 MAIN FARE:Crew and spread at Louie Mueller's

  • Jalapeno Sausage – Loaded with jalapenos, fiery hot.    — Double Boner
  • Jalapeno Sausage – Wow! Kind of non-traditional, but extremely lovely and tasty.    — Eric Behrs
  • Jalapeno Sausage – Aroma and flavor of the jalapeno — with the heat!  Wow, this is good, but HOT.  Definitely not for the timid.    — Smoke Daddy
  • Sausage – Another winner, right texture & subtle flavoring    — Double Boner
  • Sausage – Firm, but crumbly.  Very beefy; nice spice and heat on finish.  Good Sausage!    — Smoke Daddy
  • Beef Shoulder – Very tender, nice smoked flavor, charred edges    — Double Boner
  • Beef Shoulder – Firm, but tender – almost melting in your mouth.  Lean but with a bit of trimmed fat around the edges    — Smoke Daddy
  • Ribs – Excellent, moist, good taste    — Eric Behrs
  • Ribs – Peppery rub, but not overbearing (like in Elgin).  Tender and moist.  I got the short end of the rack, and the rib is still great!    — Smoke Daddy
  • Pork Loin – Very nice, tender meat.  Lacks the visual punch that was evident at Black’s.     — Smoke Daddy

OTHER FARE: 

  • Sauce – Unique. Very thin and tangy.  Didn’t need it for much except dippin bread slices.    — Smoke Daddy
  • Cayenne Sauce – Sweet & sour with Paprika.  Good.    — Smoke Daddy
  • Potato Salad – Strong version of mustard-style with relish.  Potatoes are broken into small pieces – YUM!    — Smoke Daddy
  • Pinto Beans – Good, but a little to bland for my taste.    — Smoke Daddy

ATMOSPHERE:

  • Great history to the building and barbecue    — Smoke Daddy
  • If you like smoke, they’ve got it.  Everything is covered in it — especially the cork board of business cards.   — Double Boner
  • Stands the test of time – 103 degrees and no AC    — Smoke Daddy
  • Shiner Bock on tap!   — Double Boner
  • John Mueller (Grandson of Louie, Son of Bobby) gave us hell for bringing in spiral notebooks to jot down our thoughts.   — Double Boner
  • Now this is a BBQ joint!    — Eric Behrs
  • Equal to (Old) Kreuz; with T-Bone could surpass    — Double Boner
