I almost never eat bbq in my own city and we have 4505 and Memphis Minnie’s. Anyway surely other places exist besides franklins that are at least decent?
wait, we can order ahead and avoid the line? I’ve seen the videos of the queues for years. I didn’t know that they have an order ahead option and if so then why isn’t everyone else doing it?

I definitely saw the Texas thread. I kinda like this Austin thread for Austin. That said I’ll definitely read that texas bbq thread.

I've only been to Franklin once, and it was for a private group dinner event, so no waiting required. Just walk right in and sit down. I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience.
I've heard that Interstellar is pretty decent, and I drive right by it on my way home from the lake in the summer. There are always people waiting for it to open, but nothing like what I hear about with Franklin.
