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.

The food and our server were very good, Food temps were just right, and they accommodated some special requests. The pianist was very good, but we were seated near the piano, so the music was a little too loud for our group. Next time I will request a table away from the piano. Overall, a nice dinner experience.

What a pleasant surprise! Service at many restaurants in the Woodlands can be hit or miss, particularly on a weekend night. We were served by Earnest who was refreshingly genuine and attentive. How lovely not to receive the typical phoned in service! Earnest made excellent recommendations, both for wine and bourbon. Steaks were perfection. We also felt pricing was an excellent value for the quality and presentation. We will certainly be back.

We were celebrating my husband's 60th birthday at the Woodlands location. The service was excellent! We felt as though we were the only party in the restaurant. The personalization for my husband's special day far exceeded our expectations. As if that was not enough, the food was divine! Everything we ordered was delicious! The steaks melted in our mouths, and the king crab rice was flavorful. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion. The live music really set the tone for the night! We will return! Great job to the team that serviced on our table!
