Take a deep breath and inhale the aroma of some of the best
BBQ the Hill Country has to offer. You've found "The Salt Lick" so
named by owner Hisako Roberts and her husband, the late Thurman
Roberts, because "a Salt Lick is something where all the animals
congregate. There is something good, something essential about it."
Thirty
years ago, Thurman Roberts, Sr. and his wife Hisako T. Roberts started
the Salt Lick Restaurant on the ranch where he was born. Since then,
the Salt Lick has grown in size and scope. The restaurant facilities
have been expanded. Rooms have been added to accomodate various
functions. The Pavilion has been added just down the road so that many
couples have started their married lives together with us. When the
City of Austin built it's new Austin Bergstrom International Airport,
The Salt Lick was one of the few restaurants picked to represent what
Austin dining is to the rest of the world. We began our mailorder
catalog to share the joy of Texas barbecue with the rest of the
country. And now, here we are today, on the
internet moving into the 21st Century hoping to share what we think is
the best barbecue you'll ever taste with you and yours!
