place. The sausage was good, but not great. The ribs didn't disappoint and didn't want to stay on the bone either. Very tender and juicy with a great flavor. The oh my goodness brisket was awesome. Fork tender, with a great bark. Woof. Seasoned perfectly. The sides of cheese grits, which I enjoyed as much as the bbq. The coleslaw was also top notch. Now dessert. Which I rarely get, but couldn't pass on, because I've had it before. The key lime pie is among the best I've ever had. Nice and sour. Go here if your ever in the Lubbock area. Be prepared for a line, but it's usually not to bad. And don't show up late or you might not get what you came for.
