When you want just a good Texas BBQ, this place seemed to hit the mark. Price was very reasonable. 3 persons and 1 beer for lunch $54. Service was very prompt but the place filled up behind us, so I'm sure it slowed a bit. Good food in a great atmosphere. Smells like it tastes. . . Good! CritDicks read more

Went through the drive through and a half pound is 17.. that's almost terry blacks price and they can't even cut meat in a line. The Togo lady was like 50 and constantly asked for the order then would ask to hold on. Asked her for bbq sauce 2 times, she got annoyed. It came with no bbq sauce and no actual cuts of meat for 60$ for 2 people essentially? read more

Been here twice, both times through drive thru. Both times there was no BBQ sauce in my order. Meat is good but it's just not worth the price when it's so dry without sauce. read more

Richard the manager was manning the cutting board. He was very accommodating and made sure everyone got exactly what they wanted. The brisket, sausage, and ribs were on point. The brisket baked potato was huge. Very generous sides. I recommend the potato salad and the cole slaw with a touch of jalapeno. read more

Consistently good BBQ served up by nice people. Clean. Always an abundance of fresh fixens. Prices are in line with any BBQ joint these days. Brisket, ribs, turkey are all good. Sausage is great. I think Southside may have the best chicken in the Hill Country. Not a great variety of sides but they're okay. read more

This restaurant has a drive-thru, very helpful service when ordering. And willing to answer any questions. We decided on a couple 2 meat plates with choice of two sides. It was a Saturday before Mother's Day but there was no line in the drive thru and the food came out hot and fresh but not dry! Great smoky flavor. Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Southside Market & BBQ is a traditional Texas barbecue place where you can either order prepared food or take home to cook. The menu selections are plenty and will find something to your liking. I ordered the Turkey plate and with Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad. It was a large portion of food so prepare to take the rest home. I also tasted pork ribs off my wife's plate and they were delicious. I enjoyed the turkey where it had great flavor and soft enough to cut with a fork. The Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad had great flavor. The sweet tea was good too. They were fully staffed from the meat cutters to the cleaning crew. The place was very clean and the staff was very friendly. read more

Had the smokehouse combo with beans and potato salad, turkey sandwich. All great. Best smoked turkey we've ever had. Everything was very good. We love that you can also buy ready made smoked meats and sausage to freeze. They also have cobbler and blue bell. Enjoyed the old school country. Very clean and spacious place. All staff were friendly. We will be back. read more

Two meat plate is usually the way to go. Food is always fresh. Only side I like is side salad lol Other sides don't have the seasoning I like but that's my opinion. Place was being cleaned as customers would leave. Lots of natural light with the windows. Always hit up Southside every time I come to Austin. read more

Good honest food at a fair price. Consistently good, not as pricey as other restaurants. Little to no wait, always quiet & super clean, plenty of room, no tipping expected. Self-serve pickles, jalapeños, onion. Sausage jalapeño cheese bombs and pork steaks are filling. They never have lamb ribs when I'm there, but I hope to try that one day. Service has always been patient and polite. read more

Baby Back ribs super tender and very meaty!! Pulled pork very tasty and moist. Need a better BBQ sauce to compliment the delicious meat. The stuffed sausage was tender moist and delicious too! read more

The best thing on the menu is their fatty brisket; so good, so juicy and flavorful! Mac and cheese is lacking, my 5 year old had to ask for salt to shake on it because she said it didn't have any taste :/ Husband said his ribs were dry, both baby back and spare. They were out of lamb ribs so we ended up getting baby back ribs. The family meals are a pretty great deal for the amount of food you get. Husband loved the beans! Service was a tiny bit slow, even with more than 5 employees behind one counter and another employee behind the meat counter for desserts and to weigh steaks... Spent almost $200 here yesterday but would say it was all worth it read more

I live in Bastrop and have eaten there several times. little pricey. We ordered a large amount of lean brisket through the drive through along with other items. When we got home we couldn't belive what they gave us. The brisket was 80% fat, the most fat I have ever seen on brisket. STAY AWAY from the drive through they really screw you there!! read more

Nice place. Good enough food. Not nice Carvers. Ever. They're always super snotty and angry about special requests like, "end cut." I get a kick out of it when I ask for my brisket end cut and the carver tries to convince me turning around their cut piece of meat qualifies as the end cut. Then they always moan about having to cut into a fresh brisket. I don't get the big deal. Why is asking for the end cut always a debate, met with an eye roll (by the carver), and bad vibes? read more

Sooo yummy! Been here twice now! Both times amazing brisket ! The sides are not the star - the cheese jalapeño filled bacon wrap thing is something you must try! The brisket is wonderful- the employees were kind both times. The place was generally clean and well kept. read more

More great barbecue at Southside, but this time I tried the Turkey and it was delicious! Still all the great side dishes, still impeccably clean restaurant and restrooms, and the waitstaff were friendly and courteous!. Ideal at any time of the day, and plenteous seating so that a large group can be easily seated with no hassle at all. I will continue to count upon Southside to always be consistent and always be a great dining experience~ read more

Got pork baby back ribs, they were good, sausage slammer was great! Loved getting smaller baked potato as a side (1.50 upcharge). Beans cooked well, soft but bland. Had a bite of hubbys cole slaw, it was very good. Banana pudding good. They put cookies on fresh so they are all crunchy. I do like some softer. Good service, helpful with our questions. read more

Excellent location. Superb service. Very good seating/spacing. Food was great. I met my cousins from Houston half way and decided on this place as our meeting place and to have lunch. I thought the menu was good. It had enough items to select from that covered all 5 of our taste. From a simple sandwich to a nice big fresh salad. In the end we delighted on the deserts, too. None complained about the food. I think the portions were good. The food was tasty and the bbq sauce added the final touch. I think prices were very good. The extra star on my review may have been for the need to give me more cobbler, but I understand, that may have been reserved for a scoop of ice cream that I decided not to take. The cobbler was good. It was not overly sweet. While I have had better, I enjoyed this. The banana pudding was very good per my cousins. They said it was nice and clumpy with the bananas and tasted great with whip cream and vanilla wafers. Yum for them. Service was superb because they were right there to help us and talk us through our menu explanation if required. They cleaned our table as required as we ate. They did not hurry us in getting out of there and they kept the place immaculate. I would definitely recommend it. And myself will return when in Bastrop. read more

I have to say that every food item I have eaten at southside barbecue is good. The food is kind of pricey but if you're willing to pay for good barbecue, this is the place in Bastrop. Around meal time, the line can get fairly long but does move consistently. Personally, I think the sliced brisket is the best meat. All of the meat plates are good. I have tried their baked potato with brisket and was very surprised that I just did not care for it. I'm usually a fan of stuffed baked potatoes but not these. If you are still hungry after eating, they have peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert! The inside dining area is very spacious and you can either sit at one of their long tables or in a booth. They also have an"outer" dining area which is still enclosed, with windows on all three sides and has more of a picnic atmosphere. Our family has had several birthday meals and gatherings out there. It's a nice space with a little more privacy for a large group. And they don't mind if you bring in a birthday cake! Southside is usually our go to place when we have guests from out of town. read more

One of the biggest things aboutthe Bastrop Southside Market is the wide variety of Soda options at the fountain. I was amazed to find RC AND Coke, a couple Hi C options, and many more. What a great variety! I got a baked potato with brisket and all the toppings. A delicous meal that is very filling. Perfectly baked potato and the toppings just blend in and make an incredible flavor. Wifey got a sandwhich and some potato salad. The only thing I can say I don't really like about Soutside is the BBQ Sauce. I'm not a fan of their sauce, its just a personal thing about the flavor. read more

Maybe I went too early in the day. There was literally no one there when I arrived, which I was pleased to see as I thought that would translate into good food and good customer service. Customer service was friendly but felt a little rushed as if they wanted me to hurry and order. I did ask for recommendations from the cashier who recommended the two meat plate. The sausage was good. The brisket was also flavorful but extremely fatty. Neither meat had a hint of smoke which was disappointing. Portions were small. My kiddo said the mac & cheese was good. I had a baked potato, which was also small, but it was a baked potato and was what you would expect in terms of flavor. Overall okay experience. read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. We were in Texas to visit family and they brought us here. The restaurant is a standalone location with a huge parking lot. Once you get out of your car you can smell the smoked barbecue in the air. The inside is big with lots of tables. We ordered a family meal of the brisket and sausage with sides of Mac and cheese, beans and potato salad. The meal comes with a whole loaf of bread! Everything was delicious and we really enjoyed the Texas BBQ. Will definitely be back during our next trip to Texas. read more

There's a big difference between moist brisket and plain fat. Not all parts of a brisket should be served, yet I received a chunk that was almost entirely fat. Considering the price of brisket today, that's completely unacceptable. read more

Lately, I have noticed when we stop in now and then (over these past years); there have been such a turnover in female personnel. We have a Ladies group that likes going out to eat at same chain restaurants/fast food in different locations. We like seeing friendly (female) staff that is welcoming and somehow we get acquainted over time and then suddenly a visit and their gone. Fortunately, we see them at other franchises and after a bit of persistence; we find out that they were fired for reporting sexual harassment from 1 or 2 particular male coworkers that once they reported them to managerial staff. Instead of authoritive action taken towards the perpretator--they are fired immediately. I don't think the original location for the Bracewells appreciate having their family reputation be to allow such actions among their staff members. Some peculiar reason; the Bastrop location seems to be common of this continual actions to their younger female staff ( the same persons). Many of us remember our younger years of working in different franchises throughout different states and knowledge of such actions, yet company policies were more justified in consequences to the predators and value to the victims. Nowadays, many more women are more alert and know their safety and value is important to their workplace. Many of us like to continue at workplaces where we have longevity and not fear being fired for standing up for our rights and safety. Guess the og and Hutto locations will be our only regular lunch spots on our explorations around Central Texas going forward. Explore other Bastrop locations for our Ladies group outings now. read more

Pricy. We've always had very friendly and efficient customer service. Restaurant is always clean and they have a drive thru. I will tell you that we've ordered through food apps twice and the cuts we received were something that you would not be served if you came to the restaurant in person. My recommendation is that you dine in or do the drive thru. read more

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while now but the opportunity never arose so when I was in the local area I made sure to stop by. My expectations were unfortunately greater than what I ended up getting. It's a BBQ spot in essence but more of a Dickies type fast food type which I was not expecting or aware of but also not a negative thing. Where the restaurant suffered for me was the quality of the food. The brisket I got with my combo was lukewarm at best as well as the jalapeño cheddar sausage. The sausage slammer I had was great as well as the beans. The Mac and cheese missed the spot for me as it felt bland and the breadcrumbs didn't elevate it at all. I wish it had been better but it wasn't terrible either. Just kind of average. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this BBQ spot. It wasn't horrible, but not amazing. The sausage was good and I don't usually love sausage. The brisket was good, but not out of this world to go out of your way. The potato salad I give a thumbs up with some of their spicy bbq sauce on top. Beans I'm sorry no flavor. Also only beer and sodas are served. No liquor, wine or seltzers. They do have a nice little meat market in the restaurant. I thought it wasn't a bad deal for the Summer Sausage for $6.49. I say try it once if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to travel to it. read more

Been literally driving by this place for years when passing through Bastrop. Finally decided to stop and try it, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the 2 meat combo plate and some sausage slammers. Sausage Slammers 10/10 - these are a specialty item here and freaking amazing!! It is a sausage stuffed with cheese and jalapeño then wrapped in bacon!! All of the flavors balance out to create a unique experience for the palate. Definitely check these out! 2 Meat Combo Plate 7/10 - I got mine with sausage and brisket. Comes with 2 sides which I picked pinto beans and potato salad. The brisket is tasty but a tad too dry (I asked for lean). The sausage was ok, not my fave, but not bad. The potato salad was pretty good to me. The flavor was a bit bland and too tart for my taste, but not bad though ironically. The beans were good, I'd suggest them. Atmosphere 8/10 - the place is big, clean and inviting. Service 8/10 - friendly staff and helpful. Seemed a bit rushed with a small crowd. Overall 8/10 - definitely give these guys a shot. Better overall than a lot of other BBQ joints I've tried. www.southsidemarket.com read more

A friend and I stopped in to try their brisket sandwiches today. What a treat! Initially they told us about 30 minutes when we called in. Once we arrived, we were 10 minutes early, parked at curbside and they brought our order right out. The regular was loaded! I'll have to come back to try their loaded potato! read more

If you're looking for great Texas BBQ then this is a must. Melts in your mouth yummy food and great service.

Being in Barbecue Country, we drove into Bastrop for a great lunch only to find that many of the BBQ hangouts were closed until 5:00. Southside M & B was a good second choice. The food was served cafeteria style; we prefer a menu and wait staff. We had a brisket and sausage plate with potato salad and beans. The sausage was tasty, brisket was very good, and the potato salad was not to my liking ( but edible). The market looked very nice. The eating area was very large, and the decor was simplistically nice. There was a large private parking lot right off of the freeway. read more

Brisket is soon good! Baby back ribs are meaty and have awesome flavor. Potato salad is mayo based and nice chunks of potatoes in my opinion, it could use some sweet pickle relish but has a good flavor. Coleslaw is peppery and the veggies well chopped. Dino ribs are massive but we didn't get one today because a large part of the weight comes from the bone. Pork steaks are a favorite for us and always cooked to perfection. Great variety of fountain drinks and freshly brewed tea always available. Bbq sauce is warm and hot sauce is plentiful at the tables. Pricey but worth it. Try the smoked chicken salad next time you're here. read more
