I've been coming here for years, like 20 years. This was my last visit. Food was horrible. Not to mention Ms Johnnie has retired. I was informed that it was still family owned, but whose family, somebody didn't pay attention on cooking skills. I pray that it gets better, but I just wasted money on something I couldn't eat, ribs were large and non tender and nothing but fat. I'm not gone mention fried okra, how can you go wrong with fried okra, oh but they did, overcooked crumbs, about 6 they gave me. Service was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ? GOOD LUCK
Visited Evans BBQ Saturday, May 7th about 3.30pm. There were a few people waiting when I arrived. I placed my order and waited, and waited, and waited, etc… In between FINALLY getting my order 30+ minutes later they managed to screw up EVERY SINGLE ORDER called before me! Some folk got items they did NOT order, some didn’t get what they DID order, customized (baked potato), orders were not fixed correctly, etc… On my end, I didn’t get my peach cobbler (they ultimately filled a “large” container only HALF FULL), nor the slice of pie and that was on top of the guy from the back trying to hand me a rack of ribs over the counter IN THE FOIL WRAPPER… and NOT in a bag!? Really? He’d actually done that with someone’s side dish earlier.After being a customer of Ms. Johnnie’s for over 10 years, the service and food quality is just not the same. Not sure I’ll be returning.
Was looking for good catfish and decided to try this place due to the 4 stars it had. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!! Will not ever be coming back. Ordered a fried fish and shrimp combo (2 pc fish/ 4 pc shrimp). Waited 30 minutes and they werent even busy!! Got the food and left irritated since I was going to be late to a meeting due to the order taking so long. Food was disappointing. Fries were soggy, catfish piecese were small and very thin, and the shrimp was a joke! Shrimp was rubbery, flavorless, and not even fully coated in whatever cornmeal mix they use. Dont waste your money at this place!!! Spent almost $18 for some bs food. Definitely not the place for seafood, they need to take off the menu!
I went because I was referred to this place. Wasn't the best experience for my first time and for the money spent. I ordered what I thought was a 2 meat dinner, but was informed after I had paid that I was getting the 2 meat PLATE because you can't mix the meats with the dinner. So... "2 meat plate" ( ribs and links; sides were potato salad and Cajun rice), a large banana pudding and a small peach cobbler... $25 ($24 and some change, that put me closer to $25). Got home and opened my plate... I had what appeared to be about a tablespoon full of rice and the same for the potato salad, some sliced sausage, because I don't believe they were links, and 3 ribs. Rice was bland, along with the banana pudding AND the peach cobbler, and the potato salad was a bit runny... It had slid down under my meat, which is why I initially thought it was a good amount, until I lifted the meat and slid the potato salad back into the partition on the plate. That's when I realized that there was barely anything to eat, smh. The only thing that was decent for me was the ribs, but they were smaller than I expected, and one had a lot of fat on it. Bananas in the pudding were already browning, and the peach cobbler had very little flavor. If the food had've been right, then I wouldn't have minded what I paid. But to order something, barely get any food, and 90% of the food wasn't good...it's hard to give a good review. Service was decent though... ??♀️, but this was a first and a last for me. Not saying that this is how it is always, because it was my first time, and I was referred here, which means they typically have good food. I just wish I had a better experience. Maybe it was a bad day for them... We all have days like this.
They are getting worse by the days.They are always out of everything.I just bought (3) Pork Chop Dinners because that's pretty much all they had. The chops are baby sized and hard as heck!Shameful!I have been going there for 20 years, but I'm Done!
This place has been my favorite BBQ diner for years. The last two visits weren't so good, with yesterday being the worst. The plate looked good, but the beans were very salty and the dirty rice was just dirty. The ribs didn't have the usual glaze nor smoke. In fact, they were cold, hard, and small(like some men I know). I will give them one more try.
Very flavorful and priced just right. The ribs have me craving for them a week and 4 hour trip later. You will not be disappointed.
This business is so slow , every time I order me a chop beef sandwich , it’s takes them 30mins!!!! Its outrageous how slow the customer service is . .. and my food was cold after waiting on my lunch break . Terrible, I should’ve just went to H&J bbq ‼️‼️‼️
I had the fried catfish. And the food was terrible. Almost inedible. I wanted to throw it away it was so bad. I don't see how people can give this place 4 stars for anything. The food is overpriced, too salty and has an after taste. You'll never catch me within 100 yards of this place again. I cannot recommend this place.
Great tasting BBQ and tasty side items. Reasonably priced menu items, definitely my go-to location in the neighborhood.
