When Salt Lick BBQ started in 1967, Central Texas was a sleepy area with rolling hills, wide open spaces and people who wanted to live outside of busy cities. Salt Lick roots run back deep into Mississippi by the now owner’s great-grandmother, Bettie. Read their incredible history here.Â
Texas BBQ became legendary and among those lists of BBQ joints was none other than Salt Lick.
