What's in the box: Orders center on smoked Texas barbecue such as the Roberts Family Special, with optional house sauces and rubs.
The Salt Lick is a barbecue restaurant in Driftwood, Texas that has been open since 1967. It also has locations in Round Rock and at the Austin airport. The recipes come from the Roberts family, who trace their cooking back to the mid-1800s. If you live outside Texas, the site sends you to Goldbelly to order shipped barbecue. Its own shop pages also list meal kits, sauces, rubs and merchandise. The main suggested order is the Roberts Family Special, a sampler of the restaurant's barbecue. The site also suggests adding sauces and rubs if you want to cook with them at home. What the site does not clearly describe is a recurring subscription. It shows no plan, no delivery schedule and no explanation of how a repeating box would work. If you want a monthly club, confirm the details at checkout before you commit. The main site does not list prices or shipping terms, since Goldbelly handles orders. On the plus side, the site links to reheating instructions, allergen information and an FAQ. That helps anyone getting smoked meat by mail. If you want to try a well known Texas barbecue restaurant at home, this is a credible choice. If you specifically want an ongoing grilling subscription, this looks more like one-off orders than a true box service.
