  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    For years, this out-of-town barbecue joint has been voted 'best barbecue' by locals. Part of it’s the in-house smoking of the meat and the other part is the rural, communal atmosphere of the spread-out seating. Don’t forget to bring your own libations since The Salt Lick cannot serve alcohol and DON'T FORGET CASH--credit cards are not accepted here.

    • Description:

    • For a mouthful of real Texas barbecue, head make the drive to the legendary Salt Lick. The scenery and the rustic restaurant buildings all add to that perfect Southern experience. Try the mammoth-sized sandwiches or the family style meals (inclusive of pork ribs, brisket, sausage, potato salad, cole slaw, beans, pickles, onions, and bread.) Dig into the delicious smoky sausages or the moist briskets all made with special Salt Lick sauces. You have to leave room for the irresistible homemade desserts. It must be noted though that the restaurant is located in a dry precinct so you have to bring your own alcohol. Great barbeque, melt in your mouth desserts and a drink of your choice, mmmm!
