It was a pleasure to record video commercials for Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse! The Meyer Family has been crafting mouthwatering sausages and smoked meats for over 75 years. The BBQ restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring signature brisket, ribs, turkey breast, and award-winning sausages. Private Party Room is perfect for the family gathering or corporate events. I loved the ribs and brisket at Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse!!!Make sure you check out the Smokehouse in Elgin, TX.

Came on a Tuesday and got some really good meat. The brisket had an awesome bark and the ribs had a wonderful flavor. I'd argue the meats did not require sauce. Sides were sides, nothing special. Friendly service.

got the 3 meat plate with Brisket (always order moist), sausage and ribs. Sodes were mac n cheese and pinto beans. Lets break it downBrisket ðŸ¤¤ 8.5/10. Great seasoning, beautiful bark, juicy and tender Ribs 7.8/10. Seasoning was decent and perfect bite through tenderness Sausage 9/10. The sausage is spot on (which it should be seeing as how Elgin is the sausage capital lol) Mac n cheese 7.8/10. Moist and creamy. Flavor was good but could use a tad bit more cheese flavor. Definitely one of the better restaurant quality mac n cheese. Beans 5/10. Not sure what happened here but first bite was lacking flavor. I spoke with the wonderful staff and they brought me some of the bean seasoning. Much better once I added seasoning. Staff 10/10 very nice and welcoming. Overall 8.0

This place is bad.I placed an online order and the mobile experience was awful. That should have been my first hint.Went into the restaurant to pick up the food and the lady at the counter didn't want to give me bread, sauce, pickles and onions.... Even though the website says that it comes with the family meal that I order.The bbq sauce is bad. The sausage is tender and juicy but had no flavor. The brisket was not tender, was extremely greasy and had no flavor. The chili tasted like it was sweet bbq sauce with some meat left in it. Gross.Beans... No flavor Mac n cheese was wet, no flavor.The whole experience was extremely poor.I definitely will not be coming back, I feel like I was robbed for the $120 that I spent here.

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect barbecue place, and mine is in Driftwood, Texas, with huge open pits, the option of outdoor seating under live oaks, friendly wait staff, and a rustic atmosphere. Meyer's does not fall into those categories. You stand in line, read the menu from the board or card, and tell the person behind the register your order, which is delivered to your table a bit later. You get your own plastic knives and forks. The dining room lacks much character, though the wooden ceiling does add some warmth.The food, however, was delicious. I got a sandwich that had brisket, beef sausage, and grilled onions, as well as a side order of Mexican cream corn. My friend got a pulled pork sandwich. We were both happy with our food.If you like beer with your BBQ, your options are limited. I asked the woman taking my order what beers they had, and she said, "I don't know; they are in the cooler over there." The cooler was behind the counter and had a glass door, so all I could see were Coors Light and Bud Light. There were a couple of others but you get the drift.There is a wonderful mural just inside the door. That and the food are worth coming for.But it ain't the one in Driftwood.
