What People Are Saying About Railhead Smokehouse

In Short – TCU students love the bar; families at laminated tables love the casual sprawl and everybody loves hanging out at one of Cowtown's best places for beef. This isn't a steakhouse so much as a spiffy barbecue place--somewhere between a sawdust bar and a ranch replete with patios. The serving line pushes regulars through the choices, including juicy, tangy slaw that pushes napkins to lips. The bar is good for a casual Wednesday night hang.

Not my type of BBQ
by DFWFoodGuy at Citysearch
I will admit I am not from Texas. I am from St. Louis and prefer a different type of BBQ than Railhead offers. So, the main thrust of this review is to ensure those who prefer St. Louis Style BBQ or Memphis Style BBQ are not disappointed by going to Railhead and thinking that is what you are going to get here. I have gone to Railhead three to four times with co-workers for lunch; most often on the Thursday "Rib Day" for the special. The main reason that I did not like Railhead is the BBQ they serve ends up tough, overcooked, and dry. Not what I am used to. I prefer what is served up at Red Hot & Blue.
Bring on the Mauls!
- Pros: Quick service. Decent size portion.
- Cons: Meat is dryed out. Don't get the soggy dill pickle.

Ignorant Reviews...
by thenorms at Citysearch
To the guy who wrote "overrated" on 9/30/07 you don't know what real bbq should taste like...that's probably why you found it to be dry and for your comment on "Rudy's in Austin, good for you, you're not from here!
Railhead BBQ is the best! Learn to appreciate!
- Pros: Brisket
- Cons: None

Order the Ribs!!!
by rynopat at Citysearch
I was a regular of this restaurant for many years, and my recommendation would be the ribs. The brisket can be a dry if not in the chopped form. But seriously, back to the ribs, thats what Railhead is synonymous with. Now that I live in San Antonio I have longing dreams of these succulent morsels :) . The pit has always doled out top notch ribs. Also, get an order of the fries with fried onions (papas con cebollas!), a little different but delicious. All around, a great place to meet and eat.
- Pros: Great Food, Cold Schooners
- Cons: Long Lines
