46. GOODWOOD BARBECUE CO., Boise & Meridian, ID

Okay, so we know that this amazing restaurant isn't only in the treasure valley, but it sure is a treasure that began right here in the treasure valley, so it counts.


Goodwood started in 1999 when two "lifetime friends" wanted to bring the casual dining experience back to the past of owner-operated restaurants.  You know, back when you knew where your food was coming from and you could actually meet the owner because they are actually in the restaurant.

So they have some focuses in order to make their guest's dining experience the best ever.  The first is their fresh food made daily from scratch in a closed-pit cooking style.  We're not a hundred percent sure what that entails, but we are sure that it is 100% delicious.  There isn't anything on the menu that we have tried that has not been excellent.

The good people at Goodwood also want to make sure that we, the guests, are treated so good we want to come back.  They have their team focus on being genuine and caring for those they serve.  And they have succeeded.  There has never been a time when we have gone that the staff has been rude or put off by our requests.  Another of their goals is to have their menu feature many different varieties and be a great value.  There is definitely something for everyone there and it is affordable, especially for the amount of food you get and the friendly atmosphere.

Featured in the pictures is the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Smashed Potatoes, Chicken Fried Chicken, and onion rings.  Also delicious for sure are the Oven Roasted Turkey, Mom's Potato Salad, coleslaw, Burnt Ends Brisket, the ribs, any of the salads, the salmon...pretty much anything.  It is sooo good, you have to try it.

So there are two locations here in the Treasure Valley, one in Boise across from the Edwards Cinema on Cole and Overland and one in Meridian on Fairview and Eagle, oh and there are also a couple in Utah.
