Goldee's Barbecue

South Fort Worth, Dallas · BBQ · $$

Goldee's sits on a two-lane road south of Fort Worth, and when Texas Monthly declared it the best barbecue in the state, the line started wrapping the parking lot before sunrise. Five friends from the competition BBQ circuit opened this place with zero fanfare and maximum obsession - every element of the post-oak smoke, the fat render, and the bark has been tuned to something close to perfection. A Michelin Bib Gourmand later confirmed what the regulars already knew.
