Southside was started in 1882 by a man named William J. Moon selling fresh meats door to door from the back of a wagon. He opened his first storefront in 1886 as a local butcher who served BBQ in the back. At heart, Southside is still that same small town market serving the needs of our communities in Elgin and Bastrop.

For 138 years our signature item has been our Southside Original Beef Sausage. You can find it available every day at our meat markets as fresh rope sausage - where the links are as long as the casing will allow. Order it by the pound, or the yard! We also offer fresh prime briskets, custom-cut steak, and more.
Bastrop Meat Counter
