Andy Nelson's Southern Pit Barbecue

Andy Nelson's Southern Pit Barbecue Let Andy Nelson’s make your meal one to remember. Our Family has nearly a century old tradition of serving "Serious Barbecue." Andy Sr.
(1415)

Our family has nearly a century old tradition of serving “Serious Barbecue.” Andy’s not famous just for his championship years with the Baltimore Colts; he’s also famous for his hickory smoked BBQ. learned his labor of love from his dad, ‘Guy Nelson’ - Chief Barbecue Man for Limestone County, Alabama. In the 50’s, Andy & Betty were not only attending Memphis State, raising a family, and sighting t

he real Elvis, but they were also developing a BBQ style all their own, integrating the spiciness of Memphis BBQ with the Old Nelson Family tradition. Andy’s not famous for his championship years with the Baltimore Colts; he’s famous for his hickory smoked BBQ. Ask Andy and he’ll tell you that one of the secrets is slow cooking. Our BBQ is smoked many hours over Hickory logs until it falls off the bone, then simmered in our own heirloom sauce. Regularly voted "Baltimore’s Best BBQ" by the staff and readers of Baltimore Magazine and the City Paper, this is one "Q" you won’t want to miss. So let us take you and your guests down the Ol’ Mississippi with great "Q" and maybe a little Elvis background music (streamed from Andy's iPod, of course). We recommend adding some of our Extra Fixin’s to compliment your meal.

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Andy Sr. 🎂🙏

Today we celebrate the man and legend. Andrew ‘Andy’ Vaughan Nelson Sr. built this place with love, hard work and his family by his side. Every rack of ribs and every familiar face that walks through our doors is a testament to what he created.

This is our first birthday without him and while our hearts are heavy, we find comfort knowing the legacy he built with his wife Bettye and their family lives on in every meal we share.

We love you and miss you more than words can say. Save us a seat at the table. 🐖❤️
