Andy Nelson's Southern Pit Barbecue

Andy's BBQ sells a wide range of things outside your typical American BBQ, including bubble tea and lassis! I tried their pineapple lassi and it was so good! Def wanna check out their wings and burgers sometime!

Very shady!! Charged my card two weeks after I ate there. I don't even live near here! Called them and mgr said he can't do anything about it!!!!Horrible service!!!!'

Wow...it's been a while since we've been back. My wife and I stopped in Monday noontime to return a couple of large catering boxes from a birthday party our son hosted on Saturday and to pocket a $5.00 coupon for returning the boxes. The natural thing to do, of course, was to also get lunch and use the coupon. We did carry out. I went with one of my favorites, burnt tips and my wife, pulled pork. Both were sandwiches, but I just took the big chunks of beef and pulled them apart and ate them with the juice that came in the container. All pretty good, maybe a touch too much fat with them both...but good. Nothing else to add to my previous reviews, except to say there is no table service.

I've been to Andy Nelson's perhaps a dozen times over the last decade or so, but not since the pandemic before yesterday. My 2014 visit remains accurate. "... Walking into Andy Nelson's is like stepping onto the set of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The host and crew of the show would leave happy and sated. The nouveau-riche, intellectually self-impressed and well-dressed may feel a tad out of place by the exceedingly casual decor and aesthetic. The place is not for them, for it lacks tablecloths and other trappings of fine dining. If you like to wipe your greasy and sauce-covered hands on your own sweatshirt and jeans, however, Andy's is for you...."I would not change one word of my description of the ambience. As for the food itself, usually I order "Sammies" (i.e., sandwiches) and often the "express", which adds two sides and a drink. In 2014, I wrote that "... The down-home southern cooking is nothing short of delectable, the menu represents both diversity and value, and service is excels in its prompt perfection...." On this most recent visit, my wife ordered the brisket tips, which seemed tasty but tougher than expected. My pit beef sandwich was perfection as always. I ordered the baked beans and collard greens. Don't turn your nose up at the collards - Andy makes them yummily caloric. Sandwich fixin's are minimal: horseradish, raw onions and an assortment of sauces. You can have any kind of bread you want, as long as its hamburger rolls. Be prepared to carry your own platter back to your picnic table, and to bus your own dishes. Certainly an experience not to be missed, but I'm withholding a star because in 2024 I want more, fresher and sturdier, bread choices, more fixin's, and more tender brisket tips. I call 'em as I see 'em.

Yum! The Dry Rub Ribs are to die for! I'm a "slather it in all the sauce" kind of person and didn't need to do that because they were so flavorful. I mean, I still tried all the sauces, but honestly these ribs were just perfect as they were. The coleslaw and cornbread were really good too! The only thing I wouldn't order again were the beans - too much green pepper kind of killed them for me. Just not a fan of that flavor profile. It's a bare bones kind of place but I liked all the football memorabilia. Fun to read! The server behind the counter was kind of mean, but the guy working the tables was super nice, so I guess the service averages out to...average. I'd totally go back for more ribs, cornbread, and slaw! And next time I'll try the Mac and cheese and a dessert.

Been awhile, eh Andy?I was supposed to meet a buddy for some music but have, to this point, been ghosted. Well, live music put on hold due to rain. So, I ventured inside to order and eat. There two Nelson's team members taking orders in the counter area. Kinda hot in there. Karen S took my order. She's very pleasant, poised and professional. I had meat on my more specifically, pit beef. I ordered the jumbo pit beef Sammie and decided to go EXPRESS and got two sides (incomparable Mac n cheese and baked beans) and a fountain drink for just six bucks more. What a score! I ate in the dining room. Pleasant and older decor. The food? Forget about it. It's great. I killed the sides first and then tackled the sammie. Yum yum yum. Plenty for my tum. And. The food ran just south of $17. I presented a 20 and left the rest as a tip to a deserving crew. I promise to visit more often, hopefully with company.

As always, delicious food from Andy Nelson's. Popped in on a weekend day and got to enjoy the outside tables while devouring a beef Sammy with potato salad and mac and cheese. Being from the Southwest, I'm very picky about BBQ. Especially BBQ in the Baltimore region. Or lack thereof. AN's is always consistent quality meats and sides.

I've been going there for years and had them cater numerous parties. Their pulled pork and potato salad is second to none. Anytime I'm in Hunt Valley, I'll stop in.

Awful service and non-traditional BBQ. The woman server could not have been ruder and she gave me the wrong take out order. I didn't discover it until I was home. Plus, the meat was full of bones. The potatoes/fries tasted awful. There were a lot of customers so some people must really appreciate this place but I certainly wasn't one of them. Yuck! Never again.

This is a true down home southern style barbecue joint very good food. Good service good people the hospitality is outstanding. Been going there for many years never been disappointed real barbecue with real pit masters and open flame barbecue not some baked in the oven barbecue if you want real barbecue go to Andy Nelson's You have my approval
