I've been wanting to try this place for a while because I see the billboards. The portions were big, but honestly, the barbecue was not so great. Also, the restaurant was dirty and all day I was there. I had a lot of flies. read more

Tallent Sausage is one of the top sausage spots in Texas. Great customer service, and a clean, organized store. I tried the chicken salad today, and had to share the good news. It is definitely worth the trip, and the prices are great. read more

Great selection of meat. We also like they have specials in frozen section. They also serve lunch.

My best pal champions this meat market's smoked meats, particularly their sausages. We were on our way to a rodeo event in Crockett and it was 9:30 am. Imagine my surprise when we pulled in and left out with a couple of chopped brisket sandwiches. This lunch worthy breakfast did not disappoint! The brisket was nice and tasty, as was the barbecue sauce! Can't wait to get back there and try the sausage...even though I'm not into the pork/beef mix. The atmosphere is that of a small, country town meat market. Very hospitable staff and a good mix of patrons on an early Saturday morning. read more

Everything is great. Our favorites are the various pencil link sausages. We grill them while we're cooking a brisket overnight with friends drinking cervezas on the patio. read more

Sliced beef...gross. how about fresh onions and descent bbq sauce. Bitter. Sausage hot dog wrap also gross

We come here at least weekly - they have a small grocery store when we don't want to drive into town. Their wed special for chopped beef sammich, chips and a drink is $6! You can't eat at McDonald's for that. Their sausage selection can't be beat. They also process deer at this location. Get the peppered pork tenderloin - you won't regret it read more

We've always enjoyed the quality of the meat at their meat counter. I'm not normally a fan of German sausage, but enjoy their version. Pork chops, steak, roasts, hamburger meat and sausages have all been high quality. read more

Meat is of great quality and people give quality service. Shopping is easy and people will answer your question.

all of your merchandice that I have received has been excelent. I have been doing business with you before you moved across the hwy.

Good grab N go spot traveling through East Texas. Always a great experience before return to Southern finger licking food!

Delicious sausage and some of the friendliest & enthusiastic service I've had in a while - for such a reasonable price ! We got half pound of different sausages, accompanied by pickles, onions, bbq sauce, and Jalapeños. But don't forget dessert! Strawberry creme cake, honey bun cake, and pineapple turnover cake, all under $1! If you need any other snacks or drinks, or groceries, it is only a step away. Bathrooms are available, as well as in-door dinning tables and free parking. Payment for all your products is done at the checkout counter. read more

We bought pounds of boudin from them. I am from Louisiana and I know boudin. This is the best boudin that I have had in many many years and is so reasonably priced! Love it! read more

Don't drive too fast down 19 because you'll have to turn around. Really good sausage and bbq. Drive from New Waverly. Got in and out pretty quick for as busy as it was. Gonna need to come earlier as we missed out on the sliced beef but the chopped was fabulous! Jalapeño garlic jerky was AMAZEBALLS as it was smoky AND spicy. We WILL be making the trip again. read more

Delicious sausages in a variety of styles. Plus fresh cuts of meat butchered on the spot. Doesn't get much better than that.

Excellent Barbeque after stopping on way home from visit to Trinity. Purchased some wonderful sausage links for home. read more

The sausage is so good and fresh. The meat is great priced. The staff is great and friendly. The place is always clean and stocked

Wife and I decided to stop and get chopped beef sandwich at Tallent restaurant. We noticed right off the bat, the staff took our order...silently, no instructions to get drinks or where to pay. However I then tried to eat my sandwich with was NOT chopped beef... it was ground fat and gristle with a few tint pieces of meat. There was no smoked smell,, just a greasy smear of fat. NEVER again will I stop there read more

Food was excellent. Customer service was excellent. The store is very clean and they have anything you are looking for. They are about 13 minutes away from Sam Houston State University. read more

Grocery store, meat market and BBQ cafe all in one! Brisket is lean, but still moist. They offer a choice between German and regular smoked sausage, with the German being a little spicier as it has pepper added. Both are delicious. Sides include pinto beans, which are a tad spicy, but delicious, potato salad, and coleslaw. You can get a chopped beef or sliced beef sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, and various types of barbecue plates to include sausage, brisket, and chicken. On your way out grab some of their personal label hot sauces and jellies, etc. You can also grab delicious cuts of meat for the week so you can continue to enjoy the Tallent Sausage, Grocery and BBQ experience at home. read more

This place is apart of my childhood, the nostalgia & taste you can't find anywhere, whenever I'm back home visiting Texas I always stop here!!! Best links in the world read more

They have the best fresh meat, sausage, u name it it's good I guarantee it!! I don't go anywhere else for my meats !!! There service is pretty quick as well I give them a 10 * rating !!!! read more

Talent has the best Bar-B-Qued ribs that I have ever eaten. They also have awesome chef salads with either turkey or ham. Their potato salad is excellent and the Banana Pudding tastes as delicious as my MaMaw's used to taste. Their Deli Smoked Turkey is excellent. Makes awesome sandwiches. I would recommend Talent to anyone that wants excellent Bar-B-Que, salads, and deli cold cuts. They also have gourmet stuffed chicken, pork chops and quail. Their venison sausage is the only link sausage I like to buy. You can get frozen sausage, stuffed chickens, pork chops and quail. They also have very thin sliced frozen calf liver. read more

I have been recommending Talents to friends for years. I'm kinda sorry because now they are packed. Still worth the wait.

Terrible sausage. Bought four different kinds. Recipes need work! Awful chorizo... this was a bland burger waste of time. Also bought some salsa... got it home and it was expired by months! Are you guys real Texans!!! read more

We love this place! We stop by a couple times a year on the way to the lake. Great stop to pick up a BBQ sandwich! The sausage is fantastic! we always buy some of their 3 link packs in different flavors to take home. The garlic, chipotle & swiss, and cajun are some of our favs!. Their canned goods like their apple butter and preserves are a must!! Not to mention their spice blends and BBQ sauce!! Truly a must stop! read more

Best sausage wraps in town! Great service and nice little shop. Great home styled goods, I want to try everything here.

I saw a billboard sign on 45n and noticed a sausage market. Planned a road trip for the following weekend. I was impressed because I love the smell of barbeque. I like the fact that it was very friendly and customer attentive. A wide variety of sausage and meat packages. This is a nice trip just to on and you can take a trip to the lake. read more

The nicest friendliest people work here. They are genuine. We have a little fishing cabin on Harmon creek, we come here every couple of weeks to get our tastey sausage, and replenish the best salsa Fresca. It's homemade by a lady . So good. I can drink the salsas here. read more

Great sausage, especially the german, venison, and original flavors!! I miss the po'boy sandwiches at the deli. They were the best.

Perfect little country store and meat market that has knowledgeable staff! The prices can be a little higher than in town and you don't have the extensive selection but they have what you NEED! The staff there make your shopping experience the best! read more

I love Tallent!!! We stop every time we are in the area to pick up some great cuts of meat. Their thick cut bacon, sausage and pork chops are favorites. Their cooked sausage slices make for good snacking while we travel. And who doesn't love happy smiling employees serving you read more

So we were staying in our travel trailer nearby and saw this interesting place. It's a great way lace to pickup a few meat items for a trip to give you a meal for a first night if you are tired. We grabbed a smoked pork loin and some fig preserves. Soooooo good! We used on salads and for breakfast for several meals since it was just the two of us. The folks were friendly and we'd definitely stop here again! read more

I came here a second time, and let's just say my second experience here was the polar opposite of my first. There was no tape necessary to keep my box shut (a big disappointment considering how much I appreciated it last time). Both my chicken breast and my brisket were overcooked and dry. Blech. The sausage was a'ight-- nothing to rave about. I would give this experience 1 star, but I'll bump it up since my first experience here was significantly better. read more

Tears! Tears I say! I grew up loving this sausage. My family is from huntsvill and we always would go and get some tallents sausage for every occasion. Family reunion, Tallent's sausage; Christmas, tallents sausages, man if its time to make some gumbo you had better make that trip and get some tallents sausage. Well it had been years since I made this trip to get some of them lovely links. I drove over there while leaving from a trip to the see the family. Its not a quick trip either even if you live in huntsvill this is a 20-30 mile drive. I get there and I ask the lady for some HOT sausage "we dont have hot sausge" I say "aw that sucks you ran out?" "No we dont make HOT sausage anymore." What! How can you have a place known for making sausage and not have freaking HOT sausage? Thats the next most requested sausage after flippin plain dang sausage. Well the other sausage wasnt bad back in the day so I got some plain beef and pork and the new cajun style they had, along with a pack of german. To make the story short I have tried them all since we got back I tried to cook them every way but on my engine block. Smoked em, fried em, grilled em, boiled em too. They never came out right to greasy. No place close to what they used to be I cant stand it seems like someone may have passed or quite or they sold the place to someone else but this is not the tallents of old. I just cant bring myself to give them one star so you get 2 the extra one is for the memory's. read more

I absolutely love this place. We go there at least 3 times a week. There food is always fresh and yummy. I highly recommend this place. It doesn't get any better. read more

One word "YUMMY" I was passing by when I stopped here to try their food. I had heard of this place before but had never had a chance to stop by. They sale BBQ and BBQ Sandwiches... Their chopped beef sandwiches were the best I've ever had. This place is pricy but worth it every dime. Since this place is a meat market they also sell good meats... Too bad this place is a bit far from Houston otherwise I'd come here more often for lunch... read more

Tallent Sausage & Grocery - Tallent's Chopped Beef "Delicious" Sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Riverside, Texas

Coming up from Huntsville, I saw a billboard advertising the place and knew I'd be stopping in. Keep an eye out it comes up quick. This quaint little grocery makes it's own amazing and varied selection of sausages and salamis. The one I really wanted to try was the venison, but sadly just passing through I had nowhere to keep or cook it. Folks around me were buying them so be sure to try it out. They have a little lunch counter too. The fellow in front of me ordered a tasty looking sliced beef sandwich. I had a small sausage roller ("small" being the size of a normal bratwurst, "roller" being on a piece of white bread and rolled up) covered with the clerk's recommendation of Barbatard: a mixture of mustard and BBQ sauce. All for only 2 bucks! It was seriously delish! Try it out!!! read more
