The Salt Lick BBQ

Texas' most famous barbecue, catering weddings from Driftwood since 1967.

why book them

The caterer your out-of-state guests already know by name — six generations of pit credibility.

The Salt Lick is the barbecue restaurant other states think of when they think of Texas: open-pit brisket and ribs in Driftwood since 1967, built on family recipes the Roberts family traces to the wagon-train era. The catering operation brings those pits to weddings across the region.

Menus run the full smokehouse canon — brisket, pork and bison ribs, sausage, turkey, chicken — with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary accommodations available, a detail that surprises people who only know the legend. The Driftwood property also hosts private events at its pavilion and Thurman's Mansion, with a bridal suite and groom's room on site, if you'd rather bring the wedding to the barbecue.
