Monk: Goldee’s Barbecue skyrocketed to the top of every barbecue pilgrim’s list when it was named Texas Monthly’s Top Barbecue Joint in 2021. In the below video, Eater’s Smoke Point series follows the prep routine over a Thursday and Friday of the three friends who are owners and pitmasters at Goldee’s, Jalen Heard, Johnny White, and Lane Milne, as well as their newest venture Ribee’s.

Of note for me was the fact that they bake all of the bread they serve, whether its the sliced bread or the rolls for the sandwiches. That kind of attention to detail is why they earned the coveted top spot from Texas Monthly.

Description: Customers line up as early as 6 a.m. to get Goldee’s award-winning barbecue. Since winning the No. 1 spot of the “Texas Monthly” list of best barbecue joints, the Fort Worth restaurant increased its output from 12 to 150 briskets per week to feed crowds of customers who visit from across the country. At the counter, you’ll find the classics, including brisket, ribs, turkey, and sausage that can be ordered with hot honey, sweet, or with their signature sauce.
