The Salt Lick BBQ Original Sauce

Nestled in the heart of Texas, The Salt Lick BBQ is more than just a culinary haven; it's a living legacy steeped in family history dating back to the mid-1800s. The journey began with Bettie Howard, a resilient 14-year-old orphan from Mississippi, who made a pact with James Howard to bear and raise his children if he took her to Texas. Crossing the Gulf, they landed in Indianola, reassembling their wagon before reaching Driftwood. There, Bettie, using the same method still employed today, slow-cooked meat over coals. Fast forward to 1967, Thurman Roberts, fueled by a family tradition of delicious barbeque, transformed the dream into reality. What started as a small venture with Thurman cooking meat for paying customers on a homemade pit has evolved into The Salt Lick we know today. A culinary institution, the Roberts family continues to serve up mouthwatering barbeque, weaving the rich tapestry of Texas history into every savory bite for thousands of patrons each week. \n
