We found a diamond in the rough in this old town that's making a comeback. Go straight to the RailHouse Tavern for some good food or enjoy a drink at the bar that is very welcoming to its patrons. Our meal was delicious. I had an Awesome burger and my husband had a tasty grilled chicken salad. Thank you Sage for your suggestions. It's good to know the tavern gets their beef from a local farmer. read more

Stopped in Cordele and wanted to grab a beer and some food near the Interstate. Wandered to downtown Cordele, which was a bit of a letdown compared to other Georgia small towns. RailHouse was close to the tracks with plenty of parking and a lot of empty stores on the street. The inside was nice but the view to the outside was made possible only through dirty windows. A nice beer selection and I had the RailHoiuse, which was very good. In addition, tried the Fried Green Tomatoes which were hot and full of flavor with a great breading. Wings came out lukewarm, as if they were precooked and waiting but sauce was good (Buffalo),, and also closed o it the meal with a great Fried Chicken Salad. Stacey took good care of us and was very pleasant though out the meal. Pool tables an additional at in the next room, outside seating available. read more

Everything. From the staff to the quality of food. Drinks never got refilled, food took 90 minutes, no condiments or napkins at the table. Total dumpster fire. It was bad and overrated. Every burger at the table was dry and bland. Party of 6 and they added gratuity, as well. Complete joke, one of the worst places I've ever been. I'm from the sticks, and don't expect much. This place came in below "not much." Never again. The best part was leaving. Don't get off at this railways exit, keep on going. F- read more

Heading sour on 75 and decided we needed lunch. Saw this and said let's try it. So glad we did. Service was quick and good was excellent! I had an all the way burger that was juicy without being greasy. The onion rings were so good. The person taking care of us was very attentive. While we were there heard the train go by. Definitely will keep this place as my go to when traveling through Cordele. Nice old town tavern feel. Very clean. If I wasn't driving I would have had a beer. read more

RailHouse Tavern - All the way burger - Burgers Near Me - Cordele, Georgia

Not worth the 10 minutes off 75. Stopped while passing through to try something different. Young lady that was serving us was rude and inattentive stating "no, I didn't, I am busy and there are only two people on the floor" when my niece mentioned it appeared she forgot the coke. This was just one instance. At this time there was two other tables. Food was sub par at best and it took so long we almost left. Don't waste your time or money! While I understand a small town - do better! read more

We saw their sign on the interstate, and that they were pet friendly, so since our dog was with us, it sounded like the perfect spot to try! It's a little ways off the interstate but worth the 7-8 minute drive. Our waiter was Super nice, and the food was great! My husband and I both had a grilled chicken salad, and it was full of chicken and bacon, and the onion rings were actually homemade! Highly recommend! read more

Terrible service. Waited almost an hour for two taco dishes and an order of tater tots. Waitress never once returned to the table to check on us or refill drinks. Asked the server who finally brought the food for ranch dressing, never got it. Had to literally get up and go find the waitress to get the check. Kind of sad too because the foods pretty good. read more

Interesting place, has potential especially with craft beers. Service was spotty, although it was lunch time on a Wednesday, translated not very busy. Wife ordered grilled chicken salad, she was pleased. I ordered Hamburger- ordered medium- it was more like medium-well. , side was tortillas chips with queso . Queso was in very small plastic cup that had film on top. Chips were mediocre. We have been wanting to try since we saw billboard on interstate. It's in an area that seems ok during the day, but probably sketchy after dark. May try again, but won't get their burgers. read more

Man. I was really hoping that the food would be as good as the beer, even if not really cold the Zombie beer was great. Food was absolutely horrible and it's hard for me to get to that point. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and should have listened to my waitresses face. But man, how bad can they be... wow, This bad. I asked her for recommendations on dinner and she told me that the Diablo Burger was great. To be fair the flavor was amazing. But I tried multiple times to chew and swallow the burger and it was just awful. They cooked every bit of juice and hope out of it. I don't believe in leaving a bad review without addressing it at the moment so I did. Her response was "ahhh man, when our kitchen manager is here they aren't that bad, I'll tell them to stop cooking them so bad" read more

Well, we were hopeful - several reviews said that it was great; that wasn't our take. Kinda sluggish service; tried a mimosa flight that was ok, the Bloody Mary was good. I had a Philly Steak sandwich-again, ok. The onion rings were very greasy. Wayne had a burger - overdone and with grease tater tots. Not sure we would go back... read more

Do yourself a favor and don't visit. Or visit and be disappointed. This place needs Jon Taffer or Gordon Ramsey to save. Waitress attitude/personality was horrible. Didn't come to check on us once. It feels like she hates her job. The young lady with pink hair. Maybe she was just having a bad day. We all do. I get it. But man... felt sorry for her. The food was subpar. My chicken wings were spoiled. I don't know. Tasted bad. Smelled rotten. At least she didn't charge us for them. I hate leaving reviews, but man it was rough. On the plus side my wife was happy with her lemon pepper chicken, so maybe it's a hit or miss thing. So much potential here too. We won't be back though. read more

Food was very good. We were on our way from Florida to Tennessee and initially were going to another restaurant when we saw a billboard for this place. Always desire to support a local place so we popped in. Off the beaten path but well worth it! read more

We stopped in to Railhouse Tavern today passing through Cordele, GA. The food was very good. I had the Ultimate Cheese burger that came with cheddar, Swiss and beer cheese with a side of homemade onion rings. My husband got wings in Cajun seasoning and I must say these were some of the best wings I've had. It seems they may have been fried in an air fryer oven. The skin was super crispy and flavorful. Christine was our bartender/server and was super attentive and sweet. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Traveling thru cordele on our way to fla. Hubby got a railhouse burger which he said was OK. I got the cheese steak melt. One of the worse sandwiches I've ever had. The meat was so dry it was like eating paper with no peppers and onions and very little cheese. Very disappointing read more

I had high hopes. Disappointed with the portion size. The reviews are misleading. Nice ambiance but reconsider your decision. read more

Our server Rachel was very attentive, checked on us several times. The food was hot, delicious and delivered quickly. All in all very pleasant dinner. I hope my 5 star rating helps tip the scale in the positive for this cozy place. read more

RailHouse Tavern is a cool enough place in Cordele, Georgia. The service was friendly enough and the menu is your usual bar type food (also known as pub grub). The ambiance here is cool enough and it offers a nice enough oasis in Cordele, Georgia. If you are in the Cordele, Georgia area, I would definitely recommend the RailHouse Tavern. read more

A hidden gem in a very quiet and somewhat abandoned "downtown " in this little Georgia enclave serving sandwiches salads and lots of microbrews. To be honest, after driving by so many boarded up and closed storefronts we almost didn't go inside, but we were glad we did as the service was friendly, the atmosphere in the old building inviting and food was pretty good too. My burger was good (although a bit well done) and the shrimp poor boy sandwich was a highlight. read more

We walked in just after 1:15 on a Monday and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. It wasn't super busy so we had a good selection of tables. Note: They also have some comfy seating (sofa and chairs). Our server came right over and took our drink order. We all ordered tea. It was fresh brewed. The decor was a mix of rustic and eclectic. My husband and I split the Philly Cheesesteak and onion rings. Our granddaughter ordered the Brunch burger minus the syrup. She also asked for a well done egg, which they obliged. Our meals came out fresh and hot in just a short while. Our server, Brittany, was attentive and very nice. We all loved our meals! We don't live in Cordele but if we're in the area again we will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I recently visited RailHouse Tavern and chose to sit at the bar, where surprisingly, guests are assigned a dedicated server instead of a dedicated bartender. It was a slow night, with only a few other guests present. Our server seemed a bit uncertain at times, leading us to wonder if she might have been new. We began by ordering drinks. Our server had to consult with her colleagues to answer our questions--understandable. We also ordered the loaded nachos, which were okay--not great, but okay. They were particularly heavy on the BBQ sauce. After finishing the nachos, our server asked if we were ready for the check. We said no and ordered wings--she ran to get her notepad--, and we asked for them extra crispy. Another server reminded her to ask if we preferred blue cheese or ranch. The wings arrived hot and flavorful, though not as crispy as we'd requested and a bit too saucy for our taste. Additionally, no celery came with the blue cheese. When I asked about it, our server went to check but didn't return for a long while. When she did, she asked if we were ready for our check. I asked if she learned about the celery and she said, "Oh, we don't have any." She left. We waited a good ten more minutes, and, after not being able to get her attention, asked another server to let her know we'd like to order a second round of drinks. She came over, and we ordered two drinks and two waters. Another server brought the drinks, but the waters were missing. Our server checked in later, asking if we were ready for the check. I said, "Sure, can we have waters too please?" She said sorry, and then brought one water, with no check. We were confused. She returned and asked again if we wanted the check, and we said yes, please. When she brought the check, she eagerly stood over our area waiting for us to give it back. It was the first time I saw her eager, but that's not when one should be hovering....sigh. Anyway, while the food was decent, the service left much to be desired. The other servers seemed attentive, but we were disappointed that ours didn't seem to be listening or following up well. read more

Great atmosphere with nice people and good service. We had honey bbq wings and they were fantastic!

This place has unfortunately gone down hill. The quality of the food has declined. The building itself needs some maintenance inside the restaurant. Tables and menus are sticky. Staff appearance and attitude doesn't seem to be important. The TV's have weird music playing. One positive is the bbq nachos. They are not good enough to get me back in the door anytime soon. read more

The reviews for this place are definitely misleading. Walked into the restaurant with a 4 top. We were seated and given a server. She took our drink order with no issue. When she brought our drinks we put in our order. One app and four entrees. After sitting for 45 minutes waiting on our fried pickle app, we noticed no food was coming out of the kitchen. We ended up sitting for a legitimate two hours; we arrived at 7:45. At 9:45 we asked our server how much longer on our meals and she informed us it would be another 20-30 minutes, so we decided to leave. Our server did her best but unfortunately the kitchen just couldn't get food out. When I tell you NO ONE in the entire dining room we getting their food, that's no exaggeration. There was clearly no manager on duty at all, much less a staff member going to the tables to so much as apologize. There is also only one unisex bathroom and it was dirty and smelled like urine. Super disappointing experience. read more

The service was great, Christine was our server and she was so friendly. The buffalo chicken dip was delicious!

Flavorless burger other guy had flavorless chicken sandwich from reading the other reviews looks like this place has a problem they have yet to fix I would recommend the chefs make food and feed them to staff and see what they think or the chefs eat there own food read more

Keto option not far off of I-75! This was a nice little place in downtown Cordele that allowed me to stick to my Keto diet. I had the 12oz ribeye that comes topped with garlic butter and two sides. I loved that housemade pork skins are offered as a side. I had those and also the salad. read more

Great pit stop on our way north. The downtown is old and mostly vacant. Once we entered the tavern there was plenty of life. Smiles from the patrons and staff. There was a baseball game on and they had a ton of beer selections. We were 5 people and they had a few good options for everyone. I got the Cheesesteak- tender meat and plenty of flavor. We also ordered the wings. The mango habanero flavor was awesome! My son got the railway burger. He loved it. Worth a stop for some good food. read more

While traveling, I asked Siri for restaurant recommendations near our next Tesla charging station, and it suggested Railhouse Tavern in Cordele, GA. At first glance, I wasn't too confident about the place, but appearances can be deceiving. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautifully renovated interior. The hardwood floors were refinished, and the bar had an inviting atmosphere. The staff greeted us with warmth and professionalism, which added to the overall experience. Now, onto the main reason for our visit: the food. My wife ordered the chicken, and I opted for a cheeseburger. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! If we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely make a point to revisit this charming restaurant RC & a Moon Pie read more

We had a party of six. We were seated as soon as we walked in around 5:30 on Friday evening. The front of the house was packed so they sat us in the back bar area. Not my favorite place but the company was good. It was the first time for all of us. We ordered pretzel bites and cheese curds for our apps. They came out quickly and were good as far as apps go. For my meal I ordered the maple bacon chicken sandwich with tater tots, loved it!!! My husband got the ribeye with homemade pigskins. The steak was so tender and cooked perfectly. Our friends got the steak as well with asparagus. He liked it. Another got a spring salad with pecans and cranberries, also good. And two got burgers! All was delicious. The whole menu sounded appetizing and we can't wait to go back. read more

Visiting Lake Blackshear, looking for a place to eat, we found RailHouse Tavern. It was so good, We ordered the fried pickle burger, which my son said was amazing my husband and I had a salad one with fried chicken and the other with grilled chicken, it was excellent. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Onion (OMG) Rings, best ever! Highly recommend this place. The only lil complaint was it was warm in restaurant at 4pm. read more

server was horrible... Rang up my drink as a high-end vodka when I asked for well... the whole place has a sketchy feel... way too expensive for the ridiculously small portions read more

Had high hopes for this place on our way to FL. Waitress seems new and the food was mediocre, hamburger was OVER cooked.

Loved lunch and food was delicious. Staff was very kind as I was alone and in my 70's. They placed me in a comfortable table and checked on me several times. Enjoyed their lively conversations and restaurant was comfortable and very clean. read more

Service was good. Fire the cook. Both burgers tasted like they were boiled early in the day and reheated. Got your railhouse burger. 3 tiny pieces of bacon..tiny meaning less than a thumbnail size. Where was the cheese? Over, over cooked. Beer, excellent. Doesn't deserve more than a one as the food is misleading on the menu and what you receive is less than below average. read more

We were passing through on a road trip. Good ratings got us to drive by. Clean and looked good despite being in an old industrial area. Lots of free street parking. Ordered wings, tenders, and lots of sides. Everything was solid. Our server was sweet. But she didn't seem to know her menu. Very good. As of early February 2025, only one restroom. And it's a single. read more

Service was good. Philly Cheesesteak was overpriced for the tiny amount of meat and small hoagie it was in. Chicken Salad was tiny as well. Disappointing. Probably won't return. Waste of money. read more
