Don’t usually post food photos but this BBQ in Austin area was really good. It’s at Salt Lick BBQ in Round Rock.

I hate to be that guy but that brisket looks very dry and not very good. There are some great places in Austin

It wasn’t dry at all but thanks for your concern.

No concern. Really couldn’t care less. Enjoy the game

Must've improved recently. Because it wasn't very good not too long ago. Also, a plate?

This was recommended by a BYU student from Austin plus it’s near someone we were meeting for lunch. We’ll try

TB’s is the type of BBQ worth traveling for.

Salt lick was a fun atmosphere but I was underwhelmed by their food. Especiallly

12/27/24 10:39pm

Yeah, kind of dry meat too. The fact that we're all saying this about Salt Lick

Did you try Franklin's? That's the best bbq I've ever had

Spent no time in TX but had BBQ in AL & GA plenty. Realize TX is different. Honestly neither of those meats today were

I think everyone is surprised because there have been so many BBQ suggestions given over the past couple weeks and

CB isn’t the only place for recommendations. Didn’t realize CB was such a jealous bunch.

Soupie

The student is wrong and gives dubious recommendations. There are literally more than 100 places here with better BBQ

I will say, Salt Lick has great atmosphere. You drive out to the shack in the

I went to Salt Lick in 2021 and I thought it was good, but I also liked Hard 8 and Pecan Lodge

SJS

Pecan lodge used to be unbelievable like 10+ years ago

I went there in 2023 and I liked it. But I try to keep it down.

It’s still good BBQ but not what it used to be

JoeExotic

100 places better but you don’t mind it. Ooh-Kay.

Soupie

12/28/24 10:51am

Yes. 100+. Nobody is butt hurt. But if you liked Salt Lick, you’ll be blown away by the great places.

Did you like their sauce?

Northwest Cougar

Sauce was very meh but meat was good enough that didn’t really matter. I’d never judge a place by their airport version

Soupie

12/28/24 9:44am

Their sauce is probably what they’re most famous for. Many bbq joints have copied it.

Supercoug

If other places are copying it maybe that's why
