Go Wild for Lunch at Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que

December 23, 2015 by

Texas is known for its barbecue, and you can’t visit the Pasadena area without visiting Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que. This local favorite stands out among the other barbecue eateries in the area because of its slow-smoked take on classic barbecued meats and its creative, new offerings that make each visit fun and exciting.

The standout item at Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que is the so-called “armadillo egg,” a plump sausage wrapped in bacon and stuffed with jalapeno cream cheese, creating a flavor explosion that you almost won’t believe. Follow it up with a platter of sliced brisket, barbecued ribs, turnip greens, and baked beans served in a casual Styrofoam container, or grab a barbecue sandwich if you’re looking for something handheld to eat on the go.

With a homey, farm-style decor and welcoming ambiance, you’ll want to come back to Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que again and again.

No-Name Bar-B-Q Inc.: Remember the Name

November 27, 2015 by

While its name may imply that it’s nothing special, barbecue lovers in Pasadena would argue that No-Name Bar-B-Q Inc. is one of the best spots in town for authentic, slow-cooked barbecue fare. This locals-only eatery is a bit of a hidden gem, but once you track it down you’ll be lured in by the smell of beef brisket, smoked turkey, sweet country ham, and barbecued ribs cooking inside. Southern sides, like tangy cole slaw, baked potatoes, and barbecued beans, go along with every meal, and you can order anything on the menu for either dine-in or carry-out.

The dining room at No-Name Bar-B-Q Inc. is sparse but clean, with long tables large enough for the whole family and a spacious wooden bar that’s perfect for a solo lunch. Tack on low prices and friendly service, and it’s easy to see why this is such a popular spot.
