8 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Evansville

“Just getting back from our nashville trip, tired not wanting to cook, we scrolled through food on Google and stumbled on Lonestar! Let me tell yall! First, these guys know how to make cornbread! And It ain't cracker barrel bread! Second, we did order a tad late, so they were sold out of brisket and ribs (the 2 I was wanting lol), the lady on the phone was nice and when we picked the order up, they apologized but also told us to order sooner, lesson learned yall because if the chicken and pork is this dang good those ribs are probably fall of the bone and out of your chair, slap your grandma good! So I ended up getting the 2 meat combo and hubby got the Texas torpedo. My God! ❤️ BEST $36 spent in a while, including Nashville food!! Enough food for left over lunch tomorrow:) we are die hard support you local small business believers, and I'll tell ya what! This is one that will continue to have out business! (I didn't rate the atmosphere due to not dining in, but hubby said everyone was super nice when he picked up our food). Next time we will sit in! If yall want some actual real food, you can taste and smell the smoke, friendly, fast and well worth every penny??? GO EAT HERE AND SUPORRT THIS PLACE! We all know here in evansville, not a lot of places make it real far! Let's give these guys our business! Thank yall for good food and good service! We will be back! :)“

“We just ate our carry out order from the Bandanas in Evansville. We've eaten at all of their locations at least once. It's my pleasure to say this location is without a doubt THE BEST of all of the locations. The next time we are in the area and want bar b que, we'll be by for more for sure.“

“Check them out for catering! The food was simply amazing!“

“Miller’s catered our wedding reception, and made everything seamless! Our guests loved the food, and they were so easy to work with. Highly recommend!“

“I just had your special (Thursday) it was the best sandwich I have had from there. Thanks“

“This place is amazing , dragon ball z and k-pop on the tv’s. Very neat interior design. Pros: some unique dishes, serves soju , the owner is nice and interactive with guess a major plus. They have aluminum chop sticks very excellent. Great place to hang out. As to the sushi, since this is a Korean place I won’t be as hard. The sushi is tasty, presentation is great. May one complaint is the use of pollock fish (aka imitation crab) it is used in a lot of there rolls and this is a turn off to diehards. My recommendation is to incorporate more raw fish or drop the price of all your rolls by $2. But beyond that I definitely recommend giving this place a visit. I intended to return here again in a few months :) it was an enjoyable adventure!! Also note the Korean food here is excellent.“

“Hickory Pit Stop is one of my favorite spots in town for BBQ. And it's the only place in Evansville that you can get mutton! The restaurant is always clean and even though it's very casual and laid back it's a great place for a business meeting or to get together with friends for a beer. Their ribs, chicken, pulled pork etc is always excellent - the trophies on the walls attest to that. Don't miss their burgoo either. They are in the 4th generation of the Ellison family running the business (currently Cameron), and have been serving some of the greatest BBQ in the Tri-State area since 1957. They use real hickory wood in their smokers and BBQ on what is probably the only original brick pit left in operation in Southern Indiana. Highly recommended!“

“The food is awesome especially the rolls! Great Margaritas as well!“
