Hands down, best brisket ever! We got 2 lbs brisket, 1/2 lb pulled pork, sausages, and beans. And pie...everything was great, but the brisket was out of this world. Service was outstanding and friendly. We waited ~3 hours, but chairs were provided, people in line were friendly, and if you bring a book or stream something, the time flies. Highly recommended.
After reading mountains of reviews we decided to go on a Saturday. Arrived at 8:30am and grabbed some of their complimentary chairs and sat in line. They did have staff that came down the line to let us know that we could use the bathroom and purchase drinks/memorabilia while we waited.
Around 30 min before they opened they had someone go down the line to get an idea of what everyone was going to order. Since it was Saturday, we made sure to tell them we wanted beef ribs well as brisket and sausage. The gentleman who was taking notes said we may have gotten the last beef ribs for the day.
Once they opened (11a) it took another 1.5 hours before we actually had our food. The weather was awesome (Mid October) so we chose to sit outside.
The Brisket was freaking awesome! Worth the wait! The Beef ribs were just plain delicious.! Everything was so tender....you only need a knife for the sausages which were great as well.
First visit;referred by community first village staff, who highly recommended it.
Building located on corner, minimal parking, however there is street parking.
We were warned about a line, lucky for us it was not very long. Wait time was 30 minutes standing under the covered area.
Food cost is $$ (whatever that means to you). Brisket was the best. 5 🌟
We had ribs, beans & and potatoes salad.
Taste was good, meat sold by the pound, no plate combos. There are 4 BBQ sauce options
Staff were amazingly kind, polite, and friendly.
Are you in the mood for tender, juicy, delicious, melts in your mouth, barbecue. Look no further! This location is very tasty! This spot opens at 11:00 am, but people will line up as early as 8:30 am. Typically, the first items to sell out are the pork ribs and the brisket, but all items on the menu are delicious! All items will sell out, and once they're done, they're done, at least until the next day. Wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages are offered. If you're in the Austin area and are craving deliciousness, definitely check this spot out!!!
This was one of the BEST day trips I’ve had yet. Customer service was everything, food was amazing, wait until you see these ribs!!! I won’t upload all the pics because it doesn’t do them justice, but we arrived at 8:00am to a line that formed at 5:45am. There were plenty of chairs to use while you wait. Drinks and bathroom were offered while we waited. Freda took our preorder. Everyone was so nice. We ordered 6lbs of brisket, 1/2lb of pulled pork, 3lbs of ribs, potato salad, beans and coleslaw. Definitely worth the wait. Mr Franklin, hats off to you sir! And thank you for the tour!
“Franklin’s Barbecue is without a doubt the pinnacle of Texan barbecue experiences in the entire state. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the warmest staff, creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the meal. The smoky aroma that enveloped the air was a prelude to the incredible flavors that awaited. Every bite of their barbecue was a journey into the world of perfectly balanced smokiness and tenderness, a testament to their mastery of the craft. The staff’s friendliness and attentiveness elevated the experience even further, making me feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer. With a flawless service score of 100 out of 100, Franklin’s Barbecue not only meets expectations but exceeds them on every level. Without a doubt, I’m already eagerly looking forward to my next visit. Franklin’s has truly set the bar impossibly high for any other barbecue joint to follow.”
I’m lucky enough to be so close to Franklin Barbecue, I can smell the deliciousness every single day. These guys work they’re tails off to create the most exquisite BBQ Texas has to offer. They literally have a night shift to keep the fires going all night, so the customer can have what I consider to be the best barbecue I’ve ever had. The thing I love the most about them… they didn’t change, they didn’t sell out, they knew they had incredible barbecue, and they just stuck with it. This is perfection
An Austin essential and I do agree with the hype. Being from the northeast I can’t say I’m a bbq connoisseur but I do appreciate the art. We queued up at 8:30am and were fed by 11:30. The wait really isn’t bad because they have chairs and drinks for you. Once it opens and you start standing, that wait does feel a bit longer. We were able to snag some beef ribs and of course brisket, sausage, and pork ribs. All of it was really good but also it’s also a lot of meat for breakfast 😅 Definitely a must try when in Austin!
This really is life changing bbq. We went midweek post lunch rush and were only two parties from the door when we arrived. They were sold out of turkey and sausage. The brisket is the moistest and most tender you’ll ever have. The flavor will wreck you in a good way. The ribs were equally as good but I prefer brisket. As with most bbq places imho the side are mid at best. We got potato salad and slaw. Skip the sides and just spend that money on beef and beer. I’m never going to wait around the building for it but it is a great experience.
The staff is also wonderful and seemed glad we were there.
Pro tips: Get in line before 10am, don't be hungover, the sandwiches have the best meat to cost value.
I ordered way too much and had to take away due to the looming hangover. Good bbq but it's all about personal preference and I like a wet rib vs a dry. Brisket lived up to the hype.
