Originally came in to buy a gift card for a family member’s graduation since he loves this place. I asked if they had any physical gift cards which they do. They pointed me to the very nice and helpful cashier and to my surprise there having a gift card sale where if you buy at this point in time 100$ gift card u get an extra 20$. After getting the gift card the Front end butcher gave me a free sample after.and I knew then I had to get something.Very great explanation had the el general Patton slider and side Mac and cheese with coleslaw. All the meats where tender greatly seasoned Mac and cheese was pretty good not to much of a fan of coleslaw but this was pretty good. Would come again.

I let pictures speak for themselves! Really digging the pulled pork and rack of ribs, super tender and juicy! Prime brisket on the other hand, was a bit dry the night we tried it. The spicy and sweet sauce is da bomb, can’t stop pouring it on top of the meats! Coleslaw is zesty! Great friendly service. Overall highly recommended! My only wish is if they would add some more deep fried side orders like fried okra or fried jalapeños or fried green tomatoes to go with da BBQ… Texas style ☺️

Update: OK team - I went back today. I went at non-traditional BBQ hours 2:15pm. Place was packed. And honestly - rightfully so. My first go-round here was CLEARLY not representative of this BBQ - because today was AWESOME. Order: 1) 1.5lbs of brisket - mouthwateringly good. Like really really good. I’d comp it at LA BBQ in Austin good. 2) 1lb of Pulled Pork. Excellent. Still not Memphis good, but also doing a different thing. The cook was perfection. 3) Rack O’ Ribs. It feels sacrilegious to say these are better than Memphis ribs. But they were. And are. So perfectly rendered. That would surprise me in Texas, let alone Arizona. But yeah. That good. 4) Sides: Beans and Mac. Both were great. Mixed, even better. How do I summarize, because I clearly had an average experience my first time through. Today was skilled BBQ. This wasn’t an accident, it wasn’t a fluke. I’d call my first trial here a fluke. And I’ll be back. And I’ll try the Mexi-Que. and I’ll be back again. I’ll leave my original feedback below, but please please give this a try or ten. I’ll be back. I expect you to as well. Also my pictures are bad. But it is because we just started crushing it before I could snap. Original (READ ABOVE FIRST - OPINION DRASTICALLY CHANGED) The BBQ is “not bad.” I don’t give this a ringing Texas endorsement, but it certainly does the trick if you don’t want to be smoking for 12 hours. Definitely eat in house - would not recommend to-go. Brisket 6/10 a bit dry. Especially the flat. Ribs 7/10 pretty good. Sides 7/10. Across the board i think there is room to improve.

The food is amazing! The meat is so tender and delicious. Their corn casserole is my favorite. And the workers are all so friendly and nice. Caldwell County BBQ is definitely a place worth going to enjoy excellent food!
