It's some picnic tables and a smoker. The brisket is possibly the best I've had and many of the sides are exceptional. The chicken is quite good too.

Asked for burnt ends and ended up getting super fatty brisket. The pulled pork was not even identifiable as pulled pork. It was a slab of fat. Overhyped by instagram influencers. would not go back.

Expensive! Two briskets, 1/2 rack of ribs, and a piece of cornbread came to $86 with tax and tip.
Yummy food and a casual and fun atmosphere!

Evan's is hands down one of the best BBQ joints around. Every visit has been spot-on — not a single miss! The brisket is absolutely killer, and that summer salad hits the spot (gotta balance out the meat and healthy items...right?).
For my birthday, my wife catered from Evan's, and they nailed it. One of the standout items was the smoked chicken, and let me tell you — the tray of chicken thighs they delivered looked like something straight out of a championship turn-in box.
Each thigh had a beautifully rendered, bite-through skin — a true pitmaster's touch — and the meat was perfectly juicy, coming clean off the bone without falling apart. Flavor? On point. Smoke? Clean and balanced. It was BBQ chicken perfection.
I would add a picture but that tray of chicken got hit like a trash can at midnight by a family of raccoons!
Amazing BBQ, must try

TOTALLY here for the meats! But… my GOODNESS this is the best Mac and cheese and cornbread I’ve ever had. Hard to find a spot that nails BOTH the meats AND sides!
This was some of the best bbq we have ever had. The mac n cheese was better than my homemade mac n cheese...which says a lot!!! The nana pudding was also the best I ever had!!! Everything we had was orgasmic!!! Will definitely be coming back!

Evan is the best!!! I wanted to order bbq for a work event and I knew just the person to call! Evan helped me choose a big menu to feed 100 of my employees! The brisket was sooo moist and juicy! The chicken was tender and flavorful! Potato salad, mac n cheese, coleslaw, and cornbread alll rocked our socks off!
Delivery was even so easy and set up was a breeze! I appreciate Evan and his team!

Overview:
Evan’s Smokehouse is a quaint outdoor BBQ restaurant. It’s not like any other BBQ places I have ever tasted. This Southern style BBQ have a taste that Californians has never tasted.
Ambiance:
The outdoor seating concept makes you feel like you are having a BBQ in your back yard or at a campsite. It’s a great place to hang out with family and friends.

The Beef Brisket is so tender and flavorful.
The Pork Ribs is also tender and have a slight sweetness (very slight).
Potato Salad? I can eat this everyday and that is all I have to say about it.
I still need to try the other options on the menu, but it’s so hard because that Brisket keeps luring me back in.
You have to try for yourself.

Hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had—tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is inviting, with outdoor seating, wooden chairs, and red umbrellas that perfectly capture a charming country vibe.

Broken shade umbrellas splinters in my rear end from old wooden benches and the owner brags about everything

Food was not all that the coleslaw was horrible I tried to return it and the girl behind the counter acted confused like she didn't know what to do my wife got the pastrami sandwich and there was a lot of fat in it to the point she couldn't eat any more I got the brisket and it was fatty to all the sides you have to order separately for 6.99$ for a Childs portion not worth the price and the service .

The food was good... not great. There weren't a lot of options and it definitely wasn't $50 good for two small dishes. If it was under $40 I would of considered it worth it, but the quality and quantity just weren't there.
Kid-friendliness: It's an open area, so they can run, but the condition of the furniture is concerning. Open nails and splinters everywhere, be careful.
Wheelchair accessibility: It's an open lawn.
