Reviews for Armadillo Willy's BBQ in Foster City, CA

Our family decided to eat somewhere in Bridgepoint as we wanted to shop at Target. This place has high reviews among others. The... ribs are decent, but it?s quite fatty and oily to me, though my husband likes it. The soup is very good though, so that?s aplus. We ordered kid meals for our son, wanted a chicken sandwiches, but they ran out of chicken, so we chose pulled pork. Let?ssay my son is picky eater who refuses to eat anything not delicious, and that night he only had fries for dinner, and some buns.We had the pulled pork all to ourselves, and it?s not tasty. The restaurant is well decorated and clean, but I?d love if theycan check the soap in the toilet every now and then. Read more

Still the best place for BBQ on the Peninsula. Brisket servings are getting a little smaller, but I guess that is just a sign of... the times. Read more

Got brisket ($29) and tri tip add on ($5.40). Proportion sizes are good. However, I was very disappointed with quality.... Brisket meat was dry and cold. Not juicy and seemed like cheapest kind of meat you can ever find. The tri tip was tough. Zeromarbling. I would not order again. For $50 dinner I could have gone to a Brazilian steakhouse. Read more

They were out of the tater tots that my kids love. But the tri tip was delicious- its always good there. They were also out of... the mac and cheese- nothing we order but I know so many do. Staff is super nice and always leave happy. Just make sure you haveour favorite sides. Read more

Great BBQ, super-friendly service, expansive menu, and their prices won't break your piggy bank. Lean brisket was just that,... very flavorful and moist - even without sauce. Armadillo Willy's has two sauces - original and spicy. Their original BBQ sauceis well-balanced and not too sweet. Meat on ribs was very tender, corn muffins were yummy (if a bit too crumbly for my taste),but Armadillo Willy's honey butter made up for that. Great chain overall. Read more

All the goodness went down the drain. Visited twice during in 2021, both times were just sad. First was a takeout, my son's kids... meal- pulled pork sandwich was rancid. Took us a while to realized as he was taking far too long to eat it. So we thought hemight not be hungry, and offered to finish it for him instead. To our horror, the pulled pork was rancid, once you get yourmouth up close, the smell just burn your nose!!!! Next was a dine in, as we used to love the place so much(my review 3 yearsago, according to Google was FIVE stars). We order ribs and burgers. Ribs still taste wonderful, but portion is much smaller.Now the problem is the burger, the patty was so THIN that it's almost none existent. We had to literally peel off the bun tomarvel at it. And it's BURNT, thus dry! As we were leaving the restaurant (we tipped the usual) we looked each other in the eyesand I said," I don't think we should come back again." My husband nodded in agreement. And you can tell he was sad, as he lovethis joint. Read more

Brisket is good and you can ask them for either a juicer cut or a leaner one. Price is a little high for a pretty small portion... though. Decent place to stop by for lunch if you?re shopping in the area. Read more

Delicious cajun fries and great burgers and sandwiches. Prices are high and the menu is currently limited, but portions are... filling. Pictured: Willy's Deluxe prime brisket sandwich with lone star chicken add-on - enough for two people. Read more
