Took a trip to Austin and wanted to try some legendary spots. It seems we got pretty lucky, got to Franklins at 11am Friday and had our food by noon. The brisket was obviously fantastic, ribs were amazing, sides were mid lol. Terry Black's was also VERY good. Beef rib was gigantic and delicious, sides were great, the brisket was not as good i though but my wife liked it more! We both liked the sauce at Franklin more. The vibes of both places were really cool and employees and patrons very nice. Love how you can get drinks while you wait in line. I'm from the Southwest and have very little authentic BBQ to compare to, but am very excited to have personal goals for how I want my smoking to turn out. Yes both of these meals were expensive for two people but I have had much worse food for much higher prices and fancy restaurants. Definitely worth it at least once if you're in Austin!

I’ve never though of BBQ as expensive. Franklin rocks, it’s the best brisket in the world and I don’t think there’s a close second.
Funny enough, I liked franklins brisket more but my wife liked Terry Blacks more.
How’d it feel to take out a 2nd mortgage? 😂
Looks yum though.
Oh man, my mouth literally watering
