About 30 minutes outside downtown Austin, in Driftwood, TX, (and worth every minute of the drive) is The Salt Lick, some of the best barbecue in Texas. We ordered a platter (The Rancher) to sample a number of the offerings and split it between the two of us (it was A LOT of food!).
Our platter came with turkey, brisket, pulled pork and sausage and ordered a rib on the side.
The ribs are double cut, so there is meat on both sides, and they are huge and full of meat. Of the platter meats, everything was delicious, we couldn't choose our favorite - although the sausage and the brisket was definitely a highlight.
For dessert, we ordered a slice (again, huge slices) of pecan pie. Best pecan pie - ever. Don't argue with me on this, just order it.
The Salt Lick offers wine at the winery next door, however, the restaurant is BYOB, so bring your own wine and beer.
Expect a little bit of a wait here. They do offer popcorn outside while you are waiting for your table, as well as live music on the weekends. Also, be prepared with cash...they do not take credit cards.
