context_page_description: Louie Mueller Barbecue is a barbecue restaurant in Taylor, Texas. Called "the epitome of Texas barbecue" by The New York Times, the restaurant focuses on beef brisket, beef ribs, hand made beef sausages, pork ribs, and other smoked meats. Louie Mueller has been in operation since 1946 and became its own entity in 1949. Its current location, inhabited since 1959, was formerly a gymnasium in downtown Taylor. The establishment is named for its original owner, and uses native post oak wood as fuel in its pits.
