It is said that barbecue isn’t just food; it’s a way of life. Nowhere does that ring more true than at Goode Co. For over 45 years, we’ve been serving the heart and soul of authentic Texas BBQ flavors to Houston.
Using locally sourced BBQ products, we’ve stayed true to the time-honored traditions that’ve made Texas barbecue famous around the world. Now, pitmasters and newbie BBQ enthusiasts alike can bring the down home flavors to their picnic tables with Goode Co.’s shop and our Texas-made BBQ ingredients.
So, if you’re fixin’ for a Texas backyard BBQ buffet, stick around. We’re sharing what makes this state’s grilling, smoking, and Texas cookin’ legendary.
Homegrown Texas Meats
The soul of any Texas BBQ is the meat; at Goode Co., we take that to heart. Sticking to the state’s BBQ motto of “low and slow,” we make sure every bite is tender, flavorful, and downright unforgettable. If you’re serious about barbecue, you should do the same.
Start with our top-quality, Texas-raised meats. Our smoked ribs, flavorful brisket, and sausages are perfectly seasoned, slow-cooked, and ready for you to heat and serve. Only the finest cuts of USDA beef will do, and you can bet every piece of meat we serve is as fresh as a Texas morning breeze.

Texas BBQ Essentials for the Pitmaster
Just like a saddle fits a horse, the sauces and rubs at a Texas backyard BBQ are a must. At Goode Co., our Texas-made sauces and rubs bring out the best in the meat, each playing its special part in the cooking process.
Let’s start with rubs: a true Texas BBQ essential, y’all. Our blends are some of the best BBQ spices in Texas. These spice blends work their magic by locking in flavor to form a savory crust and draw out the meat’s natural goodness. If you’re grilling, give our Mesquite Mix a try. For slow-smokin’, our Rib Rub - packed with Texas’s best BBQ spices, like sweet thyme, basil, ginger, and ancho chile - will do the trick.
Need to up your game for the holidays? Order our Goode Co. Four Spice Gift Box, which includes these rubs and two more, one perfect for poultry and the other tailor-made for brisket.
And when it comes to sauces, the best are known for complementing the meat, not overpowering it, like our Jalapeno Garlic or Goode’s Heavy Garlic BBQ sauces. They strike the perfect balance of spices, acidity, and sweetness to enhance the flavor of the meat and make it sing.
If you can’t choose just one - and we can’t blame you - our Goode Co.Three Sauce Gift Box gives you the chance to taste the best BBQ sauces Texas has to offer.
BBQ Fixins’ You Just Gotta Have
No Texas backyard BBQ menu is complete without the good ol’ ‘fixins.’ We’re talking about the sides that make the barbecue shine, like slaw, beans, bread, and potato salad. These Texas BBQ sides and fixins are more than just the extras, they offer a variety of textures, flavors, and colors to please any guests.
BBQ and Grilling Gear
From your grill brush and meat thermometer to a basting brush and tongs, the tools and accessories of any good Texas-style BBQ make grilling and smoking not just easier but a whole lot more fun. Picture this: wranglin’ a brisket without a proper set of tongs or trying to tell if your ribs are ready without a meat thermometer.
Each piece of gear has a job, from must-haves like spatulas and basting brushes to smoker boxes and rib racks. These accessories aren’t just nice-to-haves. They separate your average backyard griller from a true Texas pitmaster.
Sweet Extras That Holler Texas
Your backyard Texas BBQ menu can’t go wrong with a Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie for dessert.
This isn’t just any pecan pie! We still use our grandmother’s - Emma “Nanny” Longoria Goode - recipe to bake the same blissful batter from scratch each morning. Packed full of fresh, all-natural mammoth Texas pecans, harvested right from the banks of the Brazos River, this pie’s homemade goodness will have you and your guests coming back for seconds, thirds, and more!
In Texas, desserts aren’t just an afterthought-they’re the sweet finale to a rich BBQ feast. From a Texas chocolate sheet cake (which you can order at Goode Co. Seafood locations or Armadillo Palace) to a creamy banana pudding (pick this up at any Goode Co. Barbeque location or Goode Co. Fish Camp!), you’re reminded of why dessert matters with each sweet bite.
But that authentic Brazos Bottom Texas pecan pie? It takes a meal to a whole new level. No shortcuts, no rushing - just authentic Texan perfection delivered safe and sound in a custom Goode Co. branded box, ready to bring a little slice of Texas to you.
