We shop in Uvalde about twice a month. It is 40 miles from our home, but they have all the big box grocery stores we need. We usually make it a day trip, hitting what we need and having lunch before heading home. This time we decided to visit Evett's BBQ. Evett's BBQ. This is a small, family run operation famous for 60 years.
Located right across the street from HEB it is an easy commute as well as a listing as one of the Top 50 BBQ joints in Texas. www.texasmonthly.com/restaurant/evetts-bar-b-que/ Still an honor, considering. They not only offer on-site dining but carry out and catering as well. On this day we decided to stop in for lunch.
The menu offers the usual suspects: brisket, pork, ribs, sausage, etc. They also have an enormous selection of sides.
Ordering is typical with a wall mounted order screen and you order right from the pit. Barb selected the Sausage Sandwich, and I chose the Brisket Plate with Potato Salad and Green Beans.
We were satisfied with the meal. Barb said the sausage was a bit bland, but I think she often expects spicy. It was standard sausage after all. I found the brisket moist and tender but could have had more spice. The potato salad was excellent and the beans spicy, YUM! They did ladle a bit of sauce over the meat, but there was no BBQ sauce available on the table. The service was excellent and friendly. All in all, it was pretty good. The total for our meal was $28.19, about average at today's prices for beef. On a scale from 1 star to 5.......
