I'm tired of the tease also... Time to go to work and cook some BBQ. Can't wait to see you all there!
Well, dammit, tell us when you're going to open this spot.
@ A minimum, tell us when you HOPE to open this new spot.

Are you going to bring your camera to the grand opening?
Considering my CrackBerry is camera equipped, that's a minimum standard.
Sorry if I missed it, but exactly where on S. First?
Vacant lot a little south of Elizabeth on the west side of S. First. Across from the old Bouldin Creek Coffee.
The lot wasnt vacant today.. I stood on the sidewalk waving as you all drove by
Should've given them the finger.
We-we-we so excited.
Seriously. I celebrated the previous place on Manor road -- was a regular customer, and a pain in the ass about asking for "outside cuts" on my brisket. And again, was a big fan of the days that a big beef short rib was the special. It was the best bbq joint in town. I have high hopes for this incarnation. If I'm not there opening day, will be there soon after.
This sounds like the perfect way to get rid of the hipsters at Franklin. Just start hinting that there is a new BBQ place that no one has ever heard of opening up. Make it seem like eating at Franklin as akin to listening to Coldplay.
Thank you!... I am sure you will really enjoy it the same or more this time around... I just finished my 5 years of anger management/customers service courses.. End pieces wont get you stabbed anymore. Look forward to seeing you!
Being A newbie and a BBQ place no one has ever heard of I will just be trying to carve out my own little niche in the BBQ world....
Q + John Mueller ≠ Newbie
I understand. I was mostly making a joke about hipsters and how easily fooled they are.
I don't know, I think there's something charming about being a food nazi. Since the G/M Steakhouse on the Drag closed down, there just aren't enough good places in Austin to get some righteous customer abuse anymore. Plenty of bad service, but very little downright abuse. I miss it sometimes.
Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to eating at your new place.
I don't remember getting any abuse on Manor, but maybe I just picked days John wasn't there.
Looking forward to your new spot.
I never had a bad experience or was treated poorly at his establishment.
Can we wait a few weeks until we tell the $#@!ing standing in line at 10 am crowd that John is going to be up and running. I never minded standing in line, even outside the door for a bit, at John's old place on Manor, but the damn two hour minimum line at Franklin's is just unbearable.
That's what I'm talking about. I remember waiting outside the door at the Manor road place, sometimes for 10-15 minutes. A long wait from arriving to eating was like 25 minutes. That's doable. Having to get to Franklin before 10:00 so I can get food by 11:45? No thanks. I just can't do that. I can't do it during the work week, and I can't do it on the weekend because my kids won't stand in ANY line that long.I never minded standing in line, even outside the door for a bit, at John's old place on Manor, but the damn two hour minimum line at Franklin's is just unbearable.
I mentioned it somewhere else here on GM or maybe over @ the old joint, but when my daughter was born I managed to get out the next day & go to JM's shop on Manor.
After being served, I realized I had left my wallet & coinage back @ the hospital. John took pity on me & said to come back another day with the $$.
I did get back over about a week later & get square. IMO, that is awesome customer service vs. being gruff.
Thanks... that is what i was taught in Louie Mueller 101 (my Grandapa not the business) never deny a meal no matter what the circumstance
I just want to say posting as shoeless joe is cool enough to make me try out your stuff. Posting in and of itself shows you have balls, and that is good enough. I'll be a patron of your place, at least once.
Both my kids were born at St Davids. I'm pretty sure it was for my boy's birth 8 yrs ago, I had John Meuller's brought up to the hospital. We'd been there a day or so, not much sleep, and lousy grub. My buddy was coming to visit, and asked if we needed anything. I told him hell yeah, bring us some John Meuller's cue. When he got there with a box fulla brisket and ribs, we were some happy campers. Made the hospital stay tolerable.
And today, that boy is a BBQ fiend. Good memory I'd forgotten till I read your story. Really looking forward to having some of John's cue again.
John Mueller delivered my children.
They were delicious.John Mueller delivered my children.
the first time we went to mueller's on manor rd we were still in college- my future wife, myself, her roommate, and her future husband. it was an early sat afternoon, like 1:15 and there weren't many people. john you sat and talked to us for like 20 minutes after our meal was done- i forget what we were talking about, but it left an indelible impression.
Thanks everyone... time is short.. Making a batch of hot sausage and a batch of pork sausage tomorrow. A good way to start breaking in a new pit!!!
what style sausage will you be making? I think I speak for everybody here when I say we prefer a coarse-ground sausage a la Smitty's or City Market.
Truth
I have always made my own.. sorry it will be more in a Louie Mueller style I guess. But yes it is coarse and i still use salted hog casings no synthetics
Will you be open by the 10th of September? If I have to spend a day shopping in San Marcos, my wife will partake in some BBQ deliciousness.
If I'm not open by sept. 10th I will cook you BBQ in my back yard. (not kidding)
9/10 changed everything.
o hai.
please be open by the 10th. we have rels from the uk in town that wkd for a wedding. they absolutely love franklin and are heartbroken they won't be able to go there. i would love to surprise them with a trip to your place.
9/11 took a giant dump
Oh hellz ya. Cannot wait.
The last time we went to Mueller's, it was a late Saturday afternoon and they insisted we take home a half dozen Round Rock donuts as we were leaving "so they wouldn't go to waste". That was a good day.
Can't wait for the new place.
That is awesome of you to offer. I am looking forward to trying out your BBQ after all the good things I've read on here.
Yeah, really looking forward to this place!
Anybody make it out to the barbecue party at Independence Brewery where John Mueller was handing out scratch, Louie Mueller style hot links today?
no, thx for the advance notice.....
That's why they're called $#@!tards.
400 links gone in 40 minutes... I say LMBBQ style as its the way I have always made sausage.. There are differences in the two.. This batch could have used more red pepper but went over really well!
I was there. JMueller was one of our first stops. Sausage was awesome. It was hot as $#@! out there.
Did you tell him you were from the internets?
Thanks!... need to adjust a couple of things but overall I was pretty happy with it!.. I will also have a jalapeno version when I open..Didn't Bring brisket because pit needs a little more burn out time
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Brisketexan again.
