The restaurant's reputation for excellence in barbecue has only grown since then, attracting both locals and tourists.
The Barbecue[edit | edit source]
Franklin Barbecue is renowned for its Central Texas-style barbecue, particularly its brisket, which is smoked for hours over post oak wood.

In addition to brisket, the menu includes other smoked meats such as pork ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and turkey.
The Experience[edit | edit source]
