This was my second meal of the day. Went to Interstellar in the morning and got to Franklins around 2pm on a Thursday. No line outside but about 10 people in front of me inside. They were out of everything except brisket, turkey and pulled pork. Oh well. At least I got to try it
$200 all in, including the beer and tax/tip

That’s too much for bbq.
That’s a 5 lb packer? Do they pull the moisture out that’s really small
Did you forget the /s ???
I recently learned that lone Star is made in California.
Edit: it’s owned by Pabst but still made in Texas
Interstellar is the best! I love how they offer free beer
Thanks for letting me know to never go there.
Uhh ….uhh….$200…uhhh. … What??…
To me Franklin is worth the price per pound when you eat it right away. It’s still very good if reheated following their instructions but to me not worth the cost in this format.
I’ve looked into it and pretty much every joint out there still charges roughly the same amount per pound for the packer as they do per pound when sliced fresh for you. I just can’t get down with that.
Their vinegar sauce!!!
Nooooo
This sub kinda sucks. This picture is intentionally misrepresent I’ve of the restaurant.
And you paid for that…
Get to wash it down with that skunk beer
Rage bait
The turkey was a very welcome surprise when I went.
I know the place is good. There is no doubt about the quality of the food. The lines are justified. The prices are not. I can say with confidence that after doing it since I was around 15 (that would make over 30 years) all things i cook outdoors are loved by my family and friends. I may not be no Aaron Franklin, but i can make that meal myself for a small fraction of the price and be 100% happy with the results. And after its all done i can still afford to feed my wife and kids for the rest of the week. Lol
