Since 1949, the Meyer family has been making sausage in Elgin from the precious heirloom recipe brought to Texas by a German immigrant great-grandfather. The current generation of Meyer brothers expanded the wholesale sausage operation and added a restaurant in 1998. In addition to two flavors of sausage, the smokehouse menu features turkey breast, pork ribs, and beef brisket by the sandwich, plate, or pound with traditional side dishes. Everything comes on butcher paper and plastic containers, with rolls of paper towels and bottles of sauce placed in strategic locations. Grab an icy cold beer or soda from the metal tub, find a table, and eat.
