Goode Co. isn't exactly a little-known name in the Houston food world. Driving south on Kirby from the city center, you pass Goode Co. Seafood and Good Co. Tacqueria, and there is another branch of Goode Co. Bar-B-Q on Katy Freeway. The place on Kirby is a large eating barn (with a nice covered outdoor patio) surrounded by stacks of wood and the perfume of smoldering mesquite. Inside, there's always a line leading to the cafeteria-style counter; but the line moves fast, because nearly everyone knows exactly what they want when they come here. Once you've eaten to Goode Co. barbecue, chances are good you will return for more.
