Texas BBQ

Go to the La BBQ. It's better and the line isn't nearly as long.

 

Not 8 hours long. Have things changed recently?

 

franklins wait is around 5 hours. la bbq is like 1 1/2 - 2 hours. kerlins 20 minutesish

all comparable brisket

 

thinking of heading over to killen's today. is it to late?

 

Is this 5hr wait at Franklin's really accurate? Earlier in this thread it was 1 1/2 to 3 hrs, no?

and 8 hrs ... i'm not believing that.

 

4 hours at least. get there at 9 and you'll be eating around 1

 

so, what are the people doing who are first ones served at 11:00. Are they camping out the previous day.

 

probably showing up around 5-6 AM. i've had friends get lucky and show up at the end of the day when the line is gone and get some food.

 

For all of you in Austin, Lockhart bbq trips are completely worth it. I've been to Kreuz, Smitty's, and Black's. Kreuz makes the best brisket, Smitty's does everything well but their pork ribs stand out, and Black's does a beef rib that's insane. It's far bigger than any rib you've ever had. One rib feeds two or three people if you have sides.

 

Waited 5 hours at franklins. Place was good but overhyped. I prefer everything at killens over franklins.

 

im an early bird and could get to franklins by 5AM

 

What is the opinion on Salt Lick?

I enjoyed it but I'm guessing Franklin's is much better

 

Waiting for BBQ is silly. I've been in the restaurant industry my whole life and had it all and I will never wait. That's silly.

 

That's been my experience at LA BBQ. Go during the weekdays and its 1 hour if you go before they open.

 

It could only happen in austin, they love trendy **** like that.
