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.

Don't Take Our Word for It

Worth every minute in line. The brisket at Goldee's is the best I've ever had — and I've eaten barbecue in every corner of this state.

— Fort Worth Local

We drove two hours and showed up an hour early. Sold out by 1:30. But that first bite of brisket? Worth the trip. Worth the wait. We're already planning our next visit.

— Dallas Visitor

The sausage is unreal. The ribs are perfect. And the sauce? I bought three bottles to take home. Goldee's is the real deal.

— Austin BBQ Fan

I've been to every big-name BBQ spot in Texas. Goldee's is the one I keep coming back to. Three friends who actually care about what they serve.

Tips for First-Timers

Get there early. The line forms well before 11am, especially on Saturdays. Arrive by 10:00 or earlier for the full spread.
We sell out. When the meat's gone, the meat's gone. Showing up at 2:30 is a gamble.
Cash and card accepted. No need to hit the ATM first.
Come hungry. Plates are generous. Bring your appetite and a friend or two.
It's worth the drive. We're a little outside downtown. You'll know you're close when you smell the smoke.

Life's too short for bad BBQ
