Breaking: Armadillo Willy’s BBQ abruptly closes all but 1 restaurant location

If you’re a fan of Armadillo Willy’s Texas-inspired smoked meats, sauces made inhouse and spicy peanut coleslaw, you’ll have to get your fix in San Mateo from now on.

The Bay Area chain founded 42 years ago abruptly closed its three other restaurants at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

“Sadly, we closed our Santa Clara, Blossom Hill and Sunnyvale locations last night,” the company’s Matt Granville confirmed in an email Wednesday morning.

The Dublin location shut down April 19 and the Los Altos location earlier this year.
