Ambience not as cool as the original on the "drag", but tasty cheesesteaks all the same.
The Salt Lick - Texas BBQ
18001 FM 1826Driftwood, TX, USA
OK, technically this is not in Austin, but we count it as one of our favorite hometown bbq joints. Take a cooler full of cold refreshing beverages (BYOB - none sold there b/c dry county), visit under some trees while listening to live Texas music, and then share some homestyle, all-you-can-eat BBQ! Save room for cobbler.
