The service line is nice and friendly. The topping guy even asked me if that was enough! Haven't been here in a long time. Used an old gift card that still had credit, so my husband was especially happy. (Unlike the old gift cards from about the same time as those from a Texas-born, French-inspired American bakery whose cards DO expire! ) My stuffed potato with sausage was enough for two meals! The thing was that it didn't completely break down - the sides were very stiff and didn't break down. It also needed more moisture, so I went back and got more sour cream. When I went to get a utensil, the sweet take-out counter lady saw my hesitation and came over to help me. As she was getting it, I said that it looked to be in the staff area. She smiled and said, "Our house is your house." read more

Had lunch while in town. It's cafeteria style which is interesting. Plenty of seating and parking in the area. I had the brisket sandwich which was good but the bbq sauce wasn't what I am normally used to. I would have liked a more traditional sauce option. I had the potato salad as one side which was good. Also had the rice which was also good. Service is at the counter so that was fine. I would want to try it again if I got the chance. All around it was OK but there is definitely better bbq in the area. read more

Goode company is a staple and this visit was definitely good. My friend and I decided last minute to head here for some BBQ baked potatoes. The delicious smells hit as soon as we walked in! The staff was also very attentive and friendly during the whole visit. I ordered the brisket BBQ potato with a side of mac and cheese. I'm usually hesitant to order mac and cheese; although I love it, most places fall short. This mac and cheese was bomb - so good! The potato however was only okay. For more flavorful bbq, I might try another place before heading back to Goode, but this was still a wonderful visit and we didn't leave hungry. read more

Howdy from a cool BBQ spit! Service and atmosphere: This place is super organised, decorated and has a true Texan vibe. The restaurant's clean aesthetics will let you enjoy your visit and food to the maximum. Moreover, you will receive great customer service too. Food and drinks: Fantastic on all fronts. Tender BBQ meats, smashing seasoning, tangy sauce and very good selection of sides was spot on. They offer good selection of beers. Red wine is on the menu too. All was great. Pricing: Just right and super worth it! read more

Went with friends for a late lunch. We used to live in Houston and love Goode Co BBQ. The food is always good and consistent! We all had plates with two meats and sides. Brisket, Turkey , ribs , jalapeños sausage , cheque sausage all of it was delicious. We also got a chocolate crème pie to bring home and eat also delicious!! The restaurant is decorated with old saddles and other vintage items along with a beautiful chandelier. This is the best BBQ in Houston highly recommend!! read more

My first time ordering take out. I ordered the 3 meat two sides dinner which was only $1 more than the two meat two sides dinner. I had brisket which was mild, tender and juicy. A double order of pork ribs that were both tender and meaty. Flavor on the meats was nice. The Austin baked beans were scrumptious! Filled with meat, potatoes, peppers, and great seasoning on the baked beans. The beans could be a meal on its own. The potato salad was bland as if they had put cottage cheese or sour cream in it. The condiments included a nice container of mild bbq sauce, side of pickles, onions, jalapeños and a slice of homemade jalapeños cheese bread. For dessert I ordered the chocolate bourbon pecan pie..excellent! Not over powering, but deliciously rich in flavor. read more

I've been to Goode Company a few times and it never quite lives up to expectations and ends up being about on par with Pappas BBQ. I came to this location a few months ago (and clearly forgot to write a review). I had a two meat plate with brisket and ribs, and two sides that I'm not recalling at the moment. It was all okay. Not even as good as the last time I went to Pappas. I probably would have given it three stars. However, my most recent trip was a true disappointment. I had been craving a chopped beef potato, I haven't had one in quite a while. I ordered with excitement. But then I watched them slice and then chop up some brisket. Two slices, maybe 1/4 pound, gray, dry, not even a smoke ring to be seen on the meat. Then they cut open a small baked potato, put on "everything" aka, butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits?, and then my dry brisket on top. I took a bite and it was "meh." Not much flavor, very dry (both the meat and the potato). I added the whole little dish of sauce to try to revive my meal. It made it better, but still not great. It's what I would imagine a Chopped Beef Potato as a side order might be like, or what I'd get at a theme park in another state. For $15 I expected better from a local Texas BBQ joint. read more

I've been coming to Goode Company for years and they've never missed!!! I always get the Beef Ribs, Green Beans (LOVE THEM), and Czech Sausage. The Turkey and Chicken are fan favorites that I'll try, if I'm feeling it. The secret star of the show is the Pecan Pie. Customer service is always a hit. I always pick something that the cashier likes and try it. read more

I feel like five stars isn't enough. My co worker and I went here on the same day as the big storm in Houston about a month ago. We arrived in the middle of the storm, it was probably too dangerous to run from the car to the restaurant but we did any way. The manager welcomed us into safety. After awhile of watching the storm they asked if we were hungry, I insisted we pay for it but the said don't worry about it because they didn't have any power to the registers. The staff was super welcoming and nice, and the food tasted amazing, food was still warm even though there wasn't any power! read more

Goode Company restaurants are the best of the best! the food is always on point and the customer service is pretty good. I ordered a two meat plate of Czech Sausage and lean brisket. This is one of the few places that actually give you brisket that is cut lean. Most pit guys force fatty part on you, because of their belief, instead of giving you what you ask for. The dining room was pretty clean and the staff was nice. read more

I've eaten at Goode Company for 40 years. The past 10 years the quality has steadily declined. I ate my last meal there tonight. I ordered chicken, ribs, beans and cole slaw. The chicken and ribs were both dry. The beans and Cole slaw were fine. My meal was $43 for bad BBQ. There are so many better options for BBQ in Houston that I will give my business at that price. The only thing that is still great is the pecan pie. read more

I would 100% recommend this for the best BBQ in Houston! I have been eating here since 2005 and the food has always been remarkable! It is our go-to take out for special events. They even have a special family meal prepared for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is family friendly and the staff is very professional. read more

It's a good barbecue joint that has a very "texan decor." The portions are good for a lunch, and the staff is extremely cordial! Food: the three meat plate with Sausage, brisket, and baby back ribs was good and paired excellent with the complimentary bread slice! Specifically, the brisket was tender and tore easily, the sausage had a good casing, and the ribs were a bit tough but still excellent flavor. The sides of rice and cole slaw were good, but the rice was a bit too mushy. Be sure to ask for an extra barbecue sauce (it's sweet, but good) Cheers read more

Goode Co has pretty okay barbecue and a fun dining hall to make the experience fun. I book large groups here often. They offer a private room on the balcony overlooking the restaurant. It's fun up there with a great view of the hall and your guests and have a make lots of noise without bothering other guests. The restaurant will cater so your party doesn't need to see menus and the staff does a super job with service. read more

The service was unprofessional, had to repeat the order several times, after that she got it right but trashed it, 2 sides been and rice, and did another one, this time green beens that I didn't ask for. Package to go was broken and made a big mess. And she was a bit rude. The brisket was too tough and the ribs were not off the bone, more like almost uncooked. Not war I expected. Normally I'm happy with everything, not today. read more

Well, we've given Goode Co. BBQ so many chances but I think we're done. We live close and years ago when we moved into the area we really liked it but the last 4 times the brisket has been so tough and not very smoky. I know they probably have other things that are good but the brisket is what we go for. Service is very good though. read more

Their brisket is great- to the point it is seasoned and cooked so well it doesn't need sauce - that is a sign of an excellence. Great balance of flavor and smoke. Sausage is great as well. Ribs are good but not the best I've ever had. If you do want sauce - they've got it dialed in. All of the sides are also worth ordering. Bottom line, I will go out of my way to eat here every time I'm on this side of town. read more

That sauce?! Before I start with anything I have to get some answers for the (quote, unquote) BAR BE QUE sauce! It's one of the worst I've ever tasted but oddly enough I can imagine it working as a substitute marinara to put over a plate of pasta. If that same recipe has worked for them in all the years they've been in operation then more power to them but dang. Ok as for everything else: Me and my wife went in on a Sunday (9/21) afternoon and it was surprisingly light traffic. The servers were nice and the restaurant itself was clean. We tried the brisket, turkey breast, sausage and ribs. The sides were potato salad, mac/cheese and beans. The standout for me was the ribs. It has a nice pop to them. Everything else was alright. The bread is worth noting as well. Gee whiz that freaking sauce though. We kept dipping our meats in it just to make sure the barbecue flavor wasn't trying to dodge us. I even dipped all the way to the bottom just to be sure. On the way out I even asked a server if this was the only sauce they served, she said yes and offered me a bottle to purchase....thank you but no-freaking-ma'am! I've passed this place for YEARS and although I'm glad I finally stopped in to see what they're about, we won't be back. Maybe if they one day add spaghetti to the menu we might come back and check that out read more

Hardly any meat and my jalapeno bread was really thin on my last couple of sandwiches. Hardly any green beans on the sides. Did they get purchased? Sad! read more

This is Texas BBQ on the local commercial level. Props to them for being open past 7 on a Saturday since no other BBQ places were open. Craving some BBQ eats, I ordered and picked up my BBQ goods here to dig in at the comforts of my domicile. The three meat combo (pork ribs, brisket, jalapeño sausage) w/ potato salad and jambalaya rice and a half chicken order is what I unwrapped as I got home. I was impressed by the chicken and potato salad. Potato salad had a killer consistency and a hint of mustard which I like. The chicken was juicy with smokiness/char on it. Sausage and rice were decent; I've had better sausage elsewhere but it wasn't bad, same with the rice. The ribs and brisket were a bit dry and lacking in flavor since the cuts were a bit lean. Might be due to what they had remaining since I ordered late. I heard their pie is killer which I found out after reading the reviews after eating here. Probably should've went with that and had a smaller meat plate. Many natives rave about the pie. I applaud this place for still serving during this pandemic and having an efficient to-go service. However, you're better off going to one of the legendary local BBQ spots in this city such as Gatlin's or Burn's. Since this spot is close to me, it's convenient but as always, you gotta go the extra mile for that 'extra' in extraordinary! read more

Family favorite. Love this place. Best barbecue in town (I'm partial to tex-mex LOL). Very nice decor inside and employees are so sweet!

Two years ago I bought ham here for Thanksgiving and it was the best ham I'd ever had in my life. So smoky you could still smell it after you put it away. So I bought some again this year. I thought I kept smelling something electrical burning and as it turns out, it was the ham! All 11 people at dinner took one bite and put it down. No one could or would eat it. I don't know what the heck it was, but it was awful. It became the debate of the evening. Weird seasonings? Bad wood? Electrical fire in the pit? What a waste of a lot of money. Two years ago, their Pecan pie was the best I'd ever had, too. We couldn't stop eating it. It was addictive. This year, not so much. It was fine, actually. It just wasn't outstanding like it was before. It bears mentioning that around a year ago, we stopped in as we had never eaten a meal there and since the previous ham had been so good, we thought we should give it a try. We were shocked that this place has stayed in business with such bland and mediocre food. We didn't even finish our meal. We won't be going back. More than one disastrous experience is enough. . read more

This place is the real deal. Real Texas bbq. We were so impressed with the perfect smoked ribs. The spit fired chicken was perfectly moist and the brisket was amazing. The sides were all delicious. You can't go wrong with the ooey gooey pecan pie that was to die for. The restaurant decor is that of an old time saloon and should be considered to be museum. Good company bbq was the highlight of my Houston trip. It's not a just a restaurant.. but a dining experience. 10/10 ... I would highly recommend! read more

Horrible service don't bother..... I went here tonight at 6:00 place was 90% empty. Placed my order for sliced brisket and then waited 10 minutes for my order.. no problem with a line... there were no other customers in line. Just me.. no food, no service after ordering....Never got my food, just a long face to face with an employee who was busy talking to co- non workers but who didn't want to work... WTH? Who is managing this place? It definitely explains the 90% empty part... I walked out and won't be back any time soon.... No way to run a restaurant. read more

We couldn't have left Houston without some of its famous BBQ, and we certainly were not disappointed. With the help of some great reviews, our group decided to share 2 or 3 three meat platters, which come with a choice of three meats and 2x sides. So with that much variety, we had a chance to sample some sausage, roast and chicken. The sausage was excellent, tiny slivers almond with some spice that was a bit sweet and with a consistency of tomato soup. But it was still good, just not of the next level stuff you might expect. The chicken was a bit dry and not as memorable as the brisket, which by far was the best thing on the plate. The ribs were good, but only two per plate. I agree with some of the other reviews about the prices not matched up to the serving size, but its definately a premium. The service is good and fast. Very quick and not something you would go to the establishment for. The trick is to grab your tray and hope for the best. You need to know the sides, and you get a dollop of mac and cheese, collard greens (smokey) and beans. Whatever you like. Next time I'll try the potato. For dessert, the 6 of us shared a huge slice of pecan pie. And it's one of the best I've ever had. Definately worth a try if you are in the area . For about $100 USD for the group, not too bad value for the experience. read more

I have eaten here and the location on Kirby many time and have enjoyed it, but today the BBQ sauce was absolutely Horrendous, it was a jar of marinara sauce with spices added. I spent 15 minutes cleaning that mess off my brisket with napkins so that at the very least it would be edible. The sauce destroyed the quality of the meat. The brisket itself was very tasty and smoked fork perfection. Which is the ONLY reason I did not return my entire plate and ask for my money back. I had the Macaroni and Cheese and Potato Salad as my sides. Macaroni was like most Macaroni on a hot plate was over cooked and mushy, but had a good taste. Potato Salad made with Mayo was average, had raw onions. The place is clean and they make sure to clean between customers. Staff was friendly. read more

Let me start by saying that I've been coming here since this place opened. Back in the day, Jim Goode, original place on Kirby was one of the best bbq places in town, and when they open out west in the early eighties it was wonderful. I can't count the times I've been here and have always enjoyed it. Lots of memories with friends and family. Too bad, those days are gone. I'm not going to go into all the things that were bad - let's just say everything. Jim Goode wouldn't have let this happen, and whoever is in charge of the organization he started should be ashamed. Very disappointing and I won't be back. read more

Fresh baked potato with sliced lean brisket. They weigh the meat prior to putting it on and I agree with one reviewer who said it should have more. The brisket was not as smoked as I would expect in a bbq joint. They did have a lot of customers so maybe cut the smoking time. I should have asked for more "bark" to have some additional smoke flavor. Anyways, I also got a $6 slice of pecan pie which I am saving for breakfast to eat with coffee. Might update on the taste/texture of the crust later. Goode was good enough and hit the spot. read more

Shocking lack of leadership last night at this usually good restaurant. Their cooker went down, and they ran out of meat, but they stayed open without at least posting a sign saying "no meat." Staff said they hoped to have the cooker repaired the next day, but took no pro-active steps to minimize customer inconvenience. To allow customers to come anyway was amazingly poor management. There seemed to be no one present with the wisdom to say, "Hey, we need to close, and let folks know we're sorry our cooker went down. We'll be back wit our great BBQ ASAP!" read more

All the negative reviews are from people who love waiting in line for an hour to spend $50 for 1/4 pound of brisket and 1 side at Truth BBQ. Highly recommend purchasing the jalapeño cheese bread loafs. My only critique is I wish they had an extra jalapeño option because they are kinda stingy with it. read more
