Hearty BBQ Meals to Warm You Up
Sure, you could grab some food at Wendy’s or McDonald’s. But we promise it won’t hit as hard in December as a hearty, smoked barbeque meal.
Here’s what you can enjoy at our pit stop BBQ:
Mesquite-Smoked Brisket
A mesquite-smoked brisket is what we call the King of Texan barbeque. Tender and oozing in flavor, we take USDA beef and slow-smoke it over mesquite wood for up to 15 hours! When combined with our hand-blended signature rubs, the result is an utterly mouth-watering, warm beef feast.
It’s a dream to consume with some of our original Goode Co. Barbeque sauce and fresh jalapeno cheese bread.
Sausage
For sausage fans, our choice of Czech (pork and beef blend) sausages or Jalapeno pork sausages will warm your cold and tired stomach after all that shopping. Using an original recipe taught to our family by a Czech immigrant to Weimar, Texas, in the 1970s, it’s a unique yet truly authentic Texas BBQ classic.
Turkey
For the white meat lovers and a seasonal favorite, our Turkey Breast is coated with a special glaze and slowly smoked over mesquite wood. It’s unbelievably tender and has that perfect blend of smoke and moisture. On a winter’s night, you can’t beat it (well, maybe you can with a brisket)!
Slow-Smoked BBQ Ribs
Ribs must be done the right way. And we know that, which is why we slowly smoke them until they fall right off the bone with one bite. We even hand-season them with Goode’s Signature Rubs for that truly Southern taste. This is no imitation. These are ribs, done the real way.
Christmas Pecan Pie
Tried and true. Homemade and handcrafted. Sit down and indulge in a dessert fit for those wonderful festive nights, with our Pecan Pie. This is no ordinary Pecan Pie, though. This is made using real Brazos River pecans, nestled in layers of luscious, flavorsome goo.
We’ve also got handmade pralines, chocolate cream pie, and chocolate chip cookies if the pie isn’t your thing.

Enjoy a Festive Atmosphere, with Texan Hospitality

We love Christmas and the holidays as much as anyone else, so our place will be decked out with decorations this holiday season! But, it’ll still retain that local, authentic Texan charm that makes Goode Co. Barbeque so special.
We’ve been serving up smoked meat since the 1970s, and our decor reflects that tradition. You’ll truly get an escape from the harsh lights of shopping malls, as you’re greeted with happy faces and service praised for making people feel relaxed.
We’re also family-friendly, so if you want to bring the kids along for a festive treat, then go for it! We have po-boys and sandwiches that kids tend to love, and are a great way to taste real Texan barbeque meat at a young age.
Why BBQ Is the Best Post-Shopping Fuel
Protein-Packed Meals Satisfy
After you’ve been walking for potentially hours with bags and intense Christmas crowds, your body is craving something more than a snack. It needs energy.
A pit stop BBQ offers all of that with a variety of lean, high-protein options such as turkey breast and heavier proteins like beef. These all repair muscles and keep you energized.
Shareable Plates for Families and Friends
If you’re like us and like to tackle holiday shopping lists with friends or family, then enjoying a pit stop BBQ menu is a super easy way to gather around the table. Our platters and dishes are stacked with ribs, turkey, brisket, and delicious sides like coleslaw, mac and cheese, loaded potatoes, and stuffed barbeque potatoes.
Stress-Free Dining
Finally, that meal after Christmas shopping is about making memories! Christmas only comes once a year, and the last thing you want is a stressful dining experience.
At Goode. Co Barbeque, we’re all about letting our guests enjoy a laid-back setting where you can unwind and dig in with your hands. Laugh, be loud, wear what you want, and eat easy food that we all love.
