Imagine another corporate luncheon invite has just landed in the inbox of a client or executive assistant. 

It’s at some mid-tier restaurant, with the usual boring decor and forgettable food. Yawn. Another poor impression left. They’re considering leaving the company, ending that potential deal, or declining altogether. 

The next week, however, they receive an invitation from your business. It’s a corporate luncheon in Houston again. But this time, it’s at a venue rich in personality, flavor, and Texan charm.

That venue is Goode Company’s very own The Armadillo Palace. Your invitee can’t resist and will be left with a memorable impression of the extra steps you take in your work. 

Like what you hear? Let’s show you how easy it can be.

Make That First Impression Hit, with The Armadillo Palace 

The Armadillo Palace by Goode Co. is our bona fide dance hall, beer garden, kitchen, and restaurant space. We consider it our tribute to everything that makes us proud to be Texan. 

This is the destination for corporate events in Houston where you can set a vibrant and friendly tone to make connections. 

Decked out in traditional Texan decor hand-picked and collected over the years by our owner, Levi Goode, it offers a communal atmosphere in spaces such as our main bar area, or a warm private space in ‘The Hall’. You can even take your corporate luncheon outside, with our private patio or backyard spaces. 

Best of all, The Armadillo Palace is in a great location – just ten minutes from NRG Stadium, downtown Houston, and the Galleria – at 5015 Kirby Drive, Houston, Texas 77098. 

Only Settle for Real Texan Food

A charming location doesn’t mean much if the food doesn’t hit just as hard. That’s why we’re going to brag about our iconic barbeque offerings. 

Our food itself is an experience, with the option to have a live-fire and carving right in front of your awestruck guests, with mesquite-smoked barbeque brisket, handcrafted sausages, ribs, and chicken. Then, they can enjoy some delicious homemade Texan sides, homemade tortillas, and all the trimmings. 

You guests can finish off the experience with our Texan pecan star dessert, the Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie. And wet their whistle with a customized choice of cocktails and curated alcoholic drinks. 

We’re certain that your guests will get a fantastic first impression of your luncheon from the moment the barbeque smell hits their senses the moment they step foot in The Armadillo Palace.. 

Decide on The Goal of Your Corporate Luncheon:

We know that not every corporate luncheon is the same. So, rest assured that we are extremely flexible when it comes to numbers, dietary preferences, and the general vision of your event. 

So, whether you’re welcoming 20 or 200 guests, we’ll adapt. Here are some ideas: 

Team Appreciation Luncheons

Reserve our hall or backyard spaces for a private team or department get-together, in a space that is lively and spacious enough for every member and department. 

We can bring the entertainment, or just focus on the food – we recommend going for live-grill, to see that delicious brisket crackle away before getting carved up straight onto your plates. 

The vibes will be joyous, and your team will have plenty of space to enjoy mingling, leaving them feeling motivated to work with you for another year. 

Client meetings or pitch lunches

When you need something more intimate, but still casual enough for a warm and inviting vibe, then we’ve got you covered. The Patio or The Armadillo rooms are perfect, authentically Texan spots, if you’re looking to sell something close to home. 

Our customized menus and drinks are perfect for dedicated dishes or sharing plates, including time-tested smoked barbeque meats, colorful Tex-Mex combinations, or seafood that’s fresh from the Gulf. 

Holiday Parties

We can also host a themed or event-specific party. From the Houston Rodeo to Fifa World Cup or OTC 2026, a summer party, or a birthday, our spaces can be decorated within your theme, alongside live music and that famous Texan hospitality. 

Live Stations

The more people you invite, the more complicated dietary and taste preferences become. One great option is our live station bars. 

We’ve got barbeque slider bars, guacamole bars, Mexican-style seafood bars, Mac & Cheese bars, and even a street-style Taco bar – all giving your guests the ability to customize their plates and get up on their feet (which is great for getting your guests to mix + mingle together). 

Finally, they can enjoy drinks from our mobile bar ‘YonderLust’, which is our Airstream-turned-bar.

Live music and games

Let’s not forget that Texas-style corporate events should be fun too.

If you’re after something more casual and celebratory, then live music is a must-have, and we’ll take care of that too, bringing in local Texan talent that we know will bring the house down. We’ve also got yard games available, if you’re looking to put your colleagues to the test.

Relax. Let Us Take Care of the Planning.

Hosting corporate luncheons in Houston with The Armadillo Palace is an easy and relaxed experience. 

Our experienced event staff understand the corporate needs and timelines you’ll have, and can take care of all coordination, set-up, and breakdown. 

We’ll ensure all our staff are aware of the importance of your event, so you’re treated with the approach you’re going for – whether it’s privacy to secure a deal without interruptions, or a relaxed and casual approach for a larger team. 

We can even provide valet parking if required and have a convenient central Houston location for easy access. 

Audio and Visual Capability 

If you’re looking to present awards, pitch an idea, or do a speech, then we’ve got audio and visual capabilities to make it shine. We can also set up photo booths and add decor themed to your business, so all your photos shine on social media.
