  • Barbecue and Texas are synonymous with each other, and one such place is above the rest. The Salt Lick, is a mecha for barbeque lovers. The Salt Licks now infamous barbecue pit, sits right at the front doors, welcoming patrons with its sweet smells of delicious pork ribs, beef tenderloin, pork sausage and more, all lathered in the Salt Licks signature sauce, its hard not to stare, and drool just a little. Health Beauty Life with Patrick Dockry got the opportunity to meet with owner Scott Roberts who's father started the Salt Lick to find out what makes the Salt Lick so good, almost a million people come every year to taste their savory BBQ.

    Been there in 2012, and i was blown away because of the taste..... it was so good..
    I do alot of cooking myself, i love to cook and i am a educated butcher with a passion for food, and it was a dream that came true by visiting The Salt Lick.
    10/10, if i ever come to Austin again, then i know where to go for dinner =)

    Nice to see a 'hands on' owner, not an absentee profiteer of what was done before him and by others. He knows everything about everything and is interested in it all, has a reason for everything. Very articulate, good humored, accessible gentleman. Good for him! Success deserved.

      @yupyup2761 Před 6 lety +1

      Warren J Brown the owner spends his time on the cellars getting drunk only to come back in the main building to drunkenly yell and fire employees. He is pleasant when he isn't drunk. He is also drinking/holding wine while the TV guy was eating his meal.

    • @UncleRichard.
      @UncleRichard. Před 6 lety +2

    Best Brisket Ive had was from The Salt Lick in Driftwood Texas. I ordered through GoldBelly and I received a 4lb Brisket, A large Bottle of BBQ Sauce and a generous amount of Smoke Sausage. All of it was an eye opener for me. Here in San Diego CA they dont have anything to compare to this Texas BBQ. Nothing comes close.

    @MisterWub Před 4 lety +2

    Went here about 9 years ago, well actually to the Round Rock location and thought it was really good. My cousin wanted to take us to Coopers but traffic on that Easter Sunday was terrible, so he reluctantly took us to Salt Lick instead. My cousin and the locals seemed to shit on Salt Lick and call it a tourist trap and pedestrian BBQ. Well that may be the case and yes over the years I've had better, but when you grow up in NYC and then move to Los Angeles, this place is food from god himself! When you drive up the aroma is mouth watering. I've had everything the host had and thought the pork ribs and sausage were the best. The sausage goes SOOO well with that bread and the BBQ sauce. I may have to mail order me some soon. Oh and the Pecan Pie...WOW!!

  • @Stittsy1963
    @Stittsy1963 Před 8 lety

    My family and I went there a few years ago and loved it! We got there early to make sure we had some place to sit and by the time we were ready to leave there was a line outside waiting to get into the dinning area. It was great! The employees even allowed me to take a tour of the pit because I mentioned I had an interest in learning how to smoke meats. I've been to the little restaurant at the Dallas airport, but to really appreciate their take on Texas BBQ, you need to eat at the original location. It was a nice drive too, so go there if you ever have the chance!

      @jw11432 Před 3 lety

      Yes sir. Texas is filled with so many different kinds of food. In most areas, you're going to find good BBQ across the state, that's a given. Go a little further east, closer to Louisiana and you'll find more cajun food that's just as good as NOLA's (because people from there move to Texas and bring their recipes with them). You can go further north to a town called Muenster and get some excellent German cuisine as the town is renowned for their German heritage. And don't get me started on the plethora of Tex-Mex options, as well as plenty of authentic Mexican food options. Of course the big draw of Texas is BBQ and Tex-Mex, but it's a huge state with much to offer. 10 countries: The Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Luxembourg and Hungary would all fit inside Texas.

    Had the pleasure of eating here a few years back. Great food and some pretty property. One issue with the video... Texans just don't know about and don't do burnt ends. It's a Kansas City treat. Where the gentleman in the video sliced is not the burnt end. But again, TX doesn't typically do them. Great place to eat. Everyone needs to go and to get a picture of that pecan fire in the dining room.
