What People Are Saying About Salt Lick Bbq

In Short – The wooden tables and benches outside are lined with locals treating out-of-town guests to a real taste of Texas. The native stone and cedar building, like the food itself, is rustic and welcoming. The dark-banded brisket is moist and tender, the pork ribs are lean, the turkey breast stands up to its meaty competitors and a slightly sweet BBQ sauce finishes with a hint of honey mustard. You can order family-style, by the plate or sandwich.

Great Sauce
by marydavis at Citysearch
Salt Lick has a distinct sauce which I love which is their biggest plus for me. I had their pork ribs (they don't offer beef) which were quite good. I went on a Saturday evening and it was CROWDED. Very long wait so if you don't like waiting 45 minutes or so you might want to avoid Salt Lick. The place is very large with 2-3 different eating areas which are all used on busy days. Attracts many students and large groups, you'll see lots of parties of 8-12 people. You also need to BYOB and many people have large ice chests with them.
- Pros: The Sauce
- Cons: Crowded On Weekends

Not worth the hype!
by Martyn at Citysearch
Drove up from Houston because of the hype surrounding this place. The location, including the scenic drive are great. The building itself is pretty cool. I was having a great time until the food arrived.
Sides - Dry and in editable. The beans where hard, the colslaw had saw too much celery and the potato salad was like nothing I'd ever had.
Meat - The ribs are not baby backs so beware. Personal choice but I like my ribs saucy, tender and not fatty. Salt Lick's were none of the above. The brisket and turkey where tasty at first but very dry.
Also - no credit card ($2.50 for ATM), min charge of $5, 15% charge for parties 8+ and various other rules.
- Pros: Locations and general setting outstanding
- Cons: Food was simple aweful
