18300 FM 1826 · Driftwood, TX
Why you should go…
The Salt Lick has been smoking brisket, sausage, and pork ribs over an open oak pit in Driftwood since 1967, using recipes the Roberts family traces back generations. The original location is BYOB and serves family-style platters in a sprawling wooded compound south of Austin. It draws a steady weekend crowd, so expect a wait.
