This is a walk up and order cafeteria style line. I've tried everything and it is all insanely good. So good I honestly can't recommend one dish over another but I will share my go to's. I always get either the pulled pork or brisket sandwich. For sides the corn casserole is my favorite along with the Lemon Poppy Seed Cole slaw. I love all their sauces so I tend to use all three and rotate them on my sandwich/meal. It's open seating but I recommend sitting outside (weather permitting) as the patio is a big ole' open area and you are in full view of the smokers which are a site to behold. The staff are some of the friendliest in the valley and even if the line is long the wait is short as the staff are a well oiled machine. Can't wait until my next visit!! read more

Me and my significant other drive 40 minutes just to eat this amazing bbq. Best BBQ spot in AZ. The vibe is very rustic and has all the working smokers in the outside patio. They have beautiful hanging lights and cute wooden benches. Service is amazing. Everyone working there is happy to be there and even lets you try some of the fresh meat they cooked. The food is to die for. They have juicy baby back ribs and you can choose a variety of sauces to pour into the meats. They also have the best potato salad. 10/10 always making a trip to Mesa for the top quality. read more

Superb service by Ben. The food was great. Ben came by often to check on our party and even brought samples of other menu items we did not order. Will definitely return again read more

Ribs were not bad, but felt like the brisket and burnt ends were only okay. Lots of better Texas BBQ in Texas and think I prefer Little Miss more. read more

This is hands down some of the best bbq you will ever taste. It's worth the trek across the valley. Tucked away off of Warner and Power- you'll want to aim for non peak times because parking is limited. Primary seating is outdoors on picnic tables. Go for the sliders- the amount of meat you get is unreal, then snag the coleslaw, pickles, potato salad and corn casserole you won't be disappointed. There will most definitely be a line but they move quickly and the service is great! read more

Caldwell County BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This place is fire ! Our son has been telling us about it for quite a while now but we live waaay across town. Found ourselves nearby today and wow, it did not disappoint. This is Texas BBQ at its best in AZ! I'm salivating thinking about my lunch. They have smoked brisket, turkey and pulled pork. Ordered a couple of sliders each so we could try two different types of meat. We also got two sides to share. The corn casserole was homey and delicious and the mac & cheese was yummy too. Sampled the coleslaw as well, which I will be getting next time (and more corn ). Most barbecue places don't have the best sides but these guys have made theirs exceptionally delicious! They offered a side of pickles, onions, and jalapeños that we could put on our sandwiches. One of the managers came over and chatted with us at our table as well as one of the employees. They are incredibly friendly and helpful there. On the tables, you will find all three of their sauces. Each one of them is available for purchase, along with other merchandise. We left with a bottle of Arizona Gold (a decadent mustard BBQ sauce). So happy to hear that they will be opening two new locations, one in Scottsdale and one in Peoria in 2026. Hallelujah! I can't wait to go back! read more

This has to be one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at and I'm not super big on BBQ! Food was delicious, the place was very clean, and staff were so kind and helpful!! Andrew literally went above and beyond for us today, if I had a business I would want a dozen of him!! Trent was super cool answering all my husband's questions about the process of BBQing here! We live in hour away and I think I would make the drive for the food and customer service over and over again!! The banana pudding was some of the best I've ever had. I had a pretty big piece of fat, which isn't my thing, but everything was so yummy!!! And best part as a woman and mom the bathroom was so clean Congratulations Caldwell, you guys have outdone yourself, hope to get a location in North Peoria!!! read more

Came by at 11am on a Thursday and it was very busy. Line wasn't too bad as people were quickly given their orders. Heard a lot of positive things about this place and now I can agree! Ordered the family meal for 4. Meats were nicely smoked and tender. Fell in love with their house bbq sauce (bought a couple bottles to bring home!) Overall, great crew, good bbq, and quick service! FYI, parking can be limited so plan accordingly! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Caldwell County BBQ - Family of four pack with two extra sides - Barbeque Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This place went from non busy to a last eatery on earth within minutes during lunch. The management had to redirect the traffic to a one-way flow, order from one door and exit from the other. This kind of traffic can only mean one thing, absolutely great food! Even though it was pricey, it was totally worth it! Definitely try the Turkey, it's AMAZING! Service quick and friendly, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

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! read more

We drove an hour to try their food. And it was worth it. The staff were very nice. The pit masters welcomed us hello and also said bye as we left. It was clean inside and out. Lots of seating. Torrin went out of his way to make sure everything was great, sat and talked to us for a few minutes, made us feel like family. He's a great asset to this establishment, you can tell he truly loves his job. Great atmosphere great food. Definitely gives terry blacks a run for its money. Next time I'm in town I'll be back . The pulled pork is seasoned so well, you don't even need sauce in it. The brisket just falls apart, tries both lean and fatty, both amazing. The turkey is moist with great flavor. read more

Caldwell County BBQ - 1 lb. Pulled Pork, brisket, turkey, sausage, beans, Mac & cheese, potato salad, corn casserole - Barbeque Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This is one of the best BBQ places I have dined at so far. Service was quick and efficient, staff were very friendly, and the area was very inviting. I was told that this place can get quite busy but I didn't wait too long around lunch time on a Saturday. I really enjoyed the brisket sample I received. My husband ordered half a rack of ribs and I ordered a sandwich. For sides we got their lemon poppyseed coleslaw, Mac and cheese, and corn casserole. Everything was very tasty! You can taste the rub and nothing seem overly seasoned or heavy handed with sauces. I have no complaints. Parking is available but can be a bit difficult to maneuver around as there is only one way in/out. There are outside and inside seating areas. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! It's on the right side of American Warehouse Furniture. read more

Came during the weekday for lunch. It was busy but line moves consecutively. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The ambiance is nice. Staff is friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and ribs with sides to try. The food was good, I would not say it's the best I've had but definitely good. They have three different type of sauces. The golden BBQ for me was the best. If you have been curious to try definitely go by and enjoy a good meal. read more

We've been here a few times and the food was great all of those times. The parking lot was small so you might have issues finding a spot. On our most recent visit, we waited in a long line but it was good to help us decide what to order. We were debating on buying meat per pound or a sandwich. We ended up ordering the El General Patton with mac n cheese, the Dixie V with creamy cornbread, an order of sausage, and banana pudding. They prepared the food in front of us so there was really not much waiting. Everybody was really nice! When we were outside finding a seat, one of the girls working here helped us bring the sauces to our table so that was nice. The outside seating was nice with the lights. The El General Patton was delicious and I would recommend it if you're wanting to try three different meats (brisket, pulled pork, and sausage). The order of sausage was delicious and the Dixie V had just brisket which was good too. The hot and spicy sauce was good but I liked their house BBQ sauce the most. The banana pudding was a bit sweet but still good to me. You can go wrong with any meat here and I'll definitely keep coming back. Delicious! read more

I got to say this place is really good and worth the price, when it comes to BBQ I usually like the way I do things better, that was until I tried this place. We got the brisket, pulled pork and the sausage. Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. The brisket was fall apart and juicy withe the right amount of smoke flavor, the pull pork was tender and paired well with the bbq sauce, the sausage was amazing, we really like the Mac and cheese it was creamy and cheesy. The Cole slaw is what really surprised us it was light and refreshing not overly sweet like most places. Great place you get what you pay for, definitely recommend and returning. read more

Caldwell County BBQ - Us in the restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Met a contractor for business lunch, we stepped inside and were immediately greeted and offered samples of their brisket and pulled pork, both meats had a nice smoke ring and were very juicy. I chose the "Dixie V" brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw for lunch and my friend ordered the "General Patton" sandwich. The brisket was very tender and did not have a strong smoke flavor to it. I put their house BBQ sauce on the meat, and it paired well with the brisket. I was pleasantly surprised with the lemon poppy coleslaw, it was crunchy, seasoned well, and dressed perfectly not too wet not to dry, it was pretty good coleslaw which seems hard to find these days. I watched as the line to order food grew longer but the service remained quick and friendly. Next time I go back I want to take on the "General Patton" sandwich it looked fantastic and very hearty! read more
