Salt Lick BBQ is a delightful treasure that's more than worth a visit. This down-to-earth, rustic spot serves some of the most authentic, mouth-watering barbecues I've ever had. The brisket is heavenly--smoky, tender, and perfectly seasoned, while the ribs are succulent and fall-off-the-bone good. Don't forget to try their unique mustard-based sauce; it's an unexpectedly delicious twist. Service was prompt and friendly, making us feel at home--a must-visit for any BBQ enthusiast or anyone who appreciates good food in a charming outdoor setting. I drive through Driftwood several times per year and I will always stop here for a meal when I have the time.
I've now been here five times and I can attest to the fact that the service is great every single time. It's fast and we are always checked on a few times to make sure everything was good, or if we needed anything else. Nearly every time I pay this spot a visit, I ordered the brisket and sausage and my guest will order the brisket and bison rib to include pulled pork. It's almost a guarantee. The food is so good that I can predict most of the orders of my guests. Almost everything comes with a side of beans, cole slaw and the best freaking potato I have ever had. For barbecue sauce you have options of spicy and mild on the table, I highly recommend the spicy one but they are both delicious.
