A wonderful shop in Elgin's downtown that serves Amy's ice cream and shakes. Off-The-Rails also offer mini stacks and crafted soda. We brought our family from out of state and they really enjoyed it. There were so many flavors to choose from and they weren't all your typical standard flavors. They also change them out ever so often so you are able to try something different on the next visit.

Off the Rails is a date night must! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, they took time to explain the menu. We decided on the "Robert Brownie Jr" and the Mini Dutch Stack with Nutella and strawberries, mouth watering just thinking about it. They sell little trinkets and toys for littles, the little Dino bath bomb was a huge hit. I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone in the area. Definitely will be going back.

We love having delicious Amy's Ice Cream in Elgin! The space is spotless and the service is always great.

Cute little cream spot in downtown Elgin that's reasonably priced. It was 10$ for two small ice creams with one topping each.

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.

I've been hearing about Meyer's for many years now but haven't had the chance to go. Today was the…read moreday! Went to grab takeout with the family to eat at home nearby. I got the 2 meat combo plate with chicken and garlic pork sausage. I also got the creamed corn and potato salad on the side. Everything was good. The sausage and corn were great. In hindsight I wish I had ordered chicken breast - it's a just me thing, but brown chicken meat is tasting and smelling a lot like turkey to me lately which isn't great because of a bad turkey experience. (Again just me!!) I also would have ordered double creamed corn! It was delish! I also feel like I need raw onions and pickles forever with BBQ now. New obsession. All in all, great experience, and also - great price!

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.
