Louie Mueller Barbecue has been described as a "cathedral of smoke" due to producing the finest BBQ in all of Texas since the restaurant opened its doors in 1949. Founder Louie Mueller handed over the reins to his son Bobby in 1974, who ran the smoker for over three decades before his son (third generation owner/pitmaster) Wayne Mueller took control in 2007. It was also around this time that the Central Texas BBQ restaurant was honored by the James Beard Foundation with an American Classics award, an honor given only to our nation's most beloved and best regional restaurants.

consistently mentioned as a Top 5 BBQ place in Texas by sandydavis on 11/8/2010 via Citysearch
Darn if I don't believe this is the BEST sliced brisket anywhere! Get it from the fatty end and it will not disappoint. This was only my 1st visit, but I still say I have not had better sliced.\r \r The Original sausage, while excellent,…
Not worth the drive but the ribs were good by shaft28 on 2/4/2009 via Citysearch
We took a day out for a long lunch from work one day so I could experience "real Texas BBQ!" Well I didn't like it so much. The sausage was like eating smoke and some other odd flavor and the sauce on the tables looked (and tasted) like…
Not worth the hype! by bige1974 on 7/29/2008 via Citysearch
I went to Mueller's after watching Food Networks Diners Drive INS & Dives. To say I was disappointed is an understatement, the drive is long the parking is terrible since my dining companion is in a wheel chair the parking lot is not very…
best bbq in america. period. by dccabs45 on 6/20/2008 via Citysearch
The guys writing negative reviews are either one of two things. Either they aren't from Texas and don't know what real bbq is. Or they are competing bbq owners and are jealous of Louie Muellers. This place is the best I've ever had, and…
WAS EXPECTING SO MUCH MORE by utsacad03 on 6/23/2007 via Citysearch
AFTER CHECKING OUT THE REVIEWS (TEXAS MONTHLY, CITY SEARCH, WORD OF MOUTH) I DECIDED TO MAKE THE LONG TRIP OUT TO TAYLOR AND PICK ME UP SOME OF THIS WORLD FAMOUS BARBEQUE. I WAS SO READY TO BITE INTO SOME MOIST BRISKET AND TRY SOME OF…
Very Average by jeborleans on 6/8/2007 via Citysearch
On the recommendation of several reviews and the fact that Louie Mueller's is supposed to be one of the top 25 BBQ places in the world, I decided to make the detour off of I-35 and try a little of everything. I was very disappointed.…
Best BBQ in Texas by stinkyfarm on 6/8/2007 via Citysearch
My husband and I just moved back home to Texas after his military career. We just couldn't wait to get home so that we could have some Texas BBQ. We tried those new BBQ chain joints in Austin when we first got back and were not impressed…
Loui8e Mueller Barbecue by texasrick on 8/7/2006 via Citysearch
I don't know what the first reviewer was thinking when he didn't recommend Louie Mueller Barbeque but hey, this is the BEST BARBEQUE IN TEXAS! I moved to New Orleans in the 90's and on the way back to Austin I make a special trip to Louie…
Somethings wrong by barbecuecrazy on 5/21/2006 via Citysearch
Not sure what's going on. Read so many sterling reviews about the barbecue. Highest rated barbecue from Texas Monthly. Ate there this weekend. People behind the counter could not have been nicer. Sausage link good, nice flavor and…
Gotta get the sampler piece by taylorducks on 9/15/2003 via Citysearch
Don't let the smokey ceilings and tar covered windows scared you, Louie Mueller's is probably the best restaurant in Taylor...period. The food is good, but the best part of the experience is the Taylor hosipitality. Every customer gets a…

This is Texas BBQ at it's finest! When you have eaten this meat, you learn what BBQ is really all about!
Meat lovers Delight by jcan2golf on 1/9/2003 via Citysearch
I have tasted B_BQue at eight of the top 10 places listed on your top 10 and only one other compares to the wonderful tasty B-Bque that can only be found at Louie Mueller's, come and taste for yourself, you'll come back for…
Worth the Drive by Elaine_Cain on 12/5/2002 via Citysearch
Best ribs around. You are given a little sample of brisket while in line deciding what to order. Served on butcher paper with a great bar-b-que sauce.
A Texas Tradition. by odisf on 11/10/2002 via Citysearch
For the greatest tast In real slow cooked on the range Bar-B-Q, You can`t beat louie`s, I teethed on Louie`s mutton and rib bones, I now live in Yogoslavia, But When I land in Austin I head straight to Taylor and Louie Muellers.
LONG LIVE LOUIES by rakl on 9/5/2002 via Citysearch
This is the best BBQ in the nation as far as I am concerned. How can anyone in their right mind put Louie Muellers behind Pok-e-Joe's and Rudy's (unless they were given free meal coupons or something for the promotion)? Louie's is the…
Old Time Atmosphere by kwidner on 8/8/2002 via Citysearch
On an average day, the brisket at Louie Muellers is tender and juicy. All the fixings are available from the counter. Seat yourself, but you might want to sit by big sliding door in the summer time. They don't have AC and the pits are…
Real BBQ by amysuehere on 8/7/2002 via Citysearch
Yes, County Line is consistant. Yes, Stubbs has live music and fairly good food. But for the real bbq experience, you cant beat Luie's. First off, it's on the main street of a little town, second the white-washed building, third, THE…
