Drumroll please. We hope you're hungry for this big news. Fort Worth received its first MICHELIN Star this week. The recipient? Goldee's Bar-B-Q.

Goldee's first opened six years ago by a group of friends and quickly climbed its way to one of the top barbecue spots in the eyes of Texas Monthly + the James Beard Foundation. Goldee's has repeatedly been featured for its scratch-made meats, sides, pickles + bread. In 2024, it received a Bib Gourmand Award for offering a high-quality meal at a reasonable price.

Ready to go? Editor Elizabeth here. Yesterday, I arrived at the end of the line at noon sharp and swiped my credit card at exactly 12:37 p.m. My advice? Arrive early on Thursday or Friday. Most meats, except for the chopped brisket and sausage, sold out by ~1:40 p.m. I got 1/4-rack lamb ribs, 1/4-rack pork ribs, 1/4-lb sliced brisket, 1/4-lb pork belly, coleslaw, pork beans, and the mac-and-cheese for a total of $58.99.

The popular barbecue spot recently expanded its hours of operation (11 a.m.-3 p.m. or sellout, Thursdays-Sundays) and introduced online ordering. Waiting in line? If you're lucky, the team often lends lawn chairs and beverages to customers, but you're welcome to BYOB.
