Ever since the first day I arrived in Texas, all I heard from people was 'If you want BBQ, you have to try Salt Lick!'. Fine, my first year is almost up and we decided to trek a fair bit from Austin (where we live) to Driftwood to get the feel of 'real' Texas barbecue.
Farm atmosphere in Driftwood
BBQ of Texas country style
It has never came across my mind that the mission of The Salt Lick BBQ was an adventure, passing through cowboy land where signposts of wild animal are prominent and I did not even realize when we arrived. Guess what, the place was not what I expected. Nothing luxury, everything is back to basic!
Huge BBQ pit
Smoke is in the air!
Oak wood gives fantastic flavor
Nestled against the country ranches, The Salt Lick BBQ holds a charming farm atmosphere. Parking area occupies the area behind. Rustic wood structure with triangle roof-top on one end is where the restaurant or indoor dining area is located. Opposite is an open space with wood benches and tables, serves a great waiting corner as s well as the spot for picnic-style dining 'The Salt Lick BBQ' (to-go) and BYOB. At the same time, you would be entertained by live country music. This feature tends to let us forget about how long we had waited since we were there on the Independence's Day weekend!
Appealing Pecan Pie
Bar-B-Que like no other!
In less than 30 minutes, our turn was called and we headed into the rustic building. Oh my, the huge traditional BBQ pit is right after the entrance, behind the counter. With the smoke from open fire oak, appealing aroma in the air and the sight of sausages, briskets and ribs lying on the pit, I am convinced that this is right place for Texas BBQ!
Ribs, turkey and brisket
I went for a platter of combo meat with my choice of brisket, ribs and turkey in order to save some room for dessert.
Sausages, brisket and turkey
I am never a big fan of barbecue but I would say the turkey is lean as of what I love especially with plenty of The Salt Lick sauce. Brisket is moist which means a bit too fatty for me, I would prefer it lean (something I overlooked, I should have told the server my preference). Sausages (from my SO's platter) is good but the pork ribs is just fine. What I love most? Surprisingly, it is their signature sauce. I have never had enough of it!
Mixed raspberry and peach cobbler with ice-cream
For cobbler, we asked for a mixed of raspberry and peach with ice-cream. Served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream, it is a great choice and how I wish I have more room for it!
