Smoke Daddy's Review of Louie Mueller Barbecue
Tour:
Joint:
MAIN FARE:
- "Gimme" piece - Was from the moist end, and it was GREAT!
- Brisket - Not much of a smoke ring today, but nice smoke/meat balance. Firm and lean (maybe too firm today).
- Rib - The black pepper rub is spicy but good. Got a smaller rib today - not much meat, but what is there is tender and good.
- Sausage - The best. Man, that is some good sausage!
- Jalapeno Sausage - "Jal Yeah!" I absolutely love this stuff. You can see and smell the fresh peppers.
- T-Bone - Same peppery rub. Nice piece of meat. Red, lean, and tender with a smoke ring right to the center.
OTHER FARE:
- Chunk-o-cheese. How can you go wrong with a big ole chunk of cheddar cheese?
- Potato Salad - Fresh. A potato salad that stands out from the rest.
ATMOSPHERE:
- This joint has the authentic atmoshpere that others try to copy!
- Brisket and rib were good today, but the T-Bone and sausage(s) were better.

MAIN FARE:
- 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
