Been wanting to go for a few years and never made it happen. Plan on making the trip with my daughters in a couple weeks. What's the best way to make sure to get bbq before it's gone? Other than getting there at 5am

Any other secrets I should know? Might head up to Brett's backyard bbq as well.

Pretty sure you can place an order earlier in the week and show up on Saturday to pick it up. Last time I went and stood in line Kerry gave me a card and said just order in advance.

That's right. I remember reading that here one time. Is it worth the "experience" to take a chair and hang out?

If you order in advance, the BBQ isn't sliced.

Friend & I did it on our way to a game a couple of years ago. We brought utensils to slice brisket and ate at a park in Lexington.

I will say, that was the second time I had Snow's, the first was awesome, the second was tasteless. It was my friend's first time, and I could see the disappointment with the first bite. The meat was very tender, just no flavor.

If you order in advance you have to take it elsewhere. Can't eat it there.

Dozen folks were already waiting in line at midnight

Wasn't the most folks that I've seen there today but still a pretty good line at 8:30 this morning

I got there about 6, and there were 10-12 people in line ahead of me. It was worth the wait.

Every time I have made the drive and arrive around 8AM, it has been 10,000,000,000% worth the wait.

Okay. Your percentage convinced me! Will be there.

I'd say definitely be in line by 6am to ensure having a shot at everything on the menu. Snows is great, I really enjoy it every time I go.

So if you get there at 6:00, what time do you eat? I love bbq, but having it for breakfast isn't as appealing as lunch or later.

Called Kerry earlier in the week and picked up yesterday for lunch. Brisket was great. Got there about 11 am and the line was wrapped back around the building

Someone always voices this concern. Don't worry after a few hours of being in line talking about and smelling amazing bbq, and drinking beer, you'll be ready for brisket by 9am

FWIW I went at 8am three years ago and ate at noon. So if you extrapolate that you may be eating around 9am I'd you got there at 6?

I don't get it. There are so many great BBQ places, why the hell would anyone go stand in line at midnight, just to eat BBQ for BREAKFAST?

It's insane.

Second, if a BBQ joint sells out in four hours, why open at 8 am? Why not open at noon and close at 4? BBQ is not a breakfast food.

And if you're drinking at 8 am, you're an alkie.

I guess I have been super lucky every time I go. I get there about 8:30 or 9 and there is never more than 10-15 people in line. Always get brisket, sausage and ribs.

Gone about 5 times over the last 8 years or so. Never got there at weird or ridiculous times (10 am earliest probably) and they were never out of the main meats nor did I have to wait longer than 30 minutes.

Not saying my experience is the norm, but I'm always surprised to hear people say how early they went when I've never had to.

When was the most recent time? My guess is not since the Netflix special. People line up at 7-8pm the night before now. Line can be 100 people deep by 7am unless it's really poor weather.

I've been 3-4 times between 2013-2018 and would get there around 8-9am and be able to eat at a decent time, but it's a different ballgame now and the main reason I haven't been back. Getting there at 10 probably means not eating or limited selection by the time you get there.

My son and I did a BBQ tour last summer. We got to Snow's at 0745. We were numbers 230 & 231 in line. Kerry said the previous week they ran out of brisket at like person 245. When we were inside paying, a guy brought in a brisket and said it was the last one.

I'm pretty close to it, and heard about it right when it was "discovered" and before it blew up into long waits a few years back. Shoulda took advantage of that more.

It's insane.

Damn straight

Good idea

Now wait just a minute, buddy! How can you drink all day if you don't start at sunrise?

Sometimes it's the journey not the finish that makes the story worth telling years from now.

Gentle reminder to never take directions from Collard Greens on the way to Snow's.

Put me in the minority, but I think Snows is overrated.

I've been multiple times. Shown up at 8:30 and been about 130 in line and shown up at 7:30 and been under the cover.

We went last year after they opened back up. Got there about 7:30 and there were several hundred there already with multiple large RVs parked up and down the street. There were clearly people who showed up the night before. We turned around, came home and had migas.

Couple of months back the first group got there a little after midnight and were eating 8:30ish I think.

Get there at 6:00 and you will be eating around 12:30 or 1:00. Any later than that and you risk running out of some meats!

*You could get lucky and "win" the magic pass to move you up 75 spots in line

Go early with friends and make it an event!
