Why You’ll Love It
Franklin's BBQ is an unassuming spot that packs a mighty punch as one of the best barbecue joints in Austin. People wait in line for up to 5+ hours to get even a morsel of their famous brisket. Even celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel, Anthony Bourdain, and President Obama have given it their seal of approval.
Since opening in 2009, owners Aaron and Stacy Franklin have had their success skyrocket into multiple other culinary business ventures thanks to this humble eatery. Aaron even earned a James Beard Award for Best Chef and was inducted into the American Royal Barbecue Hall of Fame for 2020.
