Matus -b-q - Caldwell

This is by far one of the greatest BBQ establishments around. It was built from the ground up by some of the greatest folks I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Their food is fantastic and they will always treat you like family. Their prices are beyond fair considering the master quality of their products. Anyone who is reasonable and prudent, should ignore the false reviews which were submitted by spam accounts. You are truly missing out if you don’t give them a shot! And don’t forget to place your order in advance because they sell out fast! I think that speaks for itself!

Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve had in a very long time. Prices were absolutely amazing and the ladies behind the counter were as sweet as could be. I’d recommend to any and everyone!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Best brisket you will ever have in your life! Staff was great and friendly. We loved it and will be back for sure!

Texas style of BBQ is an enigma. Living in SE Texas, the search for the most authentic Texas BBQ, commonly yields hits that are popular on different social media. We forget, that although such places are amazing in their own ways, but often, their rating is driven by the proximity to cities (Austin, Waxahachee, San Antonio) or other attractions and most importantly, appeals to a chunk of the society that is savvy and reliant to social media connections. Then, there are places, that are very rarely hyped or mentioned in the social media and are tucked away in a quaint Texas town serve food twice a week on the weekend and are 'sold out ' by 11am on a Sunday. Matus BBQ in Caldwell may not have the panache or the charm by the overall look and feel of its joint, but it might just have served me the best BBQ, I had in my entire lifetime so far. I could tell from the moment I parked infront of the BBQ place, they dont care about their location or the ambience or social media presence. But what they do care about is the warmth of their front house staff and the love and passion with which they cook their food for 26 years in the same location. Words have fallen short to describe the brisket I had and I say this rarely, but I was flabbergasted by the sausage that they made in house. I have attached some pictures for others to evaluate my emotions, but I doubt they will be close to making the right justice. In the end, I will just say, I am way underqualified to express any remark about their food, their love, passion and expertise in what they do. I would urge one and all foodies near and far, please give this place a try in the Kolache capital of Texas . I can personally guarantee you will not regret. The lesson we learnt is if the vessel is full, it does not make much noise.
