Restaurant BBQ pricing

[100%TtId]

Just ate at a local BBQ joint and noticed they recently raised prices on take-out:

$27.50/lb for lean brisket
$21.00/lb German style sausage
$25.50/lb pork ribs

Are you seeing similar pricing?

Hell, there's places charging $38/lb for brisket. People have lost their minds.

All I know is everything keeps going up in price, especially food prices. Inflation is not under control.

It's not just BBQ places but that is where I have noticed the largest jumps at places I frequent. High prices are everywhere but I rather enjoy staying home to cook more.

Calf/cattle prices are very high. So is hay, fertilizer, cubes, tires, liquid feed, fencing, etc. I don’t blame the steak and bbq restaurants for price increases

I don’t buy bbq as much ans I did, but luckily have some venison for some of our Home cooked meals.

Yeah, it’s pretty good but not $21/lb good.

Prices going up and portions getting smaller.

For those prices on bbq, you're better off buying and smoking your own brisket.

[BTLowry]

Everything is going up

Bayoucat is spot on

[Throwin Darts]

The sausage price is extra crazy. For sausage.

I've seen some restaurants start selling meat by the 1/2 pound so it doesn't look as bad.

I have been telling people, it is cheaper to eat steak (depending on the steak of course) than brisket. But in defense of the BBQ places, I have seen some selling for $18/lb. That is cheap. By the time you buy a brisket, trim several lbs of fat, add your seasonings, etc. , it is not a cheap process.

That is why I smoke my own.

Cheese at Whataburger costs $.60 a slice. That is 75% margin just on buying a pack from HEB and selling it at $.60 a slice, much less the bulk discount Whataburger gets. So is it inflation or are a lot of restaurants just raising prices until people quit paying them?

This is true, but the employee putting the cheese on that burger makes $18.00 per hour.
