Rudy’s is fantastic, but the Salt Lick is my favorite. The Driftwood location is out in the middle on no where, packed with people, the place is old, large & loud, family seating, great BBQ, large portions, and my favorite, you can bring in your own beer with no charge. If you like to grill, try using the grilling planks for fish. I like to get them so hot the edges of the plank start to burn and give the fish even more of a smokier flavor.

What did you like @ Green Mesquite?
I thought about getting an electric smoker, but just figured it would probably be only about half as good as the real thing, am I right?

December 10, 2010 at 7:41 AM #638096Rich ToscanoKeymasterYep, lived right on Barton Springs near all the restaurants and the park back in the 2002 vicinity. Loved Austin but had a lot of friends and family back here in SD, and was lured back by a lucrative job offer.
At Green Mesquite I am a big fan of their brisket and sausage… they have my favorite sauce as well.
Believe it or not, in my recently-deceased electric smoker I was able to make bbq that was as good as anyone’s. However, I personally would never consider getting one if I still lived in Austin. It is very labor-intensive, and I just wouldn’t be able to justify spending that much time on it in a town where you are always a stone’s throw away from great bbq.
That said I knew some guys out there who liked to do their own smoking… some folks enjoy putting in the time on that stuff, and I do to some degree as well… but out here I do it more out of necessity.
