It might seem like a small…read morething to some, but coming from Georgia, I've been chasing that true "wow, this is SWEET sweet tea" moment... and this was it. So good! I ordered the 2 meat combo plate. The coleslaw was bomb, Mac and cheese yumm-ooo, and the pork belly is absolutely worth the upgrade. So flavorful and tender. The only downside for me was the brisket. It was a little on the blander/drier side. The BBQ sauce definitely helped, though. I'm willing to give it another try because it could've just been an off day. The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant was clean (based on my previous dine-in visit). This time I went through the drive-thru, and the service was still great. Overall, solid experience and I'll definitely be back for that sweet tea alone!

I was grabbing a late lunch so this location was dead - no music, no tv - dead silence. I went with a two meat plate- turkey and sausage - mixed review. The turkey was fantastic - wonderful flavor- was not dry at all - my golden rule is bbq should stand on its own - no sauce should be needed - And that goes for all meets brisket, turkey, whatever the pitmaster is cooking... It should stand on its own. . The turkey passed the test. The two sauces that Smoky Boes provided on the table was original and spicy. I was disappointed with both... Neither one really was anything special. Tasted like one of the run of the mill barbecue sauces You could buy off the shelf at your local grocery store The sausage was a disappointment. Very much standard fair. It tasted like a sausage link you bought from the grocery store took it out of the wrapper and cut it up. No flavor no temperature. It was overhaul just a piece of meat. Very disappointing. I had two sides, the cream corn, and a potato dish with cheese and bacon The cream corn was very tasty and I enjoyed it. The potato dish was interesting. It was diced red potatoes, with cheese and bacon. It would've been better if they had master or whipped the potatoes. When I finished eating the potatoes and the cheese and bacon, there was a good amount of water sitting in the Styrofoam cup it was served in. The overall taste was OK, but the dish itself was a disappointment. I picked up a package of sliced bread that was in a plastic wrap on the counter. The bread itself was a little stale and not that great. Fresh bread, warm fresh bread would've been a nice compliment to the meal. Overall, Smoky Mo is OK. Average fare, average price.

I try to give places a chance before deciding they are not for me…read more When I first moved to Hutto, I was intrigued by Southside Market and their history. I had known about the historic location in Elgin that claims to be the oldest barbecue spot in Texas. They have updated their processes to keep up with the times and in the last 15 years have begun opening new locations throughout Central Texas, with one in the Co-Op District of Hutto. I have had plenty of barbecue in my time, from chains to Texas Monthly recognized and Michelin star winning locations. I understand that not all barbecue is the same, but I also understand that barbecue served all day like at Southside Market can still be good. I do not think that is truly the case, though. My first experience was when Southside Market catered a holiday party for my work. I thought it was alright, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, saying that it was catered. You do not judge a meal based on it being kept warm in a pan that was probably cooked at 8 am that morning or the night prior. It is not the same game. I went back a few months later for a birthday lunch and got their combo plate with sausage and sliced brisket. My first thought: This tasted like it was catered. The Jalapeño Cheddar sausage was decent but tasted a little too smoky, and the brisket really did nothing for me. The side of potato salad was good, but you cannot mess up potato salad that badly. Their mac and cheese was good, I think. I do not remember it whatsoever. I went back recently after almost nine months with a desire to get a baked potato with chopped brisket for lunch. I got it without sour cream but kept the rest of the toppings of cheddar cheese, chives, and butter. I took it to go, which I rarely do, but it was a busy day. I cannot describe how disappointing the potato was. First, the potato was smaller than I had expected. The saucy chopped brisket tasted like a smoked Sloppy Joe thrown on a spud. It was really too smoky for me to even enjoy it. I felt like I was eating a chimney. It did nothing to raise my spirits and like that, I was forever out on Southside Market. I am probably one in a million because they have steady foot traffic inside on a frequent basis, but I wonder if the name is doing all the work. The staff was great and the space is well done and spacious, but the food actually has to be good to make that a plus factor. I have no idea if the food is any better at their original Elgin location, but I would rather go to Smokey Mo's across the tracks in Hutto because the potato is a good size and the brisket had a good flavor to it. Here, I just was not impressed. I will not ever return unless I am invited with co-workers or something, and even if I am, I will debate the idea of saying yes.

My first encounter with Southside Market came three decades ago, back when its lone outpost sat in…read morea weathered building just outside downtown Elgin. If you wanted authentic Elgin sausage in those days, there was no shortcut--you pointed your vehicle east and made the pilgrimage. The reward was a link of the town's famous "hot guts," a sausage with a snappy casing that gave way to a coarse, peppery filling infused with the unmistakable flavor of slow-smoked meat. It was the kind of sausage that lingered in your memory long after the last bite. Thirty years later, Southside is still turning out the same quality sausage that built its reputation over more than 140 years. While the sausage remains the headliner, the supporting cast is impressive: brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, sandwiches, and an array of classic Texas barbecue sides. On this visit, I opted for the daily special, a boneless New York strip smoked to a perfect medium rare. The smoking process transformed the steak into an exceptionally tender cut, one so yielding that even a plastic knife sliced through it with ease. The lone disappointment was that the steak itself carried only a faint hint of smoke and could have benefited from a more assertive seasoning profile. Still, it was a quality piece of beef, and a drizzle of Southside's distinctive barbecue sauce elevated it considerably, adding a sweet-and-savory punch that brought the flavors into focus. The sides rounded out the meal nicely. The beans were rich and satisfying, while the potato salad delivered the familiar comfort expected alongside Texas barbecue. Southside's legacy may have been built on sausage, but after more than a century in business, it's clear the market has mastered far more than just hot guts.

No sweet BBQ sauce. Only sauce on the table is thin like water and says "Hot Sauce". Chopped (no…read morepulled) pork is spicy, so if you can't tolerate some hot spice you won't like the chopped pork. They do have sliced pork that is just smoked with no sauce at all. Didn't try the brisket, sausage or chicken this trip. Skin-on potato salad was OK, but not as creamy as Rudy's. They also feature an in-store deli meat selection which looked pretty good. For me, the no sweet sauce is a deal breaker so I probably won't be back, but if you like spicy hot you will probably like it. That's the reason fir only 3 stars.

I decided it was finally time to give it another shot, and I'm so glad I did. First of all, the service was phenomenal. The employee who took my order ~I believe his name was Aidan~ did an amazing job. Not only did he take my order quickly and efficiently, but since I was dining in, he also brought my food out to my table, which I really appreciated. Everywhere I go I always order some kind of dirty Mac and cheese, which in this case is the chopped brisket with Mac and Cheese, even though it isn't listed on the menu as a meal. I usually know exactly what I want before I get to the register so I don't waste anyone's time, and Aidan knew exactly how to ring it up. The entire transaction took less than a minute but didn't feel rushed. The atmosphere was very relaxed on a Thursday evening. It wasn't very busy, but after this visit, I can definitely understand why people keep coming back. The food was excellent. The mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy, and the chopped brisket was moist and flavorful. To finish off the meal, I had a slice of apple crumb pie for dessert, and it was a great ending to an already fantastic experience. I'll definitely be coming back again soon perhaps to try the breakfast tacos next time. If this visit is any indication, I have high hopes for them. This has become one of my favorite experiences at a local restaurant, and I'm excited to return.
