Some of the most impressive restaurants are also hidden gems, and you would never suspect a former abandoned service station to be serving up the best BBQ in the state. That’s just what you’ll find in Evansville, though – tasty Wyoming BBQ with a southern twist. Check it out, and make plans to visit!
If you're traveling east of Casper, Wyoming on Highway 25 or 26, you'll drive right past a motel and former gas station, and chances are, you would never know you're also driving past some of the best Wyoming BBQ around.
HQ Southern BBQ is tucked away in a former service station in Evansville, just a short drive from the heart of Casper, and it's the most impressive hidden gem restaurant in the area.
Step inside to this humble BBQ shack and make yourself at home. Order a drink from the bar and grab a seat, or settle in at one of their tables or booths.
HQ is known for their slow-smoked, flavorful BBQ meats. The ribs are some of the best you'll ever have, and their dry-rub is the perfect compliment to their tangy and spicy sauce.
Their BBQ chicken is juicy, salty, and packed with flavor and seasoning. There's nothing like smoked chicken when you're really craving homestyle food.
Good news - if you can't decide what to try, you can order the Tennessee Triple sampler platter! Enjoy ribs, pork, and chicken all on one plate. If you ask me, it's the only way to go!
The menu at HQ Southern BBQ features several specialty sandwiches, if you're looking to mix it up. Their chopped brisket sandwich is delicious, and their spicy chicken sandwich is great for those who love their meals with a little heat.
Every side dish on the menu will remind you of your Mom's cooking. The mac and cheese is particularly popular, but you can't go wrong with baked beans, slaw, or potato salad. They even have brisket chili!
If you plan ahead, you'll show up when they're smoking some prime rib. This is a Thursday through Saturday evening special that is so tender and juicy, you can cut it with a fork. Yum!
