I understand that Bill Miller's is not top BBQ compared to other places, but please someone tell me why they are deserving of being called "bad."

I go to them whenever I get the chance. Yes, they may not be the type BBQ that requires a full roll of paper towels and a shower after the meal, but I haven't tried one item on the menu that makes me wish I had eaten something different.

I can tell you why..........BBQ should be cooked on a BBQ grill .....not in a warehouse.

Seriously.....Bill Millers is OK.....the brisket is good, the chicken (fried/smoked in a warehouse is good).....the sausage tastes like PURE ASS!!! Its not even all the way done most of the time......its rubbery and is full of gristle.

So....to sum it up.

Bill Millers is OK cheap ass want to be BBQ.


City Market in Luling and Harmons in Cibolo are my absolute favorites...............real BBQ cooked on a BBQ pit. You can actually see the meat being cooked.

Amen.

People are always knocking BM, but I've never not had a good meal there. Granted, it's NOT true BBQ in the sense that's it's smoked for 15 hours over mesquite in a smoker out back, but it's still good.

And rack the BM's that serve breakfast
