Evie Mae's BBQ

Barbecue

$$

Located in Miramar Beach, this spot's focus is on Texas-style barbecue. The sweet smell of smoke fills your nose as you approach the space, and once inside, step in line, order and wait for your cut-to-order meal to be called. Do not miss the green chili cheese sausage; a large link dotted with peppers and gooey pockets of cheese. Next, try the smoked turkey breast with a black pepper rub, both moist and flavorful. Notable sides include the baked potato casserole, a warm potato salad with sour cream and cheese elements and the sautéed green beans with bacon.
