German Czech meat market habits still echo in the countryside around Caldwell, where sausage talk can be as common as weather talk. The town sits on easy day trip routes, so lunch can turn into a full afternoon if you let it. Arrive early and you will have more choices.
Matus Bar-B-Q is the natural start when you want brisket with a direct Texas BBQ approach. Daisy Dukes BBQ gives you another counter for smoked sausage on a simple tray. Dickie Doo's can fit when you want something fast before the next mile.
Keep the order focused and share a few bites at the table. Sauce stays optional. After you eat, take a slow loop on the farm roads and let the day stretch a little longer.
