Goode Co. Barbeque

Jim Goode first opened the doors to Goode Co. Barbeque in Houston back in 1977, on a mission to share and preserve the rich cooking traditions of Texas. Every night, Jim and his Uncle Joe would sleep in the restaurant, waking up every hour to check on the brisket, and word quickly got around that something good was coming out of the barn-style restaurant’s smokers. Those pits haven’t stopped smoking since then, and Goode Co. has since become a family-owned-and-operated Houston restaurant empire, spawning a seafood restaurant, taqueria, fried chicken joint, and more.

Today, Jim’s vision is proudly carried forth by his son, Levi, who’s picked up a few James Beard Award nominations for his efforts. Their brisket, sausage, ribs, turkey, and more are all made with locally-sourced meat, seasoned with a secret blend of herbs and spices, and slowly smoked over Texas mesquite. All of these, plus, their renowned Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie, are shipping nationwide!
