One of the best things about going to Salt Lick, can also be the worst -- the lovely, scenic drive. Going out there, it is wonderful. But after several servings of mouth-watering brisket, a few of your own beers that you are allowed (and encouraged) to bring, incredible sides and some local music, the last thing you want to do is drive home. Looking to impress out-of-town guests with a true Austin dining experience, this is it. The people that complain about it don't realize how good they have it says this former Austin resident.
Pros: location, brisket
Cons: long drive home
