Getting everyone around the table for dinner is great. Figuring out what to feed them isn’t always as much fun. Between work, school, sports, errands, and busy Bay Area schedules, there are plenty of nights when cooking a full meal just isn’t practical. That’s when a family BBQ meal to go from Armadillo Willy’s can make dinner a whole lot easier.
With slow-smoked meats, hearty sides, and plenty of choices for different appetites, barbecue is practically made for sharing. Whether you’re feeding a family of four, hungry teenagers, visiting relatives, or a few extra friends, Armadillo Willy’s makes it easy to bring home a satisfying meal without spending the evening shopping, cooking, and cleaning.
A Family Dinner Everyone Can Dig Into
One of the challenges of ordering dinner for a family is finding something everyone actually wants to eat. Barbecue gives you plenty of options. Instead of choosing one entrée for the entire table, you can mix and match smoked meats and sides to create a meal with something for everyone.
Start with favorites like smoked brisket, tender ribs, pulled pork, tri-tip, or chicken. Add classic BBQ sides such as creamy mac and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, cornbread, or garlic fries, and you’ve got a complete dinner ready to serve as soon as you get home.
Put everything in the middle of the table and let everyone build their own plate. It’s an easy, casual way to turn takeout into a family-style dinner.
Real BBQ Without Spending Hours at the Grill
Making authentic barbecue at home isn’t exactly a quick weeknight project. Great smoked meats require preparation, patience, and plenty of time over the smoker. At Armadillo Willy’s, we’ve already taken care of the slow part for you.
Our barbecue is prepared using traditional smoking techniques that develop the deep, savory flavor and tenderness BBQ lovers expect. You get the satisfaction of a real barbecue dinner without tending a smoker all afternoon or cleaning up the backyard grill afterward.
That’s especially convenient for busy families throughout the Peninsula who want something more substantial than typical fast food but don’t necessarily have time for a sit-down restaurant meal.
Perfect for Busy Peninsula Weeknights
Between commuting on Highway 101, picking up kids from school, getting to practices and activities, and everything else packed into the average weekday, dinner can easily become an afterthought.
Ordering Armadillo Willy’s ahead of time gives you an easy solution. Pick up your BBQ on the way home and dinner is handled. There’s no grocery store stop, no meal preparation, and no stack of pots and pans waiting in the kitchen afterward.
For families in San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, Burlingame, Redwood City, Millbrae, South San Francisco, Menlo Park, and surrounding Peninsula communities, it’s an easy way to put a hearty dinner on the table even when the schedule doesn’t leave much time for cooking.
More Than Just a Weeknight Dinner
Family BBQ meals to go are useful for more than busy Monday-through-Thursday evenings. They’re also perfect for those times when a few extra people unexpectedly end up around the dinner table.
Maybe the kids have friends over, relatives are visiting for the weekend, or you’re getting together with neighbors to watch a game. Instead of trying to figure out how to stretch dinner for a bigger group, pick up a selection of smoked meats and sides and let everyone help themselves.
BBQ also makes an easy meal for movie nights, game nights, backyard gatherings, and weekend get-togethers. Put everything out family-style and you’ve got a casual meal that lets everyone eat what they like without making the host spend the evening in the kitchen.
Bring Home BBQ for Game Day
When the 49ers, Giants, Warriors, Sharks, or your favorite college team is playing, the last thing you want to do is miss the action because you’re cooking dinner.
Barbecue is practically made for game day. Load the table with brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, sides, and sauces and let everyone build their own plate while watching the game. It’s easy to share, satisfying enough for a hungry crowd, and requires very little cleanup afterward.
Whether you’re feeding just the family or inviting a few friends over, ordering Armadillo Willy’s to go lets you concentrate on the game instead of the grill.
Take the Night Off From Cooking
Sometimes you don’t need a special occasion or a packed schedule to justify ordering dinner. Sometimes you simply don’t feel like cooking.
A family meal to go gives you the opportunity to take the evening off while still serving something substantial and satisfying. Bring the food home, put everything on the table, and dinner is ready in minutes.
