Great balance between vinegar and sweet and a nice black pepper kick. We had our two Jack Russell pups with us (Whisky and Pippa). They shared a half chicken. We both LOVED the small bites of the chicken we "tested" before letting the pups have their lunch. The family who owned the business are kind,friendly and amazing cooks. Thank you for the perfect lunch and warm hospitality. Mona

Fabulous barbecue! Drove to Llano on SH 29. It's on the right before you get in town…read more Inconspicuous signage says it's only open Saturday and Sunday. Opens at 11. You get to Tumlinson's before you reach the much more popular and more crowded Cooper's in town. Arrived around 1:30 on Saturday and there was only one car in the parking lot. No one else in the restaurant but no matter, the food is incredible! I don't believe there is something as the "best" barbecue. I think that there is a sort of supreme level that has a great smoke ring, a great bark, quality meat and basically melts in your mouth. So tender you can break it up with a fork but I might use a knife so I can create smaller pieces. THIS PLACE IS ALL OF THAT with perfect rendering and a master class in what a brisket should be. 5 out of 5. As good as any I have ever had and what I expect as the top of what barbecue brisket can be. The ribs were cooked perfectly with bountiful meat on the bone. The rub was not noteworthy but they were tasty and led me to use the sauce. The sauce is excellent - thick and vinegarry with a hint of sweetness. Only ordered one side - the potato salad. Much better than most. Not what I would put in the best category but totally worth eating. The pickles and onions? Wow! I wouldn't bother mentioning unless they were amazing. (Or terrible.) These were amazing! What I loved was that they cut up the onions in chunks rather than slices. The pickles were chunks of whole dills and not canned sliced pickles. Finally, I'll get to the ambiance. It's spacious with lots of seating inside. Good a/c. Two small windows that look out across the beautiful Hill Country for miles. Since the wildflowers were in epic form on the drive, the view was amazing this day. But it would be excellent without them. I should have taken a picture but I was too busy eating. We left Tumlinson's SmokyTop and went to Cooper's and as a comparison, I give the edge to Tumlinson's. The briskets were both in the same top echelon of what I expect a smoked brisket to be, but I think Tumlinson's was just slightly better. But where Tumlinson's crushes Cooper's is in the ambiance/atmosphere. Cooper's seating is indoor with no real outdoor tables. So you eat in a confined, windowless room that is not inviting. No music playing. Tumlinson's with no one else in it was memorable. I couldn't wait to get out of Cooper's. Felt a little creepy. Finally, Tumlinson's was selling brisket at $24 per pound while Cooper's was $26.99. This part is insignificant to me for the most part but there is a real price difference. Final verdict - Tumlinson's 5 out of 5. Cooper's 4.8 out of 5.

The building is always spotless. Most of the time, Mr. Miiller is behind the counter. My guess is that when Mr. Miiller is not behind the counter greeting guests, he is working back in the kitchen. They have an excellent selection of chicken, meats, sausages, stuffed jalapenos, and more. Their smoked/ fully cooked sausages are amazing. Don't forget their baked potato salad, as it is the best I've ever tasted. Excellent desserts as well!

I wanted to have an idea of what was served so I could tell my husband who was at spider mountain. I went to pick him up and returned, I ordered a whole chicken and a brisket sandwich. They did not disappoint. Chicken was fall of the bone and the sandwich was loaded with meat. I got 2 sodas and the first cup of beans are free. Randy took the time to talk to us, which shows how much he cares about his business . He did this with everyone who walked in. I would recommend and make this a permanent dining establishment for me when I'm in town. This place is cash only.
