    Ok so for someone who isn't a huge fan of bbq this place was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and their sauce options were delicious. The sides were also very good. Very clean and super friendly staff. Lots of parking so definitely worth coming in

    Great BBQ spot. We've been here twice now; first time with my family and second time with my in laws. The place is clean and the vibe is great! The service is quick with welcoming staff. The place is spacious with a lot of seating. We ordered the Family for 8 on our first visit and then ordered the Family for 4 our second visit. The food is tasty and delicious! Love love the chili and how tender the meats are. Will definitely be back again!

    2nd visit and I was able to confirm the Mac & cheese is supposed to look like this

    Quality of service is absolutely unmatched. My first visit was really memorable due to the service received by the staff cutting the meats. They took the time to provide samples and share more detail about the cuts and process. The 2nd visit I was fortunate to chat with the manager and learn more about the Mac & cheese. You can tell that service & hospitality is a priority for management/owners. My only concern is the amount of flies inside the restaurant while eating. It can be challenging to keep them away while enjoying everything. 10/10 will definitely be back!

    My husband saw a review by a YouTube content creator. I was at a conference and came home to take out he picked up. I had a little of everything on my plate. Not pictured is Burnt Ends. I had a piece and it was meaty and very tender. The St. Louis Pork Ribs were bought for me but hubby had a taste. A half rack was 2 meals. Aunt Susan's Corn Casserole was tasty. The Texas Red Chili is deliciously seasoned. The macaroni and cheese is excellent. Oh my goodness. I would drive there for that alone. The ribs were tender and tasty. I didn't need any sauce. I am particular with my coleslaw so when I saw it I was skeptical. It had a different taste. It was actually good. When I saw the receipt it's Lemon Poppyseed Coleslaw. I was pleasantly surprised. I understand customer service was great! The food warrants a dine in experience.

    Another solid visit! The food is delicious but what really gyrates my giggles is the service. The staff checks in and is so attentive to your needs. There are not any servers but the staff walks the floor and will take trays, bring sauces, offer friendly chats, and ensure your experience is 100% we got the Family of Four and they made sure that the portions were nice and full. Added two Modelos and we were in hog heaven!!! See you soon Caldwell, see you SOON!

    We've visited their Gilbert location several times but this Peoria location is much closer! Great outdoor seating area that's covered and the inside is open and clean. Picking up an online order today for Father's Day was simple and easy. There was a line out the door but they had a dedicated space at the counter for online orders. The family of 4 dinner is the perfect amount of food. Brisket and tri-tip are our favorites. Extremely flavorful and juicy. The sauces are delicious as well but honestly, you can eat the meat plain and have a ton of flavor. One thing I'd like to point out is that the service is extremely good. The lady who helped us with our online order went through the entire bag to ensure everything we ordered was present. She also gave us the complimentary sausage for Father's Day, which I thought was only for in-person dining. Much appreciated! There's nothing worse than getting home and finding out something is missing or incorrect. Our takeout here was perfect and they did not skimp out on portions like some restaurants do with takeout. All in all, my favorite bbq location in Arizona that I've personally visited! Looking forward to their North Phoenix location to open!

    The food was delicious. Definitely recommend the prime brisket! We were passing through as a pit stop on a road trip and I'm so glad we did. The service was amazing. They explained the menu very thoroughly and even provided samples of their sides and meat, which is unheard of at a BBQ restaurant. The service is order at the counter then find your own seat. Even though there was no waiter, workers would check in on us to make sure everything was okay. Ambiance was perfect for a summer lunch/dinner.

    We were out shopping on a Saturday and I told my wife I was craving Bbq. She went on line and found Caldwell's County Bbq. We weren't quite sure on the way there, but when we arrived , the building and surrounding area were really nice. The restaurant was really nice and inviting when you walk in. The line to order is clearly marked with a huge sign with all of their offerings. The manager( I'm assuming he was the manager) greeted us and explained everything to us. He was really nice and informative. We got to the first counter with the sides and a super nice young man offered us samples of all the sides we wanted to try. We got the Texas Chili, Mac and cheese, baked beans and Potato salad. The next counter has all the meats, we were greeted by a nice man who had a sample of turkey waiting for us. My wife opted for the half rack of St Louis style ribs, and I was lucky and they still had the burnt ends. My wife liked her ribs, said they were a little bit Smokey but overall had a good flavor. My burnt ends were delicious , cooked perfectly. The Texas Chili I could have eaten a whole bowl it was so good. The Mac and cheese was good as were the other two sides. My wife saw a Texas sheet cake so of course we had to try that. Delicious as well. All in all, great experience and will be added to our list of go to places. The WHOLE staff was great!

    Go check them out! I'm glad they opened a location in the west valley! I am pleasantly surprised with the options, flavors, and overall service! I got the Family Meal for 8, a quart of Mac n cheese, and 2 jalapeño cheddar sausages. It was quite a spread and my most favorite items were the brisket and the ribs! There was plenty of flavor, strong peppercorn, and everything was well seasoned. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well as parking around the location. The service was so friendly and hospitable. You can sample the different items so you know where your dollars are going. I loved how the employees came around to check in on tables and asked if anything else was needed. Overall, I'll be coming back!

    Was super excited to try this place. The outside is very nice - large patio area with the tables and picnic tables, fans, and the little table fans to keep the flies away. I appreciated the huge menu when you first walk in the door. We had 6 in our party plus my toddler. We ended up deciding on the family of 8 meal. After you decide what to order, you walk around the wall and there's a counter to order sides. I wish there was another menu there because even though I literally just looked at the menu, I didn't know the sizes, which sides we were getting, or what was happening. It was also Friday evening with a long line so I felt bad. The lady asked what she could get me. I guess I should have told the girl it was our first time? I told her we were doing the family of 8 meal then she said we got the bigger containers of two sides. Then the guy at the other end gave us onions, pickles, and jalapeños. It was just me and my sister so he didn't give us enough, but after I told him we were doing the family meal, he gave us more. And added bread. It feels like the meat counter should be first? Happened again there and the girl asked what we wanted. I told her we were doing the family of 8 then she explained the options. The ordering experience was just weird. We got pork, brisket, smoked turkey, corn casserole, coleslaw, added a smoked sausage link, and got my toddler Mac and cheese. The pork was great. Nice and tender and it paired well with the house sauce. I love brisket but this one missed the mark. It was 80% fat on all the pieces we got, so that was disappointing. The smoked turkey was good. I really enjoyed the sides - the lemon poppyseed coleslaw was surprising, super refreshing and paired well with the meats. The corn casserole was delicious. The jalepeno cheese sausage was ok, definitely would not pay $9 for a single sausage again. My toddler did not like the Mac and cheese. I'm not sure if there were green chilis in it or maybe it was one of the cheeses, but I couldn't find anything else on the menu she would eat. We spent $150 for our family, which is cheaper than if we each got a meat and sides, but still expensive. I'd like to go back to try the ribs and hopefully have a better ordering experience.

    First time coming here and will be back. The staff was very nice and friendly. They came up to us asking how was everything and if we needed anything. Vibe inside was cute and nice. What I like about this place is that give you taste samples. Food: We love everything we got. I love the pork rib very yummy and flavorful. Meat was soft, wasn't dry at all. And the Mac n cheese so good.

    Chili- baked potato- Mac & cheese & the brisket!

    This place was awesome! First the place was so cute and loved the vibe- indoor and outdoor seating and if you sit outside there are 3 huge pits that they are working and the chopped wood all around is part of the decor. But from the minute we walked in everyone was so friendly and nice and the food was delicious! We got a little of everything- Mac & cheese, baked potato, had to get a side of the sausage as well as the brisket! In town for a baseball tournament- but if we are in the area again we will definitely be back!

    Tried another new tasty TX BBQ restaurant today in Old Town Peoria that opened Feb 2026. (I was told). Much closer than their Gilbert location. Another trendy place and dogs welcome on patio. Since the temps are only 96 the patio with misters were very comfortable. Our new favorite BBQ place. Meat, sauces, and sides very tasty. I tried the smoked turkey and you will find it juicier anywhere. The energy from the Sstaff were awesome and makes me want to come back and try other items. They even offered to show us what brisket was being cooked outside.

Shame on me to not share this gem that should be celebrated by all. First, the mac salad at Leo's is hands down my favorite! For the entree, anything curry, shrimp or chicken. I am drooling as I write this! The curry hits you in all the right spots as you take your first bite. The vegetables with the curry are firm enough to not turn into mush and tender enough to eat without teeth :-).... I do not think I've had a plate at Leo's that I have not enjoyed. The dinning area is always clean, even when the line is out the door. The drink station and condiment area is equally as clean and orderly regardless of the amount of people inside. As for the crowds, I've seen UFC fighters, baseball players and ordinary folks like you and I getting their fix at Leo's! I love seeing the same employees for the years that I've been going.

I liked their chicken and short rib plate, there was chicken katsu, bbq chicken, and beef short rib for $17, which is very good price. The chicken katsu was crispy and not dry on the inside. The short ribs was grilled perfectly and not burnt. However, I'm not a big fan of their garlic shrimp, it wasn't garlicky enough for me, and kind of lack of what garlic shrimp should have-flavor. The amount of shrimp was generous though. Overall, good price and will try other plate next time.

This meal was a satisfying all-you-can-eat feast that balances quality meats, traditional Korean side dishes, and crowd-pleasing appetizers, topped by superior service from Jimmy. From the moment the food arrived, the presentation set the tone. The table was quickly filled with colorful banchan (Korean side dishes), including kimchi, cucumber salad, bean sprouts, pickled radish, fish cake, and potato salad. While these sides may seem simple, they play an important role in Korean BBQ, providing contrast to the rich grilled meats. The kimchi was fresh and vibrant, with a bright red color with plenty of spice and fermentation. The appetizers looked like a strong start to the meal. The japchae (glass noodles) were well-seasoned, offering a slightly sweet and savory flavor profile. The gyoza had a crisp golden exterior, suggesting a satisfying crunch before giving way to a savory filling. One standout appetizer was the corn cheese--a bubbling skillet of sweet corn and melted cheese that looked indulgent, comforting, and impossible to resist. The fried chicken also deserves mention; the crispy coating was perfectly golden and paired with a vibrant dipping sauce that added a sweet-spicy kick. The real star, however, was the barbecue itself. The platters of raw meat has excellent variety, with beautifully marbled cuts that promised flavor before they even hit the grill. Steak, in particular, was thick-cut and rich, tender and well-marbled. Once grilled, the meat developed an appealing caramelized exterior with just the right amount of char. There is something uniquely enjoyable about cooking your own food, sharing dishes, and pacing the meal at your own speed. The tabletop grill becomes the center of the dining experience, encouraging conversation and making the meal feel more like an event than simply dinner. The restaurant's atmosphere appears casual, clean, and focused on the food. The grill setup was well-integrated into the tables, and the overall dining area looked comfortable without unnecessary distractions. The emphasis remained where it should be: on the endless flow of food. For the price point shown on the menu, the value appears excellent. The combination of unlimited appetizers, numerous beef and pork options, seafood selections, and traditional Korean side dishes offers plenty of variety. Diners can sample multiple proteins and flavors without feeling restricted to a single entrée. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Korean BBQ enthusiast, this is a meal worth gathering friends and family around the grill for.

When I asked for some forks, for a table of 9, he brought exactly two and then disappeared. When I got up and found someone to ask for forks, I was told I HAD to get those from my server. When I asked if they could just go grab some since he disappeared and wasn't coming back, I was told no. We had to ask him. I finally asked directly if the host could just let our waiter know. We got the forks and after that he seemed to come around more but we just felt like the entire time we were guessing on how it worked. I mean, it's not rocket science I get that but as a table full of people who worked in the restaurant industry (and some who currently still do, even one who's family owns a restaurant) we were scratching our heads at how BAD the service was. $400 later, not worth it even a little bit. It was fine for my daughter's birthday but we just felt like we were bothering the waiter the entire time. They add gratuity to large parties and now I see why. He didn't really need to try, because he was getting the tip regardless I guess.
