Franklin Barbecue is an institution of American BBQ, known for its exceptional brisket and smoked turkey. Despite long waits, often 1-1.5 hours, the food is worth it, with many reviewers praising the brisket as "amazing" and "melting in your mouth." The ribs are also noted for being tender and falling off the bone. While some found the turkey a bit tough and needing more flavor, the overall experience is positive, and the staff is described as friendly and polite. To avoid long lines, it's recommended to arrive early or place an order for pickup, especially since pre-orders can be made online. The restaurant has a limited menu of sides like coleslaw and potato salad, which are well-received. The atmosphere is casual and pub-like, but it can feel tight, making it a spot for quick meals rather than long sit-down gatherings. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with a ramp and features a small dine-in area along with a pet-friendly patio. Prices can be high, but many agree that the food is worth it. Franklin Barbecue is a must-visit for BBQ enthusiasts looking for top-notch, flavorful meats.
