How Three Friends Built the #1 BBQ Joint in Texas
Goldee's started the way the best things do — with friends, fire, and stubbornness.
Jalen Heard, Lane Milne, and Jonny White grew up together. They cooked together. They ate together. And somewhere along the way, they decided nobody was doing brisket the way they wanted to eat it.
So they built their own place.
Goldee's Bar-B-Q runs on Central Texas-style BBQ tradition with a few twists the old guard never saw coming. Asian-inspired seasonings. Relentless attention to the cook. A refusal to serve anything that isn't exactly right. That's what makes us Fort Worth barbecue at its finest.
Texas Monthly called us the best in Texas. Michelin gave us a Bib Gourmand. We published a cookbook with UT Press. But the only review that matters is yours — after the first bite.
We open three days a week. We cook until it's gone. That's it.
