I made a deliberate exit off of I10 just to check it out. Upon entering you see patrons eating at tables along the wall across from the meat showcase. Down a narrow aisle towards the back you see a line of folks ordering to-go food, but there is no recognizable way to determine how to order out of the meatcase. I finally got a clerk to notice that I wanted something out of the case, ... he gathered my selected items and said, "meet me at the register." I purchased the beef links, hot chubbys, and the homemade weiners. That night, I had it all on the smoker. Everything was delicious. I found the weiners very dense and meaty, but heavy on salt content. I tried marinating them, to tone the salt down a bit, but to no avail. I'll be boiling the next batch to see if that helps. Overall, City Market is a place to visit if you're flying down I10 past Schulenburg, Texas. I'll be back. read more

Visited this small meat market as we were on our Painted Churches Day Trip. It's a small market that has jerky, different packaged sausages & fresh meat. You can view the choices in a glass-lined meat case. I bought Deer sausage seasoned with garlic for $4.50/pk. I asked the clerk about it and it seemed to be a favorite for some. I ended up frying some up today and it was nice, mild, lean, not overly greasy & no gamey flavor. It's a blend of Pork, Venison & spices. I don't think I'd buy it again as I saw MSG in the ingredients list. Too bad I couldn't view it first as it was behind the case. Oh well... read more

We stopped by on the way between Houston and San Antonio for a quick lunch. Chopped beef sandwich had a stale bun, meat had no seasoning or sauce. Potato salad was interesting, but not great. BBQ beans were ranch style straight from the can. Plasticware was loose in a can with no cover or wrapping. Prepared food is not at all recommended, but the meat market looked promising. read more

I went on a Tuesday for lunch, and they only had brisket and sausage available. I got 1 lb of brisket, 1/2 lb of sausage, and theirs sides of potato salad, beans, and cole slaw. The brisket was nothing special. Sausage was simple and good - best part of the whole meal. I could've done without the sides. None of them stood out to me. read more

Driving to see the painted churches and spectacular wildflowers. Stopped in on a Friday for lunch - read reviews. In our group -guys who love good TX BBQ. Although they advertise ribs on their sign and have them on the menu board - only meat available was brisket or sausage - during the week. No signage. Gruff customer care. Brisket just ok. I ordered a sausage wrap (thinking tortilla). Sausage plopped on a piece of white bread. Underwhelmed by the food, friendliness, and service. Disappointed. read more

Excellent Texas cue, fantastic meat market. Come early they run out of barbecue early, so don't wait. Chopped beef sandwich is not to be missed. Family run and it shows in the quality. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent brisket and ribs. Great sides! Take cash as no credit cards. A favorite go to in Hill Country.

My wife and I stopped for lunch and had two sliced beef sandwiches and tea. The process needs some work. We asked how to order and were told to go out to the bbq pit and tell them what you want. The pit master said they only sell by the pound and if we want sandwiches to go back inside. So we ordered and waited a few minutes. There was no one at the register so we waited a few more minutes. Got the sandwiches but no drink cups and had to wait a few more minutes for the cups. Finally for the food: Their brisket is moist and tender but no smoke flavor at all. The sauce is not good either. You have to self serve pickle and onion, napkin, plastic ware, and drinks in a crowded small space and there only 4 tables. I wouldn't go back for the bbq but maybe for the meat market. We didn't buy anything but the meats and sausage looked good and at reasonable prices. read more

On way home from Houston, did a quick search to find good bbq. Have tried City Market in Luling and was amazing. So figured would be Greta's well. Ordered sliced brisket sandwich. Meat was tender, very easy to bite into. Lacked a good smoke flavor. Also needed more flavor overall. Would have benefited from more dry rub prior to smoking, ad that spice. BBQ sauce was ok, nothing special. read more

City Market - Added a bunch of jalapeños to add more flavor. - Meat Shops Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

We stopped late in the day and they were out of chopped beef, so we got sliced. The meat was moist even without sauce and tasty without being overly smokey. The beans were delicious...nicely spiced with heat. And the potato salad was some of the best I've had. Nice folks running the place too. read more

Come in the back door, choose your cuts of meat, quantity BBQ on Saturdays only (I'm told). Come in early as they often sell out of the most popular cuts. Inexpensive, fabulous food - I've only given one other 5 star rating previously. Counter service only, seem mildly suspicious of newcomers. I was there with someone who'd been before, knew what to do and not. read more

Friendly service, even regular customers were helping with our question. Brisket sandwich was awesome. Bread SO fresh I wondered if it came from the bakery that day! Slaw is the kind I like, ( sweeter,, no vinegar) potato salad not my style (I am a simplist so hardly any please me but my own) Sausage was the dryer German smoked style. We dipped in bbq so not bad then. Excellent sweet tea, great prices I thought, 2 sand, sausage, 3 sm sides, 2 teas, 24 Ish. Large outdoor picnic tables. Oh yeah, good looking meat market too! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite for lunch on the way home and we were so pleasantly surprised! We have been in search of great dry rub BBQ for a long time and have only found OK BBQ until we came here. We both had the chopped beef sandwich and agreed that the dry rub adds just the right amount of spice and the smoke taste is great without being too much. The meat market itself really makes this place worth the visit! read more

As a 3rd gen Texan, I am picky about my chopped beef bbq sandwiches,and City Market definitely makes my list of really good sandwiches! It has to have: fresh buns, a good amount of chopped beef, with just enough of the 'edges' mixed in, to keep it moist and add flavor,good sauce,and pickles, to add as I like. Check, check, check,check! City Market's exterior may make you think you have not found the right spot; we almost passed right by. Inside, you will find a store/restaurant atmosphere that was comfortable and relaxing. You order at the counter; we chose a chopped beef sandwich, sausage sandwich,and potato salad and coleslaw sides. Both sides were good; the slaw cold and the potato salad like a German style, very tasty! They have chips,drinks, and tea, as well. We also enjoyed talking with the 3 men who work there,and also just listening to them talking about local happenings. No fancy stuff, no tablecloths, just nice people who know how to make good food, at reasonable prices. We will definitely put this on our list of stops, on our next trip to the Hill Country. When you're done, you can walk across the street to the local bakery for some kolaches or home-made apple strudel. read more

City Market - Pretty much Perfect chopped bbq beef sandwich! - Meat Shops Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

Old school butcher services done right. Less meat displayed means fresher product is of greater concern. Slightly pricey compared to grocery stores but well worth supporting the small business owner's cost to compete with the big guys. Meat cut right and pretty wrapped in old fashioned butcher paper to freeze / store better than the styrofoam and plastic wrap you get at the other places. Much better for the environment and less likely to freezer burn. read more

This is another stop that I make when I pass Schulenburg going down IH-10. This is an old fashion meat market that specializes in sausages and their famous house made wieners. After the first time I had one of their wieners I vowed to never buy the packaged brands in the grocery market again. The wieners are ground and seasoned well with a casing that has the right snap to it when you bite in to the wiener. It taste great especially when you use a quality bun and condiments. I also grab a bbq chopped beef sandwich to go when I visit. I will eat it later in the day when the bun has had time to absorb the juiciness of the chopped beef. You know that bbq is good because there is no bbq sauce used to cover bad cooking. read more

This place has been around since 1971 and the BBQ defiantly speaks for itself.If your ever driving on I10 to Dallas I suggest stopping by for lunch or picking up some frozen sausage or steaks for the weekend. read more

I love the older and smaller bbq joints! This one was great and their prices were better than most other bbq places these days.

Great bbq lunch! We stopped on a local recommendation and though the bbq was terrific.

BBQ is good - only had brisket and sausage available on the day we were there. No coleslaw available - only potato salad and beans. Just could not stomach the potato salad. Threw it away. Beans were warmed over clearly. Brisket had a nice smoke ring and good flavor. Sausage was great. Really more of a meat market than restaurant Unexpected. Unsatisfied. read more

Seems like a hole in the wall place but they seriously have the best best sausage and their brisket bark! Friendly, fast, and reasonably priced, this is a must stop. read more

Super nice people. Below average sausage and chopped beef. I was expecting 4-5 star bbq. I won't stop here again.

I, along with a group of friends found ourselves at this little place in Schulenburg as we were passing through. We were looking for a quick lunch due to being on a tight schedule. We walked in and were greeted by an older man that told us what they had and took our order. He took 4 orders at once not writing anything down. Later this ends as one would expect, wrong food went to the wrong customer. However the condition of this place and how the food was handled will keep me from ever coming back or recommending this location. Noted as we walked in there were two pans of cooked chicken halves sitting on the counter that separates the kitchen area from the dining area. As customers walked by, this cooked meat that was open to the air exposed to all customers walking in. This meat was not being refrigerated or warm with any heating device. This chicken was not covered or protected from the elements. Finally the one thing that turn my stomach was watching the gentleman that took our order and made our sandwiches stop -as he is placing our food in the microwave to warm up-cover his mouth to cough then grab our plates of food and continue working. He never washed his hands or used hand sanitizer to clean himself after coughing in his hand. This was just a bad experience neither I or the group I was with at the time plan to return. read more

I'm pretty particular when it comes to barbecue, seldom buy it, but cook it often. This place gets it right. Brisket is tender, moist and just the right amount of smoke. Chicken, Ribs and Sausage more than held their own. I've sampled more than a few of Texas Monthly's top 50 over the years and City Market is right up there with the best of them. Snow's, Black's and Gatlin's top my list, City Market leads the next group. I look forward to many more Smokey Saturdays in Lexington and Schulenburg! read more

The barbecue is so dang good. The biggest drawback is that they are closed during peak afternoon hours.

Flip! That was uncommonly good food. The sighs from us all as we bit into our chopped beef butties says it all. It was Juicey, verging on orgasmic lunch time break off the i10 on a long road trip. And we were WELCOMED! We did not have to guess how to work the place or how to order. We were greeted with. "Hello y'all (I know - I am getting the Texan lingo) want sandwiches? " And then a list of what was available. Nom Nom Nom . No need to eat at chains if you get a hunger on this stretch of the i10! read more

Nice place. Good country butcher shop that makes their own sausage. I had a couple ribs and a brisket sandwich. Both were very well done with a nice sauce. The potato salad was odd. Poppy seeds (I think) in potato salad??? I'd definitely return...just skip the potato salad. read more

Had an amazingly lean chopped beef sandwich with lots of flavor. And that is saying something because I don't like chopped bbq beef as it is normally fatty. Everything else was sold out. Anyway this place is well worth visiting. read more

We stopped at Schulenburg on our way home from Austin to search of a meat market that my husband's grandparents use to come to wayyy back when. We have no clue if this is the same one, but we don't regret making the trip. City Market sells uncooked or smoked sausages and serves sandwiches. There's seating inside and outside for guests who want to get prepared meals. We ended up buying bulk sausage to take home. The prices are cheaper than what we find in grocery stores in Houston, and there's good variety. read more

BBQ is decent. Brisket was a little dry. Sides are okay. The biggest thing they need to work on is their organization though. Too slow and discombobulated. It's as if the team behind the counter had never worked together before. They need a separate station for to go orders. They need a second cash register. And the line, drinks, condiments and trash can are all bunched up in one corner. They would do themselves a favor if they would bring in someone who has vision to reformat the place. Make it more efficient and bring in more business as a result. People left while we were there because they got frustrated with the wait. read more

Stopped here on the way thru town. The poor boy sandwich for $7 is massive! Sausage and chop were very tasty. Which there were more side options, only reason not 5 stars. read more

Yeah Patty B, you rate the place low because someone told you this was a restaurant when it's clearly NOT a restaurant so you cry and say you're unsatisfied it fmfidnt meet your expectations when your expectations weren't founded right to begin with!!! Sorry you're dead wrong. This is an amazing, really quality) meat market with very good quality meats, bacon, smoked sausage, and yes, home smoke brisket...some of the finest quality beef and smoking around. Amazing pit smoking, beautiful pepper crusts, moist and delicious meat and smoke ring and fat that just melts when it is being sliced out of the pit. Don't be fooled by the mediocre sub par tourist attraction called Oak Ridge smokehouse on the other side of the highway. Turn the other way. Yes, you have to turn off the highway for a minute. It beats every other bbq between San Antonio and Houston. But you have to go on SATURDAY AM when they have the brisket in the pit. It's the only day of the week. And all those places on the highway advertise with big signs and aren't worth a hill of beans. This place you gotta look for it. But you will not be disappointed especially if you can get some great sliced beef on Sat. Remember, this is not a "BBQ joint" It is a meat market, but they do have good sides and you will always see locals stopping by to eat lunch and chat. This place is why I love Texas. read more

I really want to love this place because the meat was good and the people were friendly, but at 12:30pm on a Saturday I expect fresh BBQ. I ordered brisket and sausage and both went straight in the microwave to be heated up. I was so shocked that I almost swallowed my gum. Even though it was microwaved and our portion was cut with the grain, I could still taste that it was well seasoned and well smoked. The microwaved version of that brisket was still better than what I've had at other barbecue places fresh off the smoker. This will be remembered for what could have been. I'm sure that was a really tasty piece of meat when it was fresh. I'm disappointed that I'll never know. read more

Best sausage around in my opinion. Great people and excellent service. Great selection of sausage.
