“We had an outstanding experience at The Salt Lick BBQ! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by an inviting and earthy atmosphere that set the perfect tone for our meal. The staff were not only friendly but also helpful, guiding us through the ordering process seamlessly. Despite a wait of about 25 minutes, which wasn't bad considering the popularity of the place. We ordered ribs— btw they are very generous portions.Absolutely divine and truly a standout dish.The Chicken was flavorful, it practically melted off the bone.The Brisket was perfectly done, with just the right balance of flavor and tenderness.Their desserts are amazing, the peach cobbler and chocolate pecan pie are exceptional!!While the BBQ and desserts were exceptional, the only downside was the limited variety of sides. We would have loved more options to complement the savory goodness of the BBQ. Nonetheless, The Salt Lick BBQ earns a solid five ✨ stars for its fantastic atmosphere, friendly service, and unbeatable BBQ offerings. Can't wait to return!“
“I didn't go into there location one the pit chefs came to my salon and persuaded me to try. When I tell you the juicy brisket melted in my mouth it was unreal. Seasoning was on point don't change it ever. The fat actually melted...I don't eat fat and I ate it. He did tell me that they do a little of out source when it came to some sides but, the potatoes salad was good I can't rank it when I like both with or without mustard. Beans were bussin' no like. Sausage if you do not like a drier texture of sausage maybe find some else but we raised on deer sausage over and I love a drier sausage. Over all I will be eat from there again. Shout to Pedro I see cheffing it up!! Also hurry up and get the Wimberley location open so I can bring some of my friends.“
“What a pleasant surprise. We had the cellars flight of wine and were once again floored by the great taste. The bartender was amazing. She ran the complete bar by herself. She was nonstop. The flight of wine includes a selection of five wines. We drank one (1) white, one (1) rose, and three (3) reds. They were all amazing. We ended up buying four (4) bottles. The wine in Texas is simply amazing. Full disclosure I’m not an expert in wine by any means however I was amazed nonetheless.So the debate wasNot enough time at the cellar sipping on wine in a great atmosphereORWas the desperation for great BBQ overwhelming.The cellar has outdoor seating areas that are beautiful.Cheers“
“Best of both worlds, great good & customer service! My little family and I traveled to San Antonio to try their BBQ & believe me, it did not disappoint. This place is definitely a must try when visiting San Marcos. We'll be coming back to Hays very soon with more of our friends & family.“
“Tommy is an excellent pit-master!! The brisket is top notch, probably some of the best I've had in a long time. I grew up in Central Texas so I know good bbq. We also had coleslaw, potato salad, Mac n cheese, and pinto beans. I think the potato salad was my favorite. It was very creamy and flavorful. The coleslaw was awesome because it had a vinegar taste, but was creamy. The mac & cheese was cheesy and smooth, and the pinto beans had a nice flavor too. Overall I'd say you definitely need to come here, Tommy provides excellent customer service!“
“In my continuing search for fabulous Texas Hill Country BBQ, I sampled the brisket from Kelly’s in Wimberley SW of Austin.A food trailer in a laundromat parking lot across from the hub of Wimberley, the local HEB, may seem strange. But Kelly’s brisket was “genuine no-knife needed, melt in your mouth” fantastic. Little picnic tables, styrofoam containers, rolls of paper towels with plastic cutlery made the dining experience much different, no doubt. But Kelly’s focus is 100% about the BBQ. I saw 1 guy standing at the rear of his open door SUV, eating his lunch. Bottom line is simple: it’s all about the food, not the setting.Open Tuesday through Saturday 11am until they run out of food. Highly recommended!“
