History: In Texas, BBQ is a way of life, and The Salt Lick is the BBQ king! Known for their brisket, sausage and ribs, The Salt Lick cooks their meat over an open fire with heavy, dense oak and wet pecan shells for a nice smoky flavor. On average, The Salt Lick cooks over 750,000 lbs. of brisket per year, using the same method that owner Scott Robert’s great-grandmother used in the 1800s.
