Southside Market & Barbeque

Southside Market's history in the barbeque industry dates back to 1882 when original founder William Moon began selling meat in Elgin by the wagonload. At the end of each day, he'd take whatever was left and make smoked sausage and barbeque to avoid spoilage, as in that era there was no refrigeration. Four years later, he opened up a storefront on what was then known as South Street, and the legend began. Bracewell's grandfather, who called on the store as a salesman at the time, decided to buy the business in 1968, and the family has carried on the rich tradition of exceptional sausage and barbeque following the same authentic methods of smoking low and slow over real Texas post oak wood, since 1882. Each Southside Market & Barbeque location serves the same beloved menu of BBQ-by-the-half pound, including the famous Original Beef Sausage, USDA Prime brisket, chopped brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, chicken, pork steaks, ribs, and more.
