Milt’s BBQ:

I am working from home today, so Beth and I decided to go to lunch together in Kyle. We were planning to go to an old stand by, but they were closed. Sitting in the parking lot wondering where to go, we remembered an article in our community newsletter talking about a new BBQ place. We decided to try it out.

There was only one car out front, but it was already after 1pm, so we did not take that as a bad sign. The seating reminds me of the porch at the Saltlick. We sat in the covered porch under one of the fans. Even with the heat today, it was very comfortable. They have a signature wall that is filling up fast. Look for "Dax Loves Beth" that I had to get on there while I could. They also have a sign requesting old license plates for them to display. It’s a great atmosphere for eating slow cooked BBQ.

The menu features a great selection at reasonable prices. My wife and I each ordered a bird’s nest. That’s a sandwich with sliced brisket and sausage. I also ordered a side of ranch beans. They have chopped brisket mixed in. It was all wonderful.

There were other great menu items as well. The family meal comes with a pound of brisket, 2 chicken quarters or 2 sausage links and 2 medium sides for less than $20. I am getting the Haystack during my next visit. That’s BBQ Frito Pie.

Next time you are in the mood for great BBQ, you owe it to your taste buds to give Milt’s a try. They are located at 905 N Hwy 81, Kyle, TX 78640. You can call in your order at 512-268-4734.
