It’s smokehouse etiquette. If you’re in front of some friends in line, you might want to order what they want since typical traditional BBQ joints sell until they’re out for the day. Gotta be strategic with BBQ.
Last time I ordered like that I paid eighty dollars. But I was eating good bbq for two days straight. So worth it. Pull pork, sliced brisket, ribs, burnt ends, sausage, chicken, beans, potato salad and cornbread was the order. I was amazing.

For those of you who don't know, Arnie is a bit of a local legend in the BBQ world. He's a grand champion cook-off pitmaster with his own line of seasoning. Arnie knows his stuff.
I have beaten him year after year, hardly a master of the pit, you think you can cook better than me?? I challenge you to a cook off for being smart, brisket cook off, Walmart parking lot Walmart, San Antonio, one on northwest loop, October 17th 4pm! If you don’t show I’ll know you are one of the talkers. You must bring 11 guest and I will bring 11, we will bring the Walmart manager 2 ribs each whoever he chooses will be crowned the winner! Save the date pal
I live in Manchester (England), and I’m telling you there is not one single place anywhere in this country that could offer you a platter of bbq like that or anything even remotely close.. one day I’m making a pact to come to America just for the food 🤣
It sounds to me like you should open a place that would offer this in your home town. Since it's not offered anywhere you be the 1st and make a killing $$$$
@@darrylpugh55 would be great but unfortunately I’m pretty sure mine would be terrible😂 you can’t even find brisket and stuff in any shops over here so I’ve never even been able to even try to do it. I see so many good videos as well on here about how to make it and never get the chance 🤣
Franklin's is damn good, had it on my way back to DFW from a cousins reunion that I also squeezed in a camping trip down in the Medina and Concan area. Definitely worthy of being in the top 10 best bbq joints in Texas.
Dawg I swear on everything not at all . I’m from Chicsgo and chi-town if a food. State that everyone who’s ever been there is already knows how good thr
Just came back from Texas for the first time. Had bbq in Austin. Ordered just like that. Food was amazing not gonna lie. Haven't had anything like it here in Cali.

I love the way you do shorts man leaving people wanting the review and putting it to longer format but my one suggestion is put the link to the full vid in the description so its easy to go to
Been to Texas twice each during a road trip JUST to get bbq and although it is expensive, it is very worth it and super filling I always have left overs cuz my brain is hungrier than my stomach
I love how at a good cookout it becomes an escape from the state of the world at the moment as you’re just focused on food and talking to your buddies or making some new ones
I ordered like 120 bucks of brisket, pull pork and some links, the dude behind me said dam that alot of meat, i said, its good enough for left over dinner and tomorrows lunch
Kansas City native, and don’t tell anyone I said this but Texas small batch BBQ is the best in the country. Franklins, Pecan Lodge, Cattleack… KC does have the sides on lockdown, Mac, Cheesy Corn, BBQ Baked Beans… but the meat doesn’t compare.
I got this on repeat a few times. Then I realized I was actually drooling while I was looking. Damn I got to put that on my bucket list. Napkin please 😮
I was bored so I did the math. Couldn’t find price per rib but everything else comes out to 110, and then 30/lb for ribs. So depending on how much they weighed. Could be 140-170 before tax Austin tourist trap.
@@doofusPoofus Austin is literally the shit hole of Texas. I’ve lived in Texas my entire life. It’s one giant tourist trap. Everything is three times more expensive than the rest of the state. Also, there are better bbq places than franklin’s. Franklin’s is kind of a “I want to flex with photos on Instagram” place. There’s a better place just southeast of Ft Worth called Goldee’s that is rated like the second or third best in the nation (which means the world because the US has the best bbq). Franklins isn’t even that good tbh.
$140+ worth of Food …. BBQ is no longer poor people’s food
Worth it for how much time and effort people put into good bbq. Not a quick meal by any means I’ll pay for their labor
But that would/should feed 4-5 people easy
Meat has never been poor peoples food historically tbh.

If I'm going that far, I plan on spending no less than $400! Gotta make sure we have leftovers!
His smile throughout the video made me smile my man was pumped for that bbq
Look at that winning smile. You perfectly convey what I feel when I get barbecue

And burn it all. That is england.

He looks so happy to have this and he should be ❤ god bless America
He knows how to order his bbq for sure. Perfect order
Just found this guy for the first time. You can tell he's an awesome dude just by his smile. Followed
Buying beef ribs for the boys. Salute the friendship and respect. Real man shit right there.
Yes!!! Brisket especially Texas bbq, the best in existence!! I 💗it soooo much. Mmm mmm mmm 😋
You didn’t hit the jackpot you paid the jackpot😅🔥
Bring tray to table: "So, what are you guys having?" 😂😂😂
"I wanted to make sure you got one" gonna make a grown man cry, buying your buddy a beef rib is the purest form of love.
Hands down the best BBQ I've ever had in my life!!😋😋
Sure
We all beilev you went
Prob live in Iowa or sumtn
@@CCC303THIZZ why would anyone lie about that wtf 😂😂😂

Nothing like that in the world. We got the BBQ game on lock.

You're going to the wrong places then, because if there's only a couple of good things left about California, it's good food and the geography.

I grew up a Memphis bbq snob but Terry Black swung me. It’s TX for me now
He looks so happy;)) I haven’t seen someone that happy in a couple of days
When the guy taking you out for bbq wears two hats
You know he means business and that food will be fire
I figured Franklin BBQ gave him a hat because he was wearing his BBQ hat when he went in. Just friendly BBQ competition in the hat game.
Thank you!! I was wondering why he had two hats
Beef ribs are something else man..
My dad used to always joke if you eat with a hat on, you’ll never be full. My man doubled up 😂
Genuine content! Love from Tx!
Daaaaang!!! Looks soooo yummy!!!
Yes sir my man knows what he's talking about true Texan way
He looks extremely happy carrying that tray to the table. I need that joy everyday. 💯🤣🤣
Would love to try some of that! I was drooling watching this! Love this channel.
Yes sir, thats how we do it.
For people that are unfamiliar, BBQ in the south is a very precious &:sacred thing!
You're killin' me smalls!!!
We visited Texas a few years back and the barbecue is just unbelievable didn't get to Franklin's but Augie's in San Antonio was really good.
Franklins is overrated anyway. Been there a couple times and the line is not worth it since theres a good amount of places just as good
@@Flowku Agreed!
When there's no sauce... you know they know their shit
True but also they usually have sauce on the side alike to places that have ketchup bottles out, at least from the ones I’ve been to
theres sauce just not in the video and its very tasty! i like the spicy one
Damn right. Now tell that to KC 😂
yes they did, look at his hand with bottle dripping on food. You're blind lol
Man I need to get to Texas
I love the way you do shorts man leaving people wanting the review and putting it to longer format but my one suggestion is put the link to the full vid in the description so its easy to go to

I know right 👍 God bless America and Texas bbq
Dang, Franklin's, THE BEST!

All the food groups I'm one tray 😍this makes me so happy words can't begin to explain.
god damn that looks good af
I ordered like 120 bucks of brisket, pull pork and some links, the dude behind me said dam that alot of meat, i said, its good enough for left over dinner and tomorrows lunch
In my opinion this is the best BBQ spot.
Every time I'm in Austin Texas I have to stop by.
I'm packing my bags ,meet you there
The double hat 👌
Lmaooooo 😅 he mean business 😆
That shit had me cringing
I just noticed that lmfao
Everything's bigger in Texas 🌟
Man this man's a jewel ✌️

What restaurant is that?? Did he say Franklin
I just drooled all over my phone.
This man is livin’
Your total is $250
Lol I guess $150 , you more closer I’ll bet
Subbed for the smile an "we gonna tear it up" my native.
I hope you took your time with that heavenly feast
Yeah this is why I love Texas born and raised
when uncle says "we're gonna tear it up" ❤❤❤

Worth it
