Bill Miller By The Numbers
What Makes The Bill Miller Bar-B-Q Menu Different
Seven decades of Texas smokehouse cooking, pit-smoked brisket over real hardwood, hand-rolled breakfast tacos made in-house — here's the short list of what sets the Bill Miller menu apart from every other chain BBQ in Texas.
Real Hardwood-Smoked BBQ
Brisket, sausage, ribs and turkey smoked low-and-slow over live oak fires in brick pits. No gas assists, no liquid smoke, no shortcuts.
All-Day Breakfast Tacos
The full breakfast taco menu — bean & cheese, brisket, carne guisada and 12 others — is available from open to close every day.
Family-Sized Value
15-piece fried chicken under $35. 12 tacos for $24. Large BBQ family order under $45. Feeding a crowd doesn't cost a fortune.
In-House Bakery
Pies, fudge brownies, French bread, biscuits and tortillas — all baked same-day in our own bakery, not shipped frozen.
Sweet Tea By The Gallon
The Bill Miller iced tea bucket — a full gallon of fresh-brewed tea for $4.75 — is still the best drink value in Texas.
Texas Family-Owned
Three generations of the Miller family, 76 locations across San Antonio, Austin and Corpus Christi. We're still local.
