Franklins BBQ

I just had the idea to order about 10lbs of Brisket and Ribs and found out they are closed to pre-orders until 1/2/14 ! That is unreal.
Overrated. Just my opinion, mind you.
I've been going since they were in the trailer, and frankly it's spoiled me on anyone else's brisket. Aaron's brisket is the best. Period. Muehler has come close, but no cigar.
Would love to try it, but I would rather eat good BBQ that is served in 20 min, than stand in line 3 hrs. It could only be disappointing.
Too much good BBQ in central texas to go through the hassle of standing in line for hours.
It's damned good bbq, but I've never been there when the wait was less than 2 hours, even if I took the morning off to go stand in line. That's why I've always preordered and gone to pick it up. It works like a champ....unless those knuckleheads stop offering it.
it's a fad

Ah don't care how good Frankin's is 'posed ta be, Ah ain't waiting forever an' a day ta git me some chow. Bill Miller's has a drive-thru and they never runs out. Y'all Bar-B-Q snobs kin laff all ya want. But tha worst brisket Ah ever had still beat tha muthafuckin' shit out of a tofu hot dog an' a bag o' kale chips.

BBQ might be great but the lines there make it too much of a hassle.

It's so good. I know no BBQ is worth standing in line. I did it last year with my business partner. We had cooler of beer and two beach chairs. Just like tailgating.
We got there at 9:20 and by time inside about 12:00 Aaron held back 4 ribs
for us. He was out of fatty brisket. The regular brisket and pulled pork
were so good. I'm placing my order at Stiles. It's real good , about 1/2,block from YR same side.

It really is good...but...the hassle makes it a one time thing. There is lots and lots of pretty damn good bbq available. Franklin's is when you just want to burn the better part of a work day fucking off.

If a nominally status oriented person stands in a Line for three hours to get any Food Item then normally they will say it was worth it.

If you make say $50 an hour and stand in line 3 hours and IF time is money, is any food item worth that?

I have had good bar b q and great bar b q . But the difference between good and great is not worth an extra $ 150.

Just my opinion
