I ordered take-out and was amazed by how fast they made it. It was ready right when I got there! (Even though I came early). They spoke to me in a very friendly way. The dining area looks clean & comfortable. I had a mushroom burger (apparently a best seller & fries always come with it) and it was very simply delicious! I will certainly remember them whenever I have another burger craving. I very highly recommend this place!

It took a long while for us to meander back to this location, but today we did, and I'm happy to note I saw quite a few improvements from last time we were here! Most importantly the ribs were soft and delicious! We always get a full rack, and it was great today. The sides were also spot on, I was surprised that I really enjoyed the peanut slaw this time. I seem to remember it not having much sauciness, but today it was great. The only thing I kind of did not like was the potato salad, it tasted like it was something bought pre-made like it was not homemade by the restaurant. Like those tubs of potato salad from Costco. I'd never get that again. But the cornbread muffin was great as were the pinto beans. Glad to see improvement so I'm bumping them up 1 star!

This place has a special place in my heart as this was our spot to go after little league or soccer practices and games with the kids' teammates and their families. So many great memories here for our me and my family. It's been awhile since we last dined here but since our daughter is going off to college in a few days, my husband and I were feeling a bit sentimental and suggested it to her and our son. There were no objections. The restaurant is not large, always clean and tidy and the service is fast. We waited less than 15 minutes for our food. The boys in the family always appreciate the TVs with sports on. My husband and I split the Carolina Chopped BBQ Pork Salad and our son ordered the AW Ranch Salad. We added 2 sides of fries and our daughter got her go to Swiss and Mushroom burger with fries. This salad is one of my favorites because of the honey mustard dressing, large amount of flavorful pork and thrice fresh veggies. The salty and crispy fries compliment the salad perfectly. My daughter gave a double thumbs up to her burger and my son also loved his salad. I can't speak on most of the other dishes, because before they changed the menu several years ago, our go to dishes were the nachos and the fish tacos were the bomb (don't judge me for ordering fish tacos at a BBQ place but they were that good). And since then, we almost always order the Carolina Salad. This place just feels and tastes like home away from home for our family so it gets 4 stars in my book!

I appreciate this place so much! We've ordered from here multiple times and everything is just perfect. I love the ribs, cornbread, brisket and pulled pork. In a day and age where everyone is trying to be the newest and best, this place holds true to tradition. Come on they've been around for 40 years. Enjoy the food.

Deliciously Wonderful! We had them cater my moms 96th birthday party at our house. We ordered for 35 people and received enough good to feed 60! We had the Tri-tip, baby back ribs and chicken. Our sides were the peanut slaw, corn bread muffins and White cheddar Macaroni & Cheese The food was sooo delicious! This was the second time we have had Armadillo Willys cater my moms birthday party. The first time was when she turned 90. We were extremely happy with the quality of food and the delivery service was wonderful too! I have to tell you to try the white cheddar Mac and cheese. I'm not normally a Mac and cheese fan, but after eating the creamy richness of this cheddar cheese sauce, I am now a big fan of Mac and cheese. It's super delicious!! Great place to have cater any party you may think of having! Hope to use them again for mom's 100th birthday party!
