I drive by Salt Lick frequently - always packed. I have been there to eat - once with a small group for dinner and twice at a fundraiser in the pavillion. Not one of those times was the food up to par for all they hype they get. The brisket is fatty, the sausage has mystery nuggets, and the potato salad is less spectacular than the tub stuff you get at the local grocery store. The pickles are okay.\r
My guess is folks are just afraid to go against the rest of the sheep and admit the place is so-so.\r
So, if Baaaad BBQ is what you are looking for then this is the place for you.
Pros: pretty property
Cons: food
