About the Business

Specialties

Texas Certified Authentic 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.

History

Established in 1949.

Three generations of Mueller men have been serving the finest authentic Texas barbecue since 1949. Since our founding, we've become nationally renown as the jewel of authentic Texas barbecue. Recently awarded "Best Barbecue in Texas", Louie Mueller Barbecue is the barbecue aficionado's quintessential experience. With over 67 years of success, we look forward to sharing the Louie Mueller Barbecue tradition with you!
