"The iconic family-owned Houston food empire Goode owns a barbecue joint, a taqueria, a seafood restaurant, and a Tex-Mex restaurant, so it only makes sense that it would own a live music venue. Armadillo Palace is decked out with two bars, three stages, and a kitchen, meaning you can listen to music and score great Texas fare, including buttery biscuits, redfish tacos, spit-roasted chicken, and its signature Damn Goode burger. The bars have something for everyone. There’s beer, wine, and sips like the Feisty Sandia, a combination of gin, Ancho Reyes Verde, watermelon, and sparkling wine. Pair any of that with some live music by checking out its lineup. Be on the lookout for free shows. Goode’s Armadillo Palace will host a free Ergos Garcia concert on Saturday, April 12." - Brittany Britto Garley
"If a dusty old honky tonk underwent an extreme home makeover, we imagine it would look something like Armadillo Palace. The massive venue near Rice Village has indoor and outdoor stages for two-stepping and country singing sidled up next to a full-on restaurant from the folks behind Goode Company Seafood. Load up on bright yellow queso or spicy green chile empanadas before working up a sweat trying to keep up with your dance partner." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"A place where Southern cuisine and Tex Mex convene, Armadillo Palace is a celebration of the Lone Star State with spacious seating throughout and cafeteria-style dining that makes dining with a group a breeze. Order a “Damn Goode” Margarita alongside your carne asada served with homemade tortillas, or if Southern fare is what you’re after, go for the pork chop served with tomato-bacon jam and a peach cobbler cocktail. Online reservations can be made for up to 10 people, but the space can accommodate up to 175 people seated if you’re rolling deep. Call the restaurant for more private dining options, and don’t forget to have a slice of the beloved Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie." - Marcy de Luna

"At the Armadillo Palace location of the classic Goode Company chain, you’ll find a limited-time cocktail called the All Night Revival, which features Milam & Greene Bourbon, lemon, strawberry, ginger, and amaro." - Kayla Stewart
