Elgin Party Bus, Limo & Coach Bus Rental

Elgin (pronounced with a hard "G" -- "EL-gin") holds a title that BBQ enthusiasts treat with reverence: the official Sausage Capital of Texas. This designation, granted by the Texas Legislature, recognizes a tradition of sausage-making that dates back to the 1880s when German and Czech immigrants began producing the hot sausage links that would make this small town famous across the state and beyond. Southside Market & Barbeque is the institution at the center of Elgin's sausage fame. Founded in 1882, Southside has been producing hot sausage links for over 140 years. The sausage -- a coarsely ground blend of beef and pork seasoned with cayenne pepper and other spices, stuffed into natural casings and smoked over post-oak -- is the definitive Elgin product. The casing snaps when you bite into it, releasing juices and spice that are addictive. Southside also serves excellent brisket, ribs, and sides. Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse is the other pillar of the Elgin sausage tradition. Meyer's links are slightly mellower than Southside's, with a more balanced spice profile that some prefer. Both establishments have been producing sausage for over a century, and the friendly rivalry between them has elevated the quality at both. A party bus BBQ tour to Elgin takes thirty minutes from Austin on US-290. Most groups combine Elgin with Taylor (twenty minutes north for Louie Mueller's beef ribs) or Bastrop (fifteen minutes south for the Lost Pines and Main Street). The resulting dual-city BBQ tour is one of the best food experiences in Central Texas. Call 512-900-8324. Elgin BBQ tours typically run four to six hours. Groups of ten to twenty are perfect for our party buses.
