Franklin Barbecue Details PleaseAll the meats are amazing but the brisket is the shining star.Need to KnowClosed on Mondays and open every other day until they “sell out” (which happens between 2-3pm).What Our Friends Are Saying10BEST: "Every day since Franklin Barbecue opened for business as a modest food trailer in 2009, it has sold out of its famous brisket. After a showing in the movie 'Chef,' mentions in the New York Times and a nomination for the James Beard award, Aaron Franklin's food is even more heralded. The barbecue here has been heralded as some of the best in the country, and even with the larger brick and mortar location, you'll still find a line out the door more often than not - often with waits of three or four hours. The consistency is amazing, and although the lines are not something most people would brave frequently, Franklin's is a can't-miss experience at least once for barbecue lovers."Lonely Planet: "This famous BBQ joint only serves lunch, and only until it runs out – usually well before 2pm. To avoid missing out, join the line – and there will be a line – by 10am (9am on weekends). Treat it as a tailgating party: bring beer or mimosas to share and make friends. And yes, you do want the fatty brisket."

They’ve been awarded “Best BBQ Joint in Texas” and “Best BBQ Joint in America” so you know it’s worth the hype. You’ll need to be patient because the line starts early and gets loooong, leaving you plenty of time to drool in anticipation.
