the industry’s largest and most reputable meat and seafood provider

Buckhead Dallas is the state’s premier specialty meat and seafood processor. The company operates out of a 140,000 ft sq state-of-the-art production and distribution facility in Houston, TX.

Buckhead Dallas today is a reflection of the combining of two best-in-class companies: Louisiana Foods, founded in 1978 and Freedman Meats, founded in 1991. Both companies had strong reputations in the market for the highest quality meat and seafood available. The strength of these companies led to Sysco’s acquisition and the ultimate combination in 2016 into the business we know today.
