Since 1967, the family-owned eatery has been slow-smoking its meats over hot coals, and it's said that you can smell the mouthwatering aroma from miles away.
The most legendary aspect of The Salt Lick is its massive open BBQ pit, and one look promises to leave you salivating with primal hunger.

A carnivore's dream come true, the pit is loaded with brisket, sausage, ribs, and several other types of meat - all high quality cuts, of course.
Good luck controlling your appetite - once you taste the complex flavors that only time-honored family recipes can impart, it's game over.
