Finally had my long-awaited dinner at Q39 and thought it was great. Had the combination brisket and burnt ends plate. The brisket was amazingly tender and I would gauge it as about 3/8" thick. As the brisket was the more leaner of the two, I preferred it to the burnt ends. My wife liked the burnt ends as they were a bit fattier. Wasn't crazy about the baked beans but everything else was amazing.
Parking is supposedly a bit of a problem for folks coming after 6:00 pm, but as we had gotten there earlier we didn't have an issue.

Hey y'all! Any recommendations for Austin, TX? So far the top of my list includes Salt Lick, Ironworks, and La Barbeque

don't wait in line at franklin's. i hear it's good but i've also heard it was mediocre, bbq can be inconsistent. seriously i live for bbq but waiting longer than 30 minutes for it is just wack. they don't even do phone pickup orders? screw em. even gatlins and ray's in houston do phone orders. just drive out to hill country and try some of those joints. one of my favorite is city market in luling (not in hill country but 1-2 hrs from austin)
north of austin there's another place that is exceptional, i completely forget
even bone daddies if you like that hokey twin peaks kinda stuff

i expensed a night at bone daddy's for japanese clients, they loved it
honestly the brisket was very good. not houston good, but a lot better than i thought
but across the freeway is a rudy's bbq, much better bang for buck
and to be honest, when i have a hankering 8-10 pm for some bbq, rudy's is very decent.

And I wouldn't subject anyone to Bone Daddy's...ever.

We went to Iron Works which was decent, but I've had better. I also got Salt Lick at the airport and was beyond underwhelmed -J.
