The Salt Lick BBQ in Texas

[@albertgarcia4580]

Best bbq I have ever had!! You have to go to see the place. Everything is so delicious and the desserts are to die for!!

[@rgion29247616]

One of my co-workers came back from Austin. He was at Salt Lick. Brought back his lunch. His Lunch SMELLED so WONDERFUL! No, he did not offer me or my other co-worker any taste. Cannot wait to get down to Austin.

[@zaneyone1]

The BURNT ENDS are the BEST....I love THE SALT LICK.

[@kelefane6233]

This is the best BBQ in the world.

[@w.j.graterol3590]

Wow the best of the video was Scott way to treat people!!! Very nice person...!!! Now the ribs were Supreme!!

[@generalruckus]

feels like somebody who just walked in for some free food under the guise of an interview.

[@mambaregime]

Gotta go there, looks incredible!

[@bucsrno1]

How could you not like this video!

[@aburrows2008]

those rips look amazing same with the brisket and burnt ends

[@916nando]

This is definitely on my bucket list

[@Bot101101]

Freezer and plastic bags, that's how you know it's authentic Texas bbq.

[@1EyedRooster]

yup

[@rickycavazos8072]

Right I'm getting hungry now

[@bowesman1000]

I wish i could go there ! That place looks really cool.

[@SuperDarco666]

Been there in 2012, and i was blown away because of the taste..... it was so good.. I do alot of cooking myself, i love to cook and i am a educated butcher with a passion for food, and it was a dream that came true by visiting The Salt Lick. 10/10, if i ever come to Austin again, then i know where to go for dinner =) Greetings from Denmark

[@bacongravys]

Looks delicious. I like how they just keep the menu simple and cook it really good. I found this while looking for a way to BBQ turkey.

[@epn1961]

One hour and 45 min wait , is cash only and byo boose but is all worth it... the food is very good and yhe people that runs this place are very polite

[@dmitriygaskov8827]

Greetings from Russia. I need to taste it.

[@SimonZimmermann82]

This is interesting to me. He said chilling the food before putting it on again makes it taste better... i had the same experience just by heating up the brisket slices the next day in the microwave... for me, it taste better.

[@jeffparrish9089]

LMAO !!!! A long history .... from 1936. In Carolina we were smoking whole hog over hickory coals from the MID 1700's. THAT is history. Long before Texas was even thought of. Give me pulled pork, collard greens, potato salad and hush puppies, all washed down with sweet tea and banana pudding for desert.

[@blownonfuel]

You need to read some history my friend. 1700? Pff, those hogs you speak of came from Spain when the conquistadors conquered Mexico. Those hogs made there way up into North America and guess where they passed through first? Tejas!!!! Tejanos were making BBQ years before Carolina even saw a hog.

[@thomasbourne8573]

Texas BBQ at its very best..

[@thedude2145]

Salt lick is fucking amazing the ribs are insane

[@user-fr6qn9xl9e]

Roll on down to your local HEB or order online, for your own bottle of Salt Lick sauce... So damn good

[@ColKorn1965]

I could eat the whole pit

[@granttabor1338]

Been there once wouldn't bother to go back. When I am in that part of Tx go to the original Coopers in Llano

[@japper21]

very professional

[@memadman]

I like the family style.

[@jamessudbury6006]

how many times are uou going to ssy evdrything is bigger in texas....

[@federicosagun8243]

Oh my God im going insane just by looking the mean. I can smell the smoke already.

[@gerry3x]

Pre cooked meat?

[@reggiecarmichael4108]

How can I get there ?

[@wolfeden343]

oh my gosh i am sooo hungary!

[@yazanblack_mic1332]

Meee 2😂😭😭😭😭

[@PauIieWalnuts]

Step one: make a KZbin channel Step two: get a decent camera Step three: get a few thousand subscribers Step four: free food everywhere you film!

[@miketurner325]

He's a Japanese decent? Japanese Texan. BADASS

[@lyleswavel320]

Hawaiian descent

[@njgrplr2007]

Guy cuts a few slices off the tip of the flat and calls them burnt ends? BS!

[@jacob5003]

Where is that place ?

[@cjulez1]

There's a restaurant in Driftwood Texas and in round rock Texas

[@rabiabou5452]

Jules Cirilo mijnmm

[@jacob5003]

Boondock Saint Thanks !!! A little bit late but thanks

[@mondeacid5610]

Drove from Royee City, Texas to Driftwood (This resto) and was super well worth it. Go try it asap, thanks y'all

[@Aryanbrotherhoodboxing]

It's Santa Maria style BBQ

[@masonharbeck9695]

dude said no bread I'm being a good boy as he eats alk that food

[@NiteGambler]

"I'll pass on the bread???" If I'm the owner i say to Mr. Mooch....."I'll pass on giving you more free food".

[@123space8]

Right it’s almost disrespectful

[@ericramirez9240]

Oh god. Shut up.

[@Alutacon]

that's sick as hell. did you see that brisket at 5:49 while he's slicing it. that thing is crying sweet juices. omg wish i could get my paws on a piece of that!!!!

[@Alutacon]

ummm, i wouldn't taste as good

[@Alutacon]

i'm not so sure about that, i thought i was pretty funny

[@voodoochef100]

Alutacon I also thought it was pretty funny. Plus why would anyone want to listen to a Patriot fan when it concerns Ethics.

[@raycpronto]

Why would a vegetarian be watching this anyway?

[@TXDogg83]

Alutacon Salt Lick is good. Their sauce isnt the greatest (not that the brisket really needs any) but its real good for the sausage though.

[@gerganamendarova5637]

I'm drowning in saliva here!

[@abbassihm]

its bad to watch this when you are hungry and got no food in your house.

[@gerganamendarova5637]

Wise words dude :)

[@abbassihm]

+Gergana Mendarova thanks facts of life :)

[@w.j.graterol3590]

me too !!! hahaha

[@RobertRodriguez-ts3ns]

Gergana Mendarova fr

[@chosuyoung]

good food, awkward interview.

[@raychoy6981]

+Suyoung Cho I thought the same, the chef really has to sit down with the presenter to give a sense of friendship and not so much intimidation or critique

[@japper21]

i agree but to an extent. the man LOVES his creation and was so excited to have him try it he just couldn't walk away lol

[@hawkie2216]

Beech he still have some beef meat on dat bone and it wasn't comepletely finish , yet he put it in the bone bowl. Im here drooling bitch

[@creolenatchitoches7832]

LOL. He also said they compost the bones. Not on my watch he wouldn't. I'd take it home to the dog and make sure all the sauce is licked off proper.

[@fatimaroque2512]

Came here about 3 years ago, for a post-graduation FEAST. It delivered nothing short of my expectations! Absolutely delicious, want to go back. 😭😋

[@hunclemike]

That dudes reaction when he took his first bite was genuine......that BBQ looks UNREAL!!!!

[@michas.2821]

Did he say the coleslaw is with cabbage and vinegar? Sry i am from germany and i think that it´s sound like "weisskraut" because of the cabbage and vinegar. Sorry if i am wrong. I love bbq and visit the south usa from time to time.

[@MrManas1995]

Its a VERY bad idea to watch this at 2 in the morning when hungry, and boy I just learnt that the hard way.

[@airheaded]

lol, i'm watching this at 1:19 am and craving bbq. lol!

[@watertothepeople]

this is killing me! I want to be at that table right now!

[@richtfan]

burnt ends don't come from the flat. they come from the point.

[@bigeyedave100]

scott roark it was the point of the flat 😂

[@marcosmendez8805]

Lloyd Bonafide so is that part even good or what ? Newbie over here

[@marcosmendez8805]

Lloyd Bonafide oh ok thanks a lot for that information. Recommend and good meat or anything like that?

[@18BIG78]

Went there in 1978 thru 1981 when I was in the air Force at bergstrom. Absolutely the best bbq around

[@MisterWub]

Went here about 9 years ago, well actually to the Round Rock location and thought it was really good. My cousin wanted to take us to Coopers but traffic on that Easter Sunday was terrible, so he reluctantly took us to Salt Lick instead. My cousin and the locals seemed to shit on Salt Lick and call it a tourist trap and pedestrian BBQ. Well that may be the case and yes over the years I've had better, but when you grow up in NYC and then move to Los Angeles, this place is food from god himself! When you drive up the aroma is mouth watering. I've had everything the host had and thought the pork ribs and sausage were the best. The sausage goes SOOO well with that bread and the BBQ sauce. I may have to mail order me some soon. Oh and the Pecan Pie...WOW!!

[@1EyedRooster]

Coopers is the true tourist trap. :-)

[@MisterWub]

John Barlow ha ha! I love Coopers had it mail ordered and eventually ate at the Fort Worth location. Please do tell why you think Coopers is a tourist trap? I love to hear people’s opinions on BBQ.

[@jamesoconnor3562]

PLEASE come to Detroit and open a branch. There is nothing here like that. We have a wanna be called Slows BBQ. Appears you'd kick their ass.

[@davidbradford38]

You can tell burnt ends aren't traditional Texas bbq because they come from the point not the flat

[@bubblehead7680]

david bradford Yeah, I was noticing that too. I am Texan but I know the burnt end are on the point, not the flat.

[@Kaltwasser45]

david bradford This is the first I've heard anything like this. Burnt ends are always ends. Yes, I'm Texan and live a couple of miles down the street from SL. I guess it's being from a family of competition Q'ers. Every time I request burnt ends, they indeed are ends in Texas.

[@StevenSilva916]

"Right on there, right on there, right now is..." 6:47 this got me for some reason hahaha

[@mysticmac6016]

+Steven Silva hahah nice catch so funny

[@moncorp1]

Not Texas BBQ. Texas BBQ is dry rubbed only, no sauce. Sauce is an option for the customer to use if they want to.

[@moncorp1]

kmurder02 ~ only the tards that think they're Texans. ALL of Texas bbq is based on a dry cook. You offer sauce as a side you fucking dipshit.

[@chelleroberson3222]

Very true. No sauce on brisket

[@tonistephenson1909]

Loved that place when I lived near Austin took the long drive once a month because it was outstanding..

[@UncleRichard.]

Who passes on a dish that was served to you? what a putz! The ovens at 4:25 probably baked that bread! Universal rule...when you are served something that was made from scratch....you eat it. Be a man not a "good boy". I lost my shit when he passed on the bread.

[@tiha6708]

DAYUM that stuff looks good, BUT I gotta wonder what his lungs look like after working that BBQ pit for decades.

[@thomopolusrex8436]

A vegetarian's nightmare.

[@top-notchfrenchiesofhousto6345]

My mouth was watering the whole show 🤤

[@macthesmac]

I could eat this food everyday. My wife just ordered me a brisket from here for my birthday

[@cskillet2003]

By far the best BBQ I've ever had. I need to book a flight and go back!

[@christanner3761]

Watching this and not being able to eat there is goddamm torture!

[@Raiderfn31]

I'm from N.C. so I have my preferences, but seeing people anywhere taking time and making meat sing sweet music is awesome and I tip my hat.

[@tradesy_6046]

I dream of owning a bbq joint one day...the salt lick looks like they have some taaaaasty brisket too

[@kevinkjer5431]

Best BBQ ever. really! # Oklahoma Joe's in KC, , the Shed in Mississippi. , anyplace in OK. kk La Habra, CA

[@isaiah1516]

Made the trip from Ft Hood, Tx and I have to say that it was absolutely worth the visit! This is true southern cooking and reminds me of the southern food I have waiting for me back home in Florida.

[@savorydavy9980]

I live in San Antonio and made my way up there this week. IT'S AS AMAZING AS THEY SAY!

[@keithlester9152]

I have been there and that bbq is the best. Those ribs are sick, I mean so good I'm sick just watching this video wishing I had some.

[@jonjoe8049]

you can tell the host had never had BBQ like this before. You see his face. LOL Salt lick is mmm mmmm goood.

[@Adam-zt9yn]

They pick a food reviewer on a diet... He cooks all that food and you didn't try the bread!

[@lulutileguy]

this is torture

[@samscharp3367]

Me and 4 of my buddies are doing a barbecue trip out to Texas this summer. Salt Lick is high on the list.

[@stanleysanders9099]

Better places

[@showmethedammovie]

fricken tv guy turned down the bread? how insulting. you are doing a show. they are giving you their hard work. probably for free. and you like nah pass. wtf. yeah i'm not eating bread i'm being healthy. goes and digs in high fat pork with high sugars ect. lol dork.

[@sklodowska226]

+showmethedammovie yeah that was weird af lol

[@Castro0309]

i know he was pretty dumb to pass on THAT bread...seriously soo oh good!

[@t-mac6061]

yup TV douchebag my thoughts exactly

[@BobPapadopoulos]

What'd you expect? He's got a fuckin soul patch...

[@Vestolord]

maybe he is allergic or has a glucose intolerance.

[@michaelcain2174]

I've never been to USA always wanted to go but it has to be the south , just for amazing food like this .

[@jw11432]

Yes sir. Texas is filled with so many different kinds of food. In most areas, you're going to find good BBQ across the state, that's a given. Go a little further east, closer to Louisiana and you'll find more cajun food that's just as good as NOLA's (because people from there move to Texas and bring their recipes with them). You can go further north to a town called Muenster and get some excellent German cuisine as the town is renowned for their German heritage. And don't get me started on the plethora of Tex-Mex options, as well as plenty of authentic Mexican food options. Of course the big draw of Texas is BBQ and Tex-Mex, but it's a huge state with much to offer. 10 countries: The Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Luxembourg and Hungary would all fit inside Texas.

[@hungrycaterpillar439]

I had dinner 5 minutes ago, and now i'm hungry again after watching this video.

[@paultanner2007]

Ain’t nothing like Texas BBQ!!!

[@heyya6371]

Salute you sir🤘

[@Coralita675]

Amazing Australia NEEDS a Salt lick like desperately. Thanks for sharing.

[@gale212]

Had the pleasure of eating here a few years back. Great food and some pretty property. One issue with the video... Texans just don't know about and don't do burnt ends. It's a Kansas City treat. Where the gentleman in the video sliced is not the burnt end. But again, TX doesn't typically do them. Great place to eat. Everyone needs to go and to get a picture of that pecan fire in the dining room.

[@robertgoidel]

I have heard of this place. Seeing this video, sure want to go there. Thanks for this video.

[@danb.777]

“I’ll pass on the bread” lol

[@jayala1992]

Man, I would love to go there and get some good barbecue. You can't get it anywhere else but in Texas. 😍😍

[@oopopp]

The back COOKS everything... the front pit is just to warm it up, smoke it a bit and sauce.....

[@dfwboxingisback9173]

Very unique restaurant. Built around the ORIGINAL homemade pit, got some Hawaiian flavors throughout....can't beat it. However....them Pinto Beans would be a whole lot better if he smoked those MFers

[@MrNickjberry]

So... THis guy sucks at BBQ. The beef rib wasn't anywhere close to clean coming off the bone. It looked terrible. The brisket looked juicy, but clearly had a bad pull and was too rubbery. I'd say pass on this guys technique. No Bueno.

[@stevelogan5475]

The family style meal is for a family of one = me, I'm only 6-00 tall & 200 lbs. But this 60 yr old Irishman from Kentucky can throw down some good food, don't know what the wife, kids, grand children are having, lol

[@100smp]

We love to have this place as an old tradition of Austin... however we Austinites all know their BBQ sucks. This is ambiance for tourists, no more. Notice he cuts Brisket ultra thin... cause it sux by Texas terms...

[@michaelsimoneau8364]

this BBQ is fucking insane.

[@pedantic79]

The Salt Lick is unique in terms of BBQ style for Central Texas. They use different seasoning, wood, and sauce then what you will get in most barbecue restaurants in Austin and the surrounding area. Central Texas BBQ is influenced by German and Czech immigrants and come from a way to preserve unsold meats from the meat market. Brisket will only be season with salt and pepper, smoked with only post oak, and no sauce (although now they have sauce everywhere and it's generally tomato and vinegar based). The Salt Lick is still very popular, but it's popularity predates the barbecue Renaissance started by Aaron Franklin of Franklin BBQ. If you are in Austin, go to Franklin BBQ, La Barbecue, John Mueller, or Micklethwait. If you want old school, Louie Mueller in Lockhart or Snow's in Lexington (only open Saturday morning). All of these places cook top rate Central Texas BBQ. Edit: John Mueller is closed now. Also the Salt Lick "pit" is a "lie". Their meat is cooked on Southern Pride gas ovens, and then put on the pit to finish before slicing. The pit simply doesn't have enough square footage to cook the amount of meat they would require. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. YMMV.

[@cannonballkid]

Thank you for these tips.

[@voodoochef100]

pedantic79 Franklin BBQ may be the best in Austin, but the lines are so damn long. Plus they sell out early. So why waste time in line, when there's so many great places for BBQ throughout Texas. The Salt Lick in Driftwood was such an awesome experience. Plus the brisket & sausage were totally awesome. We were disappointed with sides though.

[@voodoochef100]

Boondock Saint I did my homework on-line and messaged several yelpers on who had the best BBQ in Dallas area (we were there for Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game). And they all said the same thing. For the Ultimate BBQ its best to drive down to Austin &/or Lockhart. The Top 3 places that were recommended were 1)Franklin's, Austin 2) Salt Lick, Driftwood 3) Black's, Lockhart. Because we despise lines & waiting (we're from NYC, LOL) We did The Salt Lick & were on our way to Black's. But unfortunately because it was on Thanks Eve, the traffic was so bad, that we decided best to drive back to Dallas for dinner.
