Calhoun's Family Texas Barbeque

"Old Town Murrieta is a very quiet place most days, but Calhoun's is always busy with lots of take out orders and people going through. Service is very fast and it appears that you can call ahead to order. The menu is standard fare for American BBQ, and everything we tried off the menu is good. The physical space is very small, they only have about 4 tables so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large group and expecting to sit down and eat. They pack everything in to go boxes so it's easy to just grab your order and go. The food and service is superb, you can definitely tell everything made from scratch and with care!"

"We walked in & immediately it felt like a healthy family gathering. People laughing, talking & eating. The food was delicious! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful that you didn't need any sauce to eat it. The pulled pork was tender, juicy and flavored just right, I added a small amount of sauce just for habits sake. The bun didn't get soggy & wasnt to bulky either. The fresh cut fries had that perfect mix of soft & crunchy that paired nicely with the BBQ sauce. The beans were yummy and the coleslaw got better with every bite, by the last swallow we wanted to order more but couldn't possibly fit it in! Their pricing is more than fair and their customer service is fantastic. I appreciated that they didnt put the bbq sauce all over everything, we usually have to request it on the side for dietary reasons for my husband & preference for my son. This was our 1st time here, but it won't be our last."

"First time at this great place. This sweet family puts heart and soul into this delicious food. The place was warm and welcoming, super clean and the food was delicious. Will be back for sure. Tried the brisket sandwich with the hot link, with a side of fries. Super good, great smoke and flavor. The sauce was one of my favorites."

"Brisket sandwich and Sweet tea were amazing they continuously smoke more meat on the side of the property. I will be coming back for a hotlink sandwich to take home tonight!"
