Outstanding customer service & chefs kiss BBQ! We have the Brisket (100% fully perfection), the tasty ribs and topped off with the cheddar sausage. I loved the meat was cooked just right and it tasted amazing by itself- does not need sauce. However will say with being the first time there did try the sauces on the side to check them out. Hot & Sweet was good but top 2 favorites was the Gold (yummy) and the house sauce was on point with the exact right amount of flavor melding - bomb! A new top favorite place for BBQ for sure - will be back and beinging friends!
Loved seeing the place constantly flowing with customers- you know it's good when people still coming in last minute to get there cravings on!
Pictures taken after dug in - apologizes- it was just that good forgot bout pictures first!

This was really good BBQ! I got 1/2 lb of brisket, baked beans, corn casserole, & a drink. Total was $27. I liked how they were smoking meat all day long. So it seemed like you could get any meat at any time of day, which is nice. Not like most places where you have to eat brisket for breakfast or you’re screwed lol. The meat was sooooo tender, you could literally eat it with a spoon! Just perfection, no sauce needed but if you like BBQ sauce, they have 3 at each table to choose from. My favorite was the sweet & spicy one. I drove from Mesa & would definitely make the drive again!! The outside patio was really nice to sit at also! Parking was slim, but I parked across the street & had no problem walking there. Came at 1pm & was seated with food by 1:10 :)

Keepin it real out here in AZ!
This location added to the wonderful experience we had on our AZ trip. Couldn't have asked for a better BBQ experience both for the food and the vibe of the place. The smokers were impressive in the outdoor area. The staff were super attentive even after the ordering process (for a self sit down type of spot). We did let the food get cold cause we took our time taking pictures and video but they still tasted fire. If given a chance to go back to the area will def try it out again!

Caldwell County BBQ is a true barbecue gem. The rustic ambiance and inviting decor create a relaxed atmosphere. The smoky, slow-cooked meats are phenomenal, with tender brisket and mouthwatering ribs stealing the show. Classic sides like mac and cheese and coleslaw perfectly complement the barbecue. The friendly and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience. Whether you're a barbecue enthusiast or seeking a laid-back dining spot, Caldwell County BBQ is a must-visit for authentic, flavorful barbecue in a welcoming setting.

From the moment I stepped out of my car I could smell the smokers that made our brisket covered with swooshes of fat cap. The massive yet tender spare ribs that shimmered and offered a touch of natural sweetness. The mesquite smoked sausage mixed with jalapeño and creamy cheddar cheese was juicy. The Corn Casserole made with cornbread, sour cream, and hatch green chilies was a crowd favourite. I must say that I loved the pickles, and sweet red peppers in the creamy Caldwell Potato Salad. I can’t speak highly enough about the great service and nice people working here. Loved having lunch on the patio and the entire experience.

Excellent! The meats are topnotch. Also got to look at the smokers where they were trying out some wings and jerky. Maybe future menu items? Excellent place for families as they have several family menu meals. We now have a new favorite place to go and eat.

We got there as soon as they opened and parking was very limited. Beautiful atmosphere and sesting area with catering area and options. Indoor and outdoor options. Smoked meat was delicious, sides were bit limited on options.this place is more if a buffet line style vs sit to order. Service was great and friendly. Overall, would recommend ans we will be making a future visit

12/2023 - We came back tonight and gave Caldwell Co. another try and the experience was wholly different (5 stars). We had the family meal for 4. The brisket was outstanding, the turkey excellent and the pulled pork much improved. The owner suggested a preparation step may have been missed on our first visit. We also enjoyed the lemon-poppyseed slaw and the macaroni and cheese. I can recommend everything we ate this evening. All the smokers were working tonight and it was a perfect chilly evening. Customer service was 5 stars. Everyone friendly, manager(?), stooped and visited our table. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant is very appropriate and stylish. It's not an overly large space and parking is an issue. We'll have to visit again in the future and see which previous visit wasn't typical.
10/2023 - We had the pulled pork & potato salad. The pork was cooked well but was very bland. Tried all 3 sauce offerings. The house sauce was sweet & tangy, the hot version wasn't much hotter but had some more black pepper flavor. The 3rd sauce seemed more acidic and mustard based but was likely a better pairing with their turkey which we didn't try. Having eaten a fair amount of TX style BBQ, this wouldn't be my first choice from nearby offerings.
I thought the potato salad was good 👍.
We also had a chocolate chip cookie which was pretty average but fresh.

I’ll preface my review with, I am from Kansas City.
The food was really good. The flavor of the meat was a tad smokey for me but consistent and juicy. Perfectly done!
The beans were great with a southwest twang.
Mac and cheese was also really good.
Their sauces were really good!
