Goode Co. Armadillo Palace
5015 kirby Drive
Houston, TX 77098
713-526-9700
Part honky-tonk and part Texas history museum, Goode’s Armadillo Palace gets the mood established right off the bat thanks to the towering armadillo sporting longhorns and breathing smoke right out front.
Armadillo Palace brings the best of Texas together with one dance hall, two bars, three stages and a state-of-the-art kitchen serving indoors and out. It’s our tribute to the city that’s been so good to us for generations. Since crossing the big pond too long ago to count, the Goode family has dedicated itself to sharing the culinary convergence of our flavorful past: the salt of the Gulf, the soul of the South, the spice of the border and that sweet smoke of Texas. From spit-roasted chicken to grilled redfish on the half shell, our faous venison chili, rich with guajillo chilis from New Mexico, and the green chili pork empanadas.our dishes are steeped in tradition – and just as much flavor.
Enjoy the sounds of live music 7 days a week. Grab one of the (real) pistol door handles, pass under a thicket of antler horns, and find a huge saloon-style bar with tooled leather barstools under a tin ceiling. One whole wall is lined with antique saddles; there’s a stuffed longhorn, deer head, or cow skull on every wall; and an antler chandelier hangs over the pool table. Display cases with Robert Earl Keen on the PA complete the honky-tonk heaven. It serves a full menu of Texas comfort food and is available for parties of just about every size. -

Texas Gifts
Exceptional Texas Gifts & Shirts – Built to Last
We take pride in painstakingly crafting the highest-quality gifts and shirts you’ll find anywhere. Every item is designed with the same dedication to excellence that defines all of our products — premium materials, meticulous construction, and attention to every detail.
These aren’t just souvenirs — they’re lasting keepsakes. Our shirts are made for comfort and durability, holding their shape and color wash after wash. Our gifts are equally rugged, built to stand the test of time while still showcasing the beauty, heritage, and bold spirit of Texas.
It’s no wonder these pieces have become ultra-popular favorites among our customers. Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a fellow Texan at heart, these are must-haves for anyone who loves the Lone Star State.
In a World of Cowboy Boots, Republic Boot Co Stands Apart
When it comes to cowboy boots, there are two types of companies: mass-produced “ready-made” brands and small-batch custom bootmakers. Most major boot brands—Lucchese, Tony Lama, Nocona, Justin—are owned by private equity firms like Berkshire Hathaway. Meanwhile, many new direct-to-consumer startups are simply marketing operations selling factory-made boots from conglomerates in León, Mexico. On the other hand, traditional custom bootmakers are typically small teams of artisans crafting each pair by hand, often with wait times exceeding a year.
Republic Boot Co bridges the gap—offering the best of both worlds.
Founded with a unique vision, Republic blends the precision and efficiency of ready-made boots with the quality, character, and soul of custom craftsmanship. Our Houston bootshop delivers an immersive experience where visitors can watch custom boots being handcrafted while browsing our collection of ready-made boots and other finely made leather goods. For a taste of the experience, check out our YouTube channel.
Thanks to our deep bench of master bootmakers, we offer truly custom boots in 7–9 months—without sacrificing quality. Our ready-made boots are built using the same techniques and standards as our custom line, with production managed to maintain consistency and affordability. Every pair is finished, modified, resoled, and quality-checked in our Houston shop. We are master bootmakers, and we stand behind every boot for life.
A Legacy Rooted in Texas Grit
The story of Republic Boot Co began in 2011, when founder Chris Conrad answered a divine calling to “Save Texas” by preserving its rich culture through handcrafted boots and leather goods. He and his wife liquidated their savings and opened a small Houston shop, assembling a team of the finest local craftsmen. Through years of dedication—marked by triumphs and trials worthy of the Texas Revolution itself—Republic Boot Co grew into an award-winning brand that embodies authenticity, heritage, and Texas pride.
“Walking into our shop feels like stepping into a blend of museum, saloon, engineering lab, and John Wayne film. It’s not just retail—it’s an experience.”
Our roots run deep. The Conrad family was among the first to settle in the Houston Heights in the late 1800s, and the shop today proudly honors that legacy.
The Republic Family
At the heart of Republic Boot Co is our incredible team—the soul of our success. Fireball Bill, our General Manager, is a true force of energy who never meets a stranger. He and his wife, Lucky Laura, manage daily operations with Texas charm.
Yoch manages the bootshop, while Spence oversees production. Adam B co-manages and is training to lead our new Fredericksburg location. St. Augustine is the best boot repairman west of the Mississippi. Our bootshop team is deep and incredible.
Our extended Republic Family includes Coach, Gadi, Sauce, Alleyway Callaway, Jake, Ian, Haley, Adam Ray, Abby B & H, Alexa, Davin James, Pasadena James, Johnny Falstaff, Lara, Cuban Mario, Scottio, Italiano Cosimo, Bear Chase, and many more. Their dedication, talent, and heart have carried Republic through the years—and we are beyond grateful.
We are Christ-centered, faith-driven, and deeply thankful for this calling. We love meeting new folks and sharing what we do.
Come join us at Republic—and maybe even earn a bootshop nickname.

Portillo’s
KATY – 1019 Westside Pkwy
WILLOWBROOK – 7511 Farm to Market 1960 Rd W
STAFFORD – 12419 Southwest Fwy
Unrivaled Chicago Street Food
Since 1963
It All Began in the Dog House
In 1963, Dick Portillo invested $1,100 into a small trailer to open the first Portillo’s hot dog stand in Villa Park, IL, which he called “The Dog House.” Years later, Portillo’s has become a brand synonymous with Chicago. In fact, we’re kind of a big dill– people say it’s not a real trip to Chicago unless you eat at Portillo’s. Fortunately, die-hard fans and first-timers alike have their choice of Portillo’s restaurants, as we’ve beefed up to more than 70 locations across several states.
Our Food is Unrivaled
We’re known for our famous Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, chopped salad, cheese fries, homemade chocolate cake, and chocolate cake shake. Our Italian beef is slow-roasted for four hours, thinly sliced, and served on freshly baked French bread. Then, it’s dipped in hot gravy made with our homemade blend of seasonings that we’ve been perfecting for 50 years. Haven’t tried Portillo’s yet? Order an Italian beef, dipped with sweet or hot peppers (add mozzarella if you’re feeling cheesy), or a Chicago-style hot dog “dragged through the garden” and you’ll see what all the hype is about.
