J. Mueller's BBQ Austin TX- WOW!

I'm headed to San Antonio next Friday - my brother wanted to run up to Austin and check out Franklyn's. Mueller gives us a good option, as my brother likes to sleep late - I was afraid we'd make the trip for nothing. Thanks for the excellent report!

It's really close. There are some things I like about Franklin's better (they have 4 sauces that are all awesome, Mueller's has one that I like but TFJ does not as much). You can actually eat inside at Franklin, although I have no problem eating BBQ on a picnic table in a parking lot. You can't go wrong either way. Franklin has so much hype right now that if you are not there an hour before they open on a Saturday (they open at 11) you can forget it. Mueller was very busy at 2 pm but they were out of Ribs, beef ribs, short ribs, and a few other things. They had plenty of brisket though which is why we were there. they have great sausage too in the style of Lockhart (it's 100% beef sausage). get there as early as you can but even if they just have brisket, go for it.

I'm 100% there for the brisket. I'm going to have to look for alternatives if they're out, or I'll be eating at Bill Miller's.

Noooooooo! I would go to Rudy's for utility brisket. I can't believe Bill Miller's is still hanging on.You can call him (his number is on the sign pic above) and tell him when you will be there and ask if they will still have brisket. They are good about letting you know on the phoneKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
The crazy part is, i'm like 95% sure there was only salt and pepper on this brisket. Lot's of big chunks of black pepper. Whatever it was, it was awesome. They also keep a big chunk of brisket at the order window and give everyone a piece as they step up to order. They are like crack dealersKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I've heard that Salt Lick is very over rated.

For brisket they are for sure. But for sausage, chicken, and ribs they are awesome. I won't even order their brisket. Plus it's such a cool place that it's hard not to love. It's in the middle of nowhere and it's BYOB. It's $20 all you can eat as well so it's a good time as much as anythingKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Yeah, that's what I'm sayin'. Bill Miller's is a place of last resort for BBQ.
When I was a po' college kid back in the mid 80s, Bill Miller's $0.59 chopped BBQ beef sammich was a staple. Bought it more often with change, because that's what I'd be down to. Long gone are the good ol' days of $300/semester tuition.

Any relationship between JMueller and Mueller's in Taylor? There's several good interviews in the last 3 days from the one in Taylor at the "Eater" web site. Maybe mueller is the magic word to speak over great beef 'Q.

Bill Millers is horrible. horrible.

You can always hit up Harmon's BBQ in Cibilo. They have great brisket!!
We usually hit up Texas Pride in Adkins, but I like their bb ribs better than their brisket.
Also, I've heard Bucket Brigade BBQ is good. It's on my list to try.
Don't step foot into Bill Miller's. I live in San Antonio and I'll be watching. X_XJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

Yeah, John Mueller is Louie Mueller's son. Same family, but John's is WAY better than Louie's if you ask me. Louie's is always top 3 or 4 in the state but I've never understood it. lots of people love it though. I can tell you that Franklin's and J. Mueller's are as good as any I've ever had anywhere.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Texas Pride in SAT is my favorite bbq joint. Def worth the trip.

Cibilo is about 5 miles from where I'll be staying, right off O'Conner road. I'll definitely try Harmon's brisket. Thanks cazzy. PS - Vikings? You a MN transplant? My home office is in Minneapolis.

boy do i miss TX BBQ
I moved away for 6 years and never got over it. it's the whole reason I learned to really BBQ. I couldn't get it anywhere else. Although after today, it's obvious I still have a long way to go with brisket to be anywhere near the kings!Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

One of the things I noticed about the brisket is that the smoke ring, although evident, is not overly pronounced. It was crazy good and smoky but a pretty "pedestrian" (for Stike) smoke ring. Just goes to show that food for show and competition is way different than great food sold for retail consumption. If BBQ judges saw this, they would mark it down for appearance but this would most likely crush any brisket in any competition on taste alone. No injection, wrapping, spraying....just smoke, salt and pepper as far as I can tell.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Looks awesome. I will add Mueller's to the list. (My list is getting longer and longer!) We were planning to try Chisholm Trail in Lockhart this weekend on the way to coast - just to be complete and try all BBQ spots there - but the line was too long when we were heading down and on the way back. So something good must be going on there.-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

Chisholm often has a long line, especially on Sundays.
Salt Lick brisket is way, way over rated.
I'll be driving through Lockhart this Thursday....think I'm gonna keep on going and stop in Luling instead this time. Can't wait to get to the ranch, even if its only one day before hading down to Corpitos (Corpus Christi for the rest of you folks)

Been wanting to try Franklins. No excuse not to since I live in Round Rock, but damn I hate lines. There are lots of good bbq places in Austin I don't have to stand in a long line for to buy.. Will certainly try J Mueller's, thanks for the heads up.

Franklin's is special. I hate lines too which is why I've only been once. I haven't stopped talking about it since though. Well worth itKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
