Not having the chance to visit Texas BBQ legend Snow's, i can't say anything is the best*, but it sure was the best damn BBQ I've ever had. The Ribs are a simple dry rub job, but incredibly succulent. The sausage is a little fluffy and properly spiced. The pulled pork is cut more like chopped beef and among the most tender meats i've ever had the pleasure of eating. The coup de grace though is the Brisket.
It's moist beyond belief, and is easily separated by the plastic utensils (the fact that that is all they have is a little boastful), not to mention the fatty burnt ends which are best described as liquid brisket. So rich, with a beautiful char, it melts in your mouth like some meaty butter from god. And while we are on the subject of god, the owners are some of the nicest people you could ever meet, which is especially helpful when you consider they often have a 2+ hour wait. I got there at an hour before the place opened and i still wasn't the first in line. Having stood in line for 2.5 hours before, I can say with out a doubt that it is worth it, but only for those who take their food seriously (which if you are reading this you probably do). I suggest going with friends to help pass the time though.
Franklin is open every day except monday from 11 to sold out (which usually occurs before 11, so get there early; around 9:30-10, or go after 12:30, but you may only get scraps), at 900 E. 11th Austin TX.
*Having been multiple times and talking with people in line who have been, they swear Franklin is better.
