Reviews for Southside Market & Barbeque in Elgin, TX
Good, but not my favorite. There are lots of options on the menu and plenty of merchandise, sauce and seasonings to buy. I... appreciate the variety of options. They also have a meat counter where you can buy cold sausage and other meats, which is nice.I'll probably come back just for that feature. Brisket was good and the Slammers were tasty as well. Mac and cheese tastedhomemade. Read more
This restaurant is right on Highway 290, has a drive-thru and great meat selections. The service was really friendly. We... ordered their chicken and cheddar jalapeno sausage with potato salad and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was myfavorite and the chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly.

I?ve been passing by this place for the last 5 years and never stopped in for one reason or the other. Finally made it in today... and I am so disappointed in myself for not stopping in sooner!! We ordered the Southside Combo sandwich and plate. I had thesandwich with brisket and sausage and OMG?the meats were both juicy and busting with flavor! Everything was great from the waythe sandwich bun was toasted and dressed or buttered with the juices from the meats. I travel to the Elgin area about once amonth and I guarantee that I will be back to try more and leave another review on sides like potato salad, mac and cheese, etc.Don?t pass this place up!!

A friend told me how great he thought this place was. I drive to Austin from Houston numerous times a year but rarely stop to... eat. My last trip I scheduled my trip just to finally stop for Lunch. It was damned good chopped beef on a bun and tasty sauce(I mix the hot and classic for a nice combo). No fat, chopped fine, flavorful. The sausage slammer, however, is something Iwon't order again. Greasy, gross cheese, not at all a good combination or texture. I'm sure my opinion is in the minority, butas long as they have great bbq... next I hope to try the baked potato. Read more
Fantastic barbecue experience! The sausage was just simmering in its own juice, all the more tender and delectable. The brisket?... Moist and flavorful, with a to die for smoke ring. The potato salad is some of the best I've had at any barbecue place, handsdown. The macaroni was also tasty but not a personal fave - I'll probably try something else on the sides menu next time. Nexttime? Oh there will SO be a next time! Read more
This is some of the best barbecue not only in the state of Texas but that you will ever taste. I do believe they're the oldest... barbecue place in the state of Texas and they definitely have the art down. When you consider the grocery chains have picked uptheir sausage to sell in the grocery store once again that tells you the quality of their products. Anything you get off themenu here is going to be good. They're pinto beans are a favor to mine because I hate ranch style beans and these are not thattype. Their potato salad is creamy and delicious. Brisket of course was smoked and cooked to perfection. Chicken was tender andjuicy. And their sausage again is some of the best I've ever had in my life. Read more
I've been looking for a good BBQ restaurant in Texas and was told Southside is one of the best. Being a cook and food... connoisseur myself, I was looking forward to it. Plate: I ordered the 1 meat (brisket) w/ mac & cheese and beans. My brotherhad the 3 meat plate w/ brisket, chicken, and sausage. Unfortunately, it didn't land where we expected. For the price, theportions were small, the meat was room temp and had no flavor, the BBQ sauce is kept separate in a pump and was cold and watereddown. The mac was cooked well, but lacked flavor and the beans were ok. Dessert: Peach Cobbler was good, however there was nocrust, so it was more like sweet warm peaches with vanilla ice cream. Condiments: There weren't any covers over the condimentsand customer's weren't wearing mask. Enough said! Conclusion: Southside is like the fast food version of BBQ and I will notreturn. The hunt for real authentic Texas BBQ continues. Read more
Great! Lunch today at Southside. Had the two meet plate, with pork, belly and lamb rib. Both can be hard to find, and both were... done perfectly. Beans and coleslaw for the sides, beans barely done but good, and coleslaw was very good. Topped off with ashiner Bock Read more
