Love this place! We have several BBQ restaurants around us and we drive the extra 15 mins to eat here. The staff is super friendly and the food is amazing!

Was a bit lost driving outside of Atlanta and stumbled upon Evan's tonight and it was so damn good! I'm in town often and, had I known of the place or if I was aware of a town called Villa Rica (pronounced by the marble-mouthed locals: Viluh Rika,), I would have eaten at Evan's thousand times by now. The food is great, portions huge and the layout relaxed and the result of a very inventive and welcoming use of space. Evan's is a bright star that, luckily, lit my way in and through this strange little town and headed back to Atlanta, belly full and take out boxes in tow.
**also: amazing music: freebird one minute, nico singing 'these days' the next!

The best restaurant in town! The food is amazing. They have a very unique menu, and no matter what you order, you can't go wrong. The staff is amazing. The owners will bend over backwards to make sure you have everything you need. Very family friendly as well. I will be going back for sure!

We drove from TN to try Evans BBQ because we had heard it was the BEST BBQ! We were not disappointed! The BBQ egg rolls were amazing as well as the Boss Hog sandwich! The family friend atmosphere was great for our 2 little ones. It was worth the drive and we will be back for sure! Thanks for a wonderful dinner :)

I don't know how this place stays in business. The hours are never the same. Be sure to call to make sure they are open before you go. And that might not even help. I called today to make sure they were before I drove 20 minutes to get there and the girl told me they were out of everything but hotdogs. I'm pretty sure that the owners do not know that paying customers are being turned away 20 mins before closing time just because the employees are to lazy to cook.

This BBQ joint has just undergone a huge make over, and is under new ownership... IMPRESSIVE is an understatement!!! Best BBQ ever :-) Chef Michael White has outdone himself, the food is phenomenal! Family friendly, laid back, culinary brilliance! AND, family friendly pricing too! My new favorite spot, hands down! And, I really love the atmosphere at Evan's, it has a warm upscale rustic feel, that can't be beat. A must have, are the BBQ egg rolls ;-) Mmm, mmm. Genius!

This is a diamond in the rough. Not your average BBQ hole, but one that will soon know you by name because you are unable to resist the temptation of its call. The BBQ egg rolls asmarties green tomatoes are a must; the pork simply melts in your mouth. There is not a single item that you can order that will steer you wrong. I absolutely love the vintage feel in every detail from the exposed rafters, tin wrapped room and mason jar lighting. Come hungry or go home-----via their convienant drive through or take-out window.

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. The BBQ egg rolls are something I would have never thought of, and they are delicious. Good portion sizes for the money.

Evan's BBQ has only been opened 2 weeks and we have been there 3 times. They have some of the best stew that I have ever had. The staff is amazing and the rustic decor is comforting as much as the food is. I love this place and will make it a weekly staple for dinner for my family.

I was invited by a friend for a private event hosted by Evan's. I made the trek from Asheville and didn't know what to expect. Atmosphere was surprisingly eclectic with a nice feel. While they were not.open to the public, the owner surprised me with the BBQ eggrolls. OM---best things ever. I will definitely return and am looking toward to the grand opening. Thanks from Asheville

Upscale Barbeque with a Twist. Our motto is simple, we smoke our meat low and slow. From corporate luncheons to black tie barbeque, no event is too large or too small.
- General Info
- Evan's Barbeque Company is family-owned, and named after Michael & Alicia White's six-year-old son Evan. Stumbling upon the Bankhead spot that had served Villa Rica for over 30 years, they both agreed it just, "felt right." Michael holds a degree from The Culinary Institute of America and worked for nine years at the prestigious 21 Club in New York City, followed by four years at The Capital City Club in Atlanta. Alicia worked under several celebrity Chefs in New York while attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Their 13 years spent in New York City provided them with immeasurable experience within the culinary field. Remaining in NYC for a year and a half following the birth of their son, the duo eventually decided to return to their Southern roots, seeking more spacious surroundings and closer proximity to family members. Michael uses as many local purveyors and fresh ingredients as possible in his menu items and the smoker is always rolling. Michael's method is simple, "low and slow." Michael, Alicia, Evan and their two-year-old daughter Sage Wren are proud to have called Villa Rica home for the past five years. They, along with their entire staff, thank you for your continued support.
