This place is actually at 19 N Main St, Elgin, TX, 78621. Double check their closing hours by calling first, because if you just show up, you may be very disappointed. Several times we have been here and the closing time is up to the kitchen employees it seems. Joseph's has a questionable closing time... see what had happened was... the first time, we arrived at about 8:43 pm on a night they closed at 9 pm. We were told the kitchen was CLOSED!! No dinner from Joseph's. This has happened several times since they moved. They need to update their hours to show the hours you can truly EAT at this RESTAURANT. I wonder if the owner knows this is happening. Customer service should be a priority, but it's not. Do better. I have eaten the food before. Shrimp scampi is pretty good. The filet was alright. I've had the steak medallion appetizer. The braised ribs are hit or miss- they can sometimes taste like they've been sitting in the fridge. They bring you some very hot bread out with cheese on top and a pat of butter. You can drink alcohol at the bar there until they close up for the night. The servers are nice. 3 stars for the food No stars for the hours 3 stars for the drinks 4 stars for the servers No stars for customer prioritization If you're going to be picky about serving times your food/beverage should be top tier!

He was super kind and attentive, even when just taking my order. On a Friday night, it took 20ish minutes for our order to be ready for pick-up! The space where the food truck is located is pretty open, plenty of parking spots. There's currently only one other food truck there and they have a pretty big outdoor seating area, good for big and small groups. I ordered the "Beef Shawarma Rice Bowl" -- contained beef, rice, banana peppers, pickles, cucumbers, onions and was topped with 3 different sauces. The beef was so tender, soft and flavorful and the veggies provided the freshness and acidity that made everything taste so balanced, all on a big bed of rice. There was definitely more rice than meat, but when mixing everything together you don't notice and again, the beef was delicious. To drink I had fresh lemonade with lavender in it, per the owner's suggestion--it's GOOD. Overall a great experience and loved the food and service. I only regret not finding or checking out this truck sooner. I will definitely be back!

Here is their reply; "Tawakkul (تَوَكُّل) is an Arabic Islamic concept that translates to "trust in Allah" or "reliance on Allah". It involves doing everything within your power to achieve a goal (taking actionable steps) and then placing your complete trust in the Divine Plan for the outcome." "...By practicing tawakkul, individuals surrender their worries and fears about the future. It brings inner peace, as a person acknowledges their human limitations and accepts that whatever outcome happens is ultimately part of a greater, Divine wisdom." What an incredible understanding of letting go and letting god/a higher power take care of you and releasing those stresses of your life. Coming here not to get religion, but ordering really good food and believe that you are being taken care of. This man serving you is just thankful to share his generosity. I have enjoyed just showing up and being served his epic dish. When you arrive it's a cute park like setting clean picnic tables and benches while you wait for food. There are a reasonable amount of parking spaces so you don't have to worry where to park. You can stay and eat or takeout. It's really at your discretion. Either way you'll be back.

When I saw it, I was SO excited. It was old, rickety, paint pealing and should've been condemned. I loved it! Exactly what I'd expect for good barbecue. Ordered two sliced brisket plates and a chopped brisket sandwich plate. Got the food to-go and headed to the house. I was SO disappointed with just about everything. MIL thought the sandwich was good, but she didn't get her coleslaw side. Wife's meat was good, but her coleslaw (and mine) wasn't goof. Very vinegary and not creamy at all like I'm used to for coleslaw. My brisket, however was horrible. It was more fat than meat and I couldn't eat it it was so fatty. In addition to the coleslaw, the green beans I got was in desperate need of salt. Really disappointed overall. Maybe it was an off day or something, but just wasn't worth it imo.

No one would answer the phone... I was worried the establishment could be close but to my surprise when I got there, there was 2 employees there. :/ French fries were not crispy from being in the styrofoam to go container hot and was a bit soggy. The burger was well seasoned and was good but it was soggy too. They forgot to give me a drink that comes with the Elgin Cheeseburger combo and I didn't realize the missing drink until I got home which was too late. Overall, I think maybe my experience would have been different if I dined there. The inside of the establishment was super dark and blacked out. The burger was decent and was better than other places that offered burgers in town. I would order a dine in burger from here again and try other items on the menu. Maybe second time is a charm? :)

Rec's Hushpuppie Heaven -- A True Gem…read more Let me tell you right now--this place lives up to the name! I ordered the Catfish Basket (2 pieces) with fries, onion rings, and their famous Mac & Cheese Hushpuppies, and babyyyy... perfection. The hushpuppies were the star of the show--golden brown, crispy on the outside, and then you bite in and boom... creamy macaroni and cheese with brisket inside. Deep-fried to absolute perfection--moist, flavorful, and unforgettable. I dipped mine in the creamy jalapeño sauce, and that combination needs its own award. I'm already plotting my return to try the shrimp and jalapeño bacon version. The catfish? Listen... crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, seasoned just right. Almost as good as mine--almost! The fries and onion rings were fried just right too--hot, fresh, and not greasy or overcooked. And let me not forget the coleslaw--a simple side done right. Cool, fresh, and the perfect balance to all that deep-fried goodness. Don't skip it. The establishment was spotless--and that matters. When you walk into a restaurant, you want to smell good cooking, not something unpleasant lingering in the air. This place was clean, welcoming, and the young men working that day greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. Excellent service from beginning to end. And here's what makes it even better--the owner gives back to the community in a big way. That alone deserves support. Reasonable prices, amazing food, clean space, and heart behind the business. Whether you're local or just passing through--do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back.

Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse is surprisingly large. When you walk in you first notice the Cuetopia mural. What's Cuetopia? BBQ + Utopia = Cuetopica.

If you are vegetarian or anti-shooting dear and other animals, this might be the idea place for you to frequent. While Meyer's sausage is eaten in our household frequently, it was not the draw at the smokehouse. Turkey was the meet of choice along with some potato salad. The turkey was surprisingly moist yet fell apart every time you tried to eat a piece. It was quite tasty but eating it felt like reangling a heard of cats. The potato salad was good but could have used some pickles or relish to spice it up a bit. Overall, the food was good.

We really enjoyed the snappy smoked sausage, creamy corn dressing and chopped brisket chili--a sensationally greasy creation that had me questioning if I've ever had a better restaurant chili! (I have not.) Meyers has somehow managed to create a chili that is packed with flavorful and juicy brisket chunks, with no other veggies or beans added--a phenomenal feat for a dish that is one part chili, and two parts heaven. We also loved the simple addition of having a pickle and sauce bar where customers can pick as many pickled veggies as they like. The counter service was also super speedy and we especially enjoyed the homemade buttermilk pie, a delectable custardy dessert that is now our favorite pie flavor. All in all, one can see why Meyers is a TX institution, with their cozy vibes and delicious eats. 8/10 recommend!
