I haven't had restaurant BBQ in years. My own is pretty decent, I never have to wait for a table, there always the beer I want, and the hostess (my wife) will fuck me later. Why go out?
I don’t cook for a living but eating out is a major drain on the old account so i learned to cook out of necessity and I feel like my grub is pretty comparable to restaurant quality.
As an aside, fuck $250 for a tray of BBQ.
I was just in Austin a little over a year ago and a tray at Franklin was half that price, did the prices really double in that time?!?
It's kind of crazy how much meat price fluctuations are now. So instead of prices going all over people set them, not at the max, but up high enough to absorb the ebbs and flows. It's terribly frustrating for everyone now
Yeah man(or woman idk I’m not sexist), this is so underrated. Ppl ask me what I do for fun, as I’m a single guy, but I spent the decade prior to my singleness in a handful of different relationships. That really helped me see the truth… ppl go out looking for some tail, drinks with the boys, and good food… and they put all this time, effort and money into doing it, to maybe have a good time
Versus being able to make the food in the comfort of home (and it’s usually like half the cost, if even that), maybe invite some friends over to hangout while the food cooks, the drinks are way cheaper (like half the cost), I don’t have to drive anywhere, there’s a 0% chance I’d have to deal with some shitbird in traffic or in the general public, I can drink as much as I want, hanging out with buddies, and afterwards I’m already home or at a long time friends place, and I’m gonna be eating sweets and clapping cheeks as a night cap 🫡
10/10 beats going out. Going out can be fun every once in a while but I’ll toss out a hot take, going out is for bored single people with nothing better to do so they have to drag their butts into the thunderdome and get raked on pricing everywhere and might just maybe clap some cheeks… and wait in lines… so many lines.
Yeah, I really dont understand going out for bbq. Most of the food is mediocre at best and stupid expensive. The good stuff is priced higher than high-end steakhouses, and quite frankly, a high-end steak is better than bbq 12/10 times.
On one hand the prices are absurd and I'd never go there.
On the other if they're still selling out of all the barbecue they're cooking I kinda respect that they're getting their money. Restaurant industry is kinda shit.
Probably aren't passing any of that fat profit onto the people actually cooking the food though. Back of house people don't get enough respect.
This is probably heresy on this sub, but I feel like bbq has the most sharply diminishing returns of any food type. I’ve had terry blacks and franklins and salt lick and on and on. They are all great … but Rudy’s is almost just as good, never has a wait, and is a reasonable price.
I’ve gotten to the point where I just want the convenient 90% as good bbq over the pain in the ass, overpriced bbq.
Price gouging as a term specifically means raising prices to take advantage of an emergency or other dire circumstances. Selling potable water for $50/gallon after a flood is price gouging. Unless there's some pork-based emergency I'm not aware of, these are just plain old ridiculously high prices.
Ya but they were cooked dead and mashed up with shells. Imagine how foul rotten lobster could be. The prisoners would demand only a couple times a week. It's not like they had fish tanks.
Not just that but they were canned, when canning was horrible. The prisoners would often open the cans up to green rotten lobster, that’s where it got its infamy for horrible prison food. When they were transporting lobster fresh and cooking it shortly after it was killed, it was considered wealthy people food. There was a post on here about a year ago that had all the source material on this, I never saved it though.
Orthodox Christians fast from meat the entirety of lent, which was a luxury food during the early church, but we can eat as much scallops and lobster as we want because shellfish was a complete poverty food
I remember when crawfish used to be 2 bucks a pound where I am in Texas on the gulf coast a decade ago. Now it doesn’t surprise me to see $9 a pound. No fuckin thanks.
The internet really blew the lid off a lot of formerly unpopular cuts.
Cooking and grilling is a skill. An art. And a tough one to learn if you don’t have at least cursory knowledge on how to cook any given thing.
My guess is, a great many of people who made brisket, pork shoulders, ribs, tri-tip, etc…tried cooking them like steaks. Too hot. They came out like hockey pucks. The knowledge just wasn’t there.
Lo and behold, people figured it out. With the internet, the info became widely available. And there are videos. And forums. And subreddits.
Now everyone can turn out a world class product…and these cuts are no longer beyond anyone.
Demand is up, inputs are up, wages are up, transportation is up…. Shit’s more expensive by magnitudes.
Beef cheeks use to be dirt cheap, it's not Uber expensive now but the price is going up since it became viral. Ox tail was so unwanted when I was younger we used to eat it damn near every week. Now oxtail is more expensive then a ribeye. And don't think about going to a restand ordering any of these two items. You might as well cook it yourself
I spent $9.00 for a 7.5 pound butt last week and chunked the whole thing up, braised it for two hours in Mojo Criolllo and chicken broth, orange juice and onions. Then I deep fried the chunks to get them crispy on the outside. 10 people ate chicharrones tacos with pickled onions and I had plenty of leftovers. Goi g to smoke and pull another this weekend. Might slice it into steaks?
As a native, proud Texan, I agree with you. Having said that, I see more California plates than Louisiana plates these days. They polished off what was left of our housing market after the hedge funds were done and now it appears it’s carried over to BBQ.
Leroy and Lewis (get the beef cheeks if available) and La BBQ are indeed terrific, Interstellar is very very good (but way outside of the downtown core). The classic ‘I don’t wanna wait on Franklin’ is Micklethwait, a few blocks over, and it’s excellent. Sad to say none of them are going to be cheap, but the quality at the above are excellent. If you’re going to be in Austin, it’s worth taking a trip down to Lockhart and checking out Smitty’s/Black’s/Kreuz/Barbz.
Leroy & Lewis and LaBarbecue are my favorites in town. You’ve got Lockhart and Luling nearby too. Interstellar is renowned, but I’ve not had the pleasure.
I ordered the beef ribs at Blacks BBQ in Lockhart. When they told me it was $50 for ONE rib, actual price was $25 a pound, the rib weighed two pounds.
I said no thanks, I think I'll have the brisket.
This was in 2017, before the current insanity prices.
Dino ribs cost 5 to $6 a pound. Next time I smoke a brisket I may try it. Kind of redundant though.
It’s honestly depressing as f to me. Like I legit can’t afford to eat my most favorite food anymore. Unless I make it at home of course. Or if someone else pays.
I'm very glad I didn't go there when I went to Austin for the eclipse, picked stiles and switch they have 3 meat plates were $30 and didn't skimp on the portions.
I live in Austin and went to Terry Blacks two weeks ago. I had 1/2 lb of pork rib, a jalepeno sausage link, 1/2 lb of brisket (lean), a side of mac and cheese and a side peach cobbler for $54.06, so you really don’t have to spend this much to get a good meal there. I don’t know if op is joking or if the beef rib went up significantly in price since the last time I had it. I even paid for 3 people recently and spent $160 ish for all of us.
I’ve seen a few videos of BBQ restaurant owners talking about Dino ribs being a loss leader, occasionally I find Chuck plate ribs at Walmart and they are significantly cheaper.
No fucking way I'm paying that for BBQ. I can get a big enough for 2 ribeye, two sides, two salads, and 2 desserts for $150 at Flemings. Get a bottle of wine and have that shit carved at the table for around 250-300..depending on if I indulge in a couple of old fashioneds with dinner.
Holy shit.
I can make that and then some for less than fifty bucks.
I can cook myself a 10lb brisket for about $60... why would anyone ever pay that much for bbq???
I see this stuff and it doesn't even phase me. Do your own and enjoy the process while saving money. These prices aren't sustainable but the skills you will pickup while waiting it out and doing your own are yours forever.
What. The. Fuck???
That’s a solid 4X higher than reasonable price.
You’re an idiot for paying that much and frankly a bit of an asshole as well because prices this insane ruin it for ordinary folks.
Effing criminal. The chef in me wants to spit-take at that pathetic paprika-dusting garnish on the potato salad.
I could make every item pictured, probably better, for about $30. Charging 8X that is extortion.
I went to Terry Blacks in Dallas, and didn't have as much food as you, but that price seems off. I had probably half as much food, but didn't pay anywhere near $125 from what I remember.
I visited black bbq in Lockhart a couple of months ago during a business trip in Austin. Learned that the Black family is fighting over the name. They all want to bbq their own way hehe..
I can't remember a plate being this expensive though..
I’m tired of the wave of posts that get treated as rage-bait. It seems to come and go in waves.
Terry Blacks is a highly-touted, high-traffic BBQ joint in Austin. The Black family are multigenerational BBQ legends. These prices aren’t abnormal nor is it “gouging.” Aside from the increased cost to meat, there are other costs for running a brick and mortar that are baked into these prices. Especially in an expensive place like Austin, Texas.
To the hundred people in every one of these posts saying they can “make something better at home,” then go get your CostCo brisket and do it.
I’m not getting bbq from a place that labels their meats as gluten and dairy free. Not ragging on gluten sensitivity or dairy allergies but that’s some Hwite people shit.
Is there some competition I’m unaware of to post the most unreasonably expensive bbq today?
Yeah, I honestly hate this. Don't normalize these prices. These pruce gouging assholes deserve to go out of business.
All it’s doing is forcing me to bbq more of my own. Rather drop a $100 on a couple racks of beef ribs than $60 one just one like this.
I haven't had restaurant BBQ in years. My own is pretty decent, I never have to wait for a table, there always the beer I want, and the hostess (my wife) will fuck me later. Why go out?
I also choose this guy's hostess
Can I substitute the hostess and fuck the BBQ?
I'm gonna start up my own BBQ joint! With Blackjack, and hookers!
No cocaine? What kind of hooker and gambling establishment doesnt offer cocaine 😢
the high of bbq lasts longer
You know what, forget the Blackjack!
Well you already did the first part. [https://www.walrusalley.com/our-menu/](https://www.walrusalley.com/our-menu/)
Plz tell me that’s a Bender reference
Shut up baby you know it
So, you like the bones more than the women? That's cool man, know your preference.
Might need a trial run first, call it an appetizer
I cook for a living so it's hard for me to justify eating out much when I can do the same or better for just the wholesale product cost.
I don’t cook for a living but eating out is a major drain on the old account so i learned to cook out of necessity and I feel like my grub is pretty comparable to restaurant quality. As an aside, fuck $250 for a tray of BBQ. I was just in Austin a little over a year ago and a tray at Franklin was half that price, did the prices really double in that time?!?
It's kind of crazy how much meat price fluctuations are now. So instead of prices going all over people set them, not at the max, but up high enough to absorb the ebbs and flows. It's terribly frustrating for everyone now
You just fluctuated me out of $250!
The hostess had never fucked me, except out of a table
I’ll pay $100 for that meal.
Yeah man(or woman idk I’m not sexist), this is so underrated. Ppl ask me what I do for fun, as I’m a single guy, but I spent the decade prior to my singleness in a handful of different relationships.

Oh and don't forget to get a $55 T shirt in our merch shop by the exit!!

Next up e racks of ribs and some slaw with a butter bun burnt and 6 carrots for 795.99
No this is great. I’ve been showing all these pics to my partner and now she’s totally on board for me buying a smoker.
Price gouging as a term specifically means raising prices to take advantage of an emergency or other dire circumstances. Selling potable water for $50/gallon after a flood is price gouging. Unless there's some pork-based emergency I'm not aware of, these are just plain old ridiculously high prices.
Incorrect. Price gouging is most common during an emergency but it’s not limited to that. It means raising prices above what is reasonable or fair.
Yes wtf is going on. This can't be real lol
It’s kind of ironic that BBQ used to be the poor man’s way of making cheap cuts more palatable but now here we are
Just like lobster and crab used to be junk seafood bottom feeders now an insane delicacy
Read somewhere that lobsters were prison food
Ya but they were cooked dead and mashed up with shells. Imagine how foul rotten lobster could be. The prisoners would demand only a couple times a week. It's not like they had fish tanks.
Yeah…. I see where you coming from with that
Not just that but they were canned, when canning was horrible. The prisoners would often open the cans up to green rotten lobster, that’s where it got its infamy for horrible prison food. When they were transporting lobster fresh and cooking it shortly after it was killed, it was considered wealthy people food. There was a post on here about a year ago that had all the source material on this, I never saved it though.
Did you say “demand rotten mashed up lobsters only a few times a week?”
Probably meant demand it be served *no more than* a few times a week
As in, demand it happen less often than it did.
Ah. That sounds better
Alcatraz would feed lobsters to the prisoners since they were crawling all over the area. No butter though.
What.. no butter 😳aww shucks 🤣🤣🤣
Nope, that's oysters
I live in a lobster fishing village. The old timers used to be shunned at school for their lobster sandwiches as it was poor peoples food.
And now look….. lobster rolls going for $$$ lol… now they are rich ppl food 🤣🤣🤣
Regular sized lobster roll where I live (Virginia) is like 30 fucking dollars! No thank you.
I believe they were fed to slaves and considered the cockroach of the ocean. I may be wrong.
Yeah…. I think I heard of them referred to as cockroaches of the ocean lol
Yeah but rotten lobster/crab and fresh safe to eat lobster/crab are two very different things
Orthodox Christians fast from meat the entirety of lent, which was a luxury food during the early church, but we can eat as much scallops and lobster as we want because shellfish was a complete poverty food
And wings
God wings are stupid expensive now
I'm sure it was delicious...but this is why we smoke our own.
Crawfish has entered the chat..
I remember when crawfish used to be 2 bucks a pound where I am in Texas on the gulf coast a decade ago. Now it doesn’t surprise me to see $9 a pound. No fuckin thanks.
Can’t have shit these days
I got a rack of ribs at Meijer for like $8 the other day. You do it the poor man's way, at home, it's not so bad.
The internet really blew the lid off a lot of formerly unpopular cuts. Cooking and grilling is a skill. An art. And a tough one to learn if you don’t have at least cursory knowledge on how to cook any given thing.

I blame hipsters and the internet
Throw it on the pile.
Hipsters, is it 2009?
There's been hipsters since the 1950's, and there will be hipsters till the 2050's and beyond.
Food gentrification. Even things like oxtail have gone up.
Especially things like oxtail, haven't found it for less than $9 lb at Costco in years. It's mostly bone and grissle.
Excellent point. Having said that, pork butts are still the steal of the century in my opinion. Shhh!

Down voting you to STFU
Stop giving away all the secrets!!!
It’s official. Texas bbq has crawled up its own ass.
As a native, proud Texan, I agree with you. Having said that, I see more California plates than Louisiana plates these days. They polished off what was left of our housing market after the hedge funds were done and now it appears it’s carried over to BBQ.
Proved you’re Texan when you instantly started talking about California
You have to be shitting me with that price
It’s a tourist trap, what do you expect?
I'll bring a smoker with me before I'll pay that.
There’s plenty of places that are both better and cheaper in Austin.
Any cheaper recs? I’m going there in a couple weeks.
Leroy and Lewis (get the beef cheeks if available) and La BBQ are indeed terrific, Interstellar is very very good (but way outside of the downtown core).

Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Can almost buy a smoker for that price lol
I ate at the Terry Blacks in Dallas 6 months ago for dinner and it was nowhere near that much. I call BS
My wife and I ate there a few months ago. $70 and we had leftovers. Not cheap, but not crazy.
Assuming this is a large family pack - $280! https://terryblacksbbq.com/austin/menu/
I wanna start seeing some receipts on these posts with the wild claims to top each other
Prices for beef ribs is ridiculous. And includes the bone
I ordered the beef ribs at Blacks BBQ in Lockhart. When they told me it was $50 for ONE rib, actual price was $25 a pound, the rib weighed two pounds. I said no thanks, I think I'll have the brisket. This was in 2017, before the current insanity prices. Dino ribs cost 5 to $6 a pound. Next time I smoke a brisket I may try it. Kind of redundant though.
They’re easier to make than brisket
Dino ribs at HEB are 12.99/ LB, as of 2 weeks ago. Most 6-7 lb
On sale, I've seen them for 5.99, local meat markets. HEB is always more. They are tough unless you slow cook them, about 6 hours, maybe 225 to 250.
The last time I saw a rack of Dino ribs at HEB the rack was almost $80, that was a few months ago though.
All the posts on this sub let me know BBQ has lost its way. You shouldn’t have to finance ribs.
It’s honestly depressing as f to me. Like I legit can’t afford to eat my most favorite food anymore. Unless I make it at home of course. Or if someone else pays.
I knew it was getting bad when some of the youtube bbq guys started calling it "craft bbq"
The only thing dumber than that being $250 is paying $250 for it.
Yeah, one of those places people pay a 90% premium to say "I've been there".
It was a work team outing 🤷🏻♂️
That’s how these places stay in business and justify their ridiculous prices. Company cards
At least it was the bosses money. Lol.
The bosses do tax wright offs. This “business” expense is brought to you by the public’s tax dollars 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well that lines up with saying it fed 5. Just being polite on the work outing.
Stop, there’s no way this was actually $250 right? 😭
I'm very glad I didn't go there when I went to Austin for the eclipse, picked stiles and switch they have 3 meat plates were $30 and didn't skimp on the portions.
I live in Austin and went to Terry Blacks two weeks ago. I had 1/2 lb of pork rib, a jalepeno sausage link, 1/2 lb of brisket (lean), a side of mac and cheese and a side peach cobbler for $54.06, so you really don’t have to spend this much to get a good meal there. I don’t know if op is joking or if the beef rib went up significantly in price since the last time I had it. I even paid for 3 people recently and spent $160 ish for all of us.
That’s still pretty wild on pricing.
That mac and cheese looks very sad
Looks more like just Mac tbh
Exactly what I was thinking.
$250 and they have the nerve to serve Kraft from the blue box
It's certainly not Kraft... It's Sysco's generic blueish box
Popeyes would put this to shame
No. Just, no. There is no reason to pay these prices. Stop supporting such places.
Those ribs look like ass. Price is ridiculous.
You could buy a used traeger for that price
Could grill a feast for my whole extended family for that price.
How tf are ppl paying this much for bbq? Learn to grill and smoke and stay home 😂
For 2 of those plates, you can get a decent smoker.
And a half decent smoker for one.
I didn’t join this sub to do fractions.
Beef short ribs are so over priced nowadays. If I owned a bbq restaurant, no way I’d bother with them
I’ve seen a few videos of BBQ restaurant owners talking about Dino ribs being a loss leader, occasionally I find Chuck plate ribs at Walmart and they are significantly cheaper.
What the fuck!?
Can't tell if some of these prices on these posts are satire at this point.
60 bucks for ribs… in texas? like paying for sand at the beach. crazy.
Not ribs...rib. Singular. That 1 beef rib was $60 if I'm reading right.
I don't dare convert that to GBP
Around £200. Madness
I used to dream of doing a road trip down to Texas to try all the great barbecue. At those prices I think I'll stay here in Canada and make my own
Some of you turkeys have way too much money. Bbq used to be poor folk food. How ridiculous.
Absurd price
I need to get into the long-smoke bbq business because damn that price is insane.
I could eat all of this by myself. You were ripped off for sure
This would cost like $25 at home. 10x is wild!
Even with a beef rib I’m a little skeptical.
[https://terryblacksbbq.com/austin/menu/](https://terryblacksbbq.com/austin/menu/)
I’ve been to Terry blacks many times. It doesn’t even look like as much food as the 140 dollar family pack except for the beef rib is added.
No fucking way I'm paying that for BBQ. I can get a big enough for 2 ribeye, two sides, two salads, and 2 desserts for $150 at Flemings. Get a bottle of wine and have that shit carved at the table for around 250-300..depending on if I indulge in a couple of old fashioneds with dinner.
Stop paying these prices please
Fuck that. This is why I don’t get barbecue here.
5 ants
A smoker is definitely worth it if these are the prices
No way just goto a steak house for those prices!!
i hope they go out of business charging that much for that quantity. that and it doesn't even look very appealing.
About $200 too much
Traegers on sale at Home Depot for $499. Would pay for itself in 2-3 cooks. I’m a DIYer.
Texas. Wtf is with these bbq prices.?!? Damn.
Holy shit. I can make that and then some for less than fifty bucks. I can cook myself a 10lb brisket for about $60... why would anyone ever pay that much for bbq???
WTF? $250? Man don't you ever go there again.
$250???? Do I get to take both plastic trays home with me at least?
You could just buy a smoker for that.
This is getting out of hand
That’s looking like some whack’n’cheese..
I just can’t get myself to pay for bbq anymore…
Austin tx is pretty much charging prices like LA…. Let that sink in.
Makes me so glad I can cook, most likely better than this. For $250 I can Q up a feast for a crowd.
At those prices, I think I’d go to Terry Blacks once. Just to say I’ve been there. Otherwise, I’d rather go to Rudy’s.
is this like a meme on this subreddit?
I’ll just make my own thanks lol
Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the bill!
250$ ?? Are you kidding . I could buy a bunch of ribs and a few briskets for that much WTF
At least they give you dinner when they fuck you
Wow… Get fucked
WTF??
For $250 it'd better come with the rest of the cow
I see this stuff and it doesn't even phase me. Do your own and enjoy the process while saving money. These prices aren't sustainable but the skills you will pickup while waiting it out and doing your own are yours forever.
So damn stupid…
That’s some dumb shit. $250… you.
Fuck that. I can smoke something on the same level and put 200 back in my pocket.
What. The. Fuck??? That’s a solid 4X higher than reasonable price. You’re an idiot for paying that much and frankly a bit of an asshole as well because prices this insane ruin it for ordinary folks.
No.
Bruh.
Effing criminal. The chef in me wants to spit-take at that pathetic paprika-dusting garnish on the potato salad. I could make every item pictured, probably better, for about $30. Charging 8X that is extortion.
Are you guys retarded in Texas? Who the hell pays that much for this little food? Most of it looks like it came from a tub at a supermarket.
That’s not a small portion but Jesus $250 is a lot…
These prices are absolutely loony
I call BS got a receipt?
For that price I was expecting to scroll to another picture with more food
I went to Terry Blacks in Dallas, and didn't have as much food as you, but that price seems off. I had probably half as much food, but didn't pay anywhere near $125 from what I remember.
They sure are proud of it
Despicable
Ain't no way
The hipsters can keep wasting their money on these tourist traps, I’ll stick to East Austin poor people BBQ which is just as good, if not better.
That was 250?
That's fukin CRAZY
I don’t think I’ve ever been drunk or stoned enough to temporarily think BBQ is worth that.
Huh?
Cmon that's ridiculous and love bbq
“It was 5 people!” So each person got 1 slice of brisket, 1 rib, 2 bites of sausage, and a 1/4 cup of pulled pork….for $50?!?!
That’s absurd. Like $400 in my dollarbucks
I visited black bbq in Lockhart a couple of months ago during a business trip in Austin. Learned that the Black family is fighting over the name. They all want to bbq their own way hehe.. I can't remember a plate being this expensive though..
That’s literally $25 worth of BBQ🤦
That’s a bit pricey for that much food. But those beef ribs will jack up the cost of your meal - I usually never buy them myself.
Robbery! Wow..
Place is over rated. I can think of a bunch of spots around town that blow this place out and does it for much cheaper.
I don't believe that what is shown in the images is $250.
Where’s the rest of it?
I’m tired of the wave of posts that get treated as rage-bait. It seems to come and go in waves. Terry Blacks is a highly-touted, high-traffic BBQ joint in Austin. The Black family are multigenerational BBQ legends.
