Empire Armadillo BBQ Set to Open New Location in San Jose
"A new barbecue spot arrives in San Jose in a few days, carrying forward a local tradition with Empire Armadillo BBQ & Deli. The restaurant takes over the former Armadillo Willy's space at 878 Blossom Hill Road, with a planned opening on November 20. This marks the second outpost for the concept, following a successful launch in Sunnyvale just over two months ago."
"The new venue covers nearly 3,000 square feet and seats 60 indoors, plus a 10-table outdoor patio. Its position next to Westfield Oakridge, one of Silicon Valley's major retail hubs, promises steady foot traffic. Visibility from busy Santa Teresa Boulevard adds to the appeal, making it easier for locals and visitors to spot and stop by. Diners can look forward to favorites like the brisket sandwich or plate, which have proven popular at the Sunnyvale site."
Empire Armadillo BBQ & Deli will open a second location in San Jose on November 20 at 878 Blossom Hill Road, occupying the former Armadillo Willy's space. The nearly 3,000-square-foot venue seats 60 indoors and offers a 10-table outdoor patio. The site sits adjacent to Westfield Oakridge and is visible from Santa Teresa Boulevard, promising strong foot traffic and street visibility. Menu highlights include brisket sandwiches and plates, a refined pastrami sandwich, seasonal pumpkin cheesecake, New York-style cheesecake, and house-made banana pudding. The team is pursuing a beer and wine license for both locations. The expansion creates 14 to 17 jobs with wages above minimum and tipped roles for cooks.
