The place is charred with years of accumulating smoke. The thickly crusted brisket easily passes the "doesn’t-need-sauce test” with flying colors! Closes when they run out of food, so get there early!

The short rib — near-molten meat contained by a crust of black pepper and still attached to an imposing bone — still sets the standard for Lone Star barbecue every single day. Read more

A religious bbq experience: the brisket and pulled pork with coleslaw were legendary.

Probably the best sausage I’ve every had. Great brisket , too.

The brisket is exceptional - crunchy bark, deep ring, succulent meat - and the dry sausage in a league of its own. Also, you must try the dipping sauce .

It don't get any better. Feel free to go south of Austin but I'm telling you Mueller's the best, hands down. Come for the brisket (order moist) but don't overlook the sausage . Along with some buddies

The best I've had so far. A perfect bark of pepper encrusts the meat. Not too salty. The beef ribs and brisket are unparalleled. Beef sausages were excellent. Even the peach cobbler was spot on.

The brisket is absolutely the best. Go early because when they run out of brisket , they close for the day.

The jalapeno sausage was great. The beans are really flavorful. The brisket was ok but seemed very lean and we ordered moist.

Everything here is AMAZING! 2nd best BBQ in the state . If you haven't been here, get here.

Everything is great. Have never had a bad meal there.

Most enormous beef rib I have ever seen. Those and the pork ribs are the best things here.

Brisket , potato salad , and cole slaw . Even at the end of the day.

Amazing turkey and beans. Fantastic brisket . Always get moist.
