Caldwell County BBQ

I was excited to see the owner point out that they look out for allergens recognizing how difficult it is to eat out. My family will do anything to help me find food. The food smelled amazing and I was excited to try the brisket….then watched as the person working cut open a bag of rolls over a wood cutting board, set the rolls on the board and opened them…then right after he moved the rolls he set the brisket on the cutting board and also used the same knife to cut the meat. Major cross contamination problem. Sadly we had to turn around and look for food somewhere else

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I’ve had a hard time finding a BBQ place that fits all of my food allergies including my celiac disease, but this place took beyond care of my boyfriend and I. We saw that there were good reviews and wanted to try them for dinner. It was one of the best decisions ever! As soon as you walk in you feel warm and welcomed. The employees all care for you and attend to anything that you need. When we told them about my celiac they went beyond to explain what was safe to eat and explained the precautions they take for celiac. I wasn’t expecting the food to taste like literal heaven. Everything was just beyond delicious. They even had a gluten-free banana pudding that tasted so light, fluffy and like banana unlike most banana puddings. My boyfriend hasn’t been able to smell or really taste much of anything since 2016, but with everything that they have to offer he was able to taste every single little ingredient. It was enough to make a grown man cry and he did. We definitely recommend this place 100000%!!! I will say that they are busy depending on what time you go, but it will be worth the wait no matter what and can be pricey depending on what you get. The total for us was 102.58 but with that price we got a lot of food that was worth it and enough for leftovers.

Food we got: -1lb Prime Rib -1lb Pulled Pork -coleslaw -potato salad -Mac and cheese -pretzel buns w/sea salt -salad -pinto beans -cornbread -regular banana pudding -gluten free banana pudding -1 Vanilla cream soda -1 Fountain drink -Gluten free sauces

Told them up front I had celiac and they said meats and sauces were gluten free and they could totally accommodate me which they did. They brought in a new clean cutting board and the carver changed his gloves. Got brisket and pulled pork to go along with their standard BBQ sauce and the sweet and spicy sauce. All was delicious.

First off I love this place. People are so friendly and they are accommodating for celiacs. Lots of gf options and they swap gloves, change cutting board and get out new meats for celiacs. Definitely go.

Not sure if the owner sees these reviews but I was at the new pecan lakes location and the folks there said the sauces are not safe for celiacs because the worcestershire sauce isnt GF. I know the original branded Worchershire sauce is GF… but maybe the stuff they source isnt? I’ll probably reconfirm next time I go back but I skipped the sauce to be safe.

Celiac here. Nicest most accommodating people. Changed out gloves and got a new cutting board. All meat and sauces are gf. Happily shared which of the sides we could have (potato salad, cole slaw, garden salad). Didn’t make us feel like we were annoying them. Really friendly-will be back.

Would recommend bringing your own bun to enjoy the bbq as a sandwich. No gf bread options but the bbq is delicious.

Amazing! Very appreciative of their knowledge and extra steps they take to keep me safe. I chose to purchase smoked sliced turkey for Thanksgiving. This may be our new tradition! Definitely check this one out!!

We choose not to order sides as the buns and sides are in the same area but the sauce and meat are amazing. We have gotten takeout many times and never had a reaction.
