In-laws live in Taylor and I tried Taylor Cafe at their request. It was terrible. Old man river is a sight to see at the door sitting on his ass, but his bbq is trash. I've heard Davis Grocery & BBQ in Taylor is decent but haven't tried it yet.JR_83 said:
After a blah time at Taylor Caf, went to Louie Muellers last Saturday. Absolute brisket heaven. I noticed that they've backed off the black pepper rub quite a bit on the spare ribs, opting for a sweeter, paprika rub on it. As always, they knock it out of the park.
I've eaten at Louie Mueller dozens of times and to me they're hit or miss. I've absolutely loved it at times, and other times I've left pissed that I just bought $20/lb. brisket and overcooked/overpriced pork ribs that weren't trimmed properly. If you want great BBQ and you're in Taylor often, venture about 30 miles SE to Snows in Lexington. You won't be disappointed. Their brisket is as close to Franklin's I've had.
