In Austin, we decided to go to "The Salt Lick" for lunch, which was also featured on the Food Network. They are very similar to Rudy's, except maybe a little more like a restaurant - with waiters who take your order instead of getting in line and ordering for yourself like Rudy's. Although both places were good, John and I preferred The Salt Lick over Rudy's in the end ... except for Rudy's creamed corn. Can't beat that! It's an age old debate about what's the best place for bbq in Texas. If you make it down to San Antonio or Austin, either place is highly recommended.
In the evening, we went to visit the infamous Sixth Street in Austin - a one stop 6 - 7 block resource for live music, clubs, events, dining, lodging, entertainment, art, bands and more. We happened to be there on Bike week, so we got to see some pretty cool bikes parked all along the street. The bars try to run specials to get people to come into their place, so we got $1 and $2 shot specials. We consider it a different version Philly's South Street or Olde City. It is definitely a good place to visit with a group of friends.
