(From June 2008) Menu surprise: Extremely hot hot links. Seriously.
There’s always a line at this clapboard take-out shack. Plump, pink pork ribs, cooked over post oak in a steel pit for two and a half hours, were irresistible. Smoky brisket was fall-apart tender. Commercially made beef-and-pork links tasted decidedly uncommercial. The sauce was tangy, good for dipping ribs and links. The sole sides were mustardy potato salad and saucy beans, both made with care. |

(From October 2009) Decked out like an old saloon and dance hall, Goode’s Katy Freeway location is smokin’, and we could smell it from the freeway. For value, don’t miss the overloaded sandwiches on either big warm buns or jalapeño cheese bread, piled with brisket, sausage, turkey, ham, or a combination thereof. Barbecue dinners (with additional options of duck, ribs, and chicken) include typical sides: coleslaw, baked beans, pinto beans, jambalaya rice, and potato salad, all respectable. The cinnamon-chocolate milkshake and pecan pie are crazy good. Beer. |

(From June 2008) Notable decor: Walls sanctified with religious iconography.
Three-plus years ago, Adrian Hands-borough converted the neighborhood convenience store his mom, Virgie, ran for 35 years and began cooking over oak and pecan in two small barrels. His brisket, only a tad fatty, smokes for ten to fourteen hours; we could cut ours with a plastic fork. Well-seasoned pork ribs boasted a generous meat-fat ratio, and beef sausage came on slow but strong. The thick, snappy sauce is sweetened with molasses. Host and dining room were both cheery and inviting. |
