Stopped in while traveling through the area and this place is amazing. I had the five wings dry and the flavor was amazing. My husband got the pulled pork and chicken and the smoke on both was great. I think the highlight was the greens. I'm not typically a fan, but the flavor was phenomenal. I wish I could pick this whole restaurant up and take it home with me.

Railroad BBQ absolutely delivered! The brisket was awesome—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The mac & cheese was rich and delicious, the perfect comfort-food side. On top of that, the service was truly top-notch: friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

If you’re downtown Columbia, SC, this place is a must-go. I’ll definitely be back! 🔥🍖
