    We sat at the high chairs enjoying our ice cream and shakes.
    Brandi M.

    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.

    Awesome spot for a delicious treat! Love all of the paper lanterns and sprinkles painted on the walls! The staff was super friendly and service was fast! We will definitely be back :)

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

    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!

    2 out of 5. Living…read morein Austin, it's hard to get out of the city, but driving out to Elgin for a day for this place was not worth the drive, and the dry brisket was something I was hoping we wouldn't experience. ---- Pros: - Plenty of parking - Plenty of menu items that you need/want - Spacious inside - Standard pricing against competition Side Notes: - Open daily from 10 - 8 PM - No reservations; first-come/first-served - Take out/delivery What We Got: - Brisket - Pork garlic sausge - Smoked St. Louis Pork Ribs - Cream corn - Potato salad - Banana pudding ---- Design/Space: It's spacious, restrooms were a bit dirty (came on a Saturday, around 5 PM), and it wasn't busy at all. The way into the space wasn't confusing at all on how to order, so it's designed well, except the extra pickles and sauces are closer to the exit area, versus right after you pick up your food. A suggestion would be to move it closer to when you get your food, but it still works. Services/Staff: Could be better in terms of customer service. Felt like maybe they had a bad day, but weren't cheerful at all, and when I compare it to Terry Blacks or Franklin's BBQ in Austin, you can sense a love for what they do. Food/Drinks: The only thing that we thought was a 3 out of 5 was the banana pudding. Everything else (except sausage) was a 1 out of 5. Here's why: the brisket was extremely dry. It was hardly edible, even after drenching it in the sauce. The ribs were also dry and just felt like they were sitting out for a long time. The sausage was a 2 out of 5, as it was too greasy and lacked that fresh flavor. Potato salad was average, and nothing that made me fall in love with it. Cream corn tasted like the corn was not fresh. I read the previous reviews, but I wanted to go and find out how it was personally. It's disappointing because I love Meyer's sausage when I would buy it from HEB, cook it at home, and thought the experience would be the same or better at a full restaurant. The brisket is seriously disappointing; it was extremely dry. Opportunities to Improve: A couple of suggestions. One, ensure that the staff loves what they do. We just didn't feel the love, comparing it to others that we love going to. Secondly, focus on the quality of the food. The standards are something I've grown to love at Meyers, but it was disappointing. ---- Summary: I hope they can address the issues, and if I see reviews pick up, we will definitely stop by and give it a second chance. However, with choices as a consumer, we might not stop by until things improve.
