| - If I hadn't read about Mueller's Neighborhood Grill in the Observer about their burger bracket, I don't think I would have ever tried it or found it for that matter. It is tucked out of the way about a 1/4 of a block off of Queens Rd. I wasn't too difficult to find, they have a nice sign, but unless your are looking for it you'll probably drive right by. Mueller's is just an old house converted to a grill. It's tiny and kind of a dive with limited inside seating, but there are 8-10 tables outside. So go on a nice day and enjoy the weather. I got there about 11:30 am on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy yet. It was kind of confusing figuring out what to do. Do I sit and wait or go inside and order. I choose to go inside and order. I then noticed they did have someone serving the table out side, so either way works.
I went there to try the burger, but I got the patty melt instead, which is really just a burger inside a grilled cheese. The place started to fill up as I went outside and waited for my food. They seemed to be a little swamped, probably from the attention from the Observer article. But it didn't take long to get my food and after a little bit they got things back under control. All their sandwiches combos come with 1 side, chips, macaroni salad, tomato & cucumbers, or baked beans. I opted for the baked beans. My patty melt was hot off the grill and I had to wait a bit for it to cool down. That was as definite plus for them. The baked beans were straight from the can so no big surpise there. The patty of my patty melt was a nice sized burger was juicy and had just the right amount of grease. The onions were caramelized and the cheese melted nicely. The bread was gilled GB&D (golden brown & delicious) .
Give Mueller's a try. It's nothing fancy, but the food is reasonably priced and the people there are friendly. Just make sure to map it before you head out.
