Goode Company BBQ - Houston, Texas

Miranda Bassagi

If you’re looking for a truly Texan experience with all the hearty, well-seasoned goodness you could ask for, this is the place to go. I’ve been a regular at Lazy Dog just across the street—let’s face it, we’re all creatures of habit—but I decided to shake things up and give this spot a try. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised! It felt like stumbling upon a hidden treasure, the kind that makes you wonder, “Why didn’t I know about this sooner?”

Let’s talk about the food, because that’s why we’re here, right? The baked potatoes were out of this world—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Seriously, these potatoes aren’t just a side dish; they’re a star all on their own. And the brisket? Well, it was tender, juicy, and had that smoky flavor that only real Texas BBQ can deliver. You know that moment when you take a bite, pause, and just have to let out a satisfied “mmm”? Yeah, that was me, probably embarrassing myself, but who cares when the food is this good?

Now, let’s not skip the dessert. Normally, I’m one of those people who “just looks” at the dessert menu, fully intending to resist. But here? Resistance was futile. The desserts were practically waving at me from the checkout area, already beautifully prepared and ready to go. It was like they knew I didn’t stand a chance. And honestly, I’m not even mad about it.

Oh, and if you need a last-minute gift—or just want to treat yourself—this place has you covered with their cute little gift section. I almost left with a bag of goodies I didn’t plan to buy, but who can resist a little retail therapy after a great meal?

Last but definitely not least, the staff was incredibly sweet. It felt like being welcomed into a friend’s home where they’re genuinely happy to see you and make sure you leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face. Friendly, attentive, and just all-around delightful, they really added to the experience.

So, if you find yourself near this spot, do yourself a favor and check it out. You might be coming for the baked potatoes, but you’ll leave with a new favorite spot—and probably a little extra dessert in hand. Cheers ?

After being closed for two years, and then open on the weekends, this eatery is now open full-time.
Perfect place from big parties/groups. Plenty of space to eat outside or inside.
Macaroni is where it’s at. I would get any protein and mix it in with their Mac.
Macaroni is the perfect consistency of cheesiness and the pasta is not mushy. Everything is seasoned well.
Staff is friendly.

I’ve been to a lot of barbecue places in my life and I can easily say this was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly done, I had the opportunity to try a lot and there was not a single thing I got that was poorly done or not amazing. The food was super tender and flavorful, the barbecue sauce was the best I’ve ever had and overall this place deserves more stars than I can rate it. The service was incredible with a sweet lady constantly checking on us and making sure we enjoyed everything. The chicken was my favorite, it was extremely tender and the pecan pie was by far the best I’ve ever had.

Thank you Goode Company!

This place definitely has an interesting look. If you don't want to see animal heads mounted to the wall, this restaurant isn't for you. The staff were friendly, the lobby was clean and there were plenty of places to sit. The food was good. I had the beef potato. They didn't put any toppings other than the meat, I had to ask for the cheese and sauce so it wasn't melted like I wanted it to be. The sauce has a different taste than any bbq sauce I've had. It was good but not my favorite. The portion size for my potato was good but the size for the 3 meat plate was just ok. The patio is kid friendly (and according to the sign dog friendly).

This was my first time visiting. The staff was very friendly and made good recommendations. I had the three-meat combo. The turkey was moist, as was the brisket. The ribs pulled clean from the bone along with having a good chew. They weren't too soggy, so I think they were perfect on texture, especially. The Czech sausage has a good coarseness and flavor. The sides were tasty. I loved the pecan pie. It wasn't too sweet and allowed the pecans to be tasted.

This is the first time coming to Goode Company BBQ. The atmosphere is ok, although it feels too crowded with all the taxidermy on the walls. The service is good. They come to your table to offer more drinks and pick up your tray after you're done eating. The food is ok, but they could do better. We ordered the 3 meat dinner plate each. Brisket, Chicken, Sausage, and Ribs. Of all the meats, I recommend the Ribs. The Brisket is dry and cold. The Chicken is bland, has no flavor. The Sausage is plain as well. The only meat which tastes good is the Ribs. They're seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The dinner also comes with 2 sides and a slice of bread. We each got macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and sweet beans. Out of all the sides, the macaroni and cheese was the best. The bread that comes with your dinner plate is cold and you only get 1 slice. All condiments like jalapeños, pickles, and onions are located on a self serve area. The saddest part of the whole experience is the sauce. It does not taste like bbq sauce at all. It tasted like marinara sauce and its really watery. We got 2 desserts just to try. A Pecan Pie and a Chocolate Pie. The Pecan Pie was the winner. Don't get the chocolate pie. It's not good. I asked to exchange it for a slice of the Pecan Pie and they did. Thanks! If you're going to come by, I recommend the Ribs and the Pecan Pie out of all the menu. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Brisket was decent. Jalapeño sausage was disappointing. The bbq sauce tasted like watered down tomato sauce.

The staff were inattentive and didn’t seem like they wanted to be there.

The decorations are charming but overdone.

Don’t recommend. Especially do not recommend the bbq sauce.
