History        

Dear Friends,

Back in 1977, we opened a little BBQ place near downtown Houston. With no restaurant experience, and very little money, we began to transform this forty seat cafe into what we had dreamed. By our way of thinking, what Texas BBQ ought to be. From the beginning we promised ourselves to serve-up nothing but the best. The quality had to be right. We went the extra mile, baking our own breads and pies, making and smoking our own sausage, and perfecting our sauces and spices. Well, folks seemed to like what we did, so we applied that same philosophy to Mexican food and Gulf Coast seafood. After twenty years, our business has grown to four restaurants. The promise to serve-up nothing but the best remains the same.

We wanted to continue in the Goode Co. tradition but we wanted to do something different. We visualized a retail-direct mail business, that would pay tribute to the cultures and cuisines that are the embodiment of Texas. We called it Goode Co. BBQ Hall of Flame. Located right across the road from our original restaurant, it's wall to ceiling with plenty of cookin' tools, fresh meats, great gift ideas, and even classic western wear. Whether you're looking for Goode Company's famous Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie, our signature sauces and marinades, or Russell Harrington knives like we use in our kitchens, you'll probably stumble across something else that reminds you of the great Texas heritage that we share.

Just like the restaurants, the Hall of Flame is constantly evolving. We've added more items to our catalog this year. We sure hope you like it!
