Customer Reviews
The staff here was very friendly and fun to deal with, especially the cashier. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Don’t get me wrong, the meats were cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious. But the bark, my favorite part of smoked barbecue, was lacking some flavor and pepperiness. The portion sizes were pretty decent and they run on average with what a lot of barbecue places charge
It was my first time there. The food was good! Definitely recommend the corn muffin!! The atmosphere was nice and it wasn't too crowded for a Friday. The chef's behind the counter were super nice!! The women's washroom could use some work tho. The guy in the office or register could have been a little more friendly too. But overall it was a good food spot. And not too busy for Friday lunch.
Armadillo Willy's recently remodeled. They added new Pepsi art inside the restaurant. It was a bit sad to see them mostly empty at around 7pm. Last time I was here, they got rid of the flavored mineral waters. This time, the ginger ale, flavored lemonades, flavored ice teas and etc are now gone. For to-go, I got my favorite, brisket and ribs family pack $79. The meat was a bit dry. Luckily, there's plenty of BBQ sauce included. The garlic fries were soggy by the time I got them home. Next time, I won't order them for to-go. The food is still good. 2025 update. This is the last remaining Armadillo Willy's location out of four. Tonight's meal was an El Jefe sandwich (pulled pork, brisket, sausage and slaw) $19.50. This was OK. Their family packs are much better. They recently got rid of the
The tater tots were so good! They were very crispy and not oily. I loved dipping it in their original sauce. I had their baby back ribs too and it was okay. It was pretty dry and didn't fall off the bone and I dipped it in the sauce for flavor. There were plenty of tables to choose from, you order at the register, grab a seat, and wait for your name to be called for your order. It's pretty loud in there so you have to stand near the window to listen for your name. Overall I'd come back for the tots and try something else.
The food experience here is super mid. The brisket and Texas BBQ ribs are drying than my kid's chicken tenders. It was edible with their BBQ sauce but it was a struggle. The ribs do come off the bone pretty easily and the fatter pieces were quite tender for the brisket but again, super dry. Mac and cheese was good. Fries were okay but nothing really stands out.
