Oh man... I paid for a steak at a descent steakhouse about 4 yrs ago and I'm still pissed about it. It was the best filet on the menu and it was barely edible.
Some places like Ruth's Chris have good steaks but for the cost you could go buy some good steaks, a grill, propane tank, backup propane tank, beer, some sides, a little "kiss the chef" apron....
Don't forget a couple of good pops and some better company. Best steak I ever had was probably at my friend's house off his patio after some Two Hearted Ales and a job well done removing a bathtub. Close second(s) are up at my buddy's place on the Dead River Basin - gas grill porterhouses served on a paper plate with friends overlooking the sunset.
Absolutely agreed. It’s tough for me to eat BBQ and pay $$$$ when I know I probably won’t be blown away and it’s way cheaper(and enjoyable) to cook at home.
To be fair, cost of goods for a bakery are a lot less than meat. Bread/Good sourdough = flour, yeast, salt and water (without fats and additives)
Also a bakeries time for overnight proofing isn’t much more added cost than a typical restaurant having a walk-in.
A BBQ restaurant keeping a pit fired almost 24/7/365 is not even comparable in regards to cost
Hope that didn’t come off abrasive, just a thought that came to mind…
ETA: Grammar
Low-key feels like BBQ places these days just take the wallet out of your pocket and start beating the shit out of it spit on it and toss it back to you. You could buy 2 full briskets for that price tf lol. Maybe 3 if you find some crazy sale or markdown etc.
Funny enough, no. It feels like any other small market shop. There was one by my community college and it was so convenient. Cheap and huge portions and tastyyy. They’d rotate the main options and had subs everyday. Spaghetti one day then burgers then chicken then pulled pork. Half smoked chicken, 1/2 lb pulled pork sammich was $5. I need to stop in again 😅 the hood bbq joint where I live now is similiar with cheap prices and big portions you just can’t expect pleasantries 😂
No one else will, so I will.
I'm not going to weigh about whether the value for money is there or not because I'm not in the US and I can't speak for prices there BUT I can break down pricing for you.
Most restaurants (give or take a few percent) run on what we call the 30/30/30/10 rule
Goes like this; of net revenue coming in, the finances are broken down (again, give it take a few percent) as follows:
30% is your operating costs - rent, electricity, water, debit machines, repairs etc
30% is paying your staff
30% is cost of raw ingredients
10% is profit
So, if this BBQ platter is indeed worth its price, then there should be ~$30 in raw ingredients on that plate
I'll let you infer whatever you want from there
Obviously agree with you since this is pretty commonly known (or maybe I just think that because I spent my younger years in the kitchen).
Problem with BBQ places is it can take 8+ hours to cook some of the meats; even more depending on the method & cut. The great ones have someone come in super early to do it (and good ones have someone staying late the day before to do it). This definitely ups labor cost unless it's a family-run spot. Since BBQ has become more popular it definitely has increased the price of the raw meats a little bit as well (plus inflation, etc...).
All that being said this definitely costs way more than some great places I can find in AZ, TX, TN, or NC. However, I'm out in the Bay Area now and you'd be paying about $100 for this here unfortunately.
Works out to be almost $17 for each item on the tray. $17 each for Mac n Cheese, $17 for each of the 3 piles of meat, $17 for 3 corn breads. Seems excessive.
Sure! I’m Bill and I own SGWBBQ. No, it’s not, “Nashville” and I just didn’t put “Texas” on the sign and charge you more money for that so here we go…
That plate isn’t $100. It’s the Texas Trinity which is $85. It comes with one pound of American Waygu brisket from Black Hawk Farms (and with the way I’m slicing meat these days it’s probably more like 1.25-1.5 lbs), 1/2 rack of pork ribs, 2 sausage links and two scratch-made medium sides, pickles, pickled onions and Texas Toast (if you want). Looks like you added three pieces of cornbread at $1.25 a slice, making the pre-tax total of that order $88.75. That plate is actually four plates in one, coming in at an average of $22.18 per person pre tax and pre beverage. The price is on the menu before you order so it shouldn’t have been a surprise when you got to the register unless math and/or reading is hard. It has been a longstanding policy at SGWBBQ not to force food on people. Customers are completely at their discretion to order whatever they like on the menu.
I’m not going to go into a complete breakdown of the economics of BBQ in this forum but if you think this is too expensive, find something else on the menu that fits your budget or just go to McDonalds and get a McRib for $6.
We do good work and charge a fair price for what we do and how we do it.
I’m at the shop every single day if any of y’all would like to discuss in more detail just what it takes to do what we do.
Toodles!
Bill
No problem. I’m not trying to be petty here. We bust our collective asses at SGWBBQ to bring what we believe is the best BBQ this side of Beaumont. I’m happy to answer any questions any of y’all have about BBQ and why I charge what I do. If you ever feel like you didn’t get what you paid for at SGWBBQ, let me know and I’ll fix it.
I've worked in the industry most of my life. The fact is if you're sourcing quality ingredients and using top tier techniques, making everything in house, the prices will reflect that. And at an average of 23 bucks a plate you're honestly giving people a deal. Lots of folks don't appreciate what goes into quality food and service, from the bills to sourcing your wood to keeping great staff. Kudos to you, this seems fair.
1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb sausage, 1 lb pork ribs, 1 lb Mac salad, 3 servings cornbread, and two burnt ends.
The price of a whole prime brisket, pork butt, rib rack and fuel to burn is the same cost as this plate.
I'm from Denver and just visited my sister in Nashville a few weeks back.
She said she was thinking about taking me and our dad to Shotgun Willie's for father's day, and I didn't know what to say.
We ended up going to a pool party that day instead.
What he didn't say is how flavorless it is. I've eaten there 3 times and it was super mid. The sausage is the only good thing there. That mac n cheese is blander than bland
Bro, that better not be mac n cheese in the pic. PLEASE tell me, for my southern heart, they are calling that pasta salad. I can see the pasta, that's not mac n cheese
Like I said. The sausage is good. Me and my cousins went, got this same platter. We Were blown away by how expensive it was. Also pretty flavorless especially. Also got a long black hair in my brisket. Way overpriced for mid bbq. But good jalapeño cheddar sausage
Do you not know people that live to be disappointed?
My mother goes to the same diner every week. And every week she complains about the food, the service, or both. She literally is only happy when she is unhappy.
To be fair if you take one look at this image (and have grown up with an ounce of Southern/soul in your body) you should absolutely know that Mac n Cheese is gonna suck.
Oh man I used to love it. When he first started I used to go a good bit. It was pricey but to me it was better than any brisket I had in KC. Haven’t been in a while since I moved across town
ive seen beef ribs going for $25 a rib in a lot of Texas bbq places. i agree it's a ripoff and it fucking sucks but too many places are selling overpriced bullshit like this in big cities.
Thanks for saving me the trip down there, I thought that the $13 pulled pork sandwich at Chiefs on Broadway was too much, but it was on Broadway and at least it was pretty good.
Lol what the fuck... I'm guessing this is sarcastic, but it's a bizarre thing for a restaurant operator to ever say. If I read this sarcastically, it's like you're publicly bragging that the restaurant isn't successful.
I ate there with my dad a few years ago right about when Covid started to cause pricing on food (and especially at restaurants) to go crazy. When we went inside to order, there was a small sign on the wall explaining that they could no longer get their meat cheap enough to be profitable and they would unfortunately need to raise their prices. We both thought the brisket was honestly really good, but we paid closer to $50 for two full plates/sides/drinks…
The right side of that tray costs pennies. Corn bread and macaroni salad and pickles? The two sausages maybe 5-10? Which means you paid roughly $85-90 for some meat the size of your hand. No.
Seeing what all these people are spending for BBQ makes me really wanna start selling mine.
Not saying that mine is better or even as good, but if people are happy to spend 100 on that, I could put out a plate they'd be thrilled to spend 50-75 on.
Yeah, that pricing is stupid…at least I don’t see 6 slices of white bread like I do on so many posts. I never saw white bread slices at any BBQ joint ever until I started following this sub. I’ll never understand that shit.
That cannot possibly be more than $50 worth of food right there. And I am giving the benefit of the doubt at that. If I walked into a causual BBQ place and saw that dinner for 2 for $100, I would be walking out.
They literally slapped down a bunch of fillers like cornbread and macaroni salad so the customer feels full and that it was a good value. Meanwhile, they've skimped on the good stuff despite charging wildly high prices.
These recent posts and their prices are insane to me.
It probably cost them $9 to make that too. This is why I don’t eat out anymore. I upgraded my grill and got myself a pizza oven. Boom, after some practice I’m outputting the same quality stuff as restaurants at a fraction of the price. And in less time I’d take to drive somewhere, wait 20 min to get seated even though I had a reservation, eat and then overpay for everything and go home.
Wow, again with these exorbitant prices, another post today paid $110 for a similar tray. Please tell me, how was it, and did you atleast get an alcoholic drink with it?
I don’t care how good the food tastes. I’m downvoting any post here advertising platters going for $100 or more. This trend needs to end. This plate should be $50 max.
This is Black Hawk Farms American Wagyu brisket - https://www.blackhawkmeats.com. I'm local to Nashville and this is by far the best brisket in Nashville. Light years ahead of anything from Martin's, Peg Leg, Edley's, etc.
This is also the most expensive thing on the menu. You can walk out of there for under $20 very easily.
Like normal on reddit, people take one look at a picture with no context and rush to judgement - nearly universally negative, uninformed judgement.
Feels like you can’t walk out the door without dropping $100 - dafaq
for the low low price of $100, you TOO can come get robbed at gunpoint by Shotgun Willie in exchange for bland ass looking sides + dry meat!!
they should offer the ability to eat for free for life if you can swallow one bite of that cornbread without taking a drink
To be fair, the cornbread is more moist than their brisket. Damn cows they pull from must fart dust.
I agree based on just the meat alone it's a fucking rip off .
How you think he got the name 'Shotgun Willie'??
🤣🤣🤣
This is why I haven't eaten a steak outside my house in years. It's like..... "do I really want to work for 5 hours for 10 mins of pleasure?"
Oh man... I paid for a steak at a descent steakhouse about 4 yrs ago and I'm still pissed about it. It was the best filet on the menu and it was barely edible. Some places like Ruth's Chris have good steaks but for the cost you could go buy some good steaks, a grill, propane tank, backup propane tank, beer, some sides, a little "kiss the chef" apron....

Absolutely agreed. It’s tough for me to eat BBQ and pay $$$$ when I know I probably won’t be blown away and it’s way cheaper(and enjoyable) to cook at home.
How is that $100? Break it down for me
It’s in Nashville and they put the word Texas on the sign. BBQ joints have gotten out of control with their prices.
I was meaning is that a La carte pricing? How much for each type of meat and sides
Texas Trio. A sample of everything.
Went to Terry Black's in Dallas and paid $50 for a couple ribs, brisket and a couple sides. It's insane what they charge for just decent bbq.
Especially considering how cheap it is to make. I can usually find Boston Butt for $1.49/lb, this week it’s on sale for $.99/lb.
Look I'm not supporting huge BBQ prices, but 12 hours' labor plus the increasingly common overnight hold adds more than just "cost of meat".
I wouldn’t really call that “labor” lol. The baker is up at 4am to start baking but you don’t see a loaf of bread cost $70
To be fair, cost of goods for a bakery are a lot less than meat. Bread/Good sourdough = flour, yeast, salt and water (without fats and additives) Also a bakeries time for overnight proofing isn’t much more added cost than a typical restaurant having a walk-in. A BBQ restaurant keeping a pit fired almost 24/7/365 is not even comparable in regards to cost Hope that didn’t come off abrasive, just a thought that came to mind… ETA: Grammar
You’re right but these BBQ prices are still insane. It’s all marketing convincing people that they have the “best” BBQ.
12 hrs of cooking not labor lol.
Yes. It is. It is actually 12 people work 24 hours for a cook at our place for just lunch service. Also brisket has gone up since 2015 x 400%
Shotgun Willie is that you? If so, why did you rob OP?
Still not even close to justifying the price.
Except he is a Texan with EXCELLENT BBQ. PS. Shit cost him a lot to buy today with over 3,000 new BBQ joints since the 2011 frenzy began
How many alt accounts are you going to make today Bill?
Nah, it's because a "pit master" wearing black food server gloves cooked it.
Low-key feels like BBQ places these days just take the wallet out of your pocket and start beating the shit out of it spit on it and toss it back to you. You could buy 2 full briskets for that price tf lol. Maybe 3 if you find some crazy sale or markdown etc.
1.87 a pound at grocery store right now with loyalty card and digital coupon. It's choice beef
I like going to Amish places here in the Midwest. Not really know for barbecue but you’d need a truck to take home $100 worth of food 😂
I imagine they're cash only?
Pinch of gold dust.
Funny enough, no. It feels like any other small market shop. There was one by my community college and it was so convenient. Cheap and huge portions and tastyyy. They’d rotate the main options and had subs everyday. Spaghetti one day then burgers then chicken then pulled pork. Half smoked chicken, 1/2 lb pulled pork sammich was $5. I need to stop in again 😅 the hood bbq joint where I live now is similiar with cheap prices and big portions you just can’t expect pleasantries 😂
If they fill up my plate they can pull my pants down and spank me
No one else will, so I will. I'm not going to weigh about whether the value for money is there or not because I'm not in the US and I can't speak for prices there BUT I can break down pricing for you.

Does milk cost the same as toothpaste? Please find my breakdown of this somewhere else in this thread.
Toothpaste is way more expensive.
Gallon of milk = 4 days. Gallon of toothpaste = 40 years.

Toodles! Bill
85+tax easily gets rounded up.
yeah i was gonna say, this isn't OP being disingenuous IMO.
$88.75 + Nashville Sales Tax is $96.96 Everyone is calling that $100
Plus pre drink like Bill said so basically 100
This is the answer I was looking for! Thank you Bill!!
No problem. I’m not trying to be petty here. We bust our collective asses at SGWBBQ to bring what we believe is the best BBQ this side of Beaumont. I’m happy to answer any questions any of y’all have about BBQ and why I charge what I do. If you ever feel like you didn’t get what you paid for at SGWBBQ, let me know and I’ll fix it.

Lots of folks don't appreciate what goes into quality food and service, from the bills to sourcing your wood to keeping great staff. Kudos to you, this seems fair.
So it is $111 bucks with tax and tip, unless you are one of the very few that do no tipping. Got it, OP was shortchanging the price by 11%
Can you please go into detail on how you make the macaroni? Flour, water, eggs? The amount of time to roll each one out, might justify the cost.
it's most certainly not. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/TyRqUAN3S9qrTBiE9?g\_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TyRqUAN3S9qrTBiE9?g_st=ac)
1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb sausage, 1 lb pork ribs, 1 lb Mac salad, 3 servings cornbread, and two burnt ends. The price of a whole prime brisket, pork butt, rib rack and fuel to burn is the same cost as this plate.
Very different than $100 at Shotgun Willie's in Denver.
I'm from Denver and just visited my sister in Nashville a few weeks back. She said she was thinking about taking me and our dad to Shotgun Willie's for father's day, and I didn't know what to say. We ended up going to a pool party that day instead.
Best money you never spent. Wise choice.
Which one beats the other’s meats?
In Denver you do that yourself.
That would barely cover the antibiotics
Came here to say this exactly lol
Ahhhh, the Glendale Ballet.
You got finessed bro
What he didn't say is how flavorless it is. I've eaten there 3 times and it was super mid. The sausage is the only good thing there. That mac n cheese is blander than bland
Bro, that better not be mac n cheese in the pic. PLEASE tell me, for my southern heart, they are calling that pasta salad. I can see the pasta, that's not mac n cheese
I appreciate your sharing your personal experience, but why did you go there 2 more times? lol
Like I said. The sausage is good. Me and my cousins went, got this same platter. We Were blown away by how expensive it was. Also pretty flavorless especially. Also got a long black hair in my brisket. Way overpriced for mid bbq. But good jalapeño cheddar sausage
You must have more money than you know what to do with
I’m not trying to be hostile but either he’s rich or he has bad spending habits if he went back there 2 more times😂
“Blown away by how expensive it was” “Pretty flavorless” “Long black hair in my brisket” “Way overpriced for mid bbq” *goes back multiple times*
I only got the platter once. Never again. The sausages are 5 buck
Do you not know people that live to be disappointed? My mother goes to the same diner every week. And every week she complains about the food, the service, or both. She literally is only happy when she is unhappy.
To be fair if you take one look at this image (and have grown up with an ounce of Southern/soul in your body) you should absolutely know that Mac n Cheese is gonna suck.
wait, that's Mac n cheese? i thought it was some dry ass macaroni salad
That has to be macaroni salad
Me too!
Oh man I used to love it. When he first started I used to go a good bit. It was pricey but to me it was better than any brisket I had in KC. Haven’t been in a while since I moved across town
These have to be bait posts at this point. There’s no way man
bbq in big cities is just expensive now y'all. i don't know why everyone seems surprised
Man this isn’t expensive this is just getting ripped off
ive seen beef ribs going for $25 a rib in a lot of Texas bbq places. i agree it's a ripoff and it fucking sucks but too many places are selling overpriced bullshit like this in big cities.
People who don't know the difference pay it regardless, lots of people who don't know the first thing about food out there.
You guys should check the other post where an OP paid $300 for a spread.
That was crazy. It looked good but dam $300…..come on now
Totally agree.
So many people were defending that price and it’s the total opposite on this one but the same subreddit. What’s going on lol
Thanks for saving me the trip down there, I thought that the $13 pulled pork sandwich at Chiefs on Broadway was too much, but it was on Broadway and at least it was pretty good.
Not in the same gallaxy. This is BBQ pictured
I need to get a trailer offset and head down to Nashville. These prices…
You should see the pillow made of money I rest my head on every night! Get on down here before it’s too late!
Lol what the fuck... I'm guessing this is sarcastic, but it's a bizarre thing for a restaurant operator to ever say. If I read this sarcastically, it's like you're publicly bragging that the restaurant isn't successful.
How is it though
You really like Mac salad huh
I might go 45. I’m getting tired of seeing who can get away with charging the most for a plate of BBQ. I’m outta here.
BBQ prices have officially reached seafood level. And they’re both ridiculous
100 US dollars??
I ate there with my dad a few years ago right about when Covid started to cause pricing on food (and especially at restaurants) to go crazy. When we went inside to order, there was a small sign on the wall explaining that they could no longer get their meat cheap enough to be profitable and they would unfortunately need to raise their prices. We both thought the brisket was honestly really good, but we paid closer to $50 for two full plates/sides/drinks…
Jesus Christ. $100 for that is crazy.
$100!? No thanks
Next time drive the extra couple of hours to Memphis for real bbq that you’ll spend a fraction of the cost on.
Good Texas brisket is $36 lb
You got ripped off.
That mac n cheese looks 🤮
That’s because it’s not Mac and cheese
Every single post like that has me asking what the fuck is wrong with people actively posting about getting ripped off.
Thats crazy
The right side of that tray costs pennies. Corn bread and macaroni salad and pickles? The two sausages maybe 5-10? Which means you paid roughly $85-90 for some meat the size of your hand. No.
Seeing what all these people are spending for BBQ makes me really wanna start selling mine. Not saying that mine is better or even as good, but if people are happy to spend 100 on that, I could put out a plate they'd be thrilled to spend 50-75 on.
Shotgun Willie's is a strip club where I'm from
Yeah, I've spent well over $500 just on myself at the one in Denver.
Wayyyyy overpriced
Ripoff
100 for that ??? USA is just a sick country…
Hundred bucks for that slop? Wow. Place is as forgettable as bbq gets
All these people are marks and are screwing it up for the rest of us.
you can buy the whole damn pig for 100 bucks
you're paying way too much for pigs, who's your pig guy?
This trash price gouging makes me so happy to blow a small fortune on perfecting smoking at home.
Gat-dayum
That's insane. I could just about eat that myself.
Yeah, that pricing is stupid…at least I don’t see 6 slices of white bread like I do on so many posts. I never saw white bread slices at any BBQ joint ever until I started following this sub. I’ll never understand that shit.
LOL
Damn, did it come with an HJ?
Not worth a hundo
This place has a tourist trap premium in there.
Way too much $. Should be $60 max.
Half that!!
Did you at least get to sit around in your underwear?
Got make it at home, Sundays are good for making some good homemade BBQ
That cannot possibly be more than $50 worth of food right there. And I am giving the benefit of the doubt at that. If I walked into a causual BBQ place and saw that dinner for 2 for $100, I would be walking out.
I live in Nashville & bbq is fucking way easy to find for under $40 a meal. This person is a gullible tourist dumbass.
Hell most of the other tourist trap BBQ places are better and half the price...
$100 at Shotgun Willie's, ≈$18 at my house.
That's like a $30 platter, wtf
Glad to know I will never be eating from there!
Not paying a dollar over 30. If y'all argue it, you're horribly brainwashed.
Willie must've put it to your head to pay for that
Wtf
Double the food and it might be worth that price. Might….
😬
Give me 100$ and I would cook you a feast
Damn I realized I can’t afford BBQ. If that is supposed to feed four ppl. I would still be hungry after eating that.
Oh hell no.
Why would you buy this? Seriously
They do know the need to put cheese in that Mac and Cheese?
That appears to be macaroni salad judging by the little red bits
That is some dry ass brisket
Nope, not in a million years am I paying $100 for that.
Wildly overpriced
Finessed
Shotgun Willie's is a strip club in Colorado.
You get more for your money at Shotgun Willie’s in Glendale, CO and that’s not even a BBQ joint
The one in Madison? How is it?
Their Denver location is def a little bit different…
What a rip!
It looks good. How many of you did this tray serve?
That picture is 40 buck worth of food max. They charge 100 because idiots will pay it
I have $3…….
$100…… 🤣
Not worth $35…
They literally slapped down a bunch of fillers like cornbread and macaroni salad so the customer feels full and that it was a good value. Meanwhile, they've skimped on the good stuff despite charging wildly high prices. These recent posts and their prices are insane to me.
It probably cost them $9 to make that too. This is why I don’t eat out anymore. I upgraded my grill and got myself a pizza oven. Boom, after some practice I’m outputting the same quality stuff as restaurants at a fraction of the price. And in less time I’d take to drive somewhere, wait 20 min to get seated even though I had a reservation, eat and then overpay for everything and go home.
Why are people paying that much??? I mean seriously
I'm gonna start buying the $8 slabs of ribs at Costco and run a BBQ joint out of my backyard with my pit boss, I'll be rich
Yeah I'll smoke my own 14lb brisket I paid $55 for
You got RIPPPPED bro 😂
You got hosed
wtf are these insane bbq prices
What is happening with these prices?!
That looks like dog shit
$100 lol
Drive through the hood. I bet you can find a lot better BBQ for a lot less money in someones front yard.
That's the name of a strip club in Denver, so I kind of did a double take before I read the Nashville part 😂
Lol that's insane pricing
FRIG DAT!!!! and Wally-world mac salad to boot!
Dunno that better be the best fucking bbq at that price
Dang it’s getting expensive.
You got robbed.
I call bullshit. Post pic of receipt 😂
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Naw
No bargain there.
Lmaaao people getting ROBBED!!! Hahahaha
That’s about $140 in Canadian dollary-doos. No fucking way I would pay that much for a spread that looks like that.
You meant to say $20, yeah?
lol bbq prices are getting out of control
Nashville needs to settle tf down.
I don't know a single person that lives in Nashville and still goes here. There are so many better options.
Wow, again with these exorbitant prices, another post today paid $110 for a similar tray. Please tell me, how was it, and did you atleast get an alcoholic drink with it?
Bbq restaurants seem to be the biggest scams cost wise for sure
I don't know why people eat out anymore. Gigity.
Ain't no way that is $100
40 would be pushing it
This is EXACTLY the reason we don't eat out. And, besides that, I always say, I can cook better than they can anyway. That's robbery.
I don’t care how good the food tastes. I’m downvoting any post here advertising platters going for $100 or more. This trend needs to end. This plate should be $50 max.
50 Canadian is fair
I hope you got a kiss...
This is Black Hawk Farms American Wagyu brisket - https://www.blackhawkmeats.com. I'm local to Nashville and this is by far the best brisket in Nashville. Light years ahead of anything from Martin's, Peg Leg, Edley's, etc. This is also the most expensive thing on the menu. You can walk out of there for under $20 very easily. Like normal on reddit, people take one look at a picture with no context and rush to judgement - nearly universally negative, uninformed judgement.
Pickle slices for $100??? Nothing less than 2 FULL pickles for $50.
I wouldnt pay $50 for this.
