Ribs were pretty good, could have been a little more fall off the bone goodness. The rice was a pleasant surprise because it had green pepper in it. Really good service!

We used to love Goodwood, but recently they have cut WAY back on their portion sizes. You used to be able to get 1/2 BBQ roast chicken but now it has been replaced by a very small portion of smoked chicken thighs. The same goes for their brisket. Who knows about other meats. We will no longer go to them... Sad!

I came here with a gift card, and didn't have the highest of expectations, and in the end, I'm glad I didn't expect much. Even with minimal expectations - they failed to meet that. Service was extraordinarily slow for a week night, sides tasted bland- almost like food served in a hospital (which was really bad considering it was the "premium" option). The smoked turkey my husband had didn't even have as much smoke flavor as the smoked turkey in a deli package. My burnt ends might have been the best entree, but it still tasted more like liquid smoke and bbq sauce than actual slow smoked bbq. If you find yourself here- get the onion rings. Those were great. Everything else was downhill.

Good food, but very saucy if you have a hard time with sauce. They fixed the Gordon Ramsay sound effect door though...

Goodwood has the best American food in my opinion. After 5 years it's still my go-to place. They also have the best coke zero.

The owners are from Texas and Texans pride themselves on good BBQ but I think the brisket got lost in transition. A brisket traditionally has a smoke ring and is so tender you can cut it with a fork and juicy plus has a distinct smokey taste. Good woods brisket has none of these. I beg you to get back to your roots, you're better than this.

Fake barbeque. That truly is all that needs to be said.You can taste the liquid smoke in their chicken wings.The chicken I ordered for my dogs needed to be cut with a knife. True barbecue separates from the bone and by itself, no utensil is needed. It was very dry and needed a knife to cut into portions. I tasted it. It was just as dry and tasteless.This is nothing to state that it took me more than 20 minutes and using two different cell phones to place a simple order.I would not return to this place if it was my weekly cheat meal, and I wanted some really authentic barbecue.This place is clearly lacking in integrity, and embraces google technology, and not human beings. Like most of the local hive, it does not believe in being honest in its dealings with humans.Its food is clearly not authentic barbecue. It clearly uses liquid smoke, and its food does not tear apart at the slightest tug. It needs a knife to separate.Their pulled pork whether it is served on a sandwich or in a meal is wrapped in plastic. When you undo the plastic, I cannot help but be reminded of the many piles of dog poop that I have picked up with comparable plastic bags. I understand why the local hive would not understand this dog poop reference. As a general rule, the local hive does not clean up after its dogs.I have never tasted the many piles of dog poop that I have picked up. But I can only imagine their pulled pork differs only in the fact that it has a vinegary taste. Otherwise, it looks like and smells like it is dog poop wrapped in plastic.Their coleslaw is dry and tasteless. Their french fries lack seasoning, are dry, oily, and need some tomato sauce to be consumed. Their food in general is only a benefit to dogs that have less than discernible taste buds.The staff is just another story but similar to their food. The staff is unkind, uncaring, very much like the hive that is Meridian, Idaho. Some day the hive may get tired of being ugly, dishonest, and weak in its ego. Maybe someday this location will recognize it is better to be honest with people and their products. This place should be known as the McDs of bbq.$50 dollars wasted on dog food. I can feed my dogs for less than $10 per day let alone $50 per meal. This was very expensive dog food and dog poop.Parking: Very limited parking. Much of which is reserved for the Covid generation.
