Goodwins

📍Lower Greenville

Goodwins just landed on the Resy Hit List for February 2026, and if you've been sleeping on this Lower Greenville spot, consider this your wake-up call.

The team behind it is stacked. Chef Jeff Bekavac spent 26 years in Dallas kitchens (Cane Rosso, Neighborhood Services) before linking up with Austin Rodgers (Alamo Club) and David Cash (Smoky Rose) to take over the iconic old Blue Goose Cantina space.

Order The Underhill, their French dip that even the staff swears is the best thing on the menu. Then sneak into "Goosebar," their hidden speakeasy in the back with $10 happy hour martinis from 4 to 6 PM. Reservations are available on Resy, and you'll want them. This place books up fast.
