After wrestling with the giant pits of traditional Texas BBQ, finding Good Union Urban BBQ was a refreshing change of pace. If you’re looking for that perfect intersection of “urban cool” and “authentic smoke,” this is your spot.
First and foremost, the staff here are phenomenal. In a world where counter-service can sometimes feel like a transaction, the team at Good Union actually makes you feel like you’ve been invited to a backyard party. They’re fast, high-energy, and genuinely helpful—which is exactly what you want when you’re staring at a menu full of choices.
And the food? It absolutely lives up to the name. The brisket is tender with a beautiful bark, and if you’re a fan of a good “stack,” their sandwiches are structural masterpieces. Everything tastes fresh, from the smoky meats to the sides that actually have some personality (the cornbread is a must).
It’s got a great, open atmosphere—high ceilings, plenty of TVs, and a killer patio for when the Texas weather is behaving. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a quick business lunch as it does for a long, lingering happy hour with friends.
Whether you’re a BBQ purist or just looking for a great meal in a vibrant neighborhood, Good Union is a top-tier stop in the Richardson area. Great food, even better people.

This is our first time at Good Union, but it won’t be our last, for sure! The food was spectacular. I got the Pig Mountain Sandwich (5 Stars in my book), and my wife ordered the Lady Bird Salad. She loved the taste of the chicken, as well as the combination of mango and cheese.
The owner took our order, and he said we were going to love it; he was right. We were there during the Texas/OU game, so the ambiance was great! We’re definitely coming back.

I love the ambiance at Good Union! It’s very laid-back and a great view of a beautiful courtyard that’s now decorated for the holidays. The service is always good and staff is friendly. We dined here yesterday evening for Happy Hour. The drinks were on point and bartender was cool. We ordered the brisket street tacos and brisket sliders with potato salad and fried okra. The food is ok, and the prices were very reasonable. On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best, 1 the worst, I’ll give the food a 3.5. We will return in the future but will try something different on the menu. Sorry, no pics.

I had the sliced Prime Brisket Sandwich with skinny fries. The brisket was perfect and inhaled my sandwich. The fries were so good I could make a meal out of just them! I’m looking forward to coming back and trying something another meat… and more skinny fries!

First time trying this place today, did a pick up order for some brisket burnt ends (my husband’s Valentine’s Day present lol) the meat was fantastic! good sized burnt ends and reasonably priced at about $30 for a pound. Cornbread was also AMAZING! It was moist and thick and had a good flavor. Can’t stand dry cornbread so this was win all around! Will definitely be back to try more things.

I absolutely love this place. Its in cityline(Richardson) a nice new development. They have amazing people and amazing food from the burgers to the Cornbread and real butter melted on top…If you haven’t been here you are missing out on a Texas Treasure. They have plenty of seating, a bar and plenty of TV screens to watch your favorite sports. I highly recommend this place hands down one of my favorites and its not even close…
PS they also offer military discount.

For sure a one and done for me. Started off bad as employees acting as if I was a bother. Little to no customer service. Food moderate at best. Went on a Monday with 4 others. Had expected much more based on area and some of reviews. Guess I went on off night but not willing to find out. Fried okra was cold, fries cold and limp, burger was just ok.

I was looking for a tasty BBQ lunch, and a few places popped up on my search. But, I sure am glad I decided to swing by Good Union!
Excellent staff that was able to guide me through my selection. A clean atmosphere, open space both inside and out, great views, and fantastic drink selection.
Definitely give this place a shot. You won’t be disappointed !

Stopped by for a quick bite before a meeting and ended up with a stomach ache. I had the brisket nachos and withing 2 hours started to get some crazy heartburn. Later on during dinner I could hardly eat because of the stomach ache. At the time the nachos didn’t taste bad but the aftermath said otherwise. I hope this was a one off.
