on Citysearch Jun 02, 2008This place serves a good selection of BBQ items. It is rather tasty but there are places that are better. The food is not the cheapest, but if you go in a large group, you can share more of the combos. The line moves quickly... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 15, 2006I never thought I would find such great BBQ in California. Armadillo Willy's is a great place to grab some BBQ and a great rest while your shopping. It is located in the Bridge Point shopping center near Target. You go in... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006BBQ foods are great. But all the silverwares including cups and plates are kind of dirty. I got this cup which had a bunch of BBQ sauce in it so I exchanged for another one, but that cup got some other dirt in it. Overall,... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 26, 2006I got ruined for barbeque food at Redbones in Cambridge, MA. But just because Willy's doesn't make real barbeque, doesn't mean it isn't tasty. Whereas to me, real barbeque is when you can't see where the meat ends and... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2003This is a very popular restaurant. There is almost always a long wait, which is somewhat odd due to the semi-fast food nature of the restaurant. Prices are also a bit too high. As for the food, it is just okay at best. I... (more)

on Citysearch May 21, 2003As someone who was born in the south and has family currently living there, I can tell you that this is not Texas style BBQ. It's California style with a Texas label. If you want some seriously good southern style BBQ,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2003If you are not looking for atmosphere (and who is looking for atmoshpere in a rib joint) and you don't mind seating and serving yourself, this is a good rib place. Larger selection than some. Good beans. OK cornbread.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 02, 2002We ate at an Armadillo Willy's BBQ down in the Santa Cruz area and was one of the most disappointing barbecue experiences we have ever had. The place couldn't seem to decide if it was a fast food chain or just a restaurant... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 20, 2002After having been dragged to Armadillo Willy's the 2nd and 3rd times, I now refuse to ever eat there again. It is an insult to the term "barbeque". (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2002I too am a true Texan and ate my fair share of Texas BBQ. I believe that the good reviews from others and the top 10 rating for Willy's can be explained more by the lack of BBQ places in the Bay Area than by the quality of... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2002Other than Back 40 Texas Bar-b-que located in Pleasant Hill and San Ramon, Armadillo Willy's comes the closest to being "TEXAS" bbq. It it delicious. I enjoyed the chopped beef sandwhich and on another location the... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 28, 2002The smoker is right up front - you can see where and how they cook their meats. The food is very tasty - the bbq sauce is on the side - so no trying to coverup what's lacking in the meat. They move large crowds of people... (more)
