    Caldwell BBQ had been on our list to try but we just never made it to the east side of town for it. SO happy there's a location close by us now! The BBQ here is fantastic!! The employees were so welcoming and friendly and there is lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We did the family of 4 meal for $65 which is a great deal. We added on a half jalapeño sausage and some desserts. The meats are all so tender and flavorful!! Some of the best brisket we've had. For the sides we really liked the Mac and cheese and corn casserole. The beans needed something to it but were filled with meat bits throughout. The coleslaw wasn't really my cup of tea but I don't really care for more heave based vinegar recipes. The Texas sheet cake and banana pudding were delicious! We've also tried their sliders and all equally amazing and served on a pretzel bun. Looking forward to the next meal from here!

    If you like tender, well seasoned brisket & ribs this is the place to go. Sides I've had are mac n cheese, potato salad, & beans. Beans are savory, but everything is okay. I go primarily for the meat. Cannot go wrong!! Service is always good & fast. Great indoor & outdoor seating.

    Walking in, it feels like a classic BBQ spot with a rustic, open-house vibe. There is plenty of seating along with plenty of food options to choose from, and the service was absolutely amazing. We were greeted at the door, and someone checked on us in the middle of our meal to make sure everything was going well. The staff were all very friendly, and the food was flavorful and delicious. The setup is almost like a lunch-line style--you grab a tray, tell them what sides and meats you want, and they serve everything right onto your plate. Before you know it, you've got a full tray of great food all to yourself!

    Warms my heart to see one on the west side now. Been driving an hour one way to hit up the other locations. Now we can feast even sooner! Same great smokey taste and same great sauces! Usually go with the 'family of 4' meal and add on as necessary. Brisket is usually on point and devoured quickly. Pulled pork is fork tender and goes so well in a sandwich or by itself. Mac & cheese is delicious and so is the cornbread casserole. Do yourself a flavor favor and come stuff your face!

    This bbq spot is going to be a hot spot for sure! Now open and we're glad we stopped by to try their bbq. Food was delicious with really good meat / side options. The corn casserole OMG I could order a tub of that alone. The man that helped us cut our meat selections was very friendly. Inside there is a lot of seating and room for large parties if you're planning on coming with a large group. There's also a lot of outside seating to enjoy your meals. We will be back in the near future to satisfy our bbq cravings!!!

    This is one of my favorite bbq places to eat and I'm very glad they decided to build a restaurant close to me. The food here is delicious and they have a wide variety of bbq. I definitely love the smokiness of the food and overall the food is delicious. If you're craving some great bbq I would highly recommend this place! The people here are kind and helpful and love the open space dinning area great for big or small families.

    It's was my Birthday Weekend and my Boyz wanted to take me to lunch. We eyed a spot in Gilbert and then found they open a spot slightly closer so we headed North 101 to Peoria and Caldwell County BBQ. So glad we did. Great Spot in the center of Peoria. Right across from the Performing Arts Civic Center and park. Nice new digs. We knew we were getting close as we could smell good BBQ before we even arrived. Once on site we met the pit masters n general manager who gave us a tour of the four 1000 gallon smokers. They were also roasting chiles while we were there. Very Kewl Group Welcoming and knowledgeable. Then it came time to sample. We had Brisket, Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, and Smoked Sausage. Our sides were Mac n Cheese, BBQ Beans, Coleslaw, white bread, pickles, cucumber slices. They offered three different sauces. A Sweet Heat, Arizona Gold (Mustard Base), and a house BBQ. ( All three were very good). But y'all know what I always say. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce. All of the meats were excellent my favorites in order was the Pulled Pork, Brisket, Pork Ribs & Smoked Sausage. The pulled pork was really done well. All the sides were again done very well. But of the three the slaw was best especially with the pulled pork. I put the Hot BBQ sauce on the Mac and it was Banging. I liked it so much I went back in and bought a bottle for home. We'll definitely be back for more Brisket and a Go at that Turkey. To Moses's n pit-masters. Great job all around. Clean, Great Service, Great Food n Bar. Out door misters an added bonus. The small attention to detail says it all. Good Luck with the new spot.

    Can I just start off with BBQ isn't my favorite. I like to try new restaurants with my friends so I will eat BBQ. I was leary about the location, 83rd and Peoria. But they have actually done a lot of work in the area and the restaurant is really nice. Let's move on to the food. You start off in line picking your sides. YUM! I love a side. Then the next line is the meat. Everything looked and smelled so good. I picked my potato, brisket, sausage, and mac and cheese. I also tasted the baked beans and corn casserole. Soooo good. The restaurant was clean, lots of tables to sit at, and everyone was friendly. And before you leave you have to try some dessert. They have Texas sheet cake, pecan pie, cookies, and banana pudding. We tried them all. DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back.

    My first time in Arizona and my first time visiting this happening. Barbecue spot. Service was great. Food was wonderful. Everyone should give it a shot and try everything on the menu. I had. The St. Louis ribs, coleslaw and burned ends. I'm from Los Angeles. Just passing through.

    Bro Bro's BBQ is a food truck in Metro Phoenix that serves BBQ. We tried it at Food Truck Friday…read moreWest in Glendale. I knew that this would be great just by smelling the BBQ aroma in the air. We shared the BBQ Brisket Sandwich with added corn and an added grilled poblano pepper. This was a giant pile that you need to eat with a knife and fork. But they don't get the 5 stars for generous portions. They get the 5 stars for taste. This started off on a very tasty bun that was baked with cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers IN THE BUN. The smoked brisket was so flavorful and so tender and was a perfect mix of lean and fatty.

Pros: They serve alcohol. Including my favorite draft Big Blue Van. Brisket and pork both had pretty good flavor. Cabbage in the slaw was fresh. Cons: All proteins were cold. Like not even warm. Coleslaw even though the menu specified cilantro and jalapeño I only tasted raw Cabbage . Ribs weren't tender. I know they should have bite but mine was tough with a artificial smoke taste. Brisket was shredded not sliced. Service. Bartender was nice and personable but I sat for 10 minutes with a empty and she never asked if I wanted another even though the place wasn't busy. Bar itself is a sh!t hole no points taken off because they are remodeling. Overall the meal as a whole was meh! Decently priced but...I'm not sure if it was worth the trip.
