    Best barbeque in town!

    Delicious barbeque!!

    We ordered the pulled pork, brisket, and sausage from here for our small wedding. Everybody loved it!

    "Best food at a wedding I've ever had!"

    That's exactly what one of our wedding guests told us! We loved working with Salt Lick so much. Not only do they provide delicious food, but the service is fantastic! It sounds kind of weird to say, but I think it's a sign of great service when people can compliment the food and flow of the evening and at the same time not remember seeing or hearing from the catering staff! Lauren at Salt Lick always responded so promptly to my questions and was very helpful when we were trying to figure out what catering would look like for a 'pandemic wedding'. Honestly, you can't go wrong choosing Salt Lick!

    Perfection on Platters!

    It was important to us to share local treats and eats with our family and friends, and it was a no-brainer to look into Salt Lick BBQ for our wedding caterer. They went above and beyond in their service and presentation! We opted for family style, and it felt like one great big family dinner which is exactly what we were hoping for. The food was amazing - and our out-of-town guests were in heaven right along with us! We have the best-ever leftovers for weeks :)

    Effortless

    Our wedding day was perfect! Everything was organized well, and the venue has a breathtaking view for guests to enjoy. The staff treated us well, and they accommodated our needs and requests. We felt relaxed, and we were able to enjoy our beautiful day!

    recommend!

    We got married at Pecan Grove and had a wonderful experience working with this venue. This is a naturally gorgeous venue that is always well kept regardless of what season it is which allowed us to save money and keep decorations pretty simple...pretty much floral centerpieces, candles, some cute signs and family photos, done! Rachel was very responsive to all of our questions leading up to the big day and all the staff we encountered were incredibly helpful and professional. We had both the ceremony and reception here so were able to utilize the bridal suite. The space was perfect for getting ready and for being able to step away and have a quick quiet moment with my husband during the festivities. Some of our family has had salt lick bbq before so were already thrilled that they were catering, but it was a special treat for our family who came from out of town. We kept hearing how full everyone was and that they went back for 2nds and 3rds!! We actually had more food that we needed due to some last minute cancellations but they allowed us to take the rest home. being extremely picky if i had to say anything not so great... I could not for the life of me find a place to hang my gown in the bridal suite. There was a clothing rack that would fit regular length clothes but could not find a high enough hook to keep it off the ground. My guess is that maybe it was there i just couldnt find it, but if it wasnt there i would suggest they add that. I ended up handing my dress on the top of one of the french doors. It also got pretty warm in there, but not sure they could have controlled it that much as there was a lot of people coming in and out. the reception area was temp controlled and very cool though. This was the first and only venue we looked at. Love at first site! Would certainly use again in the future

    Fabulous Venue and Staff!

    I had my wedding here on 10/20/18 and worked with Carson during the planning process. She responded to all of my emails extremely promptly - almost always within a couple hours! - and was very patient with me and my millions of questions. The day went off without a hitch and everyone had an amazing time. I want to get re-married here every year!! Thank you, Salt Lick team!!

    Authentic Texas BBQ

    Wanting to give our guests an authentic Austin experience meant live music and the best BBQ served from food truck. The Salt Lick did a great job. They were on time, professional, and delicious. 100% recommend.

Many of our guests were from out of town and we loved giving them a taste of delicious Texas BBQ. Everybody raved about how beautiful the space was and the pictures turned out gorgeous.

    Salt Lick catered our wedding, and seriously, that was some of the best BBQ I've ever had in my life! So many of our guests said the same thing. Everyone was raving. We wanted to give our out of town guests the Texas experience, and they did not disappoint. Use them!

    Salt Lick is the the BEST!

    I have had the pleasure of working with Salt Lick Catering on several occasions now and I can not recommend them enough. Not only is the food amazing, but the entire team is fantastic. Madison, Lauren, Bobby and Mike to name a few! Everyone is always so professional, helpful and friendly.

    Such a great full service caterer with killer food and pricing!

    Salt Lick BBQ's reply:

    Thank you Jazmin! You have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to many more events together!!

    The Wedding of Our Dreams

    This review is long-overdue. When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue, we researched several places around the country. There were spreadsheets and pro/con lists, and The Salt Lick was the clear winner. We both met in Texas, but live in New Jersey, and have family all over, so we needed something central. Not to mention the fact that The Salt Lick is our favorite Texas BBQ. From the beginning, everyone at the venue was so helpful and responsive, particularly since we were planning from afar. We chose Thurman's Mansion for our big day. We worked with Samantha, Carson, and Callie, and all of them were great - from the catering, to figuring out the open bar, to the ceremony and reception set up, to working with our vendors, and answering all of our many questions. We were able to set up our rehearsal for the day before, which went great. The day of, we were greeted with some snacks in our rooms where we got ready, as well as gifts (including some really comfy t-shirts). We had a good portion of the upstairs of the mansion to get ready (aside from their office space, which we were told before and was understandable), so we had plenty of room for our hair and makeup team, as well as other space for further preparations. We worked with the team before to set up the reception area, using a program provided by them where we could lay everything out. And everything was set up perfectly the day of. The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was so fun - the food was delicious, from the hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner, to the desserts (we had so many of our guests compliment the food, especially the BBQ), and the bartenders were great. (The Salt Lick was also able to accommodate several changes we requested to the alcohol menu, which we really appreciated.) We rented the festoon lights, as well as 2 cornhole games. Those were a hit, too. We could not have asked for a better place to host the best day of our lives. Thank you, Salt Lick and Thurman's Mansion!

    I cannot say enough nice things about Thurman's Mansion (one of the Salt Lick venues) and especially Carson Saldivar. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. You don't have to worry about hiring a caterer as Salt Lick makes the food on-site. Many of our guests were from out of town and we loved providing them the best BBQ in the world! Our guests told us it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The hill country views from the venue were spectacular. Carson, Adrian, and the rest of the Thurman's Mansion staff did an amazing job and worked really hard to make our wedding beautiful and easy for us to plan. They were easy going and went out of their way to accommodate all of our crazy questions and requests. We had an amazing time! Thank you Thurman's Mansion, the Salt Lick and Carson!

    Thurman's was the perfect venue for us! We loved its size, the beautiful view and the well-situated ceremony site. We served their famous Salt Lick BBQ and our guests loved it! The appetizers were great, the bar package was perfect, the service was timely. I had so much fun at my wedding-they helped make it possible.

    My husband and I got married at the Pecan Grove on February 11th, 2017, and from this moment, I have ZERO complaints for negative comments. From the very beginning of the process of selecting the venue, the venue coordinator, Carson, was very helpful with everything. Every time my husband and i had a question, Carson made it so easy to contract her and ask her all type of questions. In her quick responses, she provided all the information we needed to know and made the process very easy. From selecting the meal option, to the layout of the chairs, Carson made it easy. I'll be honest and say getting married here is a little pricey but at the end its ALL WORH IT!! From this day, we still get told that the food, the peach cobbler the service, the drinks were ALL AMAZING! So like i said, the price is well worth it and i could see myself coming back on our 25th or 30th anniversary and celebrating it there. In conclusion...SALT LICK is the BEST BBQ JOINT IN TEXAS. So good, that my husband and i should be back there in a couple weeks just to eat the same meal we had on our wedding day.

    A family member told us to look at this venue...This was our first wedding in our family. We live in the Dallas area.
    Thurman Mansion is a beautiful venue...The view is over looking the hill country. The food was wonderful. Many of our guest remarked about getting a beautiful place and the food was outstanding. Along with the ambience, the food, the staff was so professional throughout the whole process of our planning throughout the wedding. Jena our coordinator was always available when ever i called. She answered every email in a timely matter, offered every service and tool to see how our room could be laid out with tables and chairs. There were not any surprises with extra fees. Jena communicated well and made sure every detail was taken care of. We were very pleased.

    We wanted to have a beautiful, laid-back wedding at Spicewood Vineyards with delicious food...so naturally we booked Salt Lick. My husband and I love Salt Lick already but we did look around to find the best price for our 180-person guest list. We compared highly-rated food vendors and more casual options - but Salt Lick won on overall price AND taste, even compared to the more casual options. We got the tomato bruschetta appetizers for our cocktail hour and the chicken/brisket combo for dinner. Callie at Salt Lick was quick to respond to our questions and worked with us when we requested to bring in our own plates. They were on-time and brought delicious food. Our guests told us how much they enjoyed dinner - no bland chicken dishes here at our wedding, no way! My parents were able to take home the leftovers for the next day. Overall, great experience, excellent service, and yummy food for a great price!

    Our wedding was at Pecan Grove this August, and I couldn't recommend the venue more wholeheartedly! My husband and I planned the wedding from overseas, and our coordinators were super flexible in working out the details from afar. In fact, we chose Pecan Grove because they did most of the work for us - they have a set bar vendor, plus they do set-up, clean-up, decorations, and catering (my relatives from Germany lost their minds over The Salt Lick's BBQ). Pecan Grove itself (where we had our ceremony) is even more beautiful than I realized from the photos before we arrived in person, and the glass-walled pavilion was perfect for the reception (and COOL...very important in the August Texas heat!). The event staff were all impressive professionals, not to mention down-to-earth nice people, who made the reception run like clockwork. In short, every aspect of the wedding and The Salt Lick's venue and staff exceeded my expectations, and I'd get married at Pecan Grove again in a heartbeat!

    Best BBQ we have ever had and we could not believe we were getting them to cater our wedding. A couple of our friends told us they were looking forward to the food more than the wedding haha.

    Service was perfect and efficient. Everything went off without a hitch. Thank you Salk Lick!

    We choose to have our celebration at the Pecan Grove. Our contact with Pecan Grove was Megan Burley. She was wonderful, very sweet and responded to any questions or concerns we had promptly. She was very professional and made sure to get every detail so that the day went smoothly. We would highly recommend Megan and Pecan Grove for your special day or any event. It has a beautifully rustic decor and a nice surrounding outdoors area. We had our event catered by SaltLick BBQ and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.

    We served over 300 guests at my daughter's wedding on 5/16/15 in Dripping Springs and everyone loved the food; it was just like being at Saltlicks. Food that was supposed to be hot was and everything that was supposed to be cold was and it all tasted amazing! We served buffet style and the staff kept everything fully stocked. The staff also helped set up and breakdown the tables and chairs at the venue. Very friendly staff & efficient.
