Railroad is, to some, the legendary barbecue of Fort Worth. It's a no-frills rustic place (in a big parking lot and across from an animal hospital), where you holler your order and in return get a big ol' mess of brisket or ribs. Add on a pile of fries and goblet of frosty beer, which goes down better at an outside table.
