“ September 2020? I know I've eaten here several times since then and updated at least once? In Ft Worth for the day,I was headed to Railhead for lunch when I passed Panther City BBQ. For those that don't know,it's purported to be one of the best on the planet and ranked #10 on the Top 50 list I chose to keep going till I got to Railhead for several reasons. You don't have to sell your First born or 2nd mortgage your home to enjoy good BBQ . I know,it's in Vogue to tell your work bros and sis that you're checking off the top 50 list. Now,I'm not suggesting you don't pursue the Ark,but occasionally throw these old guys that built the business of Texas Q tradition a bone and save some money at the same time. Our ribs, turkey, chopped beef, potato salad and French fries today were solid 4 star authentic Texas Q. In addition, I literally saved 1/2 what I'd have spent Boutique Q'n it. So without further ado..... Go! ”
“ Popped in here for a late lunch on Friday afternoon and was surprised at the lack of wait! The ambiance was no frills which somehow made it feel like even more authentic barbecue. Our meal: Super yummy, moist and tender pulled pork with a side of slaw, baked beans, and green beans. The baked beans were a bit saltier and spicier than I'm used to but the whole meal was delicious! I know it's a crime not to try the beef but I will be back! ”
“ Great food, good, fast, and friendly customer service. Atmosphere laid back and comfy. ”
“ Great to go item from Railhead, the turkey stuffed baked potato. Hearty and filling, with lots of little extras. Sour cream, butter, bacon bits plus BBQ sauce. Not bad at all for about $9 including tax! Will get this again. Service was fast at the window, the restaurant looked busy inside. I know from previous visits it's a great place to hang out also. Keep rollin' on Railhead Smokehouse! ”
“ So, they were VERY busy on a Tuesday evening around 5:30. Parking lot was full, so we expected to wait in line. There were about 30 people ahead of us and the line was absolutely crawling -- almost stand still. We watched several people waiting for their food and finally figured out that they had only one person taking the orders -- and he was the same guy cutting the brisket and making sandwiches for EVERYONE. We were probably in line for 20 minutes. The food, beef brisket, pork ribs, and sausage were all excellent. Would go 5 stars but for the VERY slow service. ”
“ They have weekday specials you can't beat! I love getting their fries with grilled onions reminds me of my Grandmas fried potatoes. I always ask for extra pickle spears and it's a well rounded out meal choose brisket, pulled pork, beef it's all good. ”
“ Really decent old-school barbecue served on a divided plate so the ranch style beans stay put and the potatoe salad has its own place. Today I stopped in for lunch. I ordered their chopped beef sandwich plate. Hard to beat simplicity! Their ribs won't disappoint. I recommend Railhead Barbecue. ”
“ We have been to Railhead many times. The barbecue ribs, green beans, and coleslaw are all my favs. The super smoky, flavor, and good portions of ribs for a fair price, brings us back pretty regularly. The restaurant is fit for your cowboy hat and boots, very casual. It's clean and always busy. The staff there is very accommodating even though they are super busy. Today, my ribs were a bit on the fatty side and they were happy to provide some ribs that were more lean, without a fuss. This is a great spot for locals to come or if you're visiting you will not be let down with this Texas barbecue! ”
