Louie Muellers BBQ

• ★★★★½ Brisket Visited Mar 7, 2023

  Items Sell Out By Noonish. Arrive Early To Get Your Meal

  The brisket and sausage here are good, but the sides are where the restaurant is lacking. They have coleslaw, potato salad, mac-n-cheese, & pinto beans, but none of them were great. Other options like single serving chips were also available.
  
  BBQ Meat items sell out, which can be determined by whether a flag is present on the sidewalk curb. If you arrive late (after 1pm) be prepared for minimal selection.
  
  The brisket here is some of the best brisket I've had. I was introduced to Louie Muellers by a friend of mine who lives in the area. I love brisket that is moist, meaning it has some fat around the edges, and a good peppery crust or "bark" as they call it. Louie Mueller's has just that. Flavor packed brisket with an excellent peppery bark.
  
  I've eaten at Louie Muellers twice now, and it would have been 3 times, but I arrived late one day, and the brisket was gone. You can always call your order in, if your traveling in from out of town.
  
  I've tried the sausage, tenderloin and ribs, but ultimately the brisket is what brought me back.

  2nd Visit To Louie Muellers

  I've eaten at Louie Mueller's twice now, and it would have been 3 times, but if you arrive too late in the day, the BBQ will sell out and that happened to me once. They suggest calling ahead and placing your order if traveling in from out of town.
  
  I've tried the sausage, tenderloin and ribs, but ultimately the brisket is what brought me back. Many will tell you the pepper rub that makes the bark is the secret that makes the brisket so special.
  
  I will admit I have not had the chance to eat at Franklins in nearby Austin, but I have tried Blacks BBQ, & Kreuz BBQ in Lockhart, Texas Pride BBQ in Adkins, and several places around the San Antonio and Hill Country area and Louie Mueller's beat them all at least on these last visits.
  
  If your ever in the area call ahead to check the BBQ situation.
