Franklin Barbecue

Overview

Founded by pitmaster Aaron Franklin in 2009, Franklin Barbecue began as a small trailer before moving to its current brick-and-mortar location in 2011. It quickly gained national recognition for its exceptional brisket, with lines forming hours before opening. The restaurant has received numerous accolades, including a James Beard Award for Aaron Franklin, and has been featured in countless food publications and TV shows, including Anthony Bourdain's 'No Reservations.'
