Trove pick: the most-cited BBQ in Texas — no deal, never has been
Other
Franklin doesn't run discounts. They sell brisket by the pound until they're sold out, which is usually well before 2pm. We're including it because no honest Austin restaurant list can leave it off — Aaron Franklin's brisket is the modern benchmark and the line is a known cost of admission. Bring patience and cash.
The Trove note
Editorial pick, not a discount. The modern benchmark for Texas brisket, period. Sold by the pound until sold out — usually well before 2pm — and the line is a known cost of admission. No deal exists and never has; we surface it because no honest Austin restaurant list leaves it off.
