The story
Just south of Fort Worth, in the small community of Kennedale, Goldee’s Bar-B•Q has earned a devoted following for its straightforward, high-quality Texas BBQ. The restaurant operates out of a modest roadside location at 4645 Dick Price Road, where the focus remains squarely on the pit.
Goldee’s is the project of a team that includes Jalen Heard, Lane Milne, and Jonny White, who together bring a meticulous approach to classic American BBQ. The menu centers on smoked meats—brisket and ribs are staples—alongside house-made sauces and rubs that customers can also purchase online. The Goldee’s BBQ Sauce and Goldee’s All Purpose Rub are available for shipping, as is a dedicated Brisket Rub, reflecting the pitmasters’ belief in seasoning from the inside out.
The restaurant’s reputation extends beyond the local area. Goldee’s Bar-B•Q has been recognized with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award that highlights good quality, good value cooking. This nod from the guide places Goldee’s among a select group of BBQ joints where the craft of low-and-slow smoking meets everyday affordability.
For those looking to go deeper, the team offers a brisket class and a five-day class, sharing the techniques that have made their BBQ stand out. A cookbook, co-authored by Heard, Milne, and White with contributions from Lisa Fain and photography by Will Milne, is also available. Whether you’re eating at the counter or learning to smoke at home, Goldee’s represents a modern standard for Texas BBQ in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
