Credence

Levi Goode — of the Goode Company barbecue dynasty — turns to live fire and Texas provenance at Credence, a Memorial City steakhouse built on the state's ranching heritage. The kitchen works wood and flame: dry-aged Texas beef, open-hearth cooking, and a hospitality that earned the 2025 Texas Michelin Service Award. It's a polished, fire-driven modern steakhouse with deep local roots — Goode's most ambitious project, and a serious entry in Houston's beef-heavy fine-dining scene.
