Railhead Smokehouse

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.

I had heard such good things about railhead. I frequented FTW and every time they said you want good bbq go to railhead or heim. Railhead was closer this night so I checked it out. Was a slow night and maybe this was the main mistake. Got a 2 meat plate so I could try out a couple of things. I am beyond glad I got moist brisket because it was dry, so I can only imagine how the lean was. The ribs were okay, nothing to write home about. The sauce? It's the type I hate most: tastes like Campbell's tomato soup with seasoning. There is a place in Houston with similar sauce and while it's objective, I greatly dislike the sauce. The sides: potato salad was the star of the night. Which sadly isn't saying much. Green beans were pretty limp and yeah. Just not for me. I'm also a bit of a hippy when it comes to the environment and the fact they serve styrofoam trays and plastic cutlery just annoys me. I would think it's less expensive to just buy cafeteria trays and a set of utensils but I also don't run a restaurant so who knows. However, it's incredibly wasteful. So I hate to sound like a negative Nancy, but in a town full of BBQ restaurants I'm sad. Hope it was just an off night for me but yeah.

1) Food was horrible ! 2) service was as bad ! 3) it's pretty much bar for older gentleman.. don't let the full parking fool you ! We couldn't even eat the food . Don't waste your time on this place ...

Great food, good, fast, and friendly customer service. Atmosphere laid back and comfy.

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!

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!

Great place. Was in town for business and place was suggested. Great food, easy atmosphere and the beer served in a frozen goblet. I had the brisket sandwich. Very good. Onion rings were a bit overcooked, but still good.

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.

Love the food here, the ribs fall off the bone. Downside, it's always crowded.But worth the wait.
