At first, we weren't sure what to order since it was our first time, but the owner kindly offered us a rib sample--and wow, that sealed the deal. We ended up ordering the ribs, and they were absolutely phenomenal. We also tried the twice-baked potato, which quickly became my favorite. The potato salad and mac & cheese were both delicious as well--comfort food done right. Everyone was very nice! The atmosphere was great! I still can't get over how incredible those ribs were. Next time we're in San Marcos, there's no question--we'll be stopping by again.

Nice thing about them was they gave us samples when we were curious about an item on their menu. Their brisket was excellent. It was seasoned just right, not too fatty (you can request to get the fat cut off too if you want) and tender. You can order pork ribs by number of ribs instead of weight strictly. Their hatch Mac n cheese was fire. They add jalapenos to it and it was very creamy. Their beans had bits and pieces of brisket in them as well. Overall, a great BBQ place. Was just a bit uncomfortable sitting outside to eat on a toasty summer day.

Their menu is pretty well set up and I went during halftime after smelling the classic greasy aroma of a man's burger nearby. I ordered the loaded pulled pork fries ($10) which came with fries, pulled pork, queso, special seasoning, bbq sauce, pickles, and onions. Jalapeños were optional for 75 cents. The man taking orders was a very friendly family man. His daughter took the card payments and was cute. Service was super fast. Knocking a star for the pork to fry ratio and there lacked a sense of smoke in the meat. Would love to try their burgers!

Pre-freeze afternoon visit, 1.24.26…read more Before we decided to visit, I had called to see of they had smoked chicken. The gentleman on the phone said they did but had run out of some of the other meats and had limited quantities of brisked, chopped brisked and smoked chicken. i told him we'd head right over. We got there and 1. were greeted with firendly happy faces, 2. I noticed a small bar area as soon as you enter and 3. even though most people were freaking out about the freeze later this evening, the place was half full which to me, is an indication that this olace must be pretty damn good if it was literally freezing and people were willing to risk it for the brisket. While we waited in line to place our order, I get a callback from the Bloodworth which i though was odd. I answered and it was the gentleman I had spoken to earlier to let me know they were running out of chicken and wanted to know if we wanted him to hild some for us. Ain't that super nice and fantastic customer service??? I told him were already in line and about to place our order. He came out from the back while he still had me on the phone to greet me and we both laughed about it. Super nice guy and turns out he's also the pitmaster. We placed our order for the smoked chicken and also a to go order of brisket to have the following day. We also ordered their 5-cheese mac and cheese and their potato salad. The staff helping us was super helpful and cheery telling us about their menu and how everything is made onsite. Their chicken was moist and tender with a good smokey flavor and well seasoned with sald and pepper. The wife and i split a chicken quarter each and that was more than enough, especially sonce we were also non-stop digging into the tangy, mustard based potato salad and creamy and heavenly mac and cheese. Neither is to be missed! Also, while I'm not generally a fan of bbq sauces, their Gold and Spicy are freaking out of this world. Kudos to the entire staff as they were all incredibly nice, from the two young ladies behind the counter slicing the meats and packing the sides, to the gentleman behind the bar (thanks for asking of I needed another Lonestar) to the pitmaster checking on his customers, it was just such a great, refreshing experience. Glad to have a fantastic option close by to indulge in great tasting smoked meats!

We heard that Rudy's was a solid spot to check out so thought it could be the perfect spot and it was! Fast casual setup, vast open seating, clean tables, clean restrooms. Easy in, easy out, and solid Texas BBQ vibes. Service was great. Super patient and friendly, greeted us when we came in and they even offered samples of the prime rib and pork loin before we committed to how much we wanted. That alone deserves a shoutout! Here's what we ordered: * Prime Rib - Honestly the star of the show. Great price, beautiful marbling, solid bark, juicy and pink inside. Perfectly seasoned. And that horseradish sauce?? So unique and addicting! I genuinely wanted to take extra home and put it on everything! I might have to get extra next time! * Moist Brisket - Tasted good. Not the best brisket we've ever had in Texas (let's be honest, that's a high bar), but for a quick, no-wait option? It was great! * Pork Loin - A sleeper hit. Juicy, well seasoned, nice smoke flavor, and super lean. This would be AMAZING for weekly meal prep. Not a cut you see everywhere and they did a great job with it! The pickled jalapeños and carrots are BOMB. Spicy with a great snap. Plus you get free pickles, bread, onions, and sauce, always appreciated. We really loved that they offer meats like pork loin and prime rib that you don't always see at BBQ joints, and they execute them really well! We'll absolutely be back for those in particular! Apparently we need to try the banana and chocolate pudding next time as we've heard it's good. Overall a solid stop!

Instead, it caters to ALL of these customers, depending on the day of the week - check out the events calendar on their website. I definitely can see why The Railhouse is popular to so many people because these are just some of the February 2025 events listed on their calendar - * Kyle Karaoke * Ladies Night w/ Lady Versus * Super-bowl Watch Party w/ DJ 2DQ & Guest DJs * Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC Tribute Band * Crawfish Boil hosted by Texas Crab Company * Trivia Tuesdays * Viva La Fiesta * Friday Night Live with Dj 2DQ (my FAVORITE night! ) The Railhouse on a Friday night is where I go when I'm in the mood to "shake what my mama gave me" (IYKYK ;) because you are GUARANTEED to have a FUN time w/ DJ 2DQ, as the dj and him playing all the favorite old school, hip-hop, & R&B music! Because "sharing is definitely caring", here are a few more helpful tidbits & reasons why The Railhouse deserves this 5-star review: --- parking situation: huge private parking lot w/ plenty of parking spaces -- no cover charge on Fridays (not sure about any other days since I've only visited on a Friday) --- reasonably priced alcohol drinks! Who doesn't love getting to sip on a budget?! (Don't forget to show some love to your bartender :) -- very clean restrooms! Very much appreciated! -- plenty of seating both indoors and outside. On chilly nights they do have outdoor heaters on the covered patio See the pics & videos included in this review of our recent visits to The Railhouse on New Year's Eve 12.31.24 & Valentine's Day 2.14.25.
