Stuck for a Father’s Day grilling gift idea? With the day arriving soon (June 15th), we’ve made a list of all our must-have BBQ gift ideas for Dad, which every year go down a treat with grill-loving fathers!
At Goode Co. Shop, we’ve been smoking meats in Texas since the 1970s, and we know the difference between a premium product and a waste of time. Your Dad deserves the best, and we’re going to show you the best selections, just like Jim Goode (our founder) would want.
Are Father’s Day grilling gifts a good idea?
Ok, so why BBQ gifts?
The truth is, dads can be quite hard to buy for. They often want something practical that can be put to good use.
Father’s Day grilling gifts bring everyone together, as your Dad can enjoy serving up stunning meats for his friends and family to enjoy. Imagine the pride he’ll feel cracking open a fresh one with his buddies, while he’s standing over the grill like a boss.
Plus, the result is great food. We’re talking mesquite brisket that melts in your mouth, rubs that have a restaurant-quality sensation, and savory sauces.
Top BBQ gift ideas for Dad from Goode Company
Here’s a look at our best-selling Father’s Day grilling gifts:
1. The Pride of Sam Houston BBQ
This is the whole 9 yards. You’re looking at the ultimate BBQ gift bundle, which serves 18-20 people! Named after the first president of the Republic of Texas and bearer of our city's namesake, this pack pays tribute in a truly Texan way.
It includes:
- 1 Whole Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket (USDA beef)
- 2 Slabs of Slow Smoked Pork Ribs, hand-seasoned with signature rubs.
- 2 links of Jalapeño Pork Sausage
- 2 bottles of Goode’s Signature BBQ sauce
- 2 Loaves of Delicious Homemade Jalapeño Cheese Bread
- And, one authentically Texan Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie (cased in a pine gift box)
2. Goode’s Sausage Sampler
If our ultimate BBQ pack is a bit out of your budget, consider Goode's Sausage Sampler.
It features our very own sausage varieties, crafted from recipes passed down from our original sausage maker (a Czech immigrant who settled in Weimar, Texas).
This pack feeds 8-10 people and includes:
- 2 links of Czech Sausage (a mix of Pork and Beef, our original)
- 2 links of Jalapeño Pork Sausage
- 1 Bottle of Goode's Signature BBQ Sauce (24.5 oz.)
- And 1 Loaf of our Homemade Jalapeño Cheese Bread.
3. Signature Barbeque Sauce Trio
Your Dad might be happy with the meat he gets from the store, but we guarantee it won’t hit as hard as it does with our signature sauces. This is the Father’s Day grilling gift of variety! Each set contains three longneck bottles, full of our scratch-made, irresistible Texan sauces - Goode's Original Barbeque, Jalapeño Garlic, and Heavy Garlic.
4. Pure Texas Gift Box
Here’s something for any Texan patriot (that also loves pecan pies), our Pure Texas BBQ gift set. They’ll get an 8-inch version of our original organic Texan Pecan pie, a miniature Texan flag, and two bags of Honey Glazed and Roasted Salted Peanuts. All of that is enclosed within a fire-branded pine gift box that your Dad can keep for other uses, such as remembering how great your Father’s Day gift was.
5. Slow Smoked Ribs
Juicy. Meaty. Tender. And big (feeds 4-6 people). Our pork ribs have been hand-seasoned with Goode’s Signature Rubs and smoked until tender, meaning they’re ready to throw on the grill. If your Dad is a fan of ribs, we guarantee he’ll be throwing praise out while eating these.
Smaller Father’s Day gift ideas and BBQ add-ons
If you’re getting one of our Texas BBQ gift sets, we highly recommend pairing it with some other little goodies to make it extra special.
Beef Jerky
Why not throw in some Original Mesquite Beef Jerky snacks while you’re at it? Our snacks have been flavored for days over mesquite, using a blend that’s been decades in the making. These are great little treats your Dad can tuck into while on the move or on a lazy Sunday.
Texan Themed T-Shirts
If your Dad loves Texas as much as we do, he’ll love some of our stylish Texan t-shirts - 60% cotton.
We recommend the rodeo themed shirt, or our ‘Master of Mesquite’ design. He’ll be grilling with pride wearing that.
Spice Gift Box
While our meats admittedly will get consumed within the space of a couple of days, our BBQ spice gift box is a long-lasting offering. It’s something Dad can reach for when cooking in the kitchen or on the grill, year-round. He’ll get four larger bottles of Jim Goode’s special dry spice blends, including:
- Brisket Rub (13.6oz)
- Poultry Rub (11.4oz)
- Mesquite Mix (12.6oz)
- Rib Rub (12.2oz)
Last Minute Gift Cards
If you’re running out of time, you can always get a barbeque gift card for our online store or our restaurants. This also allows your Dad to buy what he wants, if you’re unsure about his preferences. We have restaurant locations across Houston, including barbeque, seafood, and Tex-Mex specialised venues.
Grilling Tools
Your Dad will be extra pleased with a new set of grilling utensils, such as BBQ mop, long tongs, brisket knife, or meat thermometer. You can get these from most stores, if you need them at the last minute!
