According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best value for money restaurant in Texas is The Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood and Round Rock.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best value for money restaurant in the entire state:
"In a state famous for barbecue, standing out isn't easy – but that's exactly what Salt Lick does, both because of its reputation and its affordable prices. Located around a half hour's drive from Austin, this meat-lovers' paradise serves everything you could dream of (think brisket, pork, beef and bison ribs, turkey, sausage, chicken, pulled pork, and more). All plates come with potato salad, coleslaw, and beans, but you'll find the real value in the family-style deal – all-you-can-eat meat with all the trimmings for around $30. Come hungry!"
