At Bill Miller Bar-B-Q in 2026, many individual meals cost about $8 to $16 before tax. Current menu prices run from $1.60 for a Bean & Cheese breakfast taco to $19.70 for a three-meat Rodeo Plate, while BBQ family orders cost $30.55 for the small package and $44.65 for the large. The chain also sells fried chicken, sandwiches, sides, bakery items, tea, breakfast plates, and catering across its Texas restaurants.

Restaurant prices can differ by location and ordering channel. The live ordering prices are location-dependent, so the figures below use Bill Miller’s current published restaurant menu as the main pricing scope.

Article Highlights

• BBQ plates currently run from $8.00 for the Wrangler to $19.70 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 39 minutes, before taxes) for the Rodeo.

Bill Miller Bar-B-Q Menu Prices

The table focuses on representative items rather than every line on the board. Bill Miller’s current published restaurant menu supplies the prices and package descriptions used here. Store, delivery, and temporary promotional pricing can differ.

Category	Item	What it includes	Current price
Breakfast	Bean & Cheese Taco	Single taco	$1.60
Breakfast	Brisket & Egg Taco	Single taco	$3.95
Breakfast	Cowboy Breakfast	Biscuit, gravy, 3 bacon slices	$4.95
Breakfast	Taco Box	12 assorted tacos	$24.00 (about 48 minutes at $30 per hour)
BBQ Plate	Wrangler	1 meat, 2 sides	$8.00
BBQ Plate	Regular	1 meat, 3 sides	$9.45
BBQ Plate	Rancher	2 meats, 3 sides	$14.15
BBQ Plate	Rodeo	3 meats, 3 sides	$19.70
Combo	Crispy Chicken Sandwich	Sandwich, fries, large tea	$7.85
Combo	Poor Boy	Sandwich, fries, large tea	$10.15
Combo	Rancher Plate	Plate and large tea	$16.15
Sandwich	Pulled Pork	Sandwich only	$6.05
Sandwich	Poor Boy	Choice of listed BBQ meats	$6.80
Family	Small BBQ Family Order	1 lb meat, 3 pints of sides, bread	$30.55
Family	Large BBQ Family Order	1.5 lb meat, 3 quarts of sides, 2 loaves	$44.65
Pit Meat	Brisket	Per pound	$20.35
Side	Standard Side	Portion	$2.25
Side	Mac & Cheese	Portion	$2.95
Drink	Large Iced Tea	Sweet or unsweetened	$2.20
Drink	Tea Bucket	Bulk tea	$4.75

A single sandwich can stay near $5 to $7, while combos and BBQ plates move higher because they bundle sides, drinks, or extra meats. Family orders and fried-chicken packs belong in a separate group because they feed several people.

Breakfast Tacos and Morning Meals

Breakfast is a major part of Bill Miller’s menu, not a side note. Current breakfast menu data puts Bean & Cheese at $1.60, Bacon & Egg at $2.30, Sausage & Egg at $3.35, and Brisket & Egg at $3.95. Cheese adds $0.50. The Bill Miller Breakfast costs $7.15, while the Cowboy Breakfast costs $4.95.

The Taco Box is the more useful group number. At $24.00 (about 48 minutes at $30 per hour) for 12 tacos, the box works out to exactly $2.00 per taco. It includes three Bean & Cheese, three Potato & Egg, three Bacon & Egg, then three Carne Guisada, Brisket, or Sausage & Egg tacos. Buying 12 higher-priced tacos one by one could cost much more, so the box is best compared with its fixed assortment rather than any 12 tacos a customer might choose.

A local breakfast taco price check also documented the low single-taco pricing and noted that breakfast hours differ from all-day taco availability. Bill Miller’s current menu marks selected tacos as available all day. Full breakfast service still depends on the restaurant and day.

Two simple tacos can stay under $5 before tax, while a full breakfast plus coffee moves closer to $10. Those are different morning budgets.

BBQ Plates and Pit Meats

The four BBQ plates make the price ladder easy to see. Current BBQ plate pricing puts Wrangler at $8.00 for one meat and two sides, Regular at $9.45 for one meat and three sides, Rancher at $14.15 for two meats and three sides, and Rodeo at $19.70 for three meats and three sides. Current meat choices are brisket, sausage, chicken, pork spareribs, and turkey.

The steps between plates are not uniform. Wrangler to Regular costs $1.45 for the extra side. Regular to Rancher adds a second meat for $4.70, while Rancher to Rodeo adds the third meat for $5.55. The plate structure is more useful than one broad BBQ price range.

Ordering meat from the pit uses different units. Brisket, pork spareribs, and turkey are each $20.35 per pound, a sausage link is $4.85, and a whole BBQ chicken is $14.65. A per-pound meat price should not be compared directly with a plate price because the plate already includes sides and a different serving format.

Readers comparing Texas-style chain barbecue can also check Dickey’s BBQ menu prices. The useful comparison is the full plate or family package, not a brisket price alone, because side counts and serving formats differ.

Family Orders and Group Value

The Small BBQ Family Order costs $30.55 and includes one pound of sliced BBQ beef, one pint each of potato salad, pinto beans, and coleslaw, pickles, onions, and one loaf of French bread. The Large costs $44.65 and raises the meat to 1.5 pounds, the three sides to quarts, and the bread to two loaves. Bill Miller’s family-order nutrition sheet treats the small package as four servings and the large as six.

That produces a useful per-person comparison. The Small works out to about $7.64 per serving. The Large works out to about $7.44 per serving before drinks and tax. Adding one $4.75 tea bucket to the Large produces a worked group subtotal of $49.40, or about $8.23 per person across six servings.

Six Regular Plates cost $56.70 before drinks. The Large Family Order plus the tea bucket is $7.30 lower, about 13% less, while also including shared bread, sides, and tea. It is not a like-for-like meal. Regular Plates give each diner an individual meat choice and three personal side selections, while the family package is a shared bulk order. The calculation shows why group format changes the bill.

A similar package-versus-individual comparison matters at other chains too. Current Mission BBQ menu prices use a different group-order structure, so package contents need to be matched before comparing totals.

Sandwiches, Combos

Sandwiches remain one of the cheaper lunch routes. A Pulled Pork Sandwich is $6.05, a Poor Boy is $6.80, a Crispy Chicken Sandwich is $5.05, and a Chopped Bar-B-Q Sandwich is $2.40 each or $12.25 for six. The Poor Boy Plus costs $8.95 and adds extra meat plus a side.

Combos can be easier to budget because fries and tea are already bundled. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich combo is $7.85, the two-Chopped-Sandwich combo is $8.35, the Poor Boy combo is $10.15, and the Rancher Plate plus large tea is $16.15. The Wild Bill combo, built around a brisket and sausage Poor Boy, is $12.90.

Fried chicken creates another price ladder. Three pieces of the restaurant’s choice cost $6.95, while choosing up to two breasts raises the price to $8.05 and all breasts to $8.60. Ten pieces of the restaurant’s choice cost $23.15, and 15 pieces cost $34.45. Breast-heavy family packs cost more.

Bill Miller also brought back a limited-time cheeseburger combo at $11.50 in May 2026. Because that offer was presented as temporary, it should not be baked into a permanent price table unless the selected store still lists it.

Sides, Bakery, and Tea

Current menu price tracking lists standard sides such as pinto beans, potato salad, hash browns, coleslaw, Spanish rice, and green beans at $2.25 for a portion, $4.45 for a pint, and $6.85 for a quart. Mac & Cheese is higher at $2.95, $5.55, and $9.10. French fries use their own size pricing.

Two standard side portions cost $4.50, only $0.05 more than one pint at $4.45. A quart is $6.85, another $2.40 above the pint. The menu does not publish a volume for the single portion, so those prices should not be converted into a per-ounce comparison.

Bakery pricing ranges from small add-ons to whole pies. A meringue slice is $2.30 and a whole pie is $10.35. Fruit pie is $2.40 per slice or $11.45 whole, while pecan is $2.75 per slice or $13.75 whole. Fudge brownies with pecans cost $1.35 per portion and $7.50 per dozen.

Tea remains one of the lowest-cost drinks on the menu. Small iced tea is $1.25, large is $2.20, and a bucket is $4.75. The bucket belongs in a group-order calculation rather than a one-person drink comparison.

Catering and Large Events

Bill Miller catering uses per-person plate pricing rather than the restaurant family-order format. Current BBQ catering prices are $11.45 per plate for 50 to 149 servings, $10.45 for 150 to 299, $9.85 for 300 to 499, and $9.75 for 500 or more, before tax. The BBQ plate includes a chosen entrée, three sides, condiments, rolls, and iced tea.

Extra meat raises the per-person figure. Current add-ons include two ounces of turkey for $1.40 per plate, three ounces of sausage for $2.00, one-quarter BBQ chicken for $3.00, and four ounces of brisket for $3.30. At 100 guests, a base BBQ plate order is $1,145 before tax. Adding the extra brisket to every plate adds $330, taking that food subtotal to $1,475.

The current catering terms set a 50-guest minimum for standard events and a 150-plate minimum on Saturdays. A Saturday order at the 150-person BBQ tier starts at $1,567.50 before tax, travel, and any service fees. Saturday reservations also require a $100 deposit within 14 days. The page does not describe that deposit as an extra charge, so it should not be added again to the final food bill without the contract saying so.

Catering quotes are valid for 90 days and can carry travel or service charges. That makes a restaurant family order and a staffed catered event poor substitutes for one another even when the food names overlap.

Texas Brand and Buying Fit

Bill Miller began in 1950 with a $500 loan for an egg and poultry business, then moved into fried chicken takeout in 1953. The company’s current company history places the second restaurant in 1965 and says the chain now has 76 restaurants across its Texas markets. The old 1963 date and 77-store figure should not be carried forward.

The central operation still includes a commissary, sausage kitchen, bakery, warehouse, and distribution functions. Hours and breakfast service differ by location.

Makes sense if

• You want a BBQ plate with several sides at a fixed menu price.
• You are feeding four to six people and can share the family-order meats and sides.
• You want low-cost breakfast tacos or a fixed Taco Box assortment.
• You compare catering separately from normal restaurant pickup.

Does not make sense if

• You assume every restaurant has identical hours or breakfast service.
• You compare one pound of pit meat with a plate that already includes sides.
• You treat a temporary promotion as a permanent menu price.
• You add a catering deposit to the bill as a fee without checking the contract.

Verification

• Checked a San Antonio location schedule showing weekday opening at 5:30 a.m. and closing at 9:30 p.m.
• Confirmed an Austin location schedule showing 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours, demonstrating store-level variation.
• Cross-referenced the current nutrition calculator for the active menu system and meal categories.

For another barbecue-chain comparison, Lucille’s menu prices show a different full-service format with higher-priced platters and table-service ordering.
