Great place for BBQ. Whenever I am in the area it is my go to. I really wish they would open one in the Coeur d’Alene / Post Falls area. It would do so well up there. I know I would be a regular customer.

Goodwood Barbecue Company is a small chain of four restaurants, equally divided between Utah and Idaho, which specilizes on barbecue, hence the name. While visiting my friend of 50+ years, Cindy, in the Boise, Idaho area, we decided to enjoy a dinner at the Meridian location of Goodwood, as we're fans of great barbecue. As you enter the restaurant, a sign will remind you that we're still dealing with COVID-19, and "social distancing" is in effect. The staff wear masks, but guest aren't required to. I've never figured out how to enjoy dinner while donning a face mask. The dining room is large, spacious, and the furniture is booths. The dining room is separated into three sections, divided by partitions, and if you're in the mood to watch news or sports, there are many active television monitors. Call me "old school," but I like barbecue cooked in a smokehouse, a pit in the ground, or one of those smokers that looks like a old-time steam locomotive. I will "guess" since it's 2020, state laws must regulate how barbecue is cooked, but to me, the essence of barbecue is lost when it's prepared in an industrial, stainless steel "smoker," inside the restaurant. My friend Cindy ordered the "Barbecue Chicken," dinner, from the "Barbecue Platters" section of the menu. The menu describes the chicken as, "A half chicken, slow-smoked to perfection - our unique smoking process renders a perfect pink color." So true! She ordered "Steak Fries," and "Fresh Seasonal Vegetables" as a side. My friend Cindy is a lover of steak fries just as much as I am! After we were finished, she took nearly half of her dinner home in a box to enjoy at a later date. From the "Homemade Salads and Soups" section of the dinner menu, Katie went with "Strawberry/Apple/Pecan/Spinach" salad, along with a "side" of a grilled chicken breast, as she's mostly "green" when it comes to eating. The menu describes the salad as, "Fresh spinach, fresh and candied nuts, with raspberry-walnut with vinaigrette dressing. Topped with bleu cheese crumbles." She loved her salad, and like her mom, she took much of it home in a box to enjoy at a later date. From the "Barbecue Platters" section of the dinner menu, on Cindy's recommendation, I went with the "Combination Platter," and ordered "Two Meats," as I couldn't enjoy a "third meat," thanks to the amazing breakfast I enjoyed earlier today at Coffee Mug Restaurant, located in Elko, NV. My sides of choice were "Steak Fries," along with "Potato Salad," I truly believe that I chose the best sides from the menu! As for the "two meats," which were the "star" of my dinner, after pondering the menu, I went with sausage and pulled pork. All the meat choices seemed amazing, but that is where I ended up, which seemed to put me in a great place. The sausage was juicy and tender, with just a hint of smoke, and almost... well... almost reminded me of Texas "hill country sausage," but then I had to look around and realize that I was dining in an upscale dining room. The pulled pork was tender, juicy, full of flavor, and topped with house-made, tangy barbecue sauce.. The barbecue was very good, almost "delicious," but lacked the "edge" that you get from a smokehouse, and I would simply describe the barbecue as "chain-restaurant-commercial" barbecue." Not a bad description! The meat was very good, but the sides were exceptional. The "Steak Fries" were thick cut, just the way I love them, and fried to a light, golden brown. As you bit into them, you'd note the outside was on the crunchy side, and the inside was juicy and tender. These steak fries are as good as steak fries can get, and will put a smile on the face of anybody who loves steak fries. "Mom's Potato Salad..." Goodwood Barbecue Company's "mom" has "bragging rights," as she knows how to make potato salad! When it comes to potato salad, I love it all, and "mom's" potato salad is excellent! It arrived COLD... the way potato salad should be served, and had the right combination of potato, mayonnaise, pickle, onion and whatever else makes a delicious potato salad. This potato salad was simply amazing! A cup of in-house-made barbecue sauce rounded out this great barbecue dinner. The barbecue served at Goodwood Barbecue Company is certainly delicious, but, like other "chain" barbecue restaurants, Goodwood produces "commercial" barbecue, and lacks the "down-home" atmosphere of a Texas, roadhouse barbecue restaurant. It's a "sit-down," "full service" restaurant, which, to me, takes away from the informal, "grass roots" essence of barbecue. I was less than impressed with the "industrial," non-personal service that Goodwood offers, as our server seemed in a hurry to "get the job done," with a minimum amount of personality.. The barbecue is very good... may I say delicious? ...but I imagine there are other barbecue restaurants more to my liking in the greater Boise area...
