I know this is an old thread and this is a little off topic, however,
Locally, I have heard nothing but bad about Southside, but on a lazy whim today, I tried the drive through at the Southside in Bastrop - the drive through opens earlier than their restaurant or any other brisket joint around and I just had the hankerin for some brisket, so I gave it a try. I ordered some "moist brisket" and saw a "pork steak" on their menu so I thought I would try it.
The order taker was super nice but the window person had the "life sucks because I have to work" attitude. Both items were packaged superbly and nothing leaked through the wrappings for the drive home.
The brisket was superbly tender and juicy - I'm not going to say it tastes as good as one of my spit roasted prime chuck shoulders, but it was better than acceptable, not overly salty, smelled wonderful, and I have had much worse.
The pork steak was simply fantastic - I never tasted any barbecued pork that good, including any pork I have ever barbecued. It was really great and I will be going back for more.
I am looking forward to trying their sausage.
Strange what you find out when you're feeling lazy!
