Railroad BBQ

It's always been good but they keep increasing prices every time I go in. I'm like everyone else that wants to support local but it's getting ridiculous.

At first when we moved to DS, we had a couple of not so good food experiences from Railroad. We gave it some time and continued to try it and we definitely enjoy it now! LOVE the loaded baked potato, so good and warm fuzzy feeling! I have not been inside, but the outside is very rustic. The staff seem to always be kind and try to be quick. Drive thru is a little odd, but it works.

Walk up to order and then they call your name. Decor is kitschy with concrete floors, metal walls and ceiling and license plates from all over the US. It works well. I ordered brisket, macaroni and cheese and cole slaw. The flavor was decent, but nothing to write home about. The texture was decent. I would eat here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

I have had this BBQ three times now and have tried the brisket, turkey and sausage. All had good smoky flavor, and all were moist and tender. I appreciate that nothing was spicy except the sausage, and that was milder than many. Even their sauce is flavorful without being hot. If you want heat there are bottles of Cholula on the tables. My husband was pleased with their chicken-fried steak dinner. I like all of their BBQ side dishes.

Best ribs I've ever had!! And the potato salad is killer. Love this place; one of my favorites for sure!!

Super native Texan BBQ. We go there once a week! We enjoy the smoky moist bracelets!Much better than the Salt Like BBQ.

Brisket was dry and hard. I specifically asked for moist. Once I received it, not all slices were moist. When I brought it to their attention he said sorry we are not allowed to give all moist it has to be a Mix. Believe me even the moist was dry and hard. Very disappointing. Sausage had no taste. Sides were good though. No I will not be returning I'd rather go to the one down the street where they serve better brisket (but salty) hopefully they changed

We shied away from Railroad for Years because of the poor reviews. We finally broke down to try them tonight - give them a chance. So we did. And regretted it. Those poor reviews were earned.The venue is pretty classic CenTex BBQ joint. Lots of sheet metal. Deer heads mounted on the wall. Counter service. Nothing unconventional about the menu-- all stuff you'd expect. It does look a little down-at-the-heels though. Paint peeling away all around the entrance door. Rough patches in the walkway. We both tried a brisket plate. And we both arrived at the conclusion that it was nothing special. No smoke ring, not much flavor. It was tender, to be sure. And they do give you very generous portions. But 'a lot' doesn't make up for mediocre. It took sauce to make it palatable, and good brisket doesn't need sauce. The potato salad, according to my companion, was somewhere below run-of-the-mill. The mac'n'cheese was no better. The green beans were probably from a can and just heated up with no effort to enhance them. It did come out quickly and was mostly warm. While the service was cordial and welcoming, the food failed them. There are a number of better BBQ places in the vicinity.

Good chopped beef sandwich and it was very inexpensive! Next time maybe I'll get 2...one to eat there and one for the road!

This is by far the best barbecue in the area, SO much better than PP down the road. The meat is cooked well and always flavorful and fresh. The sides are fantastic. I especially like the potato salad, but everything I've tried has been great. It's family owned and run, and they obviously take pride in their service and food. I highly recommend it. I usually get it to go, so I can't really speak to the ambiance.
