Stetson, check; cowboy boots, check; jeans, check; Lonestar & BBQ Tee, check — you’re geared up for the rodeo. But not just any rodeo, 2025’s Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. There’s just one thing missing: BBQ. Food at the Houston Rodeo is legendary, and with over 300 vendors selling everything from spicy snacks to corndogs, there is an unmatched variety of flavors.
But nothing beats the taste of a BBQ sandwich piled high with freshly sliced brisket on an onion bun, paired with a side of jambalaya Texana from the Goode Co. Barbeque booth that turns an otherwise outstanding plate of Texas BBQ into an authentic Western experience.
So, whether it’s your first time at the rodeo or your 27th, stop by and savor world-class Houston BBQ at the event, or order online and bring the rodeo spirit home.
Must-Try BBQ at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
Since its inception in 1931, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has been the largest of its kind in the world. Last year’s event, which lasted 23 days, saw a record attendance of 2.3 million visitors, and this year is expected to be even bigger.
When you’re ready to refuel, stop by the Goode Co. booth in Rodeo Plaza, right in front of the NRG Center, where we’ll have a mouthwatering selection of BBQ food at the Houston rodeo. Our BBQ dinners allow you to choose from sliced brisket, smoked turkey, smoked Czech sausage or chicken breast paired with one or two sides, including potato chips, jambalaya Texana, potato salad, or jalapeno pinto beans.
Craving something cheesy? Try our chili con queso topped with your choice of meat; it’s a rodeo Houston food favorite.
Or, if you’re feeling more like a baked potato, try our pitmaster baked potato with chopped smoked BBQ, sour cream, cheddar bacon, green onions, and original Goode Co. BBQ sauce.
And don’t forget dessert! Treat yourself to a slice of a legendary Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie, a chocolate chip cookie, or one of our original pralines.
Sweet & Savory BBQ Pairings
We can confidently claim to have the best food at the Houston rodeo. As a proud Houston rodeo food vendor in 2025, we offer an array of mouthwatering options. However, if you ask us what we would pair with half a pound of our smoked turkey, our answers are extensive and varied.
From spicy pickle roll-ups to a slice of hot honey pizza or bacon jam cheesy pickle fries, there’s much to enjoy alongside our Goode Co. BBQ. If you’re craving something even more adventurous, why not try some nachos, smokin’ tater bombs on a stick, or bacon-wrapped boudin?
What would you like to drink? There’s a Coke-a-latte fizz, dragon fruit lemonade, or pickle juice lemonade. And for dessert, how about trying a slice of caramel crunch cheesecake, a caramel apple bacon cinnamon roll, or some cotton candy bacon on a stick?
