Railroad BBQ

First time going to Railroad BBQ. The second my family walked in I noticed every wall and table was covered with historical pictures. I could have stayed all day looking at them all. The food was fantastic and service was great. The young man that waited on us pointed out the best options for first timers. We had pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. With a choice of three sauces, of course we tried them all. They were excellent!! For our sides we had collards and kale, potato wedges, mac-n-cheese, along with choice of Texas toast or cornbread. We had the cornbread; it was amazing. For those who don't like sugar in their cornbread, take the Texas toast, but you will certainly miss out on a treat. We tried the banana pudding for dessert, it was good, but I'm a little more partial to mine. ???? Thankfully it wasn't "the old-time meringue topped, baked in oven to brown the meringue" kind. lol I can truthfully tell you this was an enjoyable meal and we look forward to going back.

My son and I are in Columbia for a weekend trail racing event. While here, we decided to find a good place to eat. It was a toss up between Railroad BBQ and a gourmet hamburger place. After some discussion we decided to go to Railroad BBQ, and we're glad we made that choice! When in an unfamiliar town looking for a good place to eat, I always hope for the best but am often disappointed with over-hyped reviews for an underwhelming place. This was not the case with Railroad BBQ. It far exceeded our expectations. We've eaten at several barbecue places in the state and have our favorites, but Railroad BBQ surpassed them all. First, let's talk about the place. Railroad BBQ is located next to an actual working railroad track. The naming of the place is genius. If you can remember the barbecue place next to a railroad track, you will remember the name. The building looks as if it used to be a gas station in days gone by. But whatever it used to be, it's now a beautiful barbecue restaurant tha

Food was delicious. Brisket falls apart tender and pork was moist. Excellent flavor, collards and max and cheese were great! Was with a friend from Texas and she thought the brisket was even better than the ones she’s had back home!
