    Three meat plate plus an extra side
    Kseniya K.

    Your typical Texan fast casual bbq joint. Nothing extraordinary to brag about, but a decent enough meal if you're starving. Prices and menu options are on par with all the other bbq places all over Texas, no surprises or standouts here. The two meat and Three meat plates are not a lot of food. Very little, in fact, comparatively to other such businesses. I was hungry an hour later. Meats were bland and mediocre. Pork loin was the better option, followed by ribs, followed by brisket. Sides were okay--it's difficult to screw up coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Creamed corn tasted like dessert--so sweet, I was wondering how much sugar was dumped into that. Staff are accommodating and service is quick. Not a place I'd return to. There are tons of similar restaurants that offer better food.

    Got 1 lbs of brisket, 1/2 lbs of turkey and 1/2 lbs of sausage. The brisket and turkey were very good, smoky and flavorful. The sausage I did not really like. The skin was very tough and the sausage had just a peppery flavor. The service was fast and staff was friendly and courteous and smiling when interacting with us. Our three meats and a brisket baked potato came to just under $60 with no drinks or sides. Will have to try again in the near future and get a combo plate to try some sides.

    Sad brisket and egg taco
    Reuben M.

    Came here this morning to get breakfast tacos for the fam. I was really let down. The tortillas were cold, and the brisket and egg tacos were super sad. I can see why this place is not that busy on a Saturday morning. They really should have as many customers or more than Shipleys next door. The refried beans and cheese tacos were soaked in straight cooking grease. The only reason they get a one star today is their coffee is average and hot. The employees were not friendly at all. I'll continue to make my own breakfast.

    Amazed to have BBQ this tasty in Kyle!! I ordered a 3 meat plate that came with two sides: lean brisket, jalapeño sausage, pork ribs, potato salad and pinto beans and HOLY MOLLY WAS IT GOOD!! I tried both the Smokey MO's TX BBQ Original and Spicy sauce and I'm telling you what - perfection! The customer service was pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is clean and offers outside patio seating! I can't believe I hadn't been here before! 3 Meat Plate

    Breakfast Taco with bacon and egg
    Toni S.

    Update-still love the breakfast but not the best bbq. The service was great. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. The brisket & chopped bbq was good. The pork ribs tasted old and stale. I don't think I will try those again. The slaw and green beans were ok as well. I will stick with the breakfast or stick with the brisket.

    Smokey Mo's is great, reasonably priced bbq. What makes it even better is that it's in the neighborhood, close to home so there's no need to fight traffic driving into town for a great meal. The dining room is fresh and comfortable for dining in. Meat is perfectly done and portions are sizable. And there are several options for sides. The green beans, potato salad, Mac-n-cheese are all great!

    I would say Smokey Mo's BBQ is just alright. The concept is super similar to Rudy's (ie decent chain barbecue) but I wasn't wowed by it. I had a 2 meat plate with brisket and sausage, green beans and pinto beans. Wouldn't order the green beans again, but the pinto beans and meat were decent. The service was as good as you'd expect for counter service and the new shop was pretty nice (& clean).

    Tried this place recently and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly customer service, and the big Mo sandwich with chopped brisket and pork loin was delicious. The barbecue sauce had a nice little kick to it as well and the side of beans were super tasty. The mac & cheese and potato salad were okay but I have been thinking about that sandwich since I had it and have plans to go back again soon.

    Love the brisket here. It ghastly a dry rub that's a little spicy. Just gives it a well needed kick.

    It was ok. Staff was amazing. Cute place but the ribs and brisket had no smoke flavor. Sauces were really yummy.

    Overall good bbq but the down side is that I found a hair in my potato salad. Good customer service and cleanliness.

Nice thing about them was they gave us samples when we were curious about an item on their menu. Their brisket was excellent. It was seasoned just right, not too fatty (you can request to get the fat cut off too if you want) and tender. You can order pork ribs by number of ribs instead of weight strictly. Their hatch Mac n cheese was fire. They add jalapenos to it and it was very creamy. Their beans had bits and pieces of brisket in them as well. Overall, a great BBQ place. Was just a bit uncomfortable sitting outside to eat on a toasty summer day.

I guess the photos on google/yelp showing an indoor location are from their previous spot, though they did say they will be going back to brick and mortar spot at some point. Happily it wasn't too steamy outside so we decided to stay though the fact that there are no bathrooms at all was a definite negative (two of our party had to go to the pizza place next door and buy something to use their restrooms!). That being said the staff was very friendly and even offered us a free sample of the turkey while we were deciding which honestly is what convinced us to stay! It was super moist and flavorful. I ordered a half pound of pork ribs, ended up with .6lb which was only two ribs- but they were big and ended up being a surprising amount of meat. Ribs were tender but not falling off the bone, no complaint there I don't want the meat to be mushy; flavor was good and sauce was decent though nothing special. The green chili Mac was pretty tasty though extremely creamy, I'm not exactly complaining lol but I like more cheese heavy. The potato salad was solid and they gave us plenty of onions and pickles. Other members of our party approved of the chicken, brisket, and jalapeño cheese sausage. I didn't hear anyone say it was the best bbq they'd ever tasted but it was solid, flavorful, and satisfying fare. I would return especially to a brick and mortar- Texas summers are just too hot to eat heavy food outside! Parking seemed limited but we went at 3pm on a Wednesday so it wasn't an issue.

Instead, it caters to ALL of these customers, depending on the day of the week - check out the events calendar on their website. I definitely can see why The Railhouse is popular to so many people because these are just some of the February 2025 events listed on their calendar - * Kyle Karaoke * Ladies Night w/ Lady Versus * Super-bowl Watch Party w/ DJ 2DQ & Guest DJs * Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC Tribute Band * Crawfish Boil hosted by Texas Crab Company * Trivia Tuesdays * Viva La Fiesta * Friday Night Live with Dj 2DQ (my FAVORITE night! ) The Railhouse on a Friday night is where I go when I'm in the mood to "shake what my mama gave me" (IYKYK ;) because you are GUARANTEED to have a FUN time w/ DJ 2DQ, as the dj and him playing all the favorite old school, hip-hop, & R&B music! Because "sharing is definitely caring", here are a few more helpful tidbits & reasons why The Railhouse deserves this 5-star review: --- parking situation: huge private parking lot w/ plenty of parking spaces -- no cover charge on Fridays (not sure about any other days since I've only visited on a Friday) --- reasonably priced alcohol drinks! Who doesn't love getting to sip on a budget?! (Don't forget to show some love to your bartender :) -- very clean restrooms! Very much appreciated! -- plenty of seating both indoors and outside. On chilly nights they do have outdoor heaters on the covered patio See the pics & videos included in this review of our recent visits to The Railhouse on New Year's Eve 12.31.24 & Valentine's Day 2.14.25.
