Food looked good. So, I ate it! Lean brisket, sausage, pork ribs, potato salad, cole slaw, beans and mac. Plate was served with 3 bbq sauces to try. All the meat had lovely texture and tenderness. Brisket was the star, not overly salted. Didnt care for the sweetness of the pork ribs, but the sausage was sausage. Potao salad was interestingly fine? Cole slaw was alrighty then-but i salt n peppered it up and swallered it down. Counter service with kinda friendly younger folks. Nice Historic atmosphere.

There's Shiner Beer neon sign, but alas...no Shiner (or any other beer) to wash down the very tasty BBQ. I will definitely make a return visit next time I'm in the area! Edit: Apparently you can BYOB. read more

OMG, born and raised in Texas and have been to many bbq competitions. This is the BEST BBQ I've ever had. The beef rib is a must!! We also loved the sliced brisket and burnt ends. End with the banana pudding! Our second time to be here and 100% recommend. Cannot wait to be in the area again to go back!! read more

James Award for Culinary Excellence Winner Louis Mueller Barbecue is a Texas Treasure. The decor is rustic and smoke laden, just as any Barbecue place developed. The Old neon Grocery sign reminds us of the roots of this longtime, family business in Taylor, Texas. They take your order in line and by the time you are finishing at the register your food is handed to you on a tray and you go find a table. We sat in the adjoining room, which was less smoky. I had Brisket Burnt Ends, Pork Ribs, Cole Slaw and Beans. My brother had Brisket, Sausage, Cole Slaw and Beans. A side of warm Barbecue Sauce was provided along with Bread, Sliced Pickles, and Onions, as is customary in Texas. It was all wonderful, as always. Tender, juicy, just fantastic Central Texas Barbecue. Go on, get ya some. You will be glad you did. read more

it's been about a year and a half since the last time I ate here. Chopped Brisket Sandwich Still Excellent!!! plus Great friendly service.

I went back again today to get a stamp in my Texas Monthly Top 50 Passport, and opted for the 10 Gallon Sandwich. Holy smokes. What a monolith of a sandwich. Very well done and for that thing, a side, a drink, and a tip all in at $30, not a bad eat. The potato salad was very "eh" this time, but it's out done by the sandwich's raw power. It's nice to be close to the oldest BBQ restaurant on the Texas Monthly list. A historic monument. The rest of my thoughts are in my previous review. read more

Louie Mueller Barbecue - Sold out sign - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Texas

See all

TLDR: A historic temple of Central Texas barbecue that still delivers solid meats, but uneven sides and desserts keep it just short of a must-visit. Overview: Louie Mueller Barbecue in downtown Taylor is one of those places that lives in the lore of Texas barbecue. The old Main Street building, stained from decades of smoke and stories, feels every bit the cathedral of smoke that so many pitmasters talk about. This spot, recognized as one of America's Classics by James Beard and a member of Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints of 2025, has nudged more than a few future pitmasters toward a life of barbecuing. Walking in, you feel the history before you ever see your tray. On my Saturday visit, right at opening, the logistics were pleasantly low drama. A small crowd gathered at the same time, but I did not really wait in line. Being right on Main Street, I could see parking being tough at peak times, but I had no trouble and even grabbed a spot right out front. Inside, the vibe is exactly what you hope for in an old-line Central Texas joint: a little worn and very lived in. Food: I went with a three-meat plate of brisket, spare ribs, and sausage, plus coleslaw and mac and cheese, and added both a beef rib and peach cobbler. The brisket was solid: moist, nicely smoky, and well seasoned, with a clear beef-forward flavor and no issues with dryness. The bark and smoke were on point, but it was not quite exceptional. The spare ribs leaned sweet, tender, and approachable. They were solid and easy to enjoy. The sausage had a pleasant kick, stayed moist, and was seasoned well. Taken together, the core meats were all good, competent, and satisfying, but they did not feel like the best versions of themselves that you can find within an hour's drive of Austin. The beef rib was the clear standout. It came with a pepper-forward bark, juicy interior, and that rich, beefy depth that makes Texas beef ribs such a destination item. This is the meat that justifies the stop and the price. At $60-$80/rib, it is not cheap, but it is the signature experience here. The sides did not keep pace. The coleslaw tasted like almost nothing: more texture than flavor. The mac and cheese was fine in the moment, but a tad watery and carried an artificial note that kept it from being true comfort food. The dessert, peach cobbler, had the right idea with its crust and crumble, but needed more actual peaches and a bit more spice to really pop. It felt like a template that could be great with a few tweaks. Where Louie Mueller still shines is the value of the core meats. With brisket at $35/lb, ribs at $20/lb, and sausage at $5/link, the pricing is very reasonable given the quality and the pedigree. If you build your tray around the meats, especially that beef rib, you will feel like you got your money's worth. Final Thoughts: Louie Mueller Barbecue remains an important stop in the story of Texas barbecue, and that history and atmosphere are a big part of the appeal. If you are the kind of person who enjoys visiting culturally significant places, this is absolutely worth a visit, and you will get good food. If what you want is a totally dialed-in barbecue experience, there are other spots in the greater Austin area that execute more completely right now. For me, it lands as a fringe recommendation. Go for the legacy, and you will walk out happy; just do not expect every side and bite to match the myth. read more

Superb, tender & moist BBQ'd #brisket, even without the extra sauce I found in my 'to go' bag! I walked in for a biz mtg, after the earlier lunch rush, thankful they still had brisket to sell! Clean, smokey #BBQ interior smell.. fresh! The #PotatoSalad was a bit spicy, Texanized', rather than trad #German, but still tasty. They have street & private lot parking available, so you'll always get a space... as long as they're not having live music and, then, you'll probably have to park a little bit farther away to enjoy an afternoon at #MuellersBBQ, but worth the stroll. Besides... parking further away, gives you the added plus of being able to burn off a few calories! I will definitely be back!! read more

What can I say about this complete Texas experience that I have been doing for over 10 years now? When I was first introduced to this place, I was uneducated on just what "low and slow" really achieved. Wow! I never knew brisket could be that delicious! The beef rib.... OMG! Bring a friend or two. It's about two pounds of goodness, like nothing you have ever had before. I don't even know how the meat stays on the bone to serve the pork ribs, seasoned and smoked to perfection. The pulled pork with some coleslaw wrapped in a slice of bread with some savory sauce is one of my go to's if you are more into the sandwich type items. I had given up on ever finding a sausage worth eating until my niece convinced me to try it here. I always rather had the other meats. Of course it was outstanding and thanks to her, another must have. I have been riding my horse into town to specifically enjoy Louie Mueller BBQ for many years, often bringing friends on horse back with me. I think we once had 8 horses tied up out back. We were always warmly welcomed to come on into this historical building with our authentic mode of transportation. My family loves it when I bring them here when visiting from out of state or when I stuff a beef rib in my suitcase when going to visit them. You can really taste the hours of care that has been put into this bbq, to bring a mouth watering smile to your face! Come try it for yourself, you will have no regrets! If you do, you better stick to McRibs because you wouldn't know good bbq if it slapped you in the face! If you see a horse tied up out back, it could be me! read more

Commuted in from Houston. Service was really great. We are not picky, people ahead of us were and the patience and kindness exhibited by the staff was impressive. Love the Mac n cheese. The beef rib was good but not as moist as I was used to and our burnt ends hit and miss. The smoked chicken was very good. read more

Owned and managed by the third generation proprietor of the Mueller family, Louie Mueller has consistently made any list of the best BBQ joints in Texas (and as Texans would proudly tell you, then by association making it the list of the best BBQ places in the country). It has earned its James Beard Classics award, continuing to serve its brand of BBQ in this location in Taylor, Texas since 1959. My nephew made it a critical stop during our day trip to Austin, which turned out to be a good choice. We found street parking about a block out and walked the sidewalk of old Taylor, passing by a couple of antique shops. The line hadn't stretched out the door yet, but it existed inside. Once we passed through the wooden swinging doors, the smell of smoke from Texas post oak was distinctive and beckoning. The food is given to you before you leave the line, so it does take a bit of time to move. It did give us a chance to reconfirm what we wanted: we ordered a lot more that we could dine-in, wanting to bring back the BBQ back to my nephew's place in Houston. The line passes the self-serve soda machine, so most people were filling up their drinks while waiting. Once we got to the front, we saw the owner/proprietor (third generation pitmaster, and grandson of the restaurant's namesake), manning the line along with his crew. It's a very efficient process: everything is given to you on a small platter, getting bigger as different prepared food is piled on it. Nothing is self-serve here, so things like raw onions/pickles and white bread must be asked. Since we had ordered meats priced by the pound, the weight needed to be passed to the cashier before we could be checked out. It was the most expensive barbeque I've ever had, but was expected and not a surprise. We were guided by signs to the large dining room next door; it had plenty of group seating and was air conditioned. They had a small station where you can cut your own butcher paper along with paper bags for leftovers. We dug in; 2 beef ribs (priced at $39 per pound, so including the bone, our 2 ribs cost $123.63, about 1.5 lbs per rib) - this is the reason why you would come here, and it was indeed excellent...such a thick, peppery bark with tender meat but with substantial chew...with noticeable shrinkage to make the bone stick out even more. Nothing you could make at home, and most likely not many bbq restaurants either. I guess one rib could be devoured by a real hungry person (making one feel like a cave man), but we ended up eating maybe 1/2 of one rib between the two of us. If you wanted to sample the other meats, I think one rib could easily be split across 4 people. brisket ($33 per pound) - we asked for it moist (probably from the point), and it was good. The price is very comparable to what other places charge, and it was definitely a good brisket....though probably not trip-worthy. Jalapeno Sausage ($4.75 per link) - confirming other reviews, this does not include cheese, just chopped jalapeno. Now I definitely know that I like jalapeno cheese in my sausage, not just jalapeno. We asked for pickles, onions, and sliced bread which were given to us at checkout. It helped me cut through the richness of the ribs and brisket. In terms of the sides, it was surprisingly skippable. There aren't many choices, and we got three of them ($2.75 each). The potato salad and cole slaw would have been better served just getting it from a neighborhood grocery deli, and the pinto beans were so not flavored that my nephew stopped after one bite. It is very clear that the focus here is on the meats and trying to maintain the tradition from the 1950's. In reality, the very high price of the ribs and the not good sides would move this closer to an OK...but coming here for the first time is an experience and a memory maker, especially with great companionship. So I choose to rate it based on as an experience, and in that regard, it was enjoyable and good. read more

Some folks chase fame, others chase fortune. I chase brisket. By the end of a long Saturday BBQ road trip with my daughter, I was chasing one more stamp and one last slice of smoky glory. TL;DR: Brisket late in the day? Risky. Brisket this good? Worth it. Banana pudding? I didn't even look for a spoon, I just used eye contact. Louie Mueller is still strutting on the TM Top 50 list for a reason. The truck was aimed home, the gas tank was half full, and the stomach was running on hopes and hickory. At 3:30 p.m., with 30 minutes to spare, we rolled up to Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, Texas. The place looked like it had been smoke-seasoned since the Eisenhower administration, and I mean that as a compliment. I waltzed up to the counter, cool as a smoked cucumber. "Brisket only," I declared. No distractions. No fluff. No sides. I'm here for the meat sermon. But just when I was about to close the tab, someone behind the counter winked at my soul and whispered the two magic words: banana pudding. Now let me tell you something. I may be strong, but I ain't made of stone. I caved. And Lord, am I glad I did. The brisket was doing its full smoky strut. Peppery bark with just the right crunch. Juicy center with zero dry patches. It was like biting into a piece of Texas gospel. And this wasn't some leftover 3:30 p.m. afterthought brisket. This was full-bodied, bold, and tender enough to make your eyes water and your belt cry. And then came that banana pudding. Y'all. It looked like it had been whipped by angels and dusted with sass. Creamy? Yes. Sweet? Naturally. The wafers? Crunchy and holding their own. I don't usually go for sides, but this wasn't a side. It was a flirt. My wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, would've fallen in love with it on the spot. I didn't even offer her a bite. She wasn't there. And if she had been, I would've fought her for it. Louie Mueller brought the heat, even when the coals were cooling. The brisket was worth the detour and the banana pudding walked away with its own trophy. The old-school atmosphere? You can't fake that. The smoke-stained walls have stories, and one of them now has my name on it. This was stamp #32, and it earned every drop of ink. We're deep into the Top 50 now, and Louie Mueller just smoked its way into the highlight reel. Only 18 more to go before I need a new passport, a gym membership, or both. Dad Joke Sign-Off: Why did the brisket get promoted? Because it meats every expectation. read more

We dropped in for the first time. Three of us had brisket, sasuage, and each a pork ribs. All of it was delicious. But the pork ribs were the best I have ever had. They were lerfect, ten out of ten. read more

Lean brisket was pretty good. Pulled pork was flavorless, sausage was decent, chicken was dry, coleslaw needed salt, Mac and cheese was mid at best. You can tell this place has been here for a long time. For a place that's supposed to be a best of Texas, I'm not sure I would go back. I think I can find better brisket around here. Service was good, and very friendly. Ambiance was interesting, definitely an old feeling. read more

We sure enjoy working our way through the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ joints. This one sure did not disappoint! We ordered bbq to go and ordered one pound of delicious brisket and one quarter pound of brisket burnt ends along with a pint each of potato salad and pinto beans. The meat was very yummy but can I just say that the homemade pinto beans were outstanding? They tasted like the most delicious ranch style beans that you have EVER tried! They were very good. I simply loved the old building and smoke covered EVERYTHING within this amazing bbq joint! I highly recommend this place! read more

We love the BBQ! We live in Nacogdoches and any time we are going to be near we make plans to stop. This visit was on the way to pick up an off road vehicle near Pfluggerville and we were towing a trailer. Thankfully we arrived just as they were opening and were able to park. The place hasn't changed, we love the rustic atmosphere. They served us our lunch and packed our To Go order which we shared with friends in Hamilton at dinner time. They were impressed with the food, and how well it was packed for the long trip. We enjoyed Louie Mueller BBQ twice in one day. What a BONUS!! read more

I drove three hours to get here for lunch. It was well worth the trip! I love the old school BBQ joint look and feel. Not fancy. It doesn't need to nor should it be. The staff couldn't have been any more awesome. They were patient with me while I couldn't make my damn mind up. So I got what o usually do. Brisket, a mix of lean and fatty. This was God damn on point! Couldn't have been any better. Pulled pork. Juicy, tender and tasty. Jalapeño link. Great flavor and not a lot of heat. I like it hot and this didn't anger me. Frito pie. Divine! Fritos, chopped brisket, pinto beans and cheese. I topped it with the spicier of the two sauces and it was perfect! I was told to leave the tray on the table when I was done. So glad I got here to check another off the bucket list! read more

Rustic decor. Service is friendly and they have a pretty good assembly line style of system to move people through. Brisket was good. The lean cuts were a bit dry, but they give you a small cup of consommé. Ribs were perfect. Good flavor and fall off the bone. Jalapeños sausage had a little heat and good flavor, also an interesting texture I wasn't expecting. The spicy sauce was my favorite. The potato salad was okay, but a little overworked, so its consistency was more akin to mashed potatoes than potato salad. Fair value but a bit pricey. Overall a good experience. read more

Old school Texas BBQ! Brisket was superb, slaw was excellent, and the Jalapeno sausage was great, too. Definitely no frills, but if you don't care so much about ambience but want some of the best BBQ in Austin, take the drive out to Taylor. read more

Hands-down my favorite BBQ joint. I'm extremely picky about BBQ. I grew up in Austin, and visit every couple of years. Every time I drive out here just to get BBQ. I have four great uncles that have owned BBQ restaurants. I smoke my own in Seattle (Since it's the only way to get good BBQ there.), and have been tending pits since I was 4. Every time I've been here everything has been perfect. Everyone here is super nice, helpful, and just plain awesome. My general preference for BBQ is Brisket, Sausage, then everything else. Here the beef rib is king. Absolutely the best. Save a little room for the peach cobbler with ice cream. Seriously worth it. I forgot to take a picture of it because I ate it too fast. Not so secret: If you're worried about them running out of something before you go, call ahead. read more

Louie Mueller catered a meeting for my company, and they went above and beyond. Jackie was incredibly organized, professional, communicative, and thorough with our order. The food was incredible and delivered in a timely manner and kept hot. My company was very impressed with the food and presentation. The BBQ is tender and juicy, the mac and cheese is to die for, but the customer service is what makes this place. I will definitely be back! So grateful! read more

If you want to go here for legendary bbq then go to check it off your list. The atmosphere is true old school bbq style...walking in history while taking the smoke with you when you leave. The service staff were nothing but rude. No other way to describe that. The brisket was melt in your mouth good and juicy but the potato salad could use some improvement. The regular and jalapeño sausage was ok. According to my husband, we won't be going back. Good service with a smile goes a long way. read more

Been eating brisket here since 1977 and it's as good now as it was then. Legendary. Keep up the good work, Wayne and co.

I came just for them big ol' Flinstones ribs. I don't know what kind of cow they got that from but my goodness. You'll need sauce cuz the meat is like most places where it's not seasoned and greasy. Sides are not as good as I would like. But they do have peach cobbler. I couldn't even eat all the food. Much less a desert too. You'll spend over $60 for the ribs sides and soda, but at least it's enough for two people. read more

Wanted to try a new place for barbecue and a friend recommended this place. The meat was definitely good. I had the pork ribs. The seasoning on them was minimal but it worked for just enough flavor. I would definitely get them again. There was a sauce that came with it that was kinda thin and I didn't like that but the sauce in the bottle on the tables was perfect. Sweet and tangy. The side dishes left something to be desired but that's the case with most barbecue places. Salt Licks aren't any better. I had macaroni and potato salad. The service was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. They were out of a lot of things but we arrived an hour before close. There's plenty of parking on the side and ample tables. Even if you have a large party, you should be good. read more

First time in this amazing town with lots of character. We smelled the BBQ before we saw the restaurant. We followed the amazing aroma to Louie Mueller's BBQ! Rustic and cool place we walked in and was greeted immediately and with sincerity by Japonica. Since it was my first time I always feel the pressure of what should I order and of course I hold up lines. This time was not that time! Donna greeted me at the counter with amazing customer service. I told her it was our first time and she immediately asked us questions to help us decide. She got our names and was very friendly. She acknowledged us by our names and I really liked that. I felt at home. I haven't even gotten to the good part yet!!! The food was sooo good. Had brisket (juicy), spare ribs, beans, potato salad, peach cobbler, banana pudding. Brisket was very tender and tasty no need for the sauce. It was amazing without it. I did try with sauce also. All 3 sauces were good. Potato salad was good as well, mustard type salad not Mayo. Beans were very tasty and had a little spice to it. The deserts were both good but the Peach Cobbler was my fave. Highly recommend this place. The customer service was top notch and so was the food read more

Simply the very best. read more

Super cool place in a rustic downtown area. I seeped inside about 1:00 and was afraid they may be sold out, but found they were still fully stocked. I was behind a group of 8 that I followed through the counter service line. It moved fast and efficiently. The lady taking the orders appeared to be the straw boss keeping everything and everyone on track. Food was up on 5 minutes, and I carried it and my self serve drink to my table after paying. I only got brisket, pickles, and onions. I wanted a beef rib, but found the price higher than I wanted to spend on lunch. The brisket was good, but not the best I've ever had. I asked for moist, but received lean. The seasoning was good, but not great. I will definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

Some call Mueller BBQ "the cathedral of smoke" because of the very tall ceiling richly dark colored with decades of barbeque smoke. It is inside an old brick building in a commercial strip in downtown Taylor. The first we time we rode our bikes over, we arrived about 3PM and they were out of "Q" for the day and the outer screen door was locked. The smell drove us nuts. Next visit, we sprinted over from COTA to make certain to arrive early. There was no AC, just fans blowing inside which I translated as "Old School". The staff was matter-of-factly but the service was quick. We split 2 pounds of moist end brisket, no sides. Served on a tray. The brisket was everything you'd expect of Central Texas BBQ: large slices, tender, moist and smokey with a great smoke ring. The house sauce was clear and similar to an au jus. Bonus: we smelled like Mueller smoke for hours afterwards. Mueller serves real deal Central Texas barbeque in a truly legit location. read more

Great food. We've been going there for many years. Lines tend to form early, especially on Fridays and S

Sorry but this is the worse BBQ I ever had in my life. I had the 2 meat plate with brisket and chicken. The chicken was dry and the brisket was very salty for my two sides. I had coleslaw beans the coleslaw tasted and looked very old and the beans were bland needed salt. A higher recommend that you save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how yummy the food was at Louie Mueller. We original just ordered a small order of their ribs but after having one bite, I had to back in line and order more.

This place is legendary. Very old classic style BBQ joint. I've been trying to go here forever. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and old school design. I think this place has the best BBQ sausage I had ever eaten. Super meaty and the snapping. The spice kick to it is amazing. The pork ribs cooked to perfection with the most unique flavor.

Super friendly service and great atmosphere. The food was good - but the meat was either room temp or cooler than room temperature. The pinto beans were fine and the mac and cheese were pretty standard. Tried the burnt ends, wet brisket and chicken. The chicken was the best in my opinion but I think that's because the beef was cold and the fat wasn't at its best. Friend got a baked potato with chopped brisket. The potato was steaming hot but the brisket was cold. read more

Driving home from Austin Texas and had to make a stop at Louie Mueller Barbecue. Husband and I are driving around Texas eating at the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ spots so of course we had to stop at Louie Mueller Barbecue, this place is historic. This place is located in a small town near Austin and yet it feels so cute and quiet. So the process here is you walk up to the counter and order meats first, then sides, then extras like, pickles, onions & bread. We placed our order to go as this was the 4th place for us on a busy Thursday in June as we made our way home to Houston. We arrived at Louie Mueller Barbecue around 12:30pm on a Thursday and found a very short line!! And yes they still had brisket. We ordered some brisket, sausage & pork ribs and yes we had to taste it before we got back into our vehicle and let me just say all was good. But after eating lots of delicious brisket in Austin I can say that the brisket at Louie Mueller was good not great. Perhaps we came on an off day. Please know that they have a large dining area but this place has NO air conditioning. All was good and I do recommend this place as it is historic. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. You have been officially warned so if you choose to try this place anyway that is on you. Where do I even start. 1. The ordering was an absolute nightmare. The lady taking the orders was so incredibly rude. She expects you to spit out what you want fast so quickly figure it out and be sure to rapid fire or be prepared to hear "AND?" Rudely and repetitively until you are done. Also, you are expected to know exactly which fountain drink you plan to get yourself (why in the world she needs to know this is ridiculous) so go check out the fountain drinks before ordering. You then move along to the cashier but do not dare try to pay until your food is ready. Just awkwardly stand around until they call your name. Then decide if you want to hold your trays while trying to pay or leave it there, pay and then get the food. Ok so once you get through that weird ordeal oh and it's worth mentioning the guy taking your money also has a bad attitude so you get to double down in case the lady wasn't bad enough. 2. The food was an absolute 100% letdown. I will post a pic so you can see how thin the brisket was cut. This isn't lunch meat or a Philly cheesesteak. You do not cut brisket like this. PERIOD. It definitely seemed like it was reheated. No smoke, no flavor at all. Onto the frito pie. This is shredded cheese on top of Fritos with pieces of brisket. It was so freaking dry and the cheese is not even melted so this was again a complete waste of money. We also had a baked potato with brisket. Super basic, nothing special at all. The brisket was dry and tough. The 3 meat plate was a joke. You pay $4 extra for this terrible brisket, get 1 pork rib and some sausage. The sides were just as lackluster. I am honestly shocked this place is still in business with this quality of food and service. I get it's a small town and options are limited but the people of Taylor deserve so much better. Keep on driving there are much better options ahead. read more

I loved everything about the place except the food... the workers were very helpful and friendly. The main room is warm and filled with smoke like an old style BBQ joint. Unfortunately the sides were all bland, no seasoning at all on any of them and no difference in flavors between any of them. The brisket was mediocre and had no bark or flavor other than smoke. No salt or pepper to be found on anything other than the pork ribs. These were seasoned ok and actually had flavor however they were served cold. I was really excited to try this place and was pretty disappointed in the food. Would be a cool place to chill and eat some ribs while drinking a beer. But if you're craving barbecue, I'd maybe make a drive elsewhere. read more
