    On my way home made a side stop here. Best decision ever!! Phenomenal bar b que! I had to pull over as not to waste this experience of eating the best chopped brisket sandwich ever! Tasted my husband's MAC plate and he's going to be thrilled. I will definitely come back. MAC was so kind and amazing, clean inside and out. Great place for a bike ride or family day trip. You gotta go.

    I made a special trip to McMillan's BBQ after having read about it in Texas Monthly's list of recommended BBQ places. Perhaps it was just an off-day when I visited, but I was quite disappointed in the food. I stopped by around 2pm on a Saturday and ordered the sliced sausage plate with a side of barbecue beans and potato salad. The sliced sausage was cold -- not just room temperature, but cold like it had been taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to sit on a counter for 20 minutes. Being that the sausage was cold it wasn't very moist or flavorful, even when dipped in sauce. My partner's meal suffered from the same cold-meat issue. The potato salad was unlike anything me or my dining partner had encountered before. It was very sweet, as if it was made with miracle whip and sugar. The barbecue beans were, however, hot and very flavorful. In fact, the beans are probably better than beans I've had at most other barbecue establishments. The eclectic interior makes for an interesting dining atmosphere, especially with the walls covered in dollar bills signed previous customers. Service was friendly, although it felt like the lady working the counter was doing double duty as she kept going into the back and disappearing for periods of time. Another young man kept walking out to the counter but he too was busy doing something in the back. Several other patrons came in while we were there and ordered meals, which was surprising given that the restaurant is literally the only thing for miles around. Nothing about this establishment really stood out, aside from the good beans. I might or might not give them a second chance if I happen to be on the road to Goliad, however I wouldn't make a special trip.

    THIS IS THE BEST BBQ YOU WILL EVER HAVE. PERIOD. I first tried McMillan's about 13 years ago, on a family trip to Victoria (Goliad/Fannin). My mother already knew of McMillan's and made sure we got a fill before we left town. I have yet to try any BBQ as delicious, and I have eaten plenty of BBQ in my lifetime. Trust me. I know that inside certain city limits, there are restrictions on how long you can smoke the meats - due to fire hazards. Luckily for McMillan's, they don't have that problem. Tender meat that falls off the bone doesn't need barbeque sauce. I tell people this all the time, but you would have to have had good BBQ to know that. Seasoned, flavorful & plenty are the words I would use to describe the food at McMillan's. I can't wait to go back to visit - I might even stay longer than a day. It really is worth a trip.......

    They have plates to eat your food there but we opted for the to go box to bring back to our RV.   Shown is the ribs and chicken.

    --- During our Winter Texan stop to the Historic Goliad area, we could not resist stopping by this cute looking BBQ place just down the road from the Historic Fannin Battleground site. Had heard about this place from the Lady at the visitor center in Victoria as being a must stop place at which to eat. WOW !!! Louis McMillan has proven to us that he is the master of the low and slow BBQ method of which we have never had the privilege to have been blessed with before in our lives. Tastes SO much better than the average BBQ style around the country. Just can not give enough praise. The smoke flavor has deliciously embedded itself in the meats. My wife Sheila knows that I NEVER give praise where it is not deserved. Nice going Louis... you and your great assistants have put a happy notch in our traveling moments.

    The bbq was good but the owner talked us into getting a family style meal and ended up paying $30 a person for lunch. Wont be back.

    McMillan kept us entertained while we chowed down - a wonderful way to spend lunchtime off a Texas highway.
