Andy Nelson’s Southern Pit Barbecue Menu (Update 2026)
Andy Nelson’s Southern Pit Barbecue has been a Maryland staple for decades, founded by former Baltimore Colts player Andy Nelson, who swapped his football helmet for a smoker back in 1988. What started as a humble roadside spot in Cockeysville quickly grew into a barbecue institution, beloved for its authentic Southern recipes and warm, family-style hospitality. In the course of time, the menu has expanded from classic pulled pork and ribs to include hearty platters, homemade sides, and seasonal specials that keep regulars coming back.
What many don’t know is that Andy Nelson’s also has a quiet “secret menu,” where loyal fans can uncover hidden gems and off-menu creations that showcase the pitmaster’s creativity. Yet, through all the changes, one thing has remained constant—the legendary pulled pork sandwich, smoky and tender, still holding its place as the signature dish that first put Andy Nelson’s on the map.
