Reviews for Andy Nelson's Barbecue Restaurant & Catering in Cockeysville, MD

Hidden gem. I visited here on a whim and found some of my favorite BBQ in the state. The atmosphere is one of the best parts. I... love the outdoor seating section. Pulled pork sandwich was great. I ordered one lbs of beef brisket for myself and it wasphenomenal. Highly recommend. Read more

Took the wife to dinner and everything was great! My brisket was moist. Her smoked quarter chicken was juicy. Both were... extremely flavorful. All the sides tasted great too. Make sure you get the Peach Tea too. Read more

My Fiancée, my son and myself went one Saturday, we didn't eat in and that is why I gave it 4 stars. We ordered to go, while... we waited we looked around, and used the bathroom. The workers was very friendly and professional. The restaurant has nicephotos and it was very clean. The bathroom was clean, everyone seemed nice. When we all was leaving the cashier asked can hegive my son a lollipop and my son loved that. We ate once we settled for dinner, and o my the food was so fresh and verydelicious. We will be going back. Read more

I love their food &will continue to support their business & have recommended to all my family & friends!!! Mary Ann Flagle Read more

The BBQ was great, the service was friendly, but the sides could have been better. We had the "Guy's Trifecta", which was a... Half Slab + 2 BBQ meats + 2 sides. The ribs were for me, and 2 BBQ for my wife (she chose Turkey "Q" and Pit Beef). I washappy with the Ribs, and my wife was happy with her meats, although they were a pretty small portion, and she would have likedthe Turkey sliced instead of pulled. I also got a 10 piece wings, which were very nice, except I had asked for Bleu CheeseDressing (as it shows on our receipt), but got Creamy Ranch instead. We chose Collard Greens and Tater Wedges for our sides. The Collard Greens (which came w/ 2 big pieces of boiled potato -- why???) could have been cooked longer and could have beenbetter with some pork bits... this was one of the least favorite I've ever had. The Tater Wedges were very burnt, and *almost*inedible... I would have thrown these out before serving them to anyone. My wife also got a Mac & Cheese (5oz) side, and shewas happy with it. Read more

This review is based off of my first experience here and before we start I will be going back to give it another try. With that... being said.... the atmosphere is superb. The ordering experience is standard for a BBQ joint, helpful and knowledgeable staff.The prices were in-line with most BBQ places. Most importantly they offer sweet tea (fresh brewed) just like you should if yourserving BBQ. The food.... ordered the brisket tips "samwich" with baked beans and mac-n-cheese. The brisket tips were dry andchewy which was extremely surprising as I had heard fantastic things about this place and drove almost 2 hours to get there. Thebaked beans were savory style, tangy, with a mild heat, very tasty. The mac-n-cheese, while presentation wise was great, thecheese was grainy and not very appealing or flavorful. In my future visit hopefully I don't catch them on an off day. Read more

The trifecta was enough to feed two people. Seating in the garage was very pleasant. BBQ ribs were very tender. Next time I... will get them "dry" because the barbecue sauce that they came with was too spicy for me. The barbecue beans were also too spicyfor me. BBQ beef was not worth getting again. The pulled pork was good as was the coleslaw and the cornbread. Cornbread aloneis worth coming back for. Read more

So good! Amazing ribs, excellent brisket and pulled pork. The sauces were delicious- especially the ?pig water?! The Mac n... cheese was fantastic and the cornbread too. What a nice surprise to find this spot on our way to Dutch country. Definitely worththe stop! Read more
