The place is busy, since it is an Austin institution, so I wasn't surprised at or annoyed at the wait. What did surprise me was what I was waiting for-- the food was just so not worth the wait or the drive for...

I am of the meat-eating ilk, hell, I am from Chicago. But I don't LOVE meat. The only place I can devour it like nobody's business is here at Salt Lick. The best things here are: 1. the blackberry…

What can I really say that hasn't been said already? The Sauce was amazing. The meat was perfect.

In one of my previous reviews, I spoke about my passion for BBQ. So I will not go into it here. Also. Let me explain, I have been going to the Salt Lick for a long long time. I think the first time I…

Salt Lick is the best BBQ I've ever had and I doubt anything will surpass this place anytime soon. While I was in Austin, I jumped at every opportunity to go to this insanely delicious bbq place. I…

One word describes Salt Lick....g-r-e-a-s-e. Great flavor, but all meats are greasy; which is better than too dry. The ribs are the worst. Sauce is "different" but good; more like a Tennessee or Georgia sauce....

I just don't get it. OK, it's a fun place because of the atmosphere. And it's nice to BYOB with no corkage fee, but the food leaves a LOT to be desired in my opinion. When I go for 'q, I have two…

This is the third WORST BBQ I've ever eaten! Having read 23 positive reviews here at YELP, my honey and I decided to give it a try Saturday, 5-5-07. The drive was beautiful as everything is still…

The best BBQ in the Austin area, even though it's 30 minutes away. It's the best not only because of the quality of the meats, but because of the overall experience -- you get planted at indoor…

Half of Texas BBQ is the atmosphere, and The Salt Lick does that really well. They used to do it better before it became such a hot-spot, and now it's a bit touristy, but still an experience. That…

my favorite bbq place ever! it has the right atmosphere, the right pie, and the right smoked meat! their sauce is more of a mustard-based sauce, so if you go more for the tomato-base kind, then this…

Spare yourself from the new Salt Lick 360 or the one inside the Austin Airport, this is the real deal. This is where the cowboys go. Or at least, that's what it looks like down at this ranch! Be…

5 grilled, meaty, sauce-covered stars. We drove through dark, torrential rains and lightning to get from Austin to Driftwood. Our driver was none to experienced with driving a minivan and we nearly…

I'm a Chicago girl by birth (and live just outside Chicago currently), but I lived in Austin for 6 years. Went to school there, met my husband there, got married there and discovered REAL barbecue…

Sauce: on the very sweet side. Honey-based? Brisket: Fairly high-quality. If you go family style, help me with an experiment: does it seem like the second-and-subsequent servings of brisket you get…

The Salt Lick may not have the best BBQ in the area - locals seem to swear by the joints in Luling or Llano - and originally being from Tennessee, I've been engineered/brainwashed/blessed to realize…
