342 W Bankhead Hwy | Villa Rica, GA 30180

Evan’s Barbeque Company in Villa Rica opened its doors in November of last year. It is family-owned, and named for their six-year-old son Evan.

Michael and Alicia White have a combined 40+ years experience in the culinary industry. A graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, Michael honed his culinary skills for nine years at the world renowned 21 Club in New York City, followed by four years at The Capital City Club in Atlanta.

Stumbling upon the fabulous Bankhead spot that had served Villa Rica for over 30 years, they both agreed it simply “felt right.” They decided to preserve the old-time nostalgic atmosphere after hearing all the many stories told by locals who had come to the drive thru & to go window with their families since they were small children.

Art, stained glass windows from old country houses, vintage mason jar lighting, a local artists nook, an antique gas pump left to them by Michael’s father and his grandmother’s mailbox have enhanced the country, yet eclectic, atmosphere Alicia and Michael were seeking to create.

Customer Reviews

The quality of the food is excellent & the service is second to none. It’s the best BBQ restaurant in a 25 mile distance.

This is some good behind bbq! Pulled pork melts in your mouth and the ribs are so flippin tender. Hubs got a Boss Hog sandwich and it made him have to eat it slowly because of how jam packed it is with the good stuff AND A GREEN TOMATO. Cant make that man eat vegetables to save his life but he loved the fried green tomato.

And these spareribs are not the rinky dink ones you find at those sorry chains like Applebees and Chilis. These things are massive. I got half a pail, six ribs. Took me 3 mealtimes to eat them.

Greatest ever. Perfect ribs, sauces, and sides. Happiness. I will drive from Carrollton to Villa Rica to eat at Evan’s any day. I love their food so much that I am going to have them cater my wedding rehearsal. Pull pork egg rolls are the best.

I just love this restaurant!!! Can’t say enough good things about this one in a million BBQ joint… This family run business is clearly the owners pride and joy, from the quality of food to the great staff, Evans is a gem in Villa Rica’s crown ;-) the food here is so delicious, you gotta have the pork spring rolls, boss hog, Brunswick stew, ribs… Well, ya gotta try it all! I also really love the atmosphere here, they’ve created a gathering place for family and friends and that is so welcoming and genuinely warm. You’ll always see a smiling face at Evan’s and know that you’ll be really well taken care of. Hats off to this very special restaurant :-)
