"As a Texas native, I know good barbecue, and this place nails it every time. My family and I come here weekly, and it’s like a little taste of home. The brisket is perfectly smoked, the ribs fall off the bone, and the sides are just as good as what you'd find in Texas. The best part? It’s affordable, too. We spend about the same amount here as we would back home. My kids love it, and it's become a regular spot for us. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Texas BBQ!"
Had a fantastic lunch at Armadillo Texas BBQ! The brisket was a highlight—tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes and peanut coleslaw were awesome, and the pork ribs were okay. The nice atmosphere and lots of seats added to the overall positive experience.
The food is as great as the staff. We were doted after and our grandson loves the brisket. The manager made sure my wife got the meat extra lean. He did just that. We will be back.
Came with friends and family on a weekend. Wasn't too busy. Staff was amicable and service was quick. Nothing too special about this good but overall consistent with great taste and vast menu selection. Meat was tender and fries were cooked in good, clean oil.
Being from Texas, I’m pretty picky about my barbecue, but this place never disappoints. We come here almost every week, and it’s always a hit with the whole family. The flavors are spot on—brisket that’s smoky and tender, ribs that melt in your mouth, and sides that are as good as any you'd find back home. Plus, the prices are super reasonable. We end up spending about what we would at a BBQ joint in Texas. My kids are big fans, too, which is always a win. This spot has quickly become our go-to for a true taste of Texas!
I had not been here in years but recently was nearby at lunchtime. I enjoyed the small brisket plate -- they offered a choice of "juicy" (i.e. fatty) or lean meat (or 50/50). I've had too much dry brisket elsewhere so went with the juicy and it was excellent. I'd do 50/50 next time. I picked the tater tots for my side; they were nice and crispy without being burned or dry. They have a well-selected choice of draft beer.
Service was fine, staff was pleasant and helpful. But it's basic: you're just ordering at the register and picking up your food at the window.
Atmosphere is ok, hasn't changed in 20 years that I can see. Good enough.
Very cozy place, very well decorated. The food is fantastic, and it has great taste ???? very well recommended. The atmosphere is great. The warm welcome and service top notch. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed ????
Ordered at cheese burger with fries and a brisket platter to go. The price was a surprising $50. When I got home the brisket was like eating my father’s 50 year old shoe. I don’t mind paying the money, but the quality needs to be there. Horrible! Will never go back.
