What would you say if I told you there was a charming Southern restaurant right in the middle of the biggest city in Texas? What about if I said it’s inside an old-fashioned train car? Both of those statements are entirely true. Houston’s Railroad Crossing Barbecue has mastered the balancing act of serving delicious food and keeping up a unique atmosphere, and it’s definitely a must-add to your restaurant bucket list. If you like vintage train cars and finger-lickin’ good barbecue, this is the place for you.
