We had to take an Uber from San Antonio and were told to leave early or you may not get an Uber back. Definitely dress casual and bring your dancing boots. The music was great, very fun. Drinks and food served. The people were friendly to these outta towners.

I met a friend at this restaurant on a night when there were few people in the restaurant. We had a cold beer (reasonably good selection), and I decided to try a half-rack of baby back ribs with a side called vegetable medley. That was a big mistake. The baby back ribs were listed on the menu under "Smoked Meats", and that was an accurate classification. The ribs were too smoky, and I mean way to smoky. I have been eating smoked meats in Texas for 60+ years, and I have never tasted meat this smoky. The outside of the meat was overcooked and very dry and chewy, about like jerky, and the meat close to the ribs was very dry. Ribs are supposed be juicy, but endless smoking of these ribs without putting sop (mop) on the meat desiccated them and killed the tenderness that characterizes baby back ribs. A great BBQ sauce would have made chewing the dry meat more palatable, but their sauce was sickly sweet with no hint of vinegar. It was BBQ sauce for people with a sweet tooth. I ate one rib and let the server dispose of the remaining 4-5 ribs. The word medley means a "a varied mixture", but my vegetable medley consisted of slightly overcooked yellow and zucchini squash. I ate because it was my only dinner. In all fairness, it is certainly possible that many other entrees at this restaurant may be tasty and a good value. I guess that I just made a poor choice of food to order, but that is a moot point because I will never revisit this restaurant.

I visit Bill Miller BBQ at least once a week. I usually get the bacon and egg on corn tortillas. The ribs are really tender and fall off the bone tender.
