I asked the man at the front if this is family owned and he said that he ran this place with his wife.. it's just them! When I drove up I saw two cars waiting.. it does take a little time to get your food.. please known it is because it is just them fixing everything one by one. You can tell when you receive your goodies that they really put a lot of effort into everything they give you. And you can definitely tell! I ordered the dorilocos and the Jumex preparada. Holy Chamoy!!! AMAZING! Dorilocos has cabbage, cucumber, chile, tamarindo, Jamaica, and of course the doritos! (I'm missing something) I didn't want it to end..Delicioso! The Jumex had strawberries, apples, jamaica, mango, cantaloupe with Chamoy and tamarindo.. your choice of Jumex. The owner even gave me a taste of the strawberries and cream desert they had! It was also AMAZING! Please don't forget about these hidden gems as you're passing through. Many times they are the best! Spread the word!

I personally cannot drink caffeine but my wife is a coffee fiend so we end up here a LOT. They have decaf espresso which I really appreciate because all the lattes are so delicious and I don't wanna be left out of drinking them! The sandwiches and pastry's that they offer are also very good and I haven't been disappointed in anything I've ordered. The service is great! Quick and friendly which is perfect for a coffee shop like this! I love the ambiance and all the chemistry related decor. The selection of entertainment in the form of book and board games is great. The vibe in here is very comfy cozy and comfortable to stay a while. I've been to a couple of the events they hold here as well and have had a great time. Overall I think Chemn is absolutely a gem in Elgin and I feel very lucky to have them!

Wonderful BBQ!! We had the plate, which includes three meats of your choice. I got the pork ribs,…read morebrisket, and cheddar-jalapeño sausage, and all three were packed with flavor and incredibly juicy. The pork ribs had an amazing smoky flavor and a great crust -- absolutely delicious! For my two sides, I chose the green beans with fresh garlic and the mac and cheese, which had the most wonderful crunchy topping. The BBQ sauces were delicious, and the sweet tea was true Texas tea -- definitely approved! I also loved the little details. Every table was stocked with paper towel rolls and their house-made BBQ vinegar hot sauce, which was such a nice touch. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, too. Overall, Southside Market & BBQ is a fantastic place to stop, especially if you're traveling through the area. And a huge bonus -- THEY OPEN AT 9 AM! That's some Texas BBQ dedication right there. 10/10 -- great food, great service, and a true Texas BBQ experience!

We made a trip to eat at Southside Market to try the Beef sausage. I saw a story on TV about their…read morefamous "The Original Elgin Hot Guts". It is worth the stop. The sausage was very good and flavorful. I have tried plenty of sausages in my time and Southside is very good. If you are in the Austin area you need to stop by and see for yourself. The place has plenty of seating and even a drive thru. We ¾ pounds which is plenty for 2 people. For the sides we shared the green beans and potato salad. The sides are very good and a must try. They have a vinegar sauce on the table you can use on the meat. I liked it and gave the sausage a thang. The price is comparable to other BBQ joints. Plus you can buy the sausage in some groceries stores. I need to try and see if it taste the same.

Inside you'll find high ceilings, simple dining space and a log cabin feel. In other words, it's nothing really special inside, but they do have 15 taps of craft beer. Their primary focus is on pizza, but they do have salads, sandwiches, and wings. We decided on their large 14 inch pizza which is perfect for two. The pizza and our two beers were reasonably priced and yes, the tip screen will be waiting. This is not the best pizza on the planet, but it is worthy of four stars since it is very good. The dining In experience is less than memorable, so you may wish to get it to go. Informative photos included.

Standard BBQ spot with tasty meats and delectable sides, I would recommend Meyers to anyone…read morevisiting Elgin or driving through on their way to Austin. 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!

Disappointing BBQ Experience…read more We stopped at Meyer's BBQ after a fun morning of picking blackberries down the road and were really looking forward to lunch. Unfortunately, this was our first visit, and will also be our last. My mom ordered the chicken, my sister had the chili, and I went all in with the brisket, ribs, creamed corn, coleslaw, and buttermilk pie. The brisket was, without question, the driest brisket I've ever had. It was so dry that I had to take a drink after nearly every bite just to get it down. The ribs weren't much better, equally dry and lacking seasoning. The creamed corn had a strange texture and flavor that neither of us enjoyed, and the coleslaw was just average. In the end, all of my meal, plus half of my mom's chicken, went home for the dogs. The one bright spot was the buttermilk pie. It was surprisingly good and had just the right amount of sweetness. To be fair, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. They deserve five stars for hospitality and cleanliness. Unfortunately, the food itself was closer to one star, and when you're visiting a BBQ restaurant, the food matters most. What made this even more disappointing was that we passed by the day before and saw what looked like the entire Elgin police department parked there. We figured it must be fantastic. Sadly, that wasn't our experience. I wouldn't eat here again, and I wouldn't recommend it based on the food we received. Such a disappointment.
