Salt Lick BBQ

$$ Fodor's Choice

Drawing Texans and visitors alike to the Hill Country since 1967, Salt Lick offers barbecue plates à la carte, but most folks opt for the family-style option, which comes with unlimited brisket, sausage, pork ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, and beans. You can BYOB or head to the adjacent Salt Lick Cellars to purchase beer and wine made from the estate’s own fruit (including a BBQ Red designed to accompany the food). It's located about 8 miles southeast of Dripping Springs.
