| - Nothing stellar, in my opinion, but a solid choice for a hearty and reasonably-priced lunch.
For those who've been here before: Andrew's has undergone a bit of a makeover in the past month or two. They've streamlined their menu, cutting it down to meat by the pound, sides/desserts, and a daily special (more of an aesthetic change, really - whereas before their menu was a chalkboard cluttered with all different permutations of their items, now they keep it simple). This, along with the fact that they now weigh their meat un-sauced, is a definite improvement in my eyes and means more BBQ and less clutter for the customer.
Going along with their hip new vibe, they seem to have added cold-brew coffee to the menu.
Downsides: (1) the minimalist-eclectic decor - a smorgasbord of wall adornments ranging from ASU posters to a "Practice Safe Lunch - Use Condiments" sign - can leave you feeling a little forlorn when the place is empty, and (2) the sides. Like most thin and crispy fries, they're only delicious during the critical five-minute window when they're still piping hot; as for the mac 'n' cheese, maybe I'm missing something, but it tastes to me like Velveeta and canned green chiles. (3) If you're looking for real heat or spice, this place probably isn't gonna do it. Their three sauces, a regular, a hot, and a Carolina mustard, are all good (the mustard's my favorite), but nothing exceptional.
