Railhead truly impressed me. The menu offered an impressive selection, and I went with the Wagyu NY Strip, accompanied by loaded mashed potatoes, bacon green beans, and a side salad. Everything was delicious. I only wish the steak were a bit thicker, but it was still excellent. Not sure if the staff was unusually busy or if that's typical--they were friendly but a little less attentive than I'd hoped. The atmosphere that night had a lively bar vibe, which was fun, though I'm not sure if that's the usual scene since I wasn't a local. All in all, it was a great evening. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

Looks to be the nicest dining place in Baird. Mixed review. My bacon cheeseburger sliders were quite good I thought. Hawaiian rolls were toasted and good portion of beef and real bacon. Came with fries that were fine. Dining companion had the h other steak and he was not pleased with the entree, the salad or the green beans. Looked okay but indicated taste was not there. CFS was the daily special and maybe should have gotten that. It looked pretty good at the table near us. Place had a good vibe and definitely a place for locals to hang if they are so inclined. Nice full service bar available. Pricing was reasonable and service was friendly. I'd go back to try something different but I may need to have a different dining buddy! read more

Nice restaurant, nice building, has a stage for live music. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Love the crispy fries, the sandwich had a little too much garlic seasoning, but still good. Another guy got taco salad and mentioned that his shell, which was set on a bed of refried beans, was fried to perfection. Another guy got the wagyu sliders and proclaimed them to be absolutely great and full of flavor. Another guy got the grilled chicken plate and was happy with the flavor proclaiming this to be the best food he has had this week so far. And a good time was had by all. read more

Great small town place, with lots of yummy beef options that will satisfy your appetite! My husband and I ordered the sliders that come in a set of three on jalapeño sourdough buns! 10/10 friendly service and prices were perfect. read more

What a great find! We pulled off the highway during a road trip and just stumbled across this place. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and great food. I highly recommend the calf fries! Salty, crispy and cooked perfectly... in fact everyone loved their food. We would absolutely come back to this place. Neat little downtown strip to boot if you need some time to stretch your legs before hitting the road again. read more

Seemed to be the only place I could find to eat while traveling through. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. I had the wagyu burger. Wasn't bad, but wasn't the best I've had. (I don't buy into the wagyu hype). All in all not a bad lunch. I'd most likely stop in again if I'm in town again on business, and would try a different menu item. read more

Great food, good prices, and incredible staff. They were kind, made suggestions and the food was simply wonderful.

Service was great, music was all country, and the nachos are hands down some of the best I've ever had! The fried steak was really good, and the fries are the crunchy yet somehow buttery kind. Food is affordable and good sized. read more

I thought the Railhead was a bar, so I wasn't expecting much. Mike had gone at lunch and said the steak fingers were fabulous! So, it's a restaurant with a bar. That changes things! LOL Being the lucky guys we are, we went on karaoke night!(sarcasm) We were there to try the waygu chicken fried steak so we ordered and kicked back to enjoy the entertainment. When the food arrived, we dug in. This was WAY better than I was expecting. Perfect, real mashed potatoes, not some box imposter. The absolute best jalapeño corn I have ever had. It doesn't take long to tell when a chicken fry is quality meat. This was delicious. My congratulations to HeartBrand Beef in Flatonia, Texas. Your beef is excellent! Railhead has a great menu, so we'll be back to try something else. If your ever in Baird, Texas, population 1,479, stop at the Railhead Tavern, and tell them I sent you! They don't know me, but it sounds good! read more

This is the 3rd time we have been here and it was very good! My wife had the grilled pork chop and it was superb!!!!!! I wish I could cook a pork chop this good. I am sure the brining is part of their secret. Best grilled pork chop I have ever had. I had the all you can eat catfish special. It was thin and crispy. I prefer thicker cut, but I did eat 2 orders. The people working there are super friendly! Try the grilled pork chop and I believe you will love it. read more

What a great experience! Atmosphere is pleasant, nostalgic, very spacious. Food was great. I had the kabobs...good portion, steak was tender a tasty. The wife had water and I felt safer with my tea. Maybe the filtration system was malfunctioning, but the food was fantastic. We plan on returning for the weekend evening festivities. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

Excellent food and friendly service! If you're in Baird, this is a great choice for lunch.

Wow!!!! Can't say enough about the delicious food and friendly wait staff at Railhead Tavern. Jackie had great recommendations and answered all of our questions with wit and charm. My husband had the best burger of his life and I enjoyed the "melt in your mouth " catfish and slaw. The atmosphere is chill vintage and is well worth the easy drive from Abilene - our new," go to " for sure! We also lucked out to visit with the owner, Kent, so it was an added bonus to hear about his dream and commitment to excellence. read more

Service and food were great. It has a great menu and the amount of food on the plate could be shared by two. We will be back!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy but theres a pool table and a stage. The fried pickles were delicious and had fried jalapenos mixed in. They camp with ranch and another sauce. My husband got the wagyu sliders and really enjoyed them. I had a chicken fried steak sandwich. The breading was light and flavorful. It was on a brioche bun and served with fries that were also delicious. Highly recommend read more
