Andrew's BBQ has unbelievably low prices for such delicious food. For around 10 dollars and less, you can choose from a variety of meats and sides. Their portions are quite filling too, I'd love to come here again when I'm really hungry. I had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich, SO GOOD. The meat was so soft and flavorful and just plain yummy. I didn't think I'd finish the whole thing because it looked really big, but I ate it all, savoring every bite. I had the baked potato side, which was okay. If I ever come here again, I'd definitely get the sweet potato fries and regular fries! So hot and crunchy and soft at the same time. If you get the salad too, they also give you cornbread. I usually don't eat cornbread, but the stuff they have here is pretty amazing. read more

I used to travel halfway across the valley to go to Joe's BBQ in Gilbert; now, I have a new favorite destination for loaded bakers. This place is wonderful - fast service, friendly people, and AMAZING food (to be fair, I have only tried the brisket, loaded baker, pulled pork sandwich, macaroni & cheese and cornbread. I am sure there is much more to taste). We need more go-to family restaurants like this in the neighborhood. Also, their BBQ sauce is delicious. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. read more

i was in an abnormal mood for pulled pork so hit this place up to try and satisfy my annoying craving. Staff was very nice, Cool pictures and two tv's as well. Not a place to really hang out for hours on end or anything. beer selection is very minimal as well. We ordered a lot of food. pulled pork sandwich, a sampler and also the hotlink with mustard appetizer. baled potato salad, mac n cheese cornbread etc. Everything was good. Don't really have any complaints. I have not ventured to many BBQ places in the area so i cant really compare, so for now they get an A-OK until i venture off and have someone to compare them too.. read more

After reading all the raves about the green chili mac & cheese it was a must have - and then immediate regret. The green chilies were chewy and not peeled properly and the cheese in the mac was grainy and gritty. Yuck. Mac & cheese is by definition...cheesy and smooth. Not this. Horrible. The good side was the pulled pork sandwich and the hot BBQ was pretty darn good. All in all when I want good BBQ my choice would be Honey Bears first. But if I'm hard up and just gotta have some BBQ, I would consider Andrew's again. read more

One of the best BBQ places in town for sure. Beef brisket is my favorite, along with best BBQ sauce in the town ( Andrew's Spicy BBQ sauce).

Used Andrew's to cater a corporate BBQ with less than a weeks notice including bringing in the grill. There service was great and the food was all really great. We will be using them in the future read more

After Honey Bear's disappointed one too many times (a shame because I was one of their earliest fans), my wife and I tried Andrew's BBQ. Very good beef brisket and chicken; pork was a little off. Quality sides, even if the cornbread is rather cake-y. read more

If you're in this part of town and you love BBQ, don't miss this place! The sampler platter is tasty and a generous portion...made to share. read more

The ribs and tri tip are great here! The brisket was a bit dry, but flavorful still. Add BBQ sauce to them and you'd be fine.

went here today with Rand H. for the last Tuesday of the month buffet.That is the only time they have it and that is a shame because it was great. They only had a few things but what was there was good. They had coleslaw , mashed potatoes , BBQ ribs , pulled pork , baked beans , hamburger buns to make a sandwich with, They also had a whole roast pig that they were carving up right there at the buffet.As for dessert they had a peach cobbler that was also yumm. drinks are also included in the buffet and i chose to have a mango ice tea which was very good. So another great lunch and a solid 4 stars. read more

Great place to eat, has an amazing tone as you walk in & awesome 80s music at the perfect set of volume.

1 word awesome. I ordered the Q Sampler and got so much food I ate about 3 meals. The portions are good and the taste is excellent. Dana our server was great also; Good attitude, funny personality and overall excellent service. read more

Got the BBQ sampler, the BBQ beans, mashed potatoes and corn bread to split between two people. Everything was really good and a lot of food. Ended up taking about half of it home.Will definitely be back. read more

This is my favorite BBQ place in Phoenix. I've eaten here 5 times now and tried a few different things on the menu and have never left disappointed. My favorite menu item is the BBQ Sampler. You get plenty of food for the price and I can barely finish my dinner, you get that much. Their Smokehouse Beans and Loaded Baked Potato Salad is a perfect compliment to your meal. You get a nice slice of corn bread that is so moist and good you don't need butter or honey to put on it. If you're in the neighborhood you do need to stop in for a bite. My next dinner that looked good was the bacon wrapped hot dogs topped with cole slaw. read more

I support local business as much as possible......but $9.50 for a turkey burger and a shot glass of cole slaw was a bit pricey to me. It was a great tasting burger dont get me wrong, prices are slightly high I think. read more

It's a decent BBQ joint. I ordered what they stated as their best seller, their pulled pork sandwich. It has a normal BBQ taste nothing special, nothing bad. The pork seemed as if it was squished together. traditional pulled pork meat u can see nice strands of pork soaking up the BBQ. I also ordered their hot link appetizer. That's not that great in my opinion. I prefer Rudys a few miles away. But if ur in the area it's worth a try. No frills BBQ. read more

Stopped in after seeing the reviews and being in the mood for ribs. Very friendly staff - walked us through the menu and made suggestions. We had the Rib Platter for 2 - and everything was wonderful. Will be back for sure to try everything else :) read more

Happened to be in the area so I checked it out. great meal to satisfy a BBQ craving. I ordered a sampler and my wife had a beef brisket. the meat was flavored perfectly and a good temperature. they have kids' meals also. great cornbread and coleslaw as sides. they have fountain drinks so you can help yourself to more beverages. each table has 2 house BBQ sauces, both go well with any meat. it was a bit empty but the food came out fast. overall great dining! read more

Nothing stellar, in my opinion, but a solid choice for a hearty and reasonably-priced lunch. For those who've been here before: Andrew's has undergone a bit of a makeover in the past month or two. They've streamlined their menu, cutting it down to meat by the pound, sides/desserts, and a daily special (more of an aesthetic change, really - whereas before their menu was a chalkboard cluttered with all different permutations of their items, now they keep it simple). This, along with the fact that they now weigh their meat un-sauced, is a definite improvement in my eyes and means more BBQ and less clutter for the customer. Going along with their hip new vibe, they seem to have added cold-brew coffee to the menu. Downsides: (1) the minimalist-eclectic decor - a smorgasbord of wall adornments ranging from ASU posters to a "Practice Safe Lunch - Use Condiments" sign - can leave you feeling a little forlorn when the place is empty, and (2) the sides. Like most thin and crispy fries, they're only delicious during the critical five-minute window when they're still piping hot; as for the mac 'n' cheese, maybe I'm missing something, but it tastes to me like Velveeta and canned green chiles. (3) If you're looking for real heat or spice, this place probably isn't gonna do it. Their three sauces, a regular, a hot, and a Carolina mustard, are all good (the mustard's my favorite), but nothing exceptional. read more

Came here for late lunch, early dinner with my gf cause she was craving some pulled pork. Both got the pulled pork sandwich, and I must say it was pleasantly delicious! Good lil hidden BBQ place! The only thing that woulda helped get it the 5th star was the service! It wasn't terrible but after ordering everyone disappeared. We had to get n find our own take home boxes. But other than the staff disappearing it was good and i will be back! also would recommend it to anyone in the mood for some BBQ! read more

I have used Andrew's to deliver BBQ to our gatherings at different community parks in the Tempe area and continue to be pleased. The customer service and ease of ordering is amazing. The amount of food you get per person is a great deal! The delivery drivers are always punctual and polite. The food arrives hot and exactly as ordered. Sure beats slaving over a hot grill in AZ summers and our guests always enjoy it! Would, and do, recommend them to our friends for catering needs. Thanks! read more

Just recently found this place at the now closed Mesa Location... Kind of a rough part of Mesa for sure and there were two bums hanging out near the entrance. Hmmm.... When I walked in I was pleased with the decor of 70's Record Album covers of various artists and the music playing. When I saw the kitchen equipment I got a little worried since it looked a bit unkempt. I found out later that they truck everything in from their Guadalupe store. The food: Pork - Great Beef - Good Chicken - Good Ribs - Sucked. Full of fat, and were tough St. Louis style instead of Baby Backs. Beans - A little heavy on the molasses, but pretty good nonetheless Slaw - Great. Two style of sauce, regular and hot. Meh... read more

I had the pulled pork and macaroni. They were really nice and the food was bomb! Definitely will come back.

Pleasantly surprised. I never knew this place was here and one day we stopped here for lunch. If you happen to catch it when its open they have A-MAZING mack and cheese and the best french fries i have ever had. The small order is HUGE and I dont really need to say anything about the meat because .. I mean.. how often do you go to a bbq place and the sides are better than the meat? Never.... I will be coming back.. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place again. read more

This is a great place for BBQ. Ribs, sandwiches, everything there is delicious. They have several different types of BBQ sauce which is always a bonus. Service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere laid back. The mac and cheese with green chile is one of my favorites. read more

I have checked out many places that say they have the best BBQ and have been disappointed. But this place not only have great food, but great service. The kitchen offers many options and the specials are always great (blue cheese burgers, bacon wrapped hot dogs-which are now on the menu!) They have a spicy bbq sauce that not many places offer or that really isn't as spicy as i would like. The food is abundant for the price, sometimes I can't even finish the sandwich and one side. The green chile mac and cheese is great to pair with any sandwich and you need to bbq it up or you may think the meat is a little dry, but it is not! It is tender, juicy, and could be eaten alone, but the BBQ does the trick! read more

It's pretty good... I really liked the brisket. I am still in search of the perfect BBQ place here in the Phoenix area. The service by the way was killer so I would recommend it. BTW check out the cool light fixtures when you are in there. read more

This little place is in a strip mall on the Northwest corner of Rural and Guadalupe in Southern Tempe. For a good BBQ joint it is very clean and bright inside with plenty of quite nice tables and chairs. You order at the counter, but check out the carving window first and see what looks good. There was a beautiful pork butt right out of the smoker when I came in for lunch. Couldn't pass up a pulled pork sandwich. They sell the Q by the portion so I ordered a 1/2 pound which was plenty and very tasty. There are three house BBQ sauces: Andrew's Standard BBQ, Carolina Mustard, and Andrew's Hot and Spicy. All were very good. They have specials every day and today's was St. Louis style ribs which also looked great. I want to check back on a Tuesday for the Green Chile Pork as I would love to try BBQ with a New Mexico twist. read more

The prices are awesome and the food exceeded my expectation full fold! I'm from near Texas and hard to please with barbecue selection, will be visiting here often. :) read more

Been wanting to try Andrew's for a long time, but finally got around to it last night. Not sure if it was the location, the mixed yelp reviews, but I was definitely skeptical about it. Good BBQ is amazing, but bad BBQ is a supreme letdown. Walking in you immediately smell the smoke, the meat...it smells fantastic. The place was completely empty (which can be a warning sign at some places). The menu was large and a bit overwhelming - it all sounds good, so we knew we'd have a hard time picking one or two things. We had *amazing* service. Dana was fantastic. From the moment she greeted us, we knew we were in good hands. We had just started perusing the menu, and she offered to give us her "spiel" - she warned us she did have one if we were interested. She then gave a very thorough, but quick run through of the highlights of the menu - different options depending on what exactly we wanted. She gave us advice and did NOT steer us wrong. We settled in on the bbq sampler, a half slab of ribs and our sides - green chile mac n cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and spicy cowboy beans. Oh, and cornbread. If it sounds like too much food...it was, and I don't regret it even a little. We were advised that it would reheat well if we had leftovers. For the record, it reheated very well as lunch the next day. The ribs were deliciously smoky, great flavor. They are a little tougher than some places (think they were more St Lous style as opposed to our preferred baby backs, but that's our preference), which wasn't great, but certainly not bad. The flavor compensated well for it. The pulled pork was good, the bbq brisket quite tasty and the pulled bbq chicken was surprisingly good. I'm of the mindset that chicken is the least attractive option at any bbq joint, but this was very good. I can see how each of those would make for a great bbq sandwich (or sliders, which we were told was a good way to try each of them as well). The cornbread was nicely moist, had a great flavor as well. You lose a star for serving Pepsi products in my opinion...but I know others don't mind Pepsi. We're just a Coke family and always will be. Limited selection of beers, but they are decent - the usual domestics (Bud/Miller) as well as a selection of 4Peaks brews - Kiltlifter, 8th St Ale and Hop Knot (HK in a can!) - not to mention $2 PBR. That'll do...that'll do. Supposedly they have cupcakes as well, made by a former employee who still sells to Andrews so Andrews can serve them. We didn't try them, but the flavors sounded really good. We'll definitely be back. It's not the best BBQ in the Phoenix area, but it's certainly respectable and definitely the best I've had in the Tempe area (by far). Don't be scared off by the empty restaraunt. It's worth a try. It's 3.5 star quality, minus the star for Pepsi, add a star for Dana... read more

Tasty BBQ ribs...good sauces...awesome cornbread, moist like cake! I would stay away from the green chili Mac n Cheese as it was overcooked and the cole slaw was rather tasteless. read more

On entering Andrew's BBQ Restaurant in Tempe I was transported back to kindergarten, the happiest time in my childhood: hardwood chairs and tables, red floor, white walls covered with crayon drawings. I expected to see my teacher seated at her upright piano leading us in song. There was no piano, but Jody, event coordinator and restaurant manager, was as cheerful and informative as the teacher of my memories. I should have asked her to sing "I Am A Little Teapot" with me. Maybe next time. A huge blackboard above the counter displayed the menu. The item that popped right out at us was Wisconsin Cheese Curds with Ranch Dressing ($4.95). We also ordered a BBQ Sampler Plate ($12.95) and a house-made cupcake ($2). Our food arrived quickly. Portions were large: the cheese curds could easily have fed four. Our sampler plate consisted of 4 pork ribs, a container each of BBQ chopped chicken, beef brisket and pork. For our two sides we had selected baked potato salad and slaw. There was also a wedge of cornbread. The cheese curds were out of this world, deep fried in a beer batter. Cheese curds are fresh young cheddar cheese in natural form before being processed into blocks and aged. They're mostly found in places that have cheese factories, since they should be eaten soon after being taken out of the vat - but happily they've been showing up in the Valley. They're less chewy than mozzarella, with a lovely mild flavor. It's worth a trip to Andrew's just to have these! The BBQ was excellent too. It's cooked over cherry wood imported from northern Michigan. All the chopped meats were moist and tender, served in their jus rather than slathered with BBQ sauce. Our only quibble was that the same rub seemed to have been used on all three, thus making their taste similar. The ribs were falling off the bone, but just this side of dry. There were two sauces, regular and spicy - not overly sweet or tomatoey. The baked potato salad was a treat, with bits of real bacon and scallions. One of the nicest surprises was that the moist, caky cornbread was served with real butter, and there were packets of honey on the table. We did pig-out on the cheese curds, so we finished only half of our platter. We took the cupcake home with us and had it as a mid-afternoon snack. From the many flavors available, we had chosen a chocolate-cherry. The pink frosting was topped with a maraschino cherry; while sweet it went nicely with the chocolate cupcake which was less sugary. Other items I'd like to try: Loaded Fries ($6.95) - Choice of BBQ Meats, Cheese, Onions & Ranch BBQ Baker ($6.95) - Large baked spud loaded with cowboy beans, choice of BBQ meat, onions, sour cream and cheddar cheese. (Jody says this is HUGE) Green Chili Mac & Cheese (one of the available sides) or $1.75. Andrew's started out as a catering company, then added the restaurants (there's also one in Mesa) about a year and a half ago. They do catering for the Phoenix zoo and also private parties. If you happen to be having 100 people over to your house, for $13.95 per person you can get a whole smoked pineapple pig, injected with teriyaki pineapple juice, slow cooked for fourteen hours and hand carved at the buffet. Too bad our condo is so small.... read more

The food is always amazing and fresh!' The employees are super friendly and remember us every time we go in. I always feel appreciated!! Highly recommend to everyone! Their catering is also awesome! Great food at a great cost! read more

Randomly stopped by this place and was pleasantly surprised. Good ol fashion BBQ. Had pulled pork and coleslaw and the place was really clean. read more

My wife and are are BBQ snobs from Fort Worth. This place reminds us of home! Great food. Chicken and brisket are the bomb! Baked Potato salad is to die for and service is excellent. Stop in and tell Dana she's the greatest, cause she is! read more

My two year old is obsessed with mac and cheese, so this place showed up on a Yelp search. Came in and the service was top-notch. Gave us a sample of the Mac and cheese to make sure my son would like it. Friendly and accommodating. And our meals? AMAZING. read more

My boy and I , love stopping for a bite to eat at Andrews, we stove to make it there on Thursday. Because their special on that day is Ribs , now those are some amazing ribs, the brisket is also the BEST I have ever had ! The staff is amazing Jodi is always on point , the pit master is awesome he has our order ready in like it seems 2 sec. keep it up guys! read more

The taste is fantastic! I've been to Andrew's multiple times, and it's always good. My fav is the pulled pork and the 'green chili' mac-n-cheese. The all-you-can-eat lunch (on Tuesdays, I think) is an excellent chance to try all the meats/sides that you'd like. The BBQ sauce is great, although the Hot BBQ sauce is even better. Super service, and low prices will keep me coming back. read more

Very very good pulled pork sandwich. I pretty much order pulled pork whenever I go to a bbq place. This place blew my socks off! Meat was full of flavor, tender and didn't have big hunks of fat that ruin many other places pork sandwichs. The bun was soft and delicious and don't even get me started on the spicy bbq sauce.... (drooling). This and Waldo's in Mesa are my two favorite places to eat bbq. Lucille's and Famous Dave... meh... read more

The ribs were tender and tasty, the potato salad was a surprising treat- sour cream instead of mayo!- the decor is open and bright, and our server, Dana, was a delight. The location (next to a grocery store, blending into a corner) belies how stand-out the restaurant is. If you're in the area, keep your eyes peeled and give this joint a shot! read more
