railhead smokehouse

this place ripped me off. when there in july from out of town and wanted to buy a railhead t-shirt. they where out of the size and color i wanted. the ladies that help me and looked for my size and color and they didn't have it no problem i was told just write down your name and address with my phone number and they would mail me my shirt at no extra cost if i paid for it. great deal right! i never got my shirt and after two months i called them and they said they stilled had my info and my shirt is coming. called them again with no luck this time. well its been four months and no shirt. be careful with these people there shady.

very nice people serving great barbecue in a pristine dining room with a texas roadhouse setting. the brisket is tenderand and smoked perfectly. sausage is lean and very good too! beans are a ranch style type with good flavor. potato salad is a mustard base... a little dry but good flavor. price is reasonable. enjoy!

loved, loved, loved the ribs!!! they had a true smokey, bbq flavor. the frys were made from fresh potatoes and not frozen. will be eating there again next time i'm in the area.

worst bbq ever. i tasted dog food better than this bbq. you may be well know in texas but i will not spend another dime in this place. service sucked. seemed like all wanted to take a break than wait on me. maybe i would have been better off walking out of this dive. ribs like shoe leather and brisket even tougher. no amount of sauce would make them more tender. do not waste your money on this place.

go for the meat, not much else. i've been here a few times and the brisket is delicious--if you like texas style bbq. those new to texas need to understand that bbq is not the stuff you find in tennessee, the carolinas, or most any place else. the emphasis is on a thin brothy sauce.

as far as texas bbq goes this is a landmark, and definitely worth a visit for the meats. personally, and i know this is blasphemy, texas-style bbq is my least favorite style. still, this is good and i would go there again.

they do seem to pay most attention to the bbq and the sides are average. good, but nothing to rave about.

the long-standing tradition is to serve bbq with plain white bread--a substance i personally despise. the bbq is better off without it, but i'm likely quite alone in this assessment.

bottom line: if you are in ft. worth and want good texas bbq at a great price, this is your place.

good ribs. mediocre sauce. they don't give much sauce either. the huge disappointment was the brisket yesterday. in 51 years, i've never had any that dry. i would have thrown it out if i were them.

bunch of old reviews. i went there 04/13 & 03/13 and sadly , railhead
has taken a real nose dive.it use to be a very good bbq resturaunt but no longer.

if you want a great fort worth experience, add railhead to your list.

best bar b q in north central texas! brisket was tender, juicy & flavorful!! sauce is great... & the fries! real potatoes & cooked to perfection. husband rated the pork ribs a "9"...never having had a "10" ;-)
first visit, but certainly not the last!!

making the lone star proud. if you live in, travel to, pass through or fly over fly over fort worth and don’t stop at railhead you may as well have never lived. this is a staple of the great city and represents the qualities of what is near a dear. the service and atmosphere are fantastic. this is a place that you can bring the whole family and enjoy your time and just relax over a great meal. the quality of the brisket, links and chicken is top notch. the portions are what you would expect from a texas style smokehouse and the beer… well let’s just say that it’s the coldest thing next to what the titanic encountered. this place can get packed out but it is worth the wait. two notes: they offer veterans a discount (personally i say thank you) and they are closed on sunday (for some reason i always want railhead on sunday, blah!).

spend the afternoon....... this place has always been a favorite and still is. good (but not great) food and ice cold beer, nothing to complain about here. nice place to spend an afternoon; great atmosphere inside and on outside patio, too.

chopped beef and sauce was very good, very juicy. potato salad and cole slaw were insipid and brought the score down. i'd give the whole experience a "c." bbq is the highlight.

great beer!! bbq ribs were the best! atmosphere was fun, staff friendly and helpful if you don't know what you want to eat.

go for the beer!. cold beer in frozen mugs! skip the bbq unless you're there for beer.

raidhead. such good bologna sandwiches!
