Question for anyone who has ordered a Franklin Brisket on Goldbelly.com
I'm wondering how accurate the shipping/delivery info was. If anyone here has ordered one I'm very interested in hearing your experience.
I ordered one, as a one time thing, just because I want to honestly see how mine compares. Ordered in mid May, and it said it would be delivered on June 28th which is this Tuesday. Problem is, after two years of working 100% remotely due to the pandemic, I have now been forced to return to the office at least one day a week. That day is generally Tuesdays. Told my Manager I would be in Wednesday instead this week, which is fine, but hoping their shipping is accurate and it doesn't instead show up Wednesday. I don't need that thing sitting on my porch all day while I'm at the office. |

The Mrs. went to Austin last month to see the Eagles. She checked online for some take out brisket from Franklin's and they were already sold out. $35 per pound, 5 pound minimum for take out.
Not sure if I would have pulled the trigger even if it had been available. |

Goldbelly is an absolute, 100% ripoff. They charge double the price to ship food. If a brisket costs $100, they will charge close to that to ship it. The same goes for any other food product that Goldbelly ships, which is most items. I would NEVER, EVER give them one penny of my money.
1. Franklin BBQ charges $34 per pound for brisket. At 5 pounds, this is $170 2. Goldbelly charges $270 and says it is FREE SHIPPING. LMAO 3. Goldbelly is making a $100 profit to ship 5 pounds. And Franklin is ripping off their customers when they charge $34 per pound https://franklinbbq.com/menu https://www.goldbelly.com/franklin-b...ch_id=68110227 Last edited by slider2021; 06-27-2022 at 06:59 PM.. |

If the brisket is worth $170, well, that's up to you. Personally? I have one in my freezer now. I would have preferred to buy 3-4 sliced pounds and freeze it as such, but due to a change in travel schedules, getting a whole chilled brisket was my only option, as well as some others like the turkey that Sako made look amazing, sausage, etc. I've waited in the line, I've had all the food, and to me-it was worth cost per pound. Just ran a few numbers, and looks like on the low end, fuel for my drive there and back, was $310. Now, that was paid mileage, but it means if I want another of their briskets, Goldbelly can save me $210. That's better than geico. |

Have a couple Texas Monthly (former and current) in the region. $32 & 35 per pound for brisket per online menu. I'd guess TM50 Qjoints are close on brisket pricing. We have a Rudys BBQ that is really good. Some scoff due to its chain, but ours is seriously good Oak smoked meats. Nothing is as cost effective as eating at home if you only look at costs not time. Rudy's online pricing is several dollars per pound lower. There are 10-15 perhaps more brick and mortar Q restaurants and several trucks.
On those rare occasions I want someone else's brisket it's Rudy's. Think they ship too |

Good morning TravelingJ - there is so many things wrong with your reply that I don't even know where to begin
1. I never said it was FREE SHIPPING. Goldbelly said it. Look at their website. 2. $34 per pound is a ripoff and insane 3. Goldbelly has shipping locations all over the US. If you think that they are sending one guy, in one truck, to pick up on brisket, you know nothing about commerce and business. So no, it doesn't cost $310 in fuel. |

Here are a few reasons for $34 per pound...
1. I am sure it is very good brisket 2. Texas Monthly and the "myth" that their list promotes in Texas 3. There is no "best" bbq. Just like there is no best pizza, bagel, salsa, taco, etc. There is your own preference and style. Franklin is not any better than Stubbs, Rendevouz, Smitty's, and countless other "legendary" bbq places throughout the USA 4. People are gullible 5. Austin is a large city with lots of dumb tourists who are willing to fork over whatever the asking price is just so they can tell their equally dumb friends and family "I tried it." He could raise it to $40 per pound (and I am sure he will) and these morons would still buy it. And, they would still wait in line for 2-3 hours. I would NEVER pay that much for a pound of anything and I sure as hell would never wait more than 10-15 minutes to order food. |
