Franklin BBQ update (pics) and La Barbecue

As promised, here are some updated pics from my 1.5 hour waiting in line at Franklin (2 hours total from getting in line to eating). See original thread if interested. Here

This is where I was in line. You can see the line out into the parking lot (heat/sun) if you get there too late (9:45). Notice how the shade ends at the corner of the building. You do not want to be waiting past this corner.




At 11:10 I am inside the door. Notice all the empty seats as the first people in line are just now ordering and sitting down.

At 11:20 I am about to order. They cut to order. Notice the free sample of brisket they present on the left.


I almost forgot to take a pic of my plate till I ate about 1/2 of it, but this is the other half. Notice the outstanding bark.


My receipt timed 11:24. I got a lot to go.


On to La Barbecue the next day. This place is awesome- I'd say equal to Franklin. Basically a food truck but the pits are next to the booth outside. Also live band playing. Picnic benches under tents to eat. Free beer from a keg. Notice the keg and the pits behind in on the right.


This was the line when I got there at 12:30. About 10-15 min wait to order.

Look at this brisket sandwich. Simply awesome. Ordered the beef rib and some brisket as well. Decadent to say the least.



All in all an excellent trip to Austin.
