Austin, TX
I'm heading down to Austin to work the MotoGP races this coming weekend. But, I've scheduled an extra day so I can visit Franklin's BBQ. I've heard you have to be in line super early. Is that true during the week? I plan on having lunch there Wednesday
Thanks, Jeff

We got there at 8 am and were about 35th in line. Fantastic brisket - I'd do it again.
If you don't have as much time to wait in line check out John Mueller Meat Co. on 6th. We got there about 45 minutes early on a Sunday and were the second group in line. Amazing stuff as well. I'd give Franklin's the edge for the mind-blowing brisket experience, but John Mueller may have the edge for the overall experience. It's all so dang good I don't even really like comparing. If you get to Franklin's really early and be among the first, you can eat there and then hopefully catch Mueller before he runs out - now that's a day of good eats right there.

I just looked up and saw you're planning on Wed., which is the one day John Mueller is closed.
If you want to hit a second spot, I've heard Stiles Switch is great (I think the cook there used to cook at Louie Mueller's in Taylor). If you have time, check out the Lockhart spots or Southside Market and/or Meyer's in Elgin. While you're there, you may as well live it up, right? We hit 8 joints in 3 days last week. It was farking beautiful. Here's a thread about it.

You're making me hungry! I won't have a lot of time. I'm on the Safety Crew for the races. Gotta be in training Thursday. Then on track early Friday-Sunday.
I'll shoot for two places on Wednesday. Or maybe just get a whole brisket from Franklin....

Jeff, if getting at least 5 lbs of meat, you can pre-order & skip the line. Here's the info:

uhhhhh, we tried to do that but I was told there is a 5-week waiting list for pre-orders. I loved la BBQ too! We showed up there at about 1300 and were eating in 15 minutes.

I think La Barbecue is owned by someone from the Mueller family and I think the pitmaster used to work at Franklin's, so it seems to me that it would be awesome. I definitely want to check it out next time I go to Austin. And after looking at cazzy's pix I may have to move that time up a little sooner.
