Bill Miller Bar-B-Q is ubiquitous in the San Antonio area, but as of Friday, September 12, it won’t be slinging sausage wraps downtown. The 430 S Santa Rosa Ave. outpost at the company’s headquarters is quietly shuttering as the chain prepares to move to a $60 million campus on the Far West Side.
The closing was first noticed by an eagle-eyed member of the popular San Antonio Restaurants Facebook group. Bill Miller has not made a public statement other than posting a sign thanking customers for their “loyal support.”
Bill Miller opened their headquarters in 1971 with a restaurant that also acted as a commissary kitchen supplying other locations with baked goods and sausages. It was the last downtown location of the chain after it closed its 501 N St Mary’s store during the pandemic.
