What’s on the BBQ Lunch Menu at Goode Co. Barbeque?
Here are our favorite BBQ plates we serve straight from the grill and house-made sides:
Classic Texan Barbeque Meat
If you’re looking for something rewarding for your lunch break, we’ve got it in significant portions, with our authentic Brisket, sausages, chicken, and ribs:
Slow-Smoked Brisket
Our brisket is slow-smoked over mesquite wood for up to 16 hours, resulting in an incredibly tender and flavorful outcome. It’s an absolute must if you’re visiting from out of town and want that real Texan experience.
Handcrafted Sausages
If you’re more of a sausage fan, then you can’t go wrong with our Czech or Jalapeno sausages. Our handcrafted Czech ones use a traditional Czech recipe passed down from an immigrant who made Houston his home. If you’re after something more fiery, go for the Jalapeno pork spice variety.
Mesquite-Smoked Chicken and Turkey
For white meat lovers, we’ve got mesquite-smoked chicken and turkey breast that have a delicious golden exterior.
Tender Pork Ribs
Finally, our pork ribs are the real deal. Slow-smoked to fall straight off the bone at the first bite, you might go back to work with your mind blown.
Baked Potatoes
If you’re after something more lunch-friendly, you can go for a rich, stuffed barbeque potato (or a loaded one). Or, you could do what most of our customers do and have it as a side with one of our meat plates. That’s the best choice!
Lunch Friendly Sandwiches and Po-Boys
If you’re really short on time or your belly isn’t quite ready to stomach (pun intended) a huge meat dish around lunch, then consider our sandwiches and po-boys.
Fear not, you’ll still get an irresistible serving of our famous mesquite meats on our homemade buns or jalapeno cheese bread. Our barbeque po-boys are served on fresh French bread.
House-made Sides
Hey, don’t forget the sides! Feel free to select or share with your colleagues cole slaw, jalapeño pinto beans, jambalaya texana, potato salad, austin baked beans, macaroni & cheese, a bag of chips, or jalapeno cheese bread.
Freshly Brewed Iced Tea
Every day, we brew gallons of iced tea, ready to serve the employees of our local community in need of a hard-earned refreshment. Interested?
Quick-lunches with Dine-In, Takeout, or Delivery
Order Online
We know that lunch breaks are time-sensitive. That’s why we allow for easy online ordering for lunch on the go, or even delivery to your place of work! It’s easy.
Dine-In
But if you’d rather enjoy our Texan hospitality, then head on over and grab a picnic table or indoor seat. Our team will serve you fast, with our grill masters prepared to quickly take your meat of choice from the grill to the plate.
We also do private events, if you’re looking to celebrate or treat your team to a special outing.
Catering and Boxed Lunches
Our boxed lunches are an excellent solution for teams and events looking to enjoy delicious Goode food without all the other hassle. We prepare, pack, and deliver it. You get the idea.
Tips for an Efficient BBQ Lunch in Houston:
Only got an hour? Here’s how to make the most of your limited time:
- Check our menu online first so you can decide on your meat and sides. So, when you arrive, you can say you’re ready to order and get eating faster.
- Arrive before peak times. Naturally, any lunch restaurant gets busiest between 12:15 and 12:45. So, if you can arrive a bit before or after that, you’ll beat the crowds.
- Consider take-out. With us, you can order in advance to avoid the stress. We’ll have your lunch boxes ready for pickup at your designated time, so you can take them back to the office or eat them in a nearby location.
- Pair your meal with an iced tea. That Houston traffic-and-heat combo should be battled with a cold drink. It’s a lifesaver.
- Choose Goode Co. Barbeque. Having been in business since 1977, we’re finely tuned to what it takes to make lunch hour a success. Trust us and enjoy the break you deserve.
