This place was pretty great. We arrived at 12:30 and ate at 1:30. When we arrived Hanna “the bouncer” said that there might not be many selections but we got everything we wanted. The Brisket, burnt ends, and pulled pork were all fantastic. The sausage wasn’t the best both flavors had hard rubbery casings and finely ground meat. I would go back. By 2:00 people were walking in the door and not having to wait in line.

Took a while to have enough time to wait in line… BUT SO WORTH IT! This is hands down the best brisket I’ve ever had. I’ve waited in line 3 times for 1 hour to move 10’ everytime. But finally found time to wait, and it just so happens to be the best time to go with the shortest line (when it’s rainy and cold). Was in and out in 1 hour. The brisket beats Terry blacks any day all day. The moisture alone sets this brisket apart from the rest.

Due to the hype of the place I was nervous that I would be disappointed… how good can brisket be right? I was NOT disappointed!! This is one of the best tasting meals I have EVER eaten. Aaron Franklin and his team are magicians. The food is unbelievable

Been here twice, and it was amazing. When we were here at first, we thought “Is this that good?” but after eat others (take out BBQ) BBQ, we noticed that Franklin is the BEST TOP NOTCH BBQ restaurants in Austin. And this visit is definitely the best experience ever. With the very kindly staff, I cannot forget this experience!

Anything done by a Franklin is just going to naturally be awesome! Left my card for the owner with the little blonde headed girl who was letting folks pre-order kind of to let you know about where they were going to run out of certain things in the line. Look forward to hearing from you.:-)

This place is legendary and rightfully so. I have heard many stories of people getting there hours before they open and still waiting hours to get food. We got there an hour before they close and got our food in under 30 minutes. We got a chopped beef sandwich and a jalapeno sausage link and they since they were about to close they threw in some free brisket. Everything was amazing. I'm not usually a big fan of brisket but there's is incredible. It's super flavorful and melts in your mouth. The sausage and sandwich were great as well. The people working were very friendly as well. If you're in Austin I definitely recommend trying Franklins.
