Booked a Texas BBQ for a U15 hockey team on 5 days notice. Aaron was amazingly helpful and accommodating despite the really short notice on a long weekend. Food was absolutely amazing and Aaron went above and beyond! One of the adults commented that they lived in Texas for a few years and this was far and away the best Texas BBQ they ever had. Will recommend to everyone I know!!
Burnt ends yum Corn bread even better Hoping for a platter with mixed meats but they didn’t have ribs on Tuesday. It good bbq no complaints from me
Best BBQ. Period. And the pit beans are bloody mind blowing.
Absolutely delicious! We chose CraddyShack to cater our wedding, we wanted something different and fun and of course delicious and Aaron and his staff did not disappoint. Not only was the food an absolute hit with the guests, but the staff were equally amazing. My husband worked in Texas for years and he knew he wanted southern bbq for dinner, as I’m sure you can imagine finding good southern bbq in Alberta was challenging, until we found Aaron. The brisket was amazing, the chicken was top notch and the guests a week later have still not stopped messaging me about how amazing the food was. Thank you so much Aaron, you truly are an amazing chef and service provider! The food truck is beautiful! The bonus part of it all was Aaron made sure we had food to take home with us even after everyone was stuffed full, the portion sizes left no one hungry after.
I have tried plenty of BBQ places and none of them compare to this place. It was the best brisket I have ever had. Aaron and his team kept us well fed while we bartended at the Ponoka Stampede and everything we tried was so delicious. I’m definitely going to find this truck again when I’m back in Red Deer. Thanks Craddy and Uncle Tomahawk for keeping us sated while we were slinging drinks ❤️
So glad we tried this place for the first time and will definitely be back again. I love smoked food but this was some of the best we have ever had. The wife got the brisket grilled cheese, I got the 1/4 lb brisket sandwich with loaded pulled pork fries. We loved every bite. Zero complaints here about anything. Thanks for the great food/service at a decent price!
Best burnt ends in all of Alberta! First time having this since I visited Texas and this is as good as it gets! Thank you so much, I will be back! :)
The food was fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwiches and my little guy devoured as many fries as he could get his hands on. All that, coupled with a friendly cook/owner, made for an enjoyable experience indeed!!!
Best food Ive had in red deer in a loooooong time.
I dealt with Adam as a customer for my small business. Very east to deal with when he rented one of my trailers. Would I do business with him again...Absolutely.
Thanks so much for catering our party! The food was delicious and all of the guests were very impressed!
Best brisket I ve ever had. They r NOT cheap on the portions !
Love the ribs and brisket!
Very disappointed that you guys didnt show up at the Sylvan Lake market tonight as advertised. Its my Birthday and we made a special trip just for your Realignment and Knockout!! Too bad!
Great food! Great people! my go to when I m craving some fantastic BBQ, fair price and love supporting local!
Best smoked meat in Red Deer and surrounding area.
Just polished off a rack at Sandy point Beach. Best barbecue Ive had in years
Best brisket you can find in town, their specials are to die for! Honestly a Gem within Red deer, a MUST try! Wonderful staff as well. Dont let the line scare you, it moves fast.
Brisket, top notch. Pulled pork GC, top notch. Kids loved it too. Food : 5/5
Try every item, seriously.
Amazing food and amazing service!
This bbq is absolutely legitimate! Definitely the best grilled cheese, brisket, pork Ive had in a while. Will be getting the full rack of ribs next time!
Phenomenal BBQ, definitely worth the price. I rarely enjoy buying BBQ food because I love to make my own and cook on a smoker, but Craddyshack is legit!
Amazing food and people
This Pit Crew knows how to market themselves Brisket sandwich, smoked potato salad, slaw, and maple vanilla corn bread all for FREE?!?! at Brandt Tractor customer appreciation day. Absolutely deLISH. Even the bun was basted in garlic butter and crispy on the edges Well done Craddy team!
Absolutely delicious brisket!
Excellent service, and even better food! Highly recommend the ribs, they are the best Ive ever had
Wow! Mind blown!!! Amazing food
Food was delicious, quick and hot. We had the ribs on special, loaded fries with brisket and the beans. It was all so great, cant wait to come back and try more! Glad to have something different in Red Deer.
Great tasting food fast service Great people if you havent been here run it sells out fast
Like a trip to Texas for $40. Fantastic!
A bit pricey, but the Realignment sandwich was amazing. Best brisket I have had in Canada.
Do yourself a favor and eat here, you will not regret it.
I had the realignment burger and that flavour was 5 stars for sure. Friendly staff and I cant believe how efficient they were. Ill be back again for sure.
Great food good service!!!! Good people very friendly prices are great!!!
Best ribs, brisket, and beans I ve ever had. Also, the brisket grilled cheese is to die for.
Friendly staff - great food!
Been 3 times already and havent been disappointed yet. Sauces and sides are all great and the brisket sandwich is a star on its own! Will continue to come back!
Soooooo good!
Best BBQ in Alberta. All the food is great, but make sure to get the brisket and the pit beans. Best brisket and beans Ive ever had!!
Delicious!!
Ordered the special of the day a half pound maple bourbon brisket sandwich and the beans and let me tell you top not operation from service to food quality do not drive past this truck you will regret it nothing but the best will definitly be back (thankfully I dont live in red deer or Id be looking more like a beached whale then I already do)
The Best!
A must try !!! Such awesome staff and delicious food.
Craddyshack!!!! Today was the first time Ive stopped in, lll be back! The best Brisket sandwich Ive ever had. Ive eating a lot of BBQ around North America, many places drown their sandwiches in sauce or are too heavy with the smoke. Not Craddyshack they are dialed in, great tasting meats, delicious condiments and fresh buns. The ribs were excellent also, still had a good amount of bite and texture to the meat. Not fall of the bone mush everyone seems to the is good BBQ. Do yourself a favor, stop in at Craddyshack and grab a couple of sandwiches, some ribs, maybe some sides, then settle in for an afternoon meat comma.
Delicious brisket! The guys who runs the foodtruck are awesome!
Only order the brisket grilled cheese if you are okay with it completely ruining regular grilled cheese sandwiches forever. This was one of the best things Ive ever eaten. They were also thoughtful and cut my toddlers sandwich in half without asking. This is the first time Ive had the pleasure of trying their menu. I cant wait to go back. Thank you!
