How much we spent at the #1 BBQ joint in Texas! - Goldee's BBQ
Come along as we make our way down to Texas to try what Texas Monthly Magazine has rated as the number one BBQ joint in Texas! This place isn't too impressive on the outside, but just like in life, it's what's on the inside that counts and the BBQ inside this place will change your life!

They were out by the time we made it inside and that was with us getting there 2 hrs early. It was summer though, so more people. Cheers!
Them ribs are the best here in Texas that’s for sure. I don’t like sauce most of the time but I love Goldlees tangy BBQ sauce. Thank God they’re only 20min from my house. Glad y’all loved it, those guys got something special going on over there.

There are SO many good BBQ places in Texas.... Buzzie's in Kerrville, Black's in Lockhart (they ship stuff very well), and many in other small towns. The tourist places (County Line, Salt Lick) were never my favorites when I lived in Texas- there's something about the smaller towns that I preferred.
@letsdomoregood
7 ай бұрын
Agree wholeheartedly! Something about the small town feel in Texas. World class BBQ all over the place. You’re hard pressed to find one BBQ place in many other states that stacks up with what almost any small town in Texas is throwing out. I like all the different flavors of smoked sausages as well. Good stuff! Never made it down to Kerrville, but I want to at some point. Really enjoyed Fredericksburg and their peaches though. A little touristy, but a neat little town and the peaches were good. I’ll have to add Buzzie’s to my list!
St. Louis, for sure, and I live in North Texas!

Yes, it is common to get lots of bread with your order, many people use the scraps of meat that fall off, or just want to make a little sandwich with their plates of meat. Plain white bread, not garlic. Most places usually don't make their own bread though, so that is not common. From a lifelong Texan👍

Yeah, Texas is the top of the heap when it comes to brisket, that’s for sure! The number one in Texas rating comes from Texas Monthly magazine. They rate the top 50 bbq joints in Texas every 4 years and in their most recent ranking, they have Goldees as number one. They had Franklins as number one for 8 years which is what really put them on the map, so it’s a thing. As you say, it really does depend on the individual, but if you like Texas BBQ, you’ll love this place. That being said, don’t wait 3 hrs in line for it. Lol. Appreciate the comment!

Honestly, not really. I like Fox Bros but in Texas it would be run of the mill BBQ. They would score points for things like their fried pork ribs, but their brisket wouldn’t stand up to you local average BBQ place. It’s like brisket is something they serve, but in Texas brisket is who they (local BBQ joints) are, if that makes sense. The level of focus, the detail, the wood, the passion, the shared knowledge in the local BBQ community and the years of experience of all the folks in the restaurant, just puts Texas on another level. Great question!

I would put Franklins and La Barbecue in Austin ahead for sure and by a lot. I’d probably also put Snows in Lexington ahead. Franklins and La Barbecue Are the 2 best all around. La Barbecues pork ribs are OFF THE CHAIN. The best sausage in Texas is at Southside Market in Elgin hands down. Franklins barely nudges out La Barbecue for best brisket. It’s funny cause I had just been to Austin 2 weeks ago and brought back 6 lbs or so of La Barbecue, pork ribs and brisket for 2 friends. They then went last week and brought me Goldees. We ALL AGREED Goldees is nowhere close to La Barbecue. I also have it on good authority that Burnt Bean Company in Seguin is towards the top of the list. @@letsdomoregood
Being a 50 yr vet in the Texas bbq game,i can say that Goldees is not close to the best bbq. Brisket and pork belly are solid, but ribs sausage turkey all average to slightly below. You would probably lose your minds in the greater Austin area alone there are 5 places off the top of my head much better than Goldees.. Whatever that pudding is its not banana. This place is just media hyped tbh..
