Bryan/College Station area? it looks scrumptious.
10+ out the door? That's a wait? Guessing you haven't heard of the line at Franklin bbq.
That’s kind of pricey. In that same are used to be a joint on OSR called Blue Moon BBQ near Hearn. If it’s still open I recommend it and prices are much lower. Small joint. Low overhead. Reasonable price and good Q.
For the record - the pictured tray was: 1lb Sliced brisket
1/2 lb Turkey
3 ribs
2 Serrano/ Oaxaca links
1 Beef link
...plus two sliced beef,sausage & pulled pork samiches (to go).

....
Total....wait for it

$103
I'm sure you misadded because I added that up and the most I can squeeze out of it about $48, toss in another $5 for 2x fountain drinks and a tip you are still less than $60, OK throw in pint of beans and slaw and call it $70.For the record - the pictured tray was: 1lb Sliced brisket

...but I'm only doing that once....
...Then I realized there was a similarly long line INSIDE the door. I'm too old for this.
Looks wondermous. Will have to try it next time I’m over that way.
Absolutely.... on both counts....
Had a conversation while waiting in line “...with people waiting so long...why don’t they expand...”
Well...my two cents is that they’re pretty sure (like the rest of us) 30-45 min waits for $30 ribs and $20/lb BBQ can’t possibly last...and even if it does, the owners may not want to keep doing this - might make more sense to sell the place. Expanding or add services with the expectation of proportionally increasing business is not likely a long term winner.
I heard a interview with Aaron Franklin once who basically said everybody he hires is a future competitor - they learn from him how to do it and then go open their own shop or trailer.
