Goldee's Barbecue
Goldee's Bar-B•Q
Fort Worth's first Michelin-starred restaurant, ranked third on Texas Monthly's 2025 Texas barbecue list, where the brisket is worth hours in line.
A Texas barbecue joint run by a young team. It topped Texas Monthly's list of the 50 best barbecue joints in Texas in 2021, ranked third in 2025, and earned one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide Texas, becoming Fort Worth's first starred restaurant. The signature black Angus brisket is slow-smoked over local post oak. The turkey breast is juicy, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage is stuffed with melted Tillamook cheddar. Sides include old-fashioned potato salad and brisket baked beans, and the banana pudding is a must-order. It is open only a few days a week, 11:00-15:00 each day, and people often line up three hours before opening. It sells out, so arrive early. Located southeast of the city center near Kennedale. A car is required. About $25-40 per person.
