Staying near by and found this place. Certainly looks like they've expanded adding outdoor and covered but open indoor seating. I went a little after 5pm on a random Tuesday and it was pretty empty. Service was friendly and fast. I got the brisket sandwich 8oz, corn bread, and Mac and cheese. I would recommend going with the 6oz, the 8 is enormous. It was lean but tasty. However, the cornbread was the star of the show, would highly recommend. The Mac and cheese was just ok. Solid spot for a meal.

Best Barbecue within an hour of my home other than Pioneer Pit Beef in Windsor Mill. Andy Nelson's has much more to offer though, including live music events and amazing southern sides.

This place is great! Their ribs (especially the dry style, which I liked best) were excellent and the atmosphere feels very southern cooking. They don't even have a fryer basket in the joint, which is awesome by me! More authentic that way. The ribs were fall off the bone, delicious, and we'll done. The staff were very friendly, prices are reasonable, and food tasty. What more could you ask for? 10/10 would recommend!

I’m very glad I chose to go here. I read some recent reviews that suggested it was not as good as it had been, but taking bites into the smoked chicken wings and brisket brought a nostalgia to my taste buds all the back to my Kentucky roots. It’s on the peppery and vinegar side, which is a more true flavor for southern bbq. So, if you like it sweet go to Mission BBQ. Good bbq doesn’t need sauce and you certainly do not it here. If you like it that way they do have some great options. I had the brisket, pulled turkey, bbq beans, red skin potato salad, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. The real winners are the brisket and cornbread. All in all, I will be back.

This MD local establishment has graced the Baltimore area with superb BBQ for decades, while providing laid back seamless service. I had the sliced brisket sandwich, Baked Beans, and Mac. The sandwich goes well with the Bama sauce, and the Baked beans were smoky and had diced red and green peppers. The homemade lemonade was also delicious, not too sweet, not to tart.
