“Heads up, BBQ fans. Unfortunately, we’ve had a little fire in one of our buildings today,” Salt Lick BBQ said in a Facebook post. “Everything is under control and everyone is okay and we are still open, but please be aware wait time may be a bit longer today since we are only able to be open in one of our buildings. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
