From the perspective of a central Texas lifer as far as BBQ is concerned, Saltlick is the best overall, Smitys and Blacks in Lockhart are very good brisket and sausage. If you want some of the best ribs you'll ever find try City Market in Luling!! OMG! When the copilot and I go there we don't get anything but ribs. No beans, potato salad, nothing but ribs. I also make sure I get enough to take home.
I am from San Antonio and a great BBQ and motorcycle friendly place to visit is the Texas Pride BBQ place south of town off IH10 and Loop 1604. Bike Night every Thursday night. http://www.texaspridebbq.net/

Are you going to join us at Saltlick? Those ribs are good....but Salt is the whole sha bang!
You guys are in for a treat at Saltlick - they must have had several hundred lbs of meat smoking when we went. Potato salad is probably best I ever ate. I'm for whatever the majority votes for but it would be a great ride and food.
