SAN ANTONIO – The iconic downtown Bill Miller Bar-B-Q commissary, which stood for decades on West César E. Chávez Boulevard and South Santa Rosa Avenue, has closed as of Friday.
The restaurant posted a sign on its door stating its last day of business at that location would be Sept. 12.

“We are so grateful for your loyal support and patronage over the years,” the sign read.
The sign encouraged customers to visit the Bill Miller location on 1030 East César E. Chávez Boulevard, near the Alamodome.
KSAT reached out to the restaurant chain for comment. They told us that while the restaurant is closed, the commissary will continue to host operations at the location.
When asked why they closed the restaurant, a spokesperson told KSAT, “With the gradual move to our new plant, we have decided to close this restaurant, which served many of our plant employees.”
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing said a new two-story building to house the company’s new headquarters would be completed in September 2025. The location is 5330 State Highway 151.
The $60 million project is 335,000 square feet, according to the TDLR filing.
Bill Miller said this would host their warehouse, offices and a production plant. They are not planning to open a restaurant there at this time.
“We are so grateful for the many loyal customers of this restaurant over the last 44 years,” Bill Miller Bar-B-Q said. “We thank everyone who came by to say farewell!”
