Franklin Barbecue, located on Austin's historic East Side, is renowned for serving the best barbecue in the known universe, as recognized by Texas Monthly. With a commitment to quality and flavor, Franklin Barbecue offers mouth-watering smoked meats, including their famous brisket, that can now be shipped nationwide for customers to enjoy without the need to wait in line.

Not only does Franklin Barbecue excel in their culinary offerings, but they also contribute to the local community by hosting events such as the annual Hot Luck festival and participating in charity events like VNA Texas' Celebrity Chef event. Additionally, visitors can experience the Texan take on Louisiana homestyle brasserie fare and classic cocktails at their home base, Uptown Sports Club, where they can often find Aaron Franklin himself enjoying a nice afternoon meeting.
