1️⃣ Franklin Barbecue - "Best BBQ in the Galaxy" 🌌🍖 📍 900 E 11th St • Beef brisket ($39/lb): Melt-in-your-mouth magic 🤤 • Pork ribs ($34): Fall-off-the-bone perfection • Pro tip: Went at 1PM in rain → *only 20-min wait!* (Normally 3+ hrs) • Hidden gem: $7 chop beef sandwich = overstuffed with love 2️⃣ Texas State Capitol 🤠⭐ 📍 1100 Congress Ave • Free tours (crowded but worth it) • Fun fact: Dome has a *14-ft Lone Star* ⭐ 3️⃣ UT Austin 🎓📸 📍 2515 Speedway • Overhyped? Just snapped the tower & left 😅 4️⃣ South Congress Ave 🛍️ • King Ranch store: Texas-chic clothing (same as Fort Worth) • Verdict: Cute but not as vibey as Fort Worth’s yards #AustinEats #TexasTravel #BBQPilgrimage
