The BBQ was excellent. Cooked to perfection. The service was amazing. And the three flavors of sauce were delicious.

Had this for lunch yesterday- really good food and great prices! I ordered the lunch special - got a pulled pork sandwich with macaroni and cheese. The pork was overflowing out of my sandwich- and HUGE portion! The macaroni and cheese was so creamy and delicious! They had many options for bbq sauce- honey, hot, vinegar, and molasses. Would definitely recommend grabbing a bite here- good portions better price!! read more

They have some of the best bbq in the area, it's a place you might accidentally miss if your driving and not looking for it. The people are nice, and it's a cute and quiet place to relax read more

Got carry out on Super Bowl Sunday. We drove there to pick it up, and it wasn't till we got it home, I figured out they had overcharged us about $8. The food was really good, so I'm sure we'll be going back, but I'll always be watchful when paying. read more

I get takeout from here pretty regularly. I live only 3 miles away. The portions are generous and the prices are great. My order is always correct too. I've been getting quality BBQ from this place for 15 years. It's a family owned joint too. Check it out! read more

We live just around the corner from this place and had never tried it before but let me tell you what, it's absolutely delicious, I know what I can't wait to go back and eat in. read more

The food is really good, exactly what you'd want out of a BBQ joint, plus a really good cobbler desert. I've had the same waitress both times I was in and she was super helpful and amazing. read more

It was my first time trying authentic bbq and this was truly an experience. All the food was delicious, their sweet tea is amazing, truly out of this world. Their jalapeños poppers are incredible and their bbq is the best I've ever had. Definitely recommend this establishment! Very affordable and very good quality food. The ambiance was amazing as well, very good spot for good food. Customer service here is exceptional as well! Overall it was a 10/10!! read more

We've tried them a few times for lunch and never been disappointed. Love their chopped brisket sandwiches! They have a killer lunch special. One of the best deals in town. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. I'm particular about BBQ and I'd recommend this place. read more

Food is good, place is dirty. Plastic Table clothes feel oily and not sanitized. They have been wiped down, but they feel like they've been wiped down with dirty water. Floor is dirty. Chairs are not clean. Mine, I think a child sat in it and ate. It was sticky. Food is good. People are friendly. read more

Yummy BBQ! Had this while I was out visiting my daughter (from California) and I loved it. They have it often. We had fried chicken, brisket and sausage. With the fried okra, mac and cheese and beans!! I'm sure we will have it again on my next visit! Can't wait! read more

Out of the way for most and hidden. Lots of really nice houses around Waterloo and Douglas. This place has bars on windows so makes me sad, to think people would break in or have in past. We were looking for a good bbq place on the way home, in either Perry or Guthrie and found this on Yelp. Went to drive up window and directly ordered with a nice young girl. Food was ready pretty quick. We ordered 2 Ham Sandwiches with Okra and a quart of slaw . Still good when we got home. First let's talk ham..... Ham was good , fried, on a bun. Sad to say 2 of the thinest slices. We felt like it was all bun we were eating. Just one more slice might make a Hugh difference! Now. okra..... Oh so crisp, oh so good! Now Slaw..... Different than our normal sweet slaw. When I looked at it, I thought pure vinager and no way. Then I took a bite and then another. Yes, I decided I liked it! Now on reviews, they say the chicken is the thing to get but I read you still don't get alot. So, if your in area.... Of course Yes eat there. Maybe you can pay extra for enough ham to taste. Definitely convenient for people that live near. Not much on looks but not sure anything else is close by. Food is good and Okra is Great! Can't wait to try Chicken and potato wedges and next time go inside. read more

Good bbq! Had the 3 meat plate with 2 sides and split with my husband. Had sliced brisket, andouille sausage and ribs! All were really good. We had okra, beans and coleslaw for sides. Our daughter had baked potato which was good too. Would come back! read more

It's just ok. They might have spuds or they may not. They might have chicken or they may not. Call before going. The food is just ok. A bit on the greasy side for okra and fries. The turkey slice reminds me of a spam slice. It's so unnatural looking. Like not real meat. Almost looks like a slice from the ham can. Idk. read more

Excellent BBQ!! Friendly service! Rustic ambiance. We go to Railhead whenever we're in Oklahoma.

We had the 8 piece chicken was excellent as was the okra and french fries. We brought home sliced briscuit and hot links. After eating them the next day we loved both of them. The restaurant was clean and well organized . The service was outstanding. A little out of the way but definitely worth the trip. read more

Ribs barely have any meat on them ! They always forgetting sone type of food- too far - can we improve on drive thru take out order? I give 2 stars! read more

Whenever I get hungry on a road trip, I open Yelp, and try to find a local spot, usually in the middle of nowhere or in a small town. This has resulted in some epic dining experiences, but also some huge disappointments. This place managed to cover both ends of this spectrum at once... a rare feat. This is a true hole in the wall. During our visit, it featured locals debating whether gastric issues were the result of food allergies or tick-borne illness. While some parts of our experience were wonderful, other parts left much to be desired: The good: My oldest daughter's burger looked fantastic, and she said it was really good. The potato salad was creamy and terrific, and the green beans were good too. I liked the fact that you had multiple sausage types to choose from, instead of just one. The service was great. Both employees we dealt with were pleasant, and the lady working the register even gave me a free refill for the road. The OK: My sausage was decent. So were my youngest daughter's chicken strips. The fries were acceptable. The train decor doesn't really suit this place, but it was quaint and interesting. The bad: The place was trashed when we came in. I can forgive having dirty dishes piled on some tables, since they apparently had just finished a rush. What I can't forgive is the sticky floors and nasty bathroom, which featured an open trashcan next to the toilet, filled with toilet paper strips covered in unappetizing skidmarks. The ribs were the worst I have ever paid for. They were dry as a bone, tough, and almost completely lacking in seasoning. The Texas toast was also a disappointment... butter both sides, y'all! When we went to the front to pay, I saw a a local news article declaring their fried chicken to be the best the author ever had. I wish I had seen that article before I ordered. I likely would have had a much better experience. I would come here again, but I would definitely steer clear of the BBQ, and just go with a burger or fried chicken, plus some of their side items. I understand that BBQ snobs from Austin aren't this place's target audience, and in the end, this review won't make a difference. Locals seem to love this place, and that is probably all that matters for its future success... read more

Railhead Bbq - My two meat plate - Barbeque Near Me - Guthrie, Oklahoma

Best chicken we have had in OKC so far. Fried mushrooms were a hit for our bunch, everybody loved them. Potato wedges were on point, highly recommended. We liked the okra but it could have used a bit more crispness for our liking but we will definitely order it again. We already had a few chicken spots we thought were great but this is the only five star we found as of today. Looking forward to trying more on the menu but will definitely order chicken again! read more

If you're looking for a greasy run down bbq shack this is your place. The okra is not over done and very good. The meat can be dry at times but their brisket is pretty good and so are their hamburgers. I would recommend to try at least once. We frequent this place because it's close and the food is pretty good. read more

Remember to bring your fly swatter, a dish rag to clean off your table top and gloves because the garbage containers haven't been wiped down in a month of Sundays and unfortunately you might have to touch it when you bus your own table. Try not to look at the upside down big bugs on the windowsill. Enjoy your meal! read more

Well, thanks to the pandemic, we decided to give this place another shot since they're local. We started with a small order of brisket to see if it was better than last time. To our surprise, it was actually really good! I finally knew why everyone liked the place! Feeling confident, the next day we ordered 6lb total, 3 sliced, and 3 chopped. That was a big mistake. The sliced brisket was chewy like bubblegum and barely edible literally because it couldn't be chewed. Most importantly to us however is that chewy brisket means it is SEVERELY undercooked. There were huge plugs of fat with round, marble sized blood clots all throughout it as well, so our 3lb quickly turned into 1.5 after we trimmed it all and cooked it more thoroughly ourselves. The chopped brisket was tough and I'm assuming the day before leftovers, but at least it was cooked. Their sauce is good at least, we definitely needed it to drown their meat in it! I can only assume they're using subpar quality meats and are not closely watching their times and temps with smoking. This place would be so good if they would just get it together! We said it before, but this time we will NOT be back again. read more

Best BBQ around! Staff is always so friendly and orders are ready very quickly. Also be sure to try their fried chicken. It was delicious and well seasoned. read more

The food was very lackluster. The meat tasted boiled instead of smoked. The sides seem made from a box. None of the ingredients seem of any quality. read more

Not very good bbq at all. I may be biased as my husbands bbq is too notch, but this bbq has no flavor, sides are sub par, and the environment and staff are nothing special. Not very welcoming and inviting environment. No music, lighting is lower than I prefer for this type of restaurant. Most likely will not be going back. read more

Great food! 2 of us had pulled pork sandwiches and the other had a rib dinner. Our sandwiches were very good and he stated that the meat just fell off the rib bone . Our server was very friendly and attentive as well. We'll definitely be going back! read more

I love railhead Bbq we eat there all the time because it's across the road from our neighborhood! But we ordered chicken the last visit! We were so disappointed because the chicken was so small not any meat !! It was $22 for 8 pieces. We barely got full what the heck is going on? It looked like a Cornish hen. We were not happy at all. Hope the issue is fixed. read more

I would say the chicken is the best in Oklahoma they are hidden gem well worth the drive

To me this place is off the beaten path but was worth it. I have only been there once and had the whole fried chicken. It was awesome. You had to wait for them to cook it. Well worth the wait. I would rather wait 15 or 20 minutes and get it fresh. Will go back and try more food. read more

So, I have waited a little while to discuss the terrible treatment we as a riding group received at Railhead BBQ. We called 2 weeks before the event and a few days before the event to verify they could handle a large group. We were told positively we can handle the event. We get there and people start pouring in and strangely enough, we were told by the Manager(self appointed)/owner (I doubt that) that we require to much attention... well, a few of our group left after 2 HOURS and no food, so that being said, they were my go to BBQ now they are just a place I used to go... But being all Master Masons, we kept it light, paid our tab, however, the manager continued to talk to us in a hateful tone, I will copy and paste this to their page if they have one to give the real owner and manager a chance to reply... read more

Decent food. Long waits. Priced a little high for what it is. Have gotten orders with musing food

Four stars for the food, fresh, served hot, the sandwiches are delicious, potato wedges , great! Very popular place to grab fried chicken ! It's an older building , picnic benches for tables , but offers good, friendly service. Sandwiches, burgers, BBQ, and fried chi read more

Railhead Bbq - Ham sandwich with wedges - Barbeque Near Me - Guthrie, Oklahoma

We went tonight on recommendations from friends and other reviews. We were the only people in the restaurant! The sides (okra, corn and potato salad) were really good. The sliced brisket tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave having been smoked a few days earlier. The ribs were exactly the same. It would be hard for a pit master to guess how much meat to smoke when you're really slow on patrons. The meat was so incredibly dry and rubbery it was tough to eat. If you go, find out if the meat was smoked the same day! Clearly we missed the sweet spot. read more

Disappointing all the way around. Very mediocre food, inattentive service, and if Covid protocol is important to you, no one wears masks. read more

Excited to try it , new to town this would be our first bbq place. Being in the south style living..

I have never been inside Railhead, but i have been through the drive through. The okra is really good and the BBQ is some of the best I have ever had. If you are in the northeastern side of Edmond and you want some great BBQ come here you won't regret it. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The food was overcooked, staff was extremely rude and if the waitresses shorts were any shorter, shewould choke on them. nobody wants to see that right before eaten dinner. The manager was very unwilling to help . We left without finishing our meals. Yes paid the ticket on way out. I don't recommend this place to any one read more

We had heard good vibes about this place and wanted to try it. We just had an order for 2 takeout dinners. Ordered 2 meats with 2 sides. The brisket and ribs had so much fat on them, barely any meat. Not only did they leave out of our order 2 sides, the cashier overcharged us. My husband pointed that out and the cashier had to re do the check and not too friendly. I would not recommend this place. We will not be going back....Steve's BBQ on I 35 will get our business from now on. read more

We live in east Edmond and we eat Railhead at least once a week. They have such great BBQ for our area. I usually choose the smoked turkey and my husband LOVES their ribs. We've had the sliced brisket and the chopped, and those are great too. They have a dozen different sauces to choose from. Our favorites are the sweet and the hot hot. I also can't say enough good things about their Mac and cheese. WOW, it's so delicious, it must be made in house. The desserts aren't my favorite because I prefer more fruit in my cobbler, but that's not a deal breaker. We will continue to eat at Railhead regularly! We love the food and the staff there! read more

It's what some would describe as "hole in the wall", but to that fashion the food is good. It's is very good barbecue, but very very basic. The restaurant decor is very basic and needs to be updated. You should try this place whether you're on your way to the Lazy E, deciding to see what lies east beyond I-35, or you live "out this way". When my family and I moved from downtown Edmond to Far East Edmond we felt like we were miles from civilization. That was 2003 and the landscape has changed a lot, but Railhead has not. We were pleasantly surprised to learn there was a BBQ restaurant just a mile down the road. The family consisted of 2 picky kids, 1 mother, and 1 devout BBQ lover. Everyone found something they loved: chicken, brisket, ribs, and the bbq sauce. The fried okra should be mentioned also! read more
