"The sausage is one of my favorites, and this link was perfectly spiced. The casing had a great snap and bright green bits of jalapeno could be seen throughout. The thick layer of cracked pepper and the thicker smokering were all working together to create textural combinations not found in mortal brisket. Three of us sat there after many days on the road eating the best barbecue that Central Texas had to offer, and one simple word was repeated by all. Perfect!"

"The pit master tore off a big piece of wax paper, cut off a burnt end of brisket and tossed it on my paper, not saying a word. I ate it and immediately changed my order to include one pound of their incredible brisket, in addition to beef ribs and beef sausage, undoubtedly the best sausage I’ve ever tasted."

"It's hard to say what makes the Muller barbecue better than most. It might be the hint of cayenne on the meats. Louie Muller's Barbecue in Taylor cant be beat."

Matthew Odam

"Louie Mueller Barbecue deserves to be included in the first sentence of any story about Texas barbecue. Wayne Mueller carries on the tradition of his grandfather and father with melt-in-your mouth brisket and a gargantuan beef rib with a gentle interior that belies its prehistoric heft and peppery crust. Bonus points for a loaded baked potato that defines the form."

Texas Monthly

"The brisket, ringed with a finger-width coarse-pepper crust, was the Platonic ideal of the Central Texas meat-market style—the fat was rendered to perfection, and the smoke-infused meat was so tender that even the idea of a fork and knife seemed preposterous. Other meats shine as well. Pork ribs are solid; the all-beef sausage, which is made in-house, has a nice peppery flavor and a great snap. It consistently delivers some of the best barbecue the state has to offer."

"The beef rib is legendary and the pork ribs are very flavorful and perfectly prepared in the post oak smoker."

Chase Christian

"The beef rib here was worth the stop for sure."

Chris Wallace

"As far as central Texas BBQ goes, Louie Mueller is the holy of holies."

James Westfall

"The flavor is so simple yet very peppery (due to the rub being 90% pepper). Louie Mueller's isn't just some great BBQ joint that wins awards (like the James Beard Award) and serves an incredible brisket. Louis Mueller's is the best BBQ I have ever put in my mouth."

"This is the grandpappy of tremendous BBQ in Central Texas.The beef rib is legendary and the pork ribs are very flavorful and perfectly prepared in the post oak smoker. The moist brisket is pretty good and it has a tasty bark encapsulating the equally tasty beef. This place has the perfect combination of mouth watering barbecue and authentic atmosphere."
