Trove pick: the Hill Country BBQ pilgrimage — BYOB, cash-friendly
Other
No discount, but worth flagging: Salt Lick is cash-only at the original Driftwood location and BYOB (no liquor license), which means a couple bringing their own beer can eat very well for under what a comparable steakhouse appetizer costs. The brisket-sausage-ribs platter and the family-style all-you-can-eat are both Austin rites of passage.
Editorial pick. The Hill Country BBQ pilgrimage. Cash-only at the original Driftwood location and BYOB — bring your own beer and the bill at the end is gentler than the destination dining tier it occupies. The family-style all-you-can-eat platter is the move.
