About the restaurant
Certified Executive Chef Ron Killen returned to his home town after training at Le Cordon Bleu and honing his culinary skills throughout the U.S and is now opening another location in The Woodlands. Our hand-cut steaks are cooked to perfection on a state of the art infrared broiling system that seals in the natural juices of the steak, creating a one of a kind “melt in your mouth” experience. All of our food is prepared fresh daily, using only the finest produce and freshest ingredients. Even our rich desserts are homemade and the only thing frozen in our kitchen is the ice cream! Come in and see what the whole country is talking about!

What a fabulous little spot. Only negative was that they only serve beer and wine. Food, service, wine list, all on point! Great experience!

About the restaurant
Inspired by the time Levi and his father spent on Christmas Bay in search of speckled trout, flounder and redfish, Goode Co. Fish Camp & Oyster Bar is a tribute to the excitement of the catch, the satisfaction of harvesting and cooking freshly-caught food, and the ritual of coming together to enjoy a homemade, hard-earned meal.

With recognizable elements of other Goode Co. concepts here – signature dishes like seafood Campechana, a curated bar featuring handcrafted cocktails and wines, and a vibrant yet comfortable feel – Fish Camp showcases limited-time seasonal offerings that change throughout the year.
