I had known about the historic location in Elgin that claims to be the oldest barbecue spot in Texas. They have updated their processes to keep up with the times and in the last 15 years have begun opening new locations throughout Central Texas, with one in the Co-Op District of Hutto. I have had plenty of barbecue in my time, from chains to Texas Monthly recognized and Michelin star winning locations. I understand that not all barbecue is the same, but I also understand that barbecue served all day like at Southside Market can still be good. I do not think that is truly the case, though. My first experience was when Southside Market catered a holiday party for my work. I thought it was alright, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, saying that it was catered. You do not judge a meal based on it being kept warm in a pan that was probably cooked at 8 am that morning or the night prior. It is not the same game. I went back a few months later for a birthday lunch and got their combo plate with sausage and sliced brisket. My first thought: This tasted like it was catered. The Jalapeño Cheddar sausage was decent but tasted a little too smoky, and the brisket really did nothing for me. The side of potato salad was good, but you cannot mess up potato salad that badly. Their mac and cheese was good, I think. I do not remember it whatsoever. I went back recently after almost nine months with a desire to get a baked potato with chopped brisket for lunch. I got it without sour cream but kept the rest of the toppings of cheddar cheese, chives, and butter. I took it to go, which I rarely do, but it was a busy day. I cannot describe how disappointing the potato was. First, the potato was smaller than I had expected. The saucy chopped brisket tasted like a smoked Sloppy Joe thrown on a spud. It was really too smoky for me to even enjoy it. I felt like I was eating a chimney. It did nothing to raise my spirits and like that, I was forever out on Southside Market. I am probably one in a million because they have steady foot traffic inside on a frequent basis, but I wonder if the name is doing all the work. The staff was great and the space is well done and spacious, but the food actually has to be good to make that a plus factor. I have no idea if the food is any better at their original Elgin location, but I would rather go to Smokey Mo's across the tracks in Hutto because the potato is a good size and the brisket had a good flavor to it. Here, I just was not impressed. I will not ever return unless I am invited with co-workers or something, and even if I am, I will debate the idea of saying yes.

The restaurant was clean, the staff was super friendly, there wasn't a wait (this should've been a…read morewarning) but the food was mediocre. I excitedly ordered the combo plate so I'd be able to try a few things and sausage/ brisket are my favorite meats. The sausage was not good. It didn't have a snap but instead the casing was chewy and I wasn't a fan of the texture or taste of the meat. The brisket was seasoned well on the outside but lacked a Smokey bbq flavor throughout the meat. The potato salad was tasty but overall the food wasn't that good.

I went for the 1 meat plate and got a nice healthy portion of moist and lean brisket with mac and cheese and smothered green beans as my side. The brisket was fantastic, seasoned well, and had a great flavor. I must say that the green beans were one of the best things I've ever tasted. They're cooked with bacon and potatoes in there as well, and I don't think I can ever eat normal green beans again. As I mentioned before, really generous portion size and the pricing was right on point. The owner was really nice, and my food was ready in a matter of minutes. You can definitely tell there's a lot of passion that goes into every plate they serve and it shows through the taste of the food. I can't wait to come back and try more BBQ!

Fries: crispy, crunchy, hot, fresh, salty, overall great fry. Onion rings: one of the best I've had. Crispy, crunchy, hot, fresh, salty, good onion flavor. Green chile pepper burger: It can go head to head with any burger chain, Hopdoddy or Whataburger. To me it's in the same top tier of burgers. The bun has to be Martins potato bun soft nice chew with a hint of egg flavor. Toasted on both sides so they got it done right. The beef patty has to be 80/20 maybe that's why it's beefy and moist in the center. The mayo mixed with the spicy green peppers adds just layers of flavors. When you bite into it, you get the soft bun immediately you get that kick from the green peppers then you get that creaminess from the mayo, and then it all comes together with that beefy flavor from the patty. The thick cuts of pickles, tomatoes and lettuce really adds freshness that the burger needs because it's very heavy and rich. It has an umami and has that crave factor. They selected the right onions, red, the red onion goes well with the green chile. The zing from the red onions adds more flavor. The meal is not cheap to say, $15 for a burger is up in price but you get what you pay for and to me, based on the location, based on the overall freshness, it's worth it. It's worth paying a higher amount to get a higher valued meal. If you want ranch, you have to ask for it and plus no extra charge.

We both had been wanting to try LaYne's Chicken FIngers new location in Leander. it's on Hero Way. Just past the H-E-B plus. It's tucked away on the end of a strip center so pay attention because you don't wanna miss it.!!! HK ordered a five piece chicken, tender meal, regular-not spicy, it came with an order of crinkle, cut, french fries and tea or soda, which she upgraded to a vanilla milkshake for a couple dollars. I ordered the two chicken finger kids meal, which also came with fries and a kid size beverage. There is another chicken place in town that I go to. Any chance I get because I just thoroughly enjoy their chicken. I have to say that Lainey's chicken fingers were juicy, crunchy, hot and overall delicious!! I was duly impressed. And the french fries were also definitely a step above most french fries at restaurants in our area. I don't know if it was because they were crinkle cut, or maybe they were freshly fried, but they were lightly salted and hot and delicious. HK also enjoyed her meal. She actually ended up eating it for lunch and supper that day. She also was very impressed with the flavor, the coating and the way the chicken was fried. She complemented them on the milkshake as well. Evidently it was nice and thick and that's the way she likes her milkshakes so it was right up her alley. We decided that although we have other very good chicken places in the vicinity, Laynes is a cut above and we can't wait to return!!
