My husband and I were out on a motorcycle ride on Christmas Eve and passed through Caldwell. We were excited to see something open and decided to stop at Daisy Dukes Barbecue--and I'm so glad we did. From the moment you walk in, you get that hometown, come-on-in feeling that lets you know the food is going to be good. We were starving and couldn't decide what to order, so the owner suggested a sampler. I don't know if it was an official menu item or something she just put together for us, but she absolutely loaded us up. We had brisket, sausage, fried fish, potatoes, potato salad, coleslaw, and beans--and every bit of it was amazing. We even grabbed two desserts to go. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, and I can't believe it's been here forever and we've never stopped in before while traveling through. If you're in the area--or even if you're not--it's worth the trip. We can't wait to come back.

Tremendous BBQ experience here today!…read more Came from Austin, about an hour drive. Arrived around 10:20am. The line was short for early March, weather was fantastic. We ordered and got our food within 10mins of being there. All was so delicious, the brisket, the pork shoulder, sausages were amazing, ribs 10/10. The sauce was just so yummy! Potato salad was a hit and the banana pudding cannot be skipped! Plenty of seating, all outside and under covering. Classic bbq ambiance! Just loved it all!!

We ordered a lot of stuff for a group of ten people. The pork steak, chicken, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, reg sausage, pork ribs. The sides were bbq beans, potato salad, Cole slaw. And also came with white bread, onions, pickles, and jalapenos. The pork steak was incredible! I've never had pork steak like that before. The brisket was nice and fatty. The potato salad reminded me of grade school in a good way. I got a photo with tootsie as well. What a great bbq experience. Recommendation: pork steak, brisket, and chicken

It's just a different vibe with real good home-cooking. The day I went I barely made it before they closed, so of course, just about everything was sold out (which is always a good sign). I wanted to try the brisket baked potato, but since they didn't have any brisket left, they made me one with ribs. I'm not usually a rib gal, but Pop brought me one out to try while they were making my potato and won me over. It was fall off the bone tender, literally!! I basically just had to pick up the bone and the meat fell off. Then, the potato... He weighed it before giving it to me and it was 5 lbs. Two of us ate delicious, cheesy, buttery, baked potato with ribs for two days! Plus, I just have to say that I was so impressed with the cleanliness and overall cuteness of the little shop. I really can't wait to go back - I just wish they were open later and more days of the week. I want to try the banana pudding, too, next time. By the way, 'Ma and Pop' were just about the sweetest people I've ever met. I really wanted to be sure to leave a review because of that and they recommended on Facebook using his real name. He wrote it for me on one of his cards that I'd already lost by the time I got home. So I hope they see that I meant what I said and that I do plan to come back. Save some brisket for me!

We were treated like old friends on our first visit and they made sure we were enjoying everything. They have some family style picnic seating that we got to enjoy lunch with our family visiting from AZ which was nice! We grabbed a little of everything available meat wise and it was all great!

Arrived around 10:45am , place opens at 11am. A few people in line and only street parking available behind the place. Free Lone Star beer makes the wait enjoyable on a warm Texas day. My crew of four got the Texas Trinity and added 1/2 pound of brisket along with a slice of carrot cake. Sides we got potato salad and Brussel sprouts. Brisket 9/10 is was good but not a 10/10 Ribs 8/10 as they are good but could have been more tender. Sausage we got 1 link of each type 10/10 but my favorite was the brisket boudin. At 99.75 plus our add ons this enough food for 3 guys and little me. We sat outside as it was a picture perfect day for Texas Saturday. I would return and I highly recommend this place to everyone driving on 290 on the weekends early morning.

Of the sides, I like the corn pudding but the beans are forgettable. Free beer? Well it's Lone Star LIGHT! The meal itself was very expensive.

Most seating is outside, which was a comfortable place to sit and listen to some excellent blues while eating. I'd stop again if in the area while hungry, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. There are likely better places where you are coming from or going to.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, with a nicely decorated dining area and plenty of seating. The staff was incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. But of course, the real star was the food. Let's start with the brisket. I tried both the lean and the moist cuts, and they were both cooked to absolute perfection. The bark was fantastic--a deep, flavorful crust that gave way to incredibly tender meat. We were also offered a sample of the burnt ends, and they were delicious, a rich and savory bite that left me wanting more. The Hatch Chili Oaxaca sausage was another highlight. It had a smooth, mild flavor that let the sausage itself shine. The cheese had a nice texture and a subtle hint of chili that wasn't overpowering. The ribs were also outstanding. They had a great bite, just the right amount of pull from the bone, and a wonderful flavor. The classic salt and pepper rub was perfectly balanced, enhancing the meat without dominating it. For the sides, I was impressed with the potato salad. It was wonderfully creamy, loaded with big pieces of potato and bacon, and had just the right amount of onion for a nice tang. The mac and cheese was also great, with a very creamy sauce that had a fantastic flavor. While the noodles were a little on the softer side, it didn't take away from how delicious the dish was overall. Overall, this is a top-tier barbecue joint that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly great BBQ experience.
