I'm finished in Round Rock at 11. The menu at The Salt Lick looks fantastic. For $20 buck, I can get a sampling of everything.I only have time for dinner on Wednesday and it has to be downtown Austin and lunch on Thursday in the Round Rock/Austin area (I'll have a rental car by this time). After that, it's the family of Aggies in College Station and wherever they want to go. Flying out of Austin too early on Mother's Day to stop anywhere.So, lunch at The Salt Lick and after lunch at Louis Meuller's in Taylor? I dunno. Will follow-up. Thank you. Too many great choices. What a nice position to be in.Small (hatched 6/13/2015)

Agreed...
Mueller's Brisket...hands down better'n Salt Lick!
Both are "Waaay Koool"...Only in Texas type Joints...each in their own way, and well worth the trip any time!!
Like Cen-Tex said...hitting Lulling and Lockhart would be the way to go...if you can!
Lots of great traditional Texas Q and BBQ history packed in those 2 little towns!
Enjoy!!
I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!! -

This makes me want to throw it all away and hit the Central TX bbq trail. The last time I sort of did that, I enjoyed the ol skool charm of Black's and Smitty's too, but have not been to all or enough of the bbq legends to critique their fare. Hope to change that soon#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Did the TM Top 5 in one day after the last Best BBQ in Texas issue. Snow's, Louie's, Kreuz, Smitty's and City Market... 265 miles, 6 hours, $140 in BBQ, and a stretched belt. Everything CenTex said is spot on. But if you get to Kreuz or Smitty's early enough, get a pork chop. Not on the board. But an excellent, excellent choice.

Something awesome about having a Shiner Bock under the Live Oaks on a nice TX day at Salt Lick. You'll be hooked.

Their peach cobbler a-la-mode is fricken awesome. Buy a bottle of their spicy BBQ sauce too.

OK. Trip to Austin and College Station is over. Due to family get-togethers, things didn't go as planned. Too many relatives in town. Upon landing in Austin, we did drive immediately to Lockhart to sample the food at Kreuz. I liked it, but it wasn't the best that I had. Had some brisket, clod and a sausage with cole slaw. It took longer in Round Rock the second day than expected and SWMBO wanted to go to San Marco shopping. Did try C & J's in College Station on Friday. Excellent BBQ. I think it was better than Kreuz. Pictures are of Kreuz.It's just nice in general to visit the promised land (TX). Also stopped at the Russian House in Austin for some excellent vodkas and borscht during happy hour. Not Que, but a nice diversion, especially if you're old and speak Russian.Thank you for the suggestions. We will go back someday.Small (hatched 6/13/2015)

Sorry you went to Kreuz's, North. I've eaten there twice and didn't think it was too good. I love Black's. Maybe, next time, you can give them a try.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

IMO HEB has better brisket than the Salt Lick. I do like the sausage and fixinsSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

What time of day were you there that Kreuz was empty? Every time I go there are lines out the door - even on weekdays.
I've often wondered "Who in their right mind builds a restaurant that seats over 200 (maybe 300?) in a town of 11,000?" But when you go there and they are ringing multiple cash registers as fast as they can then it makes sense.
Plus, I've met Rick Schmidt and he doesn't seem crazy - and our mutual friends seem to think very highly of him so I've always been partial to Kreuz.
Of course, Driftwood looks to be about 5% as big as Lockhart and The Salt Lick seems to fill up hundreds of seats all the time as well.
It really is like a pilgramage to go to some of these places.

We were at Kreuz at about 3:30p last Wednesday. I'll be back for the tour someday. I expect to be invited to a wedding next spring.Small (hatched 6/13/2015)
