If you love Texas barbecue but don’t have the patience to wait hours in line for some of the best of the best, you’re in luck.
In May it was announced that Burnt Bean Co. had partnered with GoldBelly to ship Texas’ No. 1 barbecue across the country, freeing up fans from waiting over three hours in line. Well, GoldBelly sells a handful of Texas barbecue joints famed across the state for their smoked meats. If you want it shipped to your door, here’s how much it’ll cost you.
If you’re wanting to sample a bit of everything, be it brisket, sausage, ribs, turkey, etc., it’s gonna cost you but there are plenty of options and they usually come with add-ons like sauces, card games or merch.
Prices for some of those samplers range from $499.95 at Franklin Barbecue in Austin to the “Taste of Hurtado” BBQ Sampler for $229.95. How much you pay and how much you get is going to vary from place to place.
Most barbecue joints offer a whole brisket, usually surpassing $200. The “Thurman’s Pride” smoked beef brisket at Salt Lick BBQ costs $179.95, while Terry Black’s’ whole smoked brisket rings up at $249.95.
Other prices include $269.95 at Franklin, $119.95 at Davila’s BBQ in Seguin, $204.95 at Roegels Barbecue in Houston, $229.95 at Hurtado Barbecue in Arlington and $249.95 for the “Texas Monthly No. 1 BBQ Brisket” at Snow’s in Lexington.
If you’re craving dino ribs, they’re sold at Hutchins BBQ ($229.95), Terry Black’s Barbecue ($229.95), Louie Mueller Barbecue ($199.95) and Black’s Barbecue ($155.95). Opting for traditional pork ribs, prices range from $69.95 at Black’s Barbecue to $209.95 at Terry Black’s.
Sausages are available in traditional Texas smoked flavors and jalapeno and cheddar options. Hutchins BBQ in McKinney has the best deal, offering both versions of the sausage for $99.95, or a combination of the two flavors also for $99.95. Seems like an easy choice.
Turkey can often make or break a barbecue joint. If the place has good turkey, the rest is probably just as good. Hopefully the same applies for delivered meats.
As far as cost, prices can go as low as $69.95 at Black’s Barbecue, all the way up to $169.95 at Snow’s and Louie Mueller.
Per GoldBelly’s site, most ‘cue ships “frozen with ice packs.” You’ll want to be home at the time of delivery because the site cautions your package “may thaw in transit.”
Once you have your barbecue goodies in hand, you’ll want to “store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months,” per the purveyor.
