The Salt Lick
Driftwood, Texas
There's a ton of BBQ joints in Texas, so it's saying a lot that The Salt Lick is among the best. Founded in 1967 — and since expanded to locations in Round Rock and the ATX airport — this institution still cooks its meat on the same open pit that was used when it opened, offering brisket, ribs, turkey, sausages, chicken, and sides, all as tasty as anything you'll find elsewhere. Oh, and this location is BYOB and cash-only — so be sure to plan your trip accordingly.
