Southside Market & Barbeque is a Texas-based restaurant brand that traces its roots to downtown Elgin, founded in 1882. It is described as the oldest continuously operating barbecue establishment in the United States, with the original Elgin restaurant still in operation at 1212 Highway 290. The business is owned by third-generation pitmaster Bryan Bracewell and his wife Rachel, and over more than a century it has expanded from a single butcher shop to a multi-location barbecue brand focused on sausage and smoked meats central to Texas barbecue. The Elgin flagship sits alongside other locations in Austin, Bastrop, and Hutto, reflecting its status as a regional destination for authentic barbecue.

Headquartered in Elgin, the company operates within the restaurants industry as a mid-sized regional operator with a growing Texas footprint. In 2025, it opened a new location in Leander, Texas, underscoring ongoing expansion beyond its original market.
