Texas Barbecue Restaurant Salt Lick Is Opening in Fredericksburg | Eater Austin

"I'm reporting that The Salt Lick, the storied Driftwood barbecue spot that opened in 1967, is opening a new 9,000-square-foot Fredericksburg location with a patio in 2025 at the Sycamore development along Luckenbach Road near the Highway 290 Wine Trail. The planned menu will feature classic Salt Lick barbecue such as brisket, ribs, and sausage, and owner and pitmaster Scott Roberts has teased an additional, unspecified new concept that will join the barbecue restaurant and wine tasting room. This expansion continues the Salt Lick's growth beyond Driftwood — it already operates a second location in Round Rock and outlets at Austin and Dallas–Fort Worth airports, previously ran an upscale Westlake restaurant in the early 2000s, and had a planned Grapevine site that fizzled." - Erin Russell
