Well, just let me get the good thoughts out first. I went there Saturday, in the afternoon thru the drive thru. The line was fairly long, but we moved alone pretty good. It wàs worth the wait, because the slides beef was awesome, jucy, tender, great. All condiments good. But, I went to get the b chickenvfor my wife. I was dry, hard as a rock, and if I soaked in that great barbaqe sauce for several hours which I did, I could still see she was unhappy. 😾 So what can I say, but Saturday at the House. Just so you know.

In order to give a proper review, I would have to say that this is the essence of Texas Barbecue and the best barbecue joint in Fort Worth. I've been going here for decades and received a generous discount when I visited home from Active Duty. Thank you Railhead Fort Worth! (Coldest beer in town = True)

I celebrated my graduation this evening in this great place. Well we enjoyed a marvelous evening and the venue was unquestionably the reason for that outstanding event. The crew contributed in a splendid way, the cuisine was tasty and my guests were so thrilled. We shall absolutely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Simply THE BEST Brisket EVER!!! Sandwich hasnÒ€ℒt changed since they had the drive thru beer cruise 30+ years ago. I was truly one of the first fans. Missed it living in Pittsburgh!!!

Food is not bad. Prices are comparable. Always crowded. In door and out door seating. Feels like a cafeteria. Nice staff.

Very good brisket. Wanted to try the ribs but they were out. It was packed at 8 30 on a Thursday night.

Best BBQ in town. No reservations but if you can grab tables for a big group it's great. Also, best happy hour for beer drinkers

World's greatest ribs! Outstanding chopped beef sandwiches, fresh cut fries with grilled onions, and frosty schooners with ice cold beer all make this my family's favorite barbeque joint.

Not as good as it once was. Wish it had a stronger smoked flavor. Brisket was about average. Ribs were very good though. They don't have the typical cowboy pinto beans I expect at a good Texas BBQ...that subtracted some points for me. Coleslaw and potato salad we're just average. The food is good, but not knock-your-socks off great. For being called a smokehouse, I expected authentic flavorful smoked meat...this fell short.

Cold beer, good food, felt like I was being ignored for the regulars as I was sitting at the bar though. Only reason for four stars instead of five.

The Railhead is a staple for good BBQ brisket. It is Affordable and if you're with more than a couple of people order the tray of fries instead of a single order. Free refills on soft drinks it's a great place to be

Great BBQ. One of the best around. This place is OLD SCHOOL COWBOY COOL! Great military discount. My favorite is the CHILI they serve during the non summer months. You wont find any hipsters at this place. Great mix of cowboy hats..college students..military usally at this place.

We are down on a work job from Wisconsin. If you want a place to eat great smoked meat, this is it. We've visted here 2 times already this trip and will again at least one more time. The beef brisket is great, and the ribs are amazing. Get the 2 meat dinner or the sandwiches when you come here. Great friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, and very relaxing environment.

Been here once, the brisket sandwich was okay. Gonna come back for a proper dinner and try more meats without bread. Your coleslaw was not amazing. If you potatoe salad follows suit, next visit might be my last.

Very good experience. Being from Austin and having a high bar for barbeque, itÒ€ℒs hard to earn 5 stars from me, but I have no complaints! All around good food, service, and atmosphere.

I love good smoked brisket. This place does not have good brisket. The outside of it looks like Texas brisket but the inside taste like oven roasted roast beef - no smoke flavor. The rest of the food is good and the atmosphere is great.

Great BBQ and a wonderful down home and friendly atmosphere! Large portions for a very reasonable price. The brisket was very moist and tender, just as good Texas Brisket should be! The sausage and sides were all great and finished off an excellent meal. I will definitely be back, this is a great, local BBQ joint! Don't forget to grab a souvenir cup too!

Pretty good. The jalapeno cheddar sausage is really good but very spicy and the brisket was a little dry.

First time coming here and love the food. I got the brisket sandwich w/fries and my husband got the rib plate meat was so tender falling off the bone, they give u alot of fresh cut fries I couldn't even finish them. Unlimited refills on drinks fast service and they have a drive thru!!🀩 Will definitely be back.

The food was great but the staff was very rude. I felt as we where bothering then by being there. In the past the where friendly and helpful but not today. Maybe too hung over from last night Supper Bowl Game.

Absolutely delicious Texas BBQ. Everything was on point. Tried a few ribs from another plate and was about slapped out of my chair from the deliciousness. Best ribs I have ever had hands down.

Best ribs in Fort Worth. The brisket is very good, as well. Sausage, oh the sausage! If there's a line, don't worry about. They move things along quickly. Eat at Railhead. There's no other conclusion.

Ordered a sandwich plate which is shown coming with 2 sides. I orded fries and beans. Was charged extra for the beans. I heard later that fries is considered 2 sides. Was not told that at checkout. To me 2 sides is what it says. Barbecue was not that goog.

The sliced beef sandwich tasted good but it seemed like some of the meat was undercooked. Also, I went to the drive thru because I was pressed for time. Bad move. I spent 10 min sitting in the drive through and that was AFTER my order was in.

Great food, great prices and fast service made this a good meal. I had ribs they were good with sauce on the side...if they aren't going to chat the sauce on the ribs then I prefer them with sause on the side. I will definitely be going to this place again.

I've been coming here since they were in a red barn about a mile west of their current location. Their food is so memorable. The ribs and chopped beef are their best items.

Questions & Answers

Absolutely

No

Not sure I understand the question...

I do not know the answer to that. Call and ask.

I'm pretty sure they are pork ribs but they are absolutely to die for the best ribs I've ever had!!!

Call them.

I just called Railhead and they said they do not take reservations. They will cater though. The gentleman did say that a person could get there early and snag a group of tables. Hope that helps...
