Railroad Crossing Restaurant

They should be ashamed to call this a BBQ joint. I made three trips before I complete wrote this place off. The brisket is tough and chewy like you wouldnt believe, the ribs are a bit better, but someone needs to tell these folks how to smoke meat. The side orders have the weirdest tastes; I swear there was banana pudding mixed with my potato salad. I ever had my friends try it and the said the same thing. Its a really neat looking place and very clean and well kept, except for the office set up in the middle of the dining room. On the first two trips I notice several people eating steaks, catfish, and chicken fried steak, but didnt think much of it. On my third trip it came to me, that was what everyone was here for it wasnt the BBQ. I overheard two guys talking and they were laughing at me for eating the BBQ. I leaned over and asked about their comments, and they said stay away from the BBQ its like shoe leather, try the catfish, its all you can eat and its great. Well, with me its three strikes and your out, so I wont be going back to try the balance of the menu.

Having been born in Texas and living here my whole life, I know good BBQ. RRXING with their huge portions and great bbq sauce is right at the top of my list. The train car setting is so unique and the friendly service makes this place a MUST visit. However, I've just learned that you better make it a lunch visit because the owner Dee is planning on spending most of his summer evenings fishing.

My husband I have tried lots of BBQ places in the Houston area....... I think this was a cute consept w/ the train theme. The owner Dee Johnson was very nice and humorus w/ my husband and I as we sat there and ate some awsome BBQ. I had the mixed plate of link and moist ribs!, 2 huge sides of the green beans and coleslaw that was great. I loved his BBQ sauce it's made in-house Dee told us. As far as my husband He had a huge sirloin steak w/ a HUGE baked potato made to perfection. The two of us took so much food home we had tommorrow's lunch too........ For the quality, portions, price and service we've given it 5 stars.
Thank you Dee we will be back!

*We're always on the search for a good place to eat...and we found one of the best. Had heard about Railroad Crossing BBQ for years, but never seemed to get to that side of town. Will definately go back because the food was great. ...Atmosphere was fun and the vegies were exceptional. Worth the distance, and I will go back. Highly recomended...
