The Saltlick

About 30 minutes from downtown Austin is The Saltlick, perhaps the world's top destination for barbecue lovers. The Saltlick is located in Driftwood, a small village in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, a land of green hills, hidden waterfalls and, of course, barbecue. If you pass through Texas, you simply can't miss it. The Saltlick is a partly open-air restaurant, something important when temperatures reach 100 + degrees in the summer. The meat is mainly beef and highlights are ribs, brisket, and sausage. Texas BBQ is unique: we cook it low and slow using lots of smoke and heat, not just fire.

Nothing says barbecue like a big pit full of smoked meat, pork and poultry. Located outside of Austin in the tiny town of Driftwood, Salt Lick is the ultimate in Texas experiences. Come hungry and leave happy!
