I made my first order from Empire Armadillo BBQ through DoorDash today. As a huge fan and loyal customer of Armadillo Willy’s, I was so sad when they closed most of their restaurants.

However, the ribs I received today from Empire were the best I’ve EVER had. They were incredibly delicious and I’m already planning to visit this place frequently.

Thank you for excellence in cuisine at an affordable price! We love the food and the friendly & efficient customer service, in a clean bright environment! We drive from Fremont for pulled pork, ribs, and banana pudding! OMG 😳 I ❤️ Empire Armadillo in Sunnyvale.

Fantastic South Bay BBQ! If you liked Armadillo Willy's, you'll love Empire Armadillo. My go-to is the regular boneless chicken plate with the chicken tortilla soup side, plus the St Louis ribs (pka Texas Ribs). My favorite Bay Area BBQ!
