Franklin BBQ

Franklin BBQ has topped barbecue lists for years which is why it is only right we have it at the top of our list.

Known for their beef ribs that are almost impossible to get, due to the high asking volume. Be sure to get there early to get your chance to try ’em (or their other delicious meats and sides).

Pro Tip: Most people camp out as early as 5-6am to be able to get some of the delicious goodness. It’s great to go in groups, to take turns guarding your spot.

TUE–SUN | 11AM–2PM (or until sold out)

Mum Foods

Mum Foods opened it’s first brick-and-mortar location at 5811 Manor Road, Austin TX 78723! We just recently had the chance to try it and it was what dreams were made of. They are only open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am – sold out and boy do they sell out each day around 3 pm! If you’ve been a long-time fan of Mum Foods, you may remember their pop-up deli on Manor Road or them showing up at all the Farmer’s Markets in Austin. For those of you still dreaming of Rachel Sandwiches and Smoked Chicken Salad, we’ve got good news for you, it’s available at the brick-and-mortar!

The original barbecue joint is located in Lockhart, Texas, and has been around for three generations. The family owners have expanded their location to Austin, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Located right outside of campus, enjoy the taste of UT Longhorn life paired with some great tasting brisket and ribs.
