But he even says it’s not texas style because they baste it throughout the cooking process
It’s 2am here in Australia and I’m watching the best bbq I’ve seen. Why am I doing this to myself 😩
Hey, same place, same time, almost, I'm making do with a woolies roast chook & a bowl of potato bacon & egg salid from the deli, best I could do atm.
Same here mate, why am I torturing myself? :(
It’s 5am my time and I have not choice but to order some lousy fastfood to compensate.
Midnight here...and cant order food anymore 🤣😪
You should watch videos of blacks bbq, snows, and Franklin's also. You'll really lose your mind.
Bbq,buckets of beer, family,friends, it's a way of life here in TEXAS. After a long work week filled with 10,12 hour days nothing beats relaxing with the family and go all out on bbq!! Thanks for showing this to the world,hopefully the world will bbq more,relax with family and friends. God bless!!
Wholesome comment.🙏🏼
it's carolina style though, so there's not much state pride to be had here
Any meat cooked over a charcoal fire totally taste good.
thats great man!! youre blessed

I didn’t expect this on this channel but same to you amen
Thank you!
❤😊God bless you
Ditto! ❤
Thank you 👍 Right back at you. amen
I live about 20 minutes away from The Salt Lick 😛 grew up with this stuff .
As a long time resident of Austin I have eaten at this place MANY times over the last 40 years. One thing he didn't mention, and one of my favorite things about this place, is you can get select BBQ all you can eat for a reasonable price. As much as you can handle they keep bringing it out!
40 bucks all you can eat
My Favorite part of the lick. Many college weekends filled with bbq and lan parties.
@@micheal4406 will this meat be halal?
That’s TRUE !!
At 6’5” and 245 … this is GREAT VALUE
Looks great but I'd not feel safe visiting sadly.
I’m not gonna lie one day last year this channel popped up on my feed as of 2023 I’ve nearly watched all videos on channels your the man
Nowwwwww my mouth is watering!! Texas BBQ. Pure and American!!
I think billionaires dream of having this guy life. Best food reviewer on youtube.
I always feel lucky to be born and raised in Texas
I bet you moved to Colorado, am I right? Haha
@@brentstack3267 I lived in Colorado for about 5 years but I'm back in Texas =P
@@brentstack3267 lol
You sure are. I had a GF from Texas and she actually brought me a full bag of BBQ when she came to NYC . You cant find real BBQ in NYC. DOn;t believe the lies of Nyers. They have no idea what their talking about when they say they have real BBQ lol.
props once again to the editor and the scene where sonny climbing out of the TV. Amazing. Thank you
As someone who lives 5 minutes from here and goes regularly, this still makes me hungry
eyy ur lucky
@@andupyar5097 ya
Man, I'm about 15 minutes lol ive never been but have had their food from catering.
wow.. as someone who lives 10,000 miles away, I've never been there before
@@Dimaz42 I've been 10,000 miles away. I like it here better. You should join us.
My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner here. Very few people on either side had been before. I have never been thanked more in my life after it was done. 🤣
We used to go to school and eventually lived out there for about five years. We loved going to salt lick. The drive through the hill country, the wait with the live band on the weekends, the byob while you wait. We even had them cater my wedding. I was always curious how big their kitchen was.
I am never ready for these videos to end :(
Been there once and will never forget it. All you can eat for a good price and some of the best BBQ you'll ever have.
Am I mistaken or did I miss the name of this place or maybe a ad popped up when they mentioned the name of this place.
@@stevemendez3535 Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood Texas
it's always nice to have someone to enjoy the food with
My cousin Tim lives with his native Texan wife in Round Rock, an Austin suburb. I visited them both 1 month ago for the solar eclipse. Our first stop after I landed in Austin was the Salt Lick! 1 hour wait to get in, but well worth the wait. Best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life! There were cords of oak wood just outside, stacked and ready for the pit. Rivaled only by Terry Black’s! The Salt Lick is indescribably delicious, and the sauces are perfect! They enhance the flavor of the meat without overpowering the meat or being overpowered by the meat. The meat alone is worth the price of admission, but the meat and the sauce are greater than the sum of their parts! I’ve done enough drooling! 🤤 The Salt Lick is mandatory for all Austin tourists!
Their potato salad and cole slaw are german style, so vinegar based. They really go well with that bbq meat.
Yes
Almost a sauerkraut.
@@johnnunn8688 Sauerkraut is fermented, it's a whole different story.
Actually, I live near them and asked them years ago and it's an Asian/Thai based cole slaw... I talked to them about it years ago. The family who owns it actually married someone from there who designed the recipe, or it least that's what they told us... If I remember correctly, back then they had two types, don't know about now...
@@musemuser777 We must be neighbors. I'm super close to them too.
The Salt Lick was one of my top foodie experiences, all you can eat bbq and it was all amazing
Each time we visit Austin , Salt Lick is a must for our visitors❤
I may be there two months from now and will check it out!!
Try Terry Blacks or LA BBQ next time your there. Amd its LA as in the. Not Las Angeles lol
Wow
That Monster Texas Meat Pitt looks fascinating. That enormous structure could definitely hold a lot more meat the more you think about it.
idk man this videos kinda sus
"as a straight guy, I've never been surrounded by so much meat and loved it so much" 0:19 ayo??
But ya gotta REALLY think about it in order to truly visualize just how much meat that structure could hold.
That Pit is a Legend itself.
As a Texan I'm averse to sauces. That being said I absolutely love the sauce here. What a great place to eat and a wonderfully impressive place to take guests. And the coleslaw here is top notch...it's very different to traditional slaw and on a hot day it's very refreshing.
Every time I visit Austin (about once a year) I visit the Salt Lick. But that's not all! If you're flying out of Austin, be sure to stop at the Salt Lick restaurant at the airport and order a brisket breakfast burrito - they are simply amazing!
Taste yummy
Any meat cooked over a charcoal fire totally taste good.
Had my daughters rehearsal dinner @ Salt Lick with over a 100 guests, 1 of the very Best times of my life ! Family Friends & Food ! The Absolute Best !!!
You know it’s gonna be a good day when food review posts!
Great video man . Y'all make my days easier.
You are great! Thanks for your work!
This is Sonny's dream come true.
Thanks for making this videos, now I know where to go next year when I'm coming over from the Netherlands.
Our fave bbq in Texas❤
TEXAS KNOWS HOW TO DO BBQ CORRECTLY!
side note: five words.. Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg, Texas!
Been there many times, AMAZING !
Lately, I’ve been so bored watching shows, but I found myself mesmerized by you and the food here. Thank you for the good show and made me hungry. Like I said I was mesmerized and it felt good to be really into something. Thank you.
Andrew Zimmern went there! I watched Bizarre Foods religiously for years, and I can see the inspiration that you get from that show
I loved that show, this is better though 😉
I've been to saltlick, the bbq is definitely not the best but it is good. It's more hype and inflated prices. The scenery is nice and it's a great spot to relax with the family.
Agree it’s very good, but Lockhart is king with Blacks
Not even close to the best in the Austin area!
Salt Lick has good atmosphere. That is all.
This looks amazing 😳🥹
Great video. Have been eating there since I moved to Austin in 1984. It is special. And their deserts are to die for. Love the Salt Lick.
I've been here a few times and it's a great experience. The place is out of the city and even when really busy, there's always some open tables. I think what is different is the coleslaw. It's not the standard mayo creamy stuff, but it's vinegary and acidic but not overly so. It's very refreshing when chowing down on all that fatty brisket.
Oh my god, I am so hungry, man that looks so wonderful.
Đúng rồi bạn
Thanks for a very nice video of the best BBQ in Texas 👍
Its not even close to the best in Texas. Not even top 10 in Austin.
Thank you for always making me smile.
So many laughs 🤣 So many tummy grumbles 🤤 Cheers Sonny 🤘🌻🤘
Yay! Salt Lick! Their BBQ sauce is different too….❤
OK, I always get hungry watching your videos but watching you eat the ribs and brisket in this one was almost unbearable, so mouthwatering
how do you watch this without having food in front of you :D
Any meat cooked over a charcoal fire totally taste good.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love this place I’ve always gone there for special occasions and probably one of my favorite places for sure!!!
Been here so many times. Watching this now and just told my husband that we must go for dinner this monday!!!! 😋 🤤
Just went there last night! It’s our family’s favorite bbq place. It’s the best!
Hardly the best. Not even top 10 in Austin.
Been wanting to try this place!!!! Now I really have to go!
Skip it. It's only good for people watching. If you want good Texas BBQ is the last place you should go.
I love salt lick bbq every year for my birthday I go with family and friends and enjoy their bbq buffet. It’s such a beautiful setting. I love it
I have been to texas twice. Both times for work in the oilfield. Texas BBQ joints were my favorite because after 14 hour days i just wanted to eat. Hit up a BBQ joint amd they slap what you want on a plate within 2 minutes of walking in the door. Love it.
This is what I would want as my last meal if it was my last meal. I drooled this who video.
Gotta love those texas canopies different everywhere from palm trees to pine trees 🖤
My mouth has been watering through this entire video
Notice Sonny's references to snorting,he does this kinda often... well he's got the snozz for it 🤣😋💗
This is not just a food & Travel channel....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰
I've been on that Salt Lick bbq place in Texas way back in 2015... it's the best i've tasted bbq and brisket and ribs so far...
Loved all your videos, the most upside it's the humorous talking it's awesome...
When sonny goes all around the world tasting exotic food and then comes back to my land, I realize its just as exotic to the rest of the world
I went there 20 years ago. Two things to know: 1) It's(or was) a "dry" location, so you have to BYOB; 2) Their main sauce is mustard-based (ie, not Texas style). Overall, it was great and doesn't look like it has changed much.
They have a winery on site where you can sit under the big live Oak and sip on bottle while you are waiting for your table.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Please take your spam elsewhere.
I moved from Austin to Japan a little over 3 years ago, and while I love Japanese food, I am constantly craving some TX BBQ and Mexican food.
...the founding matriarch of The Salt Lick, Hisako Roberts, was Japanese! She developed their famous Asian-based sauce!
Im So glad that you went there, It is by far my favorite BBQ place
You need to get out more.
I really love all your videos 😍
Ever since I saw this place for the first time in Man vs Food, I've placed it in my bucket list.
I'm working on crossing it out.
im about 1k off to go there for vacation
There is far better bbq in Texas. Salt Lick is an iconic place but it’s not because it has the best food.
It’s so worth going
I honestly think Miller’s Smokehouse in Belton, TX has better brisket and ribs than Salt Lick. Check them out if you ever get to Central Texas.
Skip it. Its sub par by Texas BBQ standards. Its great for people watching but the BBQ is average.
When you have such a large platter to taste test it would be great to see you share the time and meal with some locals. Better yet, fly in Thuyen so we can enjoy her making faces at the food!
Homie said cheers every time and left him hangin 🥲
YOU NAILED IT ON THE NAME. LONG TIME WATCHER, ALWAYS TIE ENJOYER. THANKS CREW AND SON!!
Not traditional Central Texas BBQ, its old school cowboy bbq. just look at the beans. The Chisholm trail ran from San Antonio thru Kansas city and they picked up the flavors along the way.
This video is right on time. I'm heading to San Antonio in a few days and this place is an hour away. I've already told my wife that this is a must while we're in Texas.
I'm so jealous!
I would recommend it if it is still the same from the last time I’ve gone they take cash only and it is byob and 20 bucks is all you cat eat
@@zroreaper thanks for the insight. The cash only part definitely was a good look.
@@NdaKeekz no problem they do have a arm but I think it like 4-5 bucks service fee save you the trouble of using it
Don't forget to hit up round rock dounts just a few minutes from salt lick. Great donut and they even got 5 pounders. Just massive massive donuts
I grew up watch the travel channel so I watched bizarre foods and things like that. This show is right up there with them
Been years since I ate barbecue at the Salt Lick. Good to see that the pit is still filled with fire.
Salt Lick in Driftwood is a can't miss if you're in the Austin area. They aren't the "Best BBQ in Texas" as the title says by any stretch, but they are very good and the location is amazing.
Any meat cooked over a charcoal fire totally taste good.
They have my favorite rub and sauce out of all the BBQ joints
Best? No, not even close.
@@chickenfeet9304 They dont cook anything on that pit. They pull it out of the fridge and reheat on that pit. Its just for show.
Those beef ribs are different because they are back ribs rather than short ribs. Back ribs normally have less meat on them because they are right next to the rib roast (think prime rib/ribeye). Since the rib roast is a rather valuable cut, when bones are separated from the roast, butchers cut close to the bone so as to maximize profits.
Yeah, isn't that a bunch of crap? It is bad enough that beef ribs are generally tough and mostly bone, but these local Texas butchers cut away the meat and leave you dog food.
Beef ribs really suck. I cook pork ribs exclusively.
Oh man, that looked fabulous!
Wow!!! A place I have actually been! .... not since I was like 10 (27 yrs ago), but it was amazing back then, too!
I love chicken and eat it almost every day, because I make it for my dogs. But that chicken drumstick looked bloody on the end part and the bone itself looked bloody as Hell. Great video, and I love BBQ no matter what it is.
That's not blood lol, when cooked chicken has that color next to the bone, its bone marrow pigment that seeped into the meat. That chicken is certainly cooked well.
They have great BBQ
That place is awesome, miss going there, but it really is that good!!
Always getting so hungry watching these videos 🤤
would love to eat that 😍
The reason such heavy sides are served is because the menu was originally designed for hard working folk who needed the calories to get them through a day of hard work and physical labor.
now it's for morbidly obese Texans
@@Fattony6666 Harsh. Good food is just good food.
I love this place, and their family style all you can eat bbq is addictive.
So... What you're saying Sonny, is that you've been surrounded by a lot of meat and just haven't enjoyed it this much, right? Hysterical. Love it.
Love your food videos man keep making good vids !
Yes I liked my own comment
The potatoes felt left out 💔
It’s a nice place to hang out, relax and have some brews.
instantly knew where you were from the thumbnail without needing to read the title LOL Great to see Salt Lick on the channel!
Monster Texas meat pit. Sounds like my Ex.
Gotta go to Texas to experience BBQ the way it was intended! I love BBQ my favorite type of food.
Sonny great Vid! I also am from Mn, my Brother and I did a weekend BBQ tour that started off with the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo BBQ contest, then we headed up to Lexington to go to Snows then over to Lockhart to hit up Smitty’s, Kreuz and Blacks then over to Austin for Franklins and a short trip out to Salt lick BBQout in Driftwood. Loved them all, what a great time!
I never imagined the Salt licks cookers were so huge but based on the size of that place it’s not surprising.
IMHO I thought the Best BBQ. I had during that whole trip was the smoked Turkey breast at Franklins, yes after eating BBQ all over the Texas, it was the best thing I remember so you know it was good.
outstanding ! thats the way to do it, City Market in Luling is good too
I have been there once. It was a great experience, beautiful surroundings and amazing food. I bought the cook book and the owner signed. Awesome experience
Since beans are a dry good that can last a long time, cowboys relied on them for food, as well as a good source protein. So it was a common side at a lot of meals, especially when BBQ was served. Therefore, it's kind of tradition for beans to be served with BBQ.
Sonny,
Most folks don't know that Original Buffalo Wing sauce was/is mustard base.
So this joint gets my OTR Trucker vote, as a must eat.
I know this might sound strange, but that BBQ looked sexy af.
I'm sitting here ready to chew my own arm off, with only hot dogs in my fridge.
You make me laugh, whenever you talk about Minnesota, and Mayonnaise.
I had a gf from there, and she had no problem Hoovering down a tablespoon
of mayo after making some Mayo drenched "Heathy Salad".
When we broke up, my heart hurt, but not from missing her.
From all the fucking mayo on everything!
I lost 85 pounds within the first 3 months.
God Bless Texas! (says the man from Philly)
WB
"Heathy"
The smoke ring is everything.
The picture was “Crawl like the Grudge” LMFAO
You get to taste different delicacies, best job ever👍
Sheesh! I have got to make the trip down to this place. That honestly looks like the best brisket I've ever seen. I'm a pork rib girl, usually, but I don't know. I'd have to try that brisket. this is total food porn!
You should checkout Snows if you want amazing brisket
Franklin's is better. This place literally smokes their food and refrigerates it. Then they throw products on the big grill to warm it back up. They try to claim it "makes the BBQ better", but that is BS. They do it because they can seat hundreds of people and need to have enough stock to feed that many people. Franklin's is cooked fresh every day and when they sell out it is done for the day, and it sells out every day.
This place looks amazing!
That selection on your meat platter looked absolutely amazing and delicious. The only thing I’d say that would be missing off there for me would be a shoulder of bacon. This is something Irish people cook up. You basically have a pork picnic roast that has been cured. Then you boil it up in a large pot remove it from the water shred up cabbage and added to the water so all the salt and bacon flavour is absorbed into the cabbage. You cook it up and serve it with the potatoes. Three ingredient dish. That’s delicious bacon, cabbage and potatoes. Now granted, bacon, cabbage and potatoes wouldn’t go well on that platter what the shoulder of bacon would think of pulled pork but bacon flavour this is what it is. In my opinion, it is the greatest piece of bacon on the planet. It is better than streaky bacon. It is better than back bacon. It is better than the colour of bacon and it’s better than a ham without a doubt. The flavour the texture everything about it it’s just iconic. You have all the flavour from the fat absorbed into the meat. You have all the flavour coming from the bone, absorbed into the meat. Without a doubt, it is easily one of the best pieces of meat you will eat in your life. So that amazing platter. The only thing missing from that for me would be the shoulder of bacon. Now I’m an Irishman, true and true, born in the country and moved to North America. However, Texas does have some Irish immigrants that set up communities back in 1828. So Texas could easily embrace the shoulder of bacon. I wonder what it would be like smoked.
Sir, this is a video about Texas BBQ. What does an Irish dish have to do with BBQ, especially if you have never tried it before? Just go look for a video about Bacon if it is that important to you. Seriously.
@@SANTIS2099 I'm aware it was about Texas barbecue but this also displayed a fantastic delicious meat platter . And in my opinion the only thing missing from that was a shoulder of bacon to make it heaven on Earth you would have to bake and you would have the ribs you would have to brisk it it would be the promised Land.
