I read the bad reviews by others and I just can't figure out what they are talking about. I must be on another planet or an alternate universe. My family with my brother and his wife stopped off here and we all liked it. Pricing was reasonable and the food was fresh, tender and quite tasty. Their sauce is very... More

When an average review brings up your overall rating, that definitely says there is some work to be done by Railroad BBQ. I ordered a brisket sandwich that tasted ok. The service was ok. The price was ok. I enjoyed my lunch with a friend. Not sure how soon I will go back, but I would go back.

Been here 3 times, hoping that it was just a bad day, but consistency would seem to indicate otherwise. The brisket was always tough and dry on once occasion and even their excellent sauce couldn't fix dry. The ribs have never been tender; done, yes, but finished completely, no. As a result, I don't recommend the place. I go either... More
