Tips

Thanks to one of the few open-pit barbecues left in central Texas, you can see the meat smoking over the handmade stone ring.

Editorial Reviews

If you see smoke rising while driving along FM 1826, don't be alarmed. It's just a barbecue beacon calling you to the perpetually smoking pits, long picnic tables, and dance hall–style compound of The Salt Lick.
