    To be honest, I drove into Lexington to get some Snows barbecue, but didn't realize they were…read moreclosed every day but Saturday. Ironically, this place isn't much better since it's only open Friday and Saturday. Needless to say, I got here at 2 o'clock on a Friday and it turns out if you get here that late they will be pretty much out of everything. So from 11 AM till 2 PM they've already run out of everything except a chopped beef sandwich and some fried wings. They also offered a fish sandwich, but why? As for the business itself, it is located in basically what can be considered a small garage with just 4 chairs to wait in for your order and three picnic tables outside. In other words, this place is just one step above a food truck and no public bathroom. Inside there will be a flatscreen playing an episode of either Bonanza, the rifleman or the Lone Ranger. In the background, you can hear the sound of numerous cattle mooing. My simple order still took about 20 minutes to make its way out despite only one other person in line. The tip screen will be waiting when you run your card while you either wait in the cramped cool room or sit outside waiting for your order. I have to admit the chopped beef sandwich was probably the best I've ever had as it was stuffed well beyond what the plain white bun was ever designed for. This sandwich alone took this from a three star to a four star review. To be honest, what I got was vey good, but the disappointment of little to nothing to choose from hardly made it worth the drive. If you're not the early bird, don't expect much. However, if you call 512-595-2477 you can make an early order. 10 photos included or more insight.

    Prolly the best BBQ I've ever had in Texas. Heck, the best BBQ I've ever had anywhere…read more Worth the waiting in line on a hot and steamy summer afternoon, and forever grateful they didn't run out of brisket before we were able to get some. The staff were personable, considering his busy they were. So helpful and engaged with customers. That alone would bring you back. But the smoked meats are hard to beat! I mean, brisket is the movie star, but the sausage and pulled pork weren't to shabby either. Everyone should go here at least 1 time. Then you'll always know how to tell a good BBQ.

    I have had good BBQ brisket before, at least so I thought, until I had Franklin Barbecue. This was…read morethe best barbecue brisket and pork ribs I've ever had. We tried the brisket, the pork ribs and house sausage. The brisket and ribs were fall apart tender and impossibly moist. The moistness was what struck me as different and more delicious compared to other barbecued meats I've had. They did keep the meat wrapped in foil until presented to the customer, which must help. The brisket is only seasoned with salt and pepper so the flavor of the meat and smoke comes through. The ribs are also finished lightly with bbq sauce, still preserving the meat flavor. They do offer four different barbecue sauces that are quite delicious. Bread and pickles are free, as are ice and water. Line wait data point: Went on a Tuesday (they are closed on Mondays) got there at 12:20 PM and it took just 80 minutes to get through the line. Left just after 2pm and there was no line - and few if any meats left.
