Fantastic pies of course, but also good small town atmosphere and a real love for people and food.  You'll be glad you made the trip.  Always call before you head out there (their schedule is sometimes unpredictable) and if you want to just get pie…More »

My favorite bakery in Austin.  Go for the food and people watch if you have the time.  Coffee is ok, but not great.  You come here for the cakes, muffins and other delightful pastries.

Their blueberry bran muffin is my favorite muffin anywhere.

Okay, I grew up in Driftwood and have had the pleasure of dining at the Salt Lick on over 500 occassions.  I watched it grow from weekday lunch to the institution it's become today.  A few thoughts...

The sauce and atmosphere really make this place.…More »
