That was voted best BBQ in the *WORLD*. What lol? I'm not sure any food is worth waiting around 3-4 hours for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get there after 9, some of the meats will already be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i assume it's mostly tourists then? Hard to see locals skipping out on work to wait around hours for food. Or do they bring out your lunch at 8:30 in the morning?

Last time Obama came to Austin he had it. He showed up at 8am and stood in line like everyone else for a couple hours to get it. It was a huge spectacle having the POTUS standing outside in line waiting for BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he only works from like 8- noon everyday. Throws the meat on at noon, its ready to start slicing the next morning at 8am. At least, thats what I have been told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably won't. Laziness is what puts properties into that kind of distress, not being bad people. You can't cure their laziness. Pretty suck-tastic situation. Neighbors are important to your home value. And you can't do a damn thing about them lol. Thanks. I actually texted him and gave the attached comments from our prospective buyers about their house. He profusely apologized and said he’d clean it up. Hopefully he does. I really don’t want to have to go to the city. That won’t end well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they get it fairly quickly, and just eat it "leftover" at a proper lunch hour? This whole thing is bending my brain lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weekend helping clean/fix the outside of their house could be worth thousands to you. And you get to help a neighbor who you seem to like. Win/Win.

People start lining up outside super early (like 7am), but as long as you get there by ~8:30 you will be fine. About 9am they start going down the line and asking what you want. They know how many pounds of each meat they have; so if the dude at the front of the line orders 15#s of brisket, the 30th guy in line might not get any. The guys at the end of the line basically take whatevers left over. IIRC the doors open at 10 am. You grab what you ordered + any sides/drinks/whatever. Think of it as an Apple store whenever there is a new iPhone. Except it happens everyday of the year, excluding Mondays (they are closed on Mondays).
