Some of the best BBQ in Texas – and quite possibly the entire South – is hiding in an unassuming wooden shack in Fort Worth. Goldee’s Barbecue has been making waves recently, and for good reason. This no-frills joint serves up mouthwatering, slow-smoked meats and scrumptious sides. It doesn’t get much better!
Named the #1 BBQ joint in the state by Texas Monthly in 2021, Goldee’s Barbecue is a classic example of not judging a book by its cover.
Google/Drew Tribbey This unassuming wooden shack is hiding the most mouthwatering smoked meats you’ve ever tried, and you’ll want to visit as soon as possible.
The no-frills atmosphere isn’t limited to the exterior of the restaurant - inside, things are just as simple. Not a single piece of décor can be found, either on the barren walls or anywhere else in the dining room.
Google/Dee Stafford Equally minimalist is the menu, which features just a handful of items. If you’re sensing a theme here, you aren’t wrong. The very best restaurants don’t need to rely on fancy surroundings or a mile-long menu to attract customers. Legendary eateries like Goldee’s let the quality of their food speak for itself - no fanfare required.
Here’s where all the magic happens: the pit.
Google/James Phan The meat is slow-smoked for hours, a process which allows the natural juices to release all their subtle flavors. It’ll be love at first bite, guaranteed.
Whether you’re in the mood for hand-chopped brisket or a giant rack of ribs, you really can’t go wrong.

The brisket, pork ribs, and turkey are sold by the half-pound, and the sausages come individually. We recommend trying a little bit of everything - including the scrumptious sides such as jalapeno cheese grits, potato salad, and pork hash.
Google/Clark Griswold Prefer your BBQ between buns? Both chopped brisket and turkey sandwiches are available for $10 each. Oh, and don’t skip dessert - the banana and bread puddings are equally decadent.
Address: 4645 Dick Price Rd, Fort Worth, TX, 76140.
Google Maps Hours are 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. (or sellout, whichever comes first) Friday-Sunday.
