Calhoun Family Texas Barbeque

Great experience and friendly atmosphere. Professional Service. A great place to visit to get some home-cooked meals, especially barbecue... great flavored barbecue sauce! An overall great experience for our first time there and we will definitely be returning!

We went to Calhoun's Texas barbecue in Murrieta. We ordered a slab of spareribs, a pound of beef brisket, a side of coleslaw, and a side of beans. Both the beans and coleslaw were delicious. A definite 10/10. Their barbecue sauce was also a 10 out of 10.
The brisket was served chopped up and didn't have enough fat in it, so it was a little dry and a little bland, but it was still very tender and good. We give it a 7.5/10.
Now lets talk about the spareribs. When you order a slab of ribs, they give you a "full" slab of ribs, the container was filled to the brim. The ribs were so tender, juicy, and fall off the bone. They just didn't have any seasoning. We give them a 8.5/10.
We give Calhoun's an overall score of an 8 out of 10, and would definitely go back again.

My family and I always come here to Calhoun's family barbecue and it's always so good!! We order the sampler platter with brisket, Pulled pork, baby back ribs, or spare ribs and chicken.
The only thing is, is that the restaurant is small inside so get there early if you want a table. The service is good too.
It's definitely worth it! 😊👍

I stopped by on Friday with a friend of mine. She wasn't really hungry so she asked me to order her Natural Cut Fries and Potato Salad. I ordered myself, Half Chicken and Mac N Cheese. I had to wait a bit to get help, but I was understanding because I've worked restaurants before. Mrs. Calhoun's (owner) took my order then I sat in a table. After she helped few customers behind me, she asked me if I wanted an additional plate since she noticed I came with my friend. I said yes, and thank you. People kept coming in to order and others were waiting on their orders. I immediately knew this place was going be good. Once she brought our food, she noticed the table was a bit dirty so she immediately cleaned it herself before giving us our food. I loved the BBQ flavor sauce and the chicken was tender. The Mac N Cheese had black pepper and good cheese texture. I also would like to mention the cup size was perfect for my feasting. I will definitely be back! She gave good service, the food is flavorful. Even my friend liked the food a lot. I plan to go again and this time take my sister and mom with me. I hope and know that in the near future Calhoun's Family Texas BBQ will get a bigger location so there is more seating. I will definitely be able take my siblings and their kiddos. But in the meantime I might just need place a catering order and just let my family try it here at the house, no matter what Calhoun's Family is serving our communities with flavorful BBQ meals, good heart and staying strong through it all. Thank you for my first time experience and everything your doing to keep going with STRENGTH. ❤️🙏🏽
