Stopped by that new joint in Austin and their brisket bark was way too salty

Went to Smokehouse 42 last weekend, got their famous brisket plate for $28. The bark looked perfect, dark and crusty, but the first bite was like licking a salt block. My buddy said it's 'Texas style' but I've had Franklin's and it's never that aggressive. Honestly think they're overcompensating for something. Anyone know a spot in town that nails the seasoning balance?

Ever try their ribs? Same problem.

But is it a real problem or just not your thing? I've had worse.
