Beef Brisket
Whole packer briskets smoked overnight over live oak. Sliced or chopped.
The full Bill Miller BBQ plates menu with 2026 prices - four plate sizes from the $8.00 Wrangler to the $19.70 Rodeo, five pit-smoked meats (brisket, sausage, chicken, pork spareribs, turkey) and six classic sides. Every meat is smoked in-house over real Texas Hill Country live oak hardwood.
The Bill Miller BBQ plates menu is the heart of the board. Four plate sizes accommodate every appetite from lunch-break snacker to three-meat enthusiast: Wrangler ($8.00, 1 meat + 2 sides), Regular ($9.45, 1 meat + 3 sides), Rancher ($14.15, 2 meats + 3 sides) and Rodeo ($19.70, 3 meats + 3 sides).
Meat choices are beef brisket, pit-smoked sausage links, BBQ chicken (whole/half/quarter, or all-white for +$0.70), meaty pork spareribs, and smoked turkey breast. You can also order every meat by the pound for catering or takeout - brisket, ribs and turkey are each $20.35/lb; sausage links are $4.85 each; whole BBQ chicken is $14.65.
Sides on any plate: pinto beans, potato salad, coleslaw, Spanish rice, green beans, hash browns and mac & cheese. French fries also available as a paid substitute. Want the full sides menu -
Four Bill Miller plate sizes, sorted by meat count, sides, price, and - importantly - the per-meat cost. Use this to decide which plate matches your appetite and budget before you get to the counter.
| Plate | Meats | Sides | Price | $ / Meat | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wrangler | 1 | 2 | $8.00 | $8.00 | Quick lunch under $10 |
| Regular | 1 | 3 | $9.45 | $9.45 | The default - most-ordered |
| Rancher | 2 | 3 | $14.15 | $7.08 | Brisket + sausage classic |
| Rodeo | 3 | 3 | $19.70 | $6.57 | Try all three - best $/meat |
Insight: Per-meat cost drops with each upgrade. Going Regular → Rancher (+$4.70) adds a whole second meat. Going Rancher → Rodeo (+$5.55) adds another. If you're deciding between Regular and Rancher, the Rancher's second meat is functionally free ($4.70 for a meat that would cost $7+ a la carte on a Poor Boy).
Every Bill Miller BBQ plate lets you choose from these five pit-smoked meats. All are smoked in-house over real hardwood - no gas, no shortcuts, no frozen-then-thawed anything.

| Your Meat | Side 1 | Side 2 | Side 3 | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brisket (sliced) | Pinto Beans | Coleslaw | Potato Salad | Classic Texas trifecta - acid + starch + earthy |
| Brisket (chopped) | Mac & Cheese | Pinto Beans | Hash Browns | Creamy + savory - chopped brisket loves richness |
| Sausage | Spanish Rice | Pinto Beans | Coleslaw | Tex-Mex lean - works with peppery sausage |
| BBQ Chicken | Green Beans | Mac & Cheese | Coleslaw | Balanced plate - not too heavy |
| Pork Spareribs | Coleslaw | Pinto Beans | Hash Browns | Acid cuts fat, beans anchor, browns add chew |
| Turkey | Green Beans | Potato Salad | Coleslaw | Lightest trio - lets the smoke show |
Ordering brisket, ribs or turkey by the pound for catering, a picnic, or dinner at home - Here's the rule of thumb we use.
Get the Regular Plate ($9.45) with brisket, three sides (pinto beans + coleslaw + potato salad), and ask for extra pickles and onions from the condiment bar. That's the most "this is what this place does" order on the entire menu.
If you're upgrading to the Rancher ($14.15), 90% of regulars pick brisket + sausage. Ribs + brisket is the second-most-popular pairing. Pick the Rodeo ($19.70) if you want all three.
The all-white BBQ chicken upgrade is $0.70 extra. If you're a breast-only eater, pay it. If you're a dark-meat-or-nothing eater, save the $0.70.
Brisket by the pound ($20.35/lb) + a loaf of French bread ($4.80) + a pint of pinto beans ($4.45) + a pint of coleslaw ($4.45) = brisket dinner for 2–3 at home for about $34.
Skip BBQ plates entirely and order a Large Family Order ($44.65). 1½ lbs BBQ mix, quart sides, 2 loaves of bread, pickles, onions. Feeds 6–8 people. Add a tea bucket for $4.75 and you're done.
