Well, when you are in a small town, where else do you go eat for lunch but a double-wide trailer way off in a small residential community? My customer took me to a nice little, true soul food place called Eva’s. Yes, she has her restaurant actually located in a converted double-wide trailer sitting right off a narrow street blocks off the main road. You just know that something good is about to be tasted.
We walked in, the converted back door/porch, to an open area with tables/chairs and walked over to the counter. They have your normal spread of meat & 3 and a small menu to order sandwiches. I got mine from the daily food bar: chicken fried pork chop, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy along with a yeast roll. Now, just ask my wife, I am not big on any of these; except the roll. The pork chop had a thin fried crust that was wonderful but not to be topped by the juicy white meat of the seasoned pork chop. This was one good little chop. The macaroni was your higher end elbow noodles with three kinds of cheese; very good but rich. The potatoes were very creamy and the brown gravy just topped it all off. Of course, the homemade yeast roll was excellent with a little chop stuck in there.
What even made this better was they had homemade lemonade sitting behind the counter; not too tart or sweet and very good. I can say I have now eaten at Eva’s. If you are ever in Clayton, be sure to swing by Oak Ave and have a little taste for yourself.
