Caldwell County BBQ

What an incredible hidden gem this place is! I only say hidden because it's tucked away in an understated spot, anyone who knows anything about BBQ knows about Caldwell.I am not a huge BBQ person. But if anyone offers to get me food, I always ask them to bring me the turkey salad and potato salad because the turkey salad is the most delicious salad ever made. Everything else is also delicious and flavorful.The staff is friendly and their outdoor seating area is so cute. The place is always clean and smells of great smoking meat. I would consider it kid friendly as the outdoor seating is mostly enclosed and there does usually tend to be some kids around.The only downside is that parking is pretty limited onsite, but there is street parking as well as a very short walk across the street to the American warehouse furniture parking lot.If you're not wanting to cook the turkey yourself for a holiday meal, Caldwell can do it for you, you'll need to order ahead!

Overall rating: 4/5Wait: 4/5Arrival time: Sunday 11:30amFood: 4/5Order: brisket, coleslaw, corn casserole, banana puddingService: n/aPrice: 4/5Worth it, would come backCaldwell County BBQ is a gem worth visiting if you're in the area. The sides were delightful, with the brisket standing toe-to-toe with Lil Miss BBQ. It's a great spot to hang out, especially during better weather. The coleslaw and corn casserole were particularly good, and the banana pudding was a sweet finish. Overall, it's a solid choice for BBQ lovers looking for a place to relax and enjoy some quality food.

Food was excellent, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Smoked Turkey, Cole Slaw, Mac n Chz, Jalapeño Cheese Sausage. Service friendly but quick. Gentleman who was working tables was super friendly and brought our service dog a bowl of water. Sides need a little more seasoning. Family style eating with picnic table and tables. Outside seating had fans and misters. Pit masters doing an excellent job. Sauces - Mustard, House, Spicy & Sweet, I recommend the spicy.

Seen them on Instagram and finally got to try them today!Very limited parking but when we came it was barely packed at 12 (an hour after they opened) but lot got full quick shortly after we arrived.Super friendly and welcoming at the Gilbert location, yet have to try the Queen Creek location which is bigger with fun events onsite, where this location is small but simply well worth the visit!I loved the whole outdoor layout vibe, very cute and well kept, they even have misters! There is indoor dining area as well.We got their "Family Meal of 4" with choice of turkey, brisket and pulled pork and sides of macaroni and cheese and corn casserole. We all devoured it! We ordered 2 BBQ Salads to go home with to eat later for dinner, it was delicious!

Did a little search of the area after a long hike and this place popped up. It had good reviews and they were not wrong.When we arrived, there was quite a line. Apparently the front door is basically useless because the line wraps around back. I will say the workers were incredibly fast and even though the line looked daunting, it was only about 15 to 20 minutes of a wait. I got a barbecue sandwich and a side. The barbecue was incredible. Tender pulled pork and amazing sauce options. The potato salad was good in a neutral kind of way. Nothing unique about it, but the benefit of that is that it is a certain crowd pleaser. Everything tasted really good quality. I like that they don't use frozen meat and seem a little more local oriented. There were a few vegetarian/vegan options, which I always appreciate, especially at a barbecue place. They also were creative in terms of how you ordered - you could get a plate or combine a few things. They also had some homemade desserts that looked delicious. They have a very nice story about how they came about and the passion behind the business. I appreciate the combination of Arizona and Texas and how intentional they were. Even the beers were from either Texas or Arizona and it felt nice to support local. Of course they had some basic ones as well but the diverse options they offered that were fit what we were looking for. The price is not cheap, but the food is certainly worth every penny. The outdoor seating is an absolute delight. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, and the place was super clean. They could probably use a few more bathrooms, but nobody was really left waiting too long. They run a tight ship but do a great job making you feel welcome and not rushed

Worth the 45 minute drive from Phoenix! We were in Phoenix/Scottsdale vacationing for a week. Today my wife told me no breakfast till 1100 hours. She told me to drive and I did straight hostage style!Luckily for me around 1056 hours, we pulled up to Caldwell County BBQ. What a beautiful surprise! Doors were just about to open and I could smell the amazing BBQ smoke in the air.The grounds of the Caldwell County BBQ house are very beautiful with plenty of seating. Staff was extremely kind allowing us first timers to even sample their amazing brisket.We ordered up half pound brisket, half pound turkey,half pound of pulled pork, two jalapeño cheddar sausages, and one amazing banana pudding.Its been said many times before me here, however from a guy who has had many many BBQs including Rodney Scott's BBQ in Charleston, South Carolina, Pit Room BBQ, in Houston,Texas, and now Caldwell County BBQ. Caldwell County BBQ is some of the best tasting BBQ you will find in America!!!After packing up my to go box I was admiring the smokers out back. A young pit master wearing a Melin hat asked my wife if we wanted to see a smoker full of briskets? Yes Absolutely! We got a quick glance at the cook craft real time.Thanks guys, we will be back!

After looking into Yelp, I had to check this place out when I was visiting! Be ready to wait in a long line if you show up during prime meal hours. Line wrapped around the inside of the building and went outside all the way to the parking lot! That's how you know it's gonna be good. Luckily, we beat the crowd. Indoor and outdoor seating. Casual atmosphere. Place your order at the register and they bring it out to you when it's ready. Fast and friendly service.We split the family of four pack and got a couple extra sides. Everything was amazing! Meat was extremely tender and delicious. Three kinds of bbq sauce at each table to drown your food in. Plenty of food for four, so they don't rip you off on quantity. Must try!

Delicious food and amazing service. Started off with a taste of brisket that is melt in your mouth perfection. Ordered the El General Patton. The sandwich was delicious. I'm not a fan of their coleslaw with the lemony flavor. Also got a half rack of ribs that are fall off the bone and very flavorful.

Outstanding BBQ!When we first walked up we saw them grilling on the BBQ and it smelt amazing!!! Everyone inside was very nice, quick, efficient and overall great customer service. We sat on the patio in the back. It has a lot of shade from the umbrellas with big picnic tables. It was fun to sit outside, rocking out to country music and smelling the grill. It felt as if I was hanging out with friends in a backyard. 10/10 recommend the overall experience!! *oh and the bbq sauce they make in house, still drooling*
