    Great serving sizes, and I love that you can customize how much mac salad and rice you get for your plate depending on your preference. The staff here were helpful and very nice, and got my order out quickly. They have a kiosk to order as well as a register, so it's quick and easy. Some tables in the restaurant, but the atmosphere is not anything special.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken
    Ken R.

    Maui Wowi! This place is amazing. The food is cooked to order and with great, fast service and huge portions. I ordered the traditional Hawaiian BBQ chicken, and am taking at least half of it home with me. I think I got 3 or 4 chicken breasts. Will definitely be back to this fast-casual spot.

    Great and reliable Hawaiian food. I'm not sure how authentic it is, but it is definitely delicious. The best thing is the portion sizes. You get a lot of food for around $15-$20 after tax and it is so good. I love their plate options and recommend it.

    For $13.99 - I feel full and happy with my food decision today! Ended up here after seeing the never ending long lines at Aloha Fest over at Tempe Beach. Super short wait. It's a cute area. I have no complaints for this meaty $14 meal.

    Never been here before but I'm so glad I found it. Can I just say how much food they give you is awesome!! When I picked up the to go container to open it I did a double take on the weight. That thing was heavy. So much food. I ordered what I usually like to order from Hawaii bbq places- 1/2 bbq chk and 1/2 katsu with rice & Mac salad. Everything was delicious. Even the cabbage they put under the meat was tasty and so fresh. I loved it! Only ate like half of my food so I'll be enjoying some leftovers.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate ($15.77 with tax)

    One of my go-to places for a good Hawaiian plate lunch when I'm in town. Usually grab a plate before heading home to T-town. They've got big portions, and plate is enough to feed two people or one hungry kanak! lol. This last time I got the Hawaiian bbq mix. Sooo good! The kalbi is always my favorite! Mac salad is good too! Only thing is that I wish they'd give more rice cause there's a lot of meat in this plate! lol. In addition to the amazing food, service is also great! Food is made to order, and still comes out quickly. If you don't want to wait, you could also order online ahead of time People here are friendly and always very helpful.

    I've been looking for the best Hawaiian food in the Phoenix metro for a while and this is it. Hands down. Best quality, best price, and best portion size. How can you have all 3?? I don't know, but they did it. Now I'm just sad that it's 40 minutes from my house! I also loved the Hawaiian drinks! I got a second one for the road because I haven't seen them anywhere else.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix Special  SO MUCH FOOD!!!!
    Chris H.

    First off every order is to-go, even if eating there because the portions are so big! The food comes out so fast! All of the cashiers are really friendly. The amazing sounds with a blend of Asian-pacific tunes playing throughout the restaurant just adds to the experience. If you are hungry and looking for some good eats that won't completely break the budget, you gotta give this place a try! I don't think you will be disappointed!!

    Chicken Combo Special
    Kiarra V.

    This place is SO good!! My boyfriend and I discovered it about 6 months ago. It is the best Hawaiian food I have found. I am very picky about my mac salad and do not like it many places, but I get it here every time. I usually get the chicken combo plate, it comes with katsu chicken and barbecue chicken. I could talk about Maui Hawaiian Grill forever!!

    Kalua Pork Combo Special with Teriyaki Chicken

    i love this place so much, definitely comfort food to me! the portions are big and the prices are great. the employees are always kind and make my orders so fast. the restaurant itself is cute and i love it :) i always get pickup orders from here and the food is delicious!

I was amazed that it fed all nine of us with plenty left over to take home. Seriously, it cost about $12 per person before tips. I can't take them out for a burger and fries in many places for that same price. The service is excellent. Great place.

    I stopped by Caldwell County BBQ for dinner on a Saturday evening. Located in Gilbert, I found…read morestreet parking right in front of the restaurant despite it being quite busy. I'll preface this review by saying I have very high standards when it comes to BBQ. I am from Houston after all. Caldwell County BBQ very much lived up to the hype. It's no surprise their reviews are so good. Ambiance (5/5): Caldwell County BBQ serves Texas-style BBQ. I felt right at home. There's a lot of Texan decor and the sort of ambiance you would expect at a BBQ joint. It's a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating outside and a decent amount of seating inside. We sat inside. One of the things they do well is keeping the A/C blasting both indoors and outdoors (while you're likely going to wait in line) along with misters. Definitely something you need in Phoenix! Service (4/5): I hate waiting in line. Though it's not unusual at popular BBQ spots, I still wish places like this would hire a couple of more people to make the line move faster (or even completely eliminate the lines). We probably waited in line for about 20 minutes. They have a water cooler along the route, but it was all out. Something the staff should check on a little more frequently. With all this being said, Caldwell County is well worth the wait. Drinks (5/5): Whenever I'm at a BBQ joint, I'm looking for sweet tea. Which they have here. Plus your standard assortment of soft drinks and alcohol, with a focus on beer. Food (5/5): BBQ joints typically have you pay by weight or by plates (one meat, two meats, three meats, etc.). Caldwell does it by the pound unless you go with a sandwich, loaded baked potato, etc. What's nice is they also have a family pack for 4 which comes with brisket, pulled pork, and your choice of ribs, sausage, or one other protein which is escaping me. Plus two large pint-size sides. We rolled with this option as it's a good deal (brisket, pulled pork, and St. Louis style ribs with corn casserole and mac and cheese). White bread, pickles, onions, and jalapenos are available free of charge. There are three BBQ sauces at each table: their classic BBQ, spicy, and AZ gold). We also added a quarter pound of the AZ burnt ends. Man, these are some quality meats. Brisket is the true test of Texas BBQ and the shining star. The brisket here isn't the best I've ever had but it's quite respectable. The sweet and spicy AZ burnt ends were delicious too. The ribs were tender and had a nice sweet glaze on them. The pulled pork was my least favorite, but still quite good. The sides are solid, though they could be a bit better. The mac and cheese was too peppery for my taste and the corn casserole was too sweet. Like pretty much all craft BBQ these days, Caldwell County BBQ isn't cheap. But the quality is there. This is the type of place that I would come back to again and again. They also have a location in Peoria though this one is the original. And I hear they don't run out of meats as other BBQ joints do (especially in Texas). That's a big plus! It's always a bummer when a BBQ joint is out of something you want. If you haven't been to Caldwell County BBQ, change that quick. Yeehaw!

I came the Sunday before Memorial Day and waited about an hour. They'll let you order drinks while in line and there's water. They sold out of pork belly right when I reached the front so I hope to try that next time. All of the employees were incredibly friendly. I got the two meat plate with fatty brisket and pulled pork with mac 'n cheese and grits as sides. I added on the prickly pear lemonade and pecan pie. The meats rivaled the BBQ I've had in Texas. The mac was incredibly cheesy and flavorful, and they know how to do grits right. Even with the jalapeños they were not spicy at all and I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. The pecan pie was the best I've ever had. The filling was custardy thick - I've never had a pie like it. The lemonade was a nice tart complement to the meal, plus I loved the house and mustard sauces. Having grown up in the South, I have high standards for BBQ. This place deserves all the praise it's getting.

We got our rental car and drove right over. Because we were hungry we decided not to wait in the line but reschedule to go back on Friday. I looked more at the reviews and Tik Tok's and saw this place was legit and the beef rib was to die for. Comes Friday, we get there at 10:15 am right before the line built up. We spoke with one of the employees for while regarding what to order and about Spring Training while we were in line. As we got in, you order at the counter and pick what you want. The employees are cutting up the food in front of you and weighing it. The inside area has limited seating and it's very narrow. Outside theres a good amount of seating but filled up right away. I ordered the beef rib for my dad and I to share, a plate for myself with brisket and turkey. I got cole slaw and mac sald on the side, both were kind've whatever for me. The turkey honestly is a sleeper pick, it was delicious and more flavorful that I thought. Brisket was mouthwatering and so tender but that beef rib lived to the hype. It fell off the bone and had the perfect fattiness to tender ratio. We enjoyed the outside and feasted but it's quite expensive like all BBQ. The quality was fresh and I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. I don't eat BBQ a lot so I don't have a huge sample size for whats good or not but I loved it!

I had some other things to do so left the store to take care of other business. Once back home (we live fairly close to the store), I called to ask if the potatoes were ready and after being placed on a brief hold, was told they had some ready but they were flying out the door! The young lady asked me if I wanted to place an order over the phone and decided to do that just so I could be sure we had their most wonderful smoked potatoes. I drove down to pick up our order and was met with some of the best staff, who laughed with me about the situation. They agreed about people calling beforehand when wanting that much food, apparently they also got about 30 lbs of meat as well. It's all good and we will be back when we need our Rudy's fix!
