“ Just found this restaurant and read the reviews decided to try it, we ordered the 5 meat’s combo with 3 sides, a huge sweet ice tea, and beer, add a salad in the bar. The food is big for two as we just like to try it we didn’t finished all. Sausage is juicy, pulled pork is great and the ribs, the chicken wasn’t that juicy and more reddish inside. Mac and cheese is fine, upgrade the other side in the premium sides like sweet potatoes and onions rings which is great. The lady served us was nice I didn’t take her name. Place is not that busy on Saturday around 6:00pm Bathroom was clean and nice Parking we need to park at main road side street as most car in parking is huge. Great giving a try. ”
“ My husband and I shared a one meat platter. The brisket was perfectly done, tasty without sauce. Our sides were pinto beans and fried okra. The beans were good, but even better with bbq sauce added. Fried okra was also good, and served with a dill sauce that improved them even more. Our waitress was excellent, but we didn't get the young woman's name. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and the food came quicker than we expected. And the fact that we were in a repurchased railroad car made it cooler. And check out the bathroom sinks. ”
“ Amazing place!!! The atmosphere and decor are awesome, I ate in the section that is a converted train car. So cool! The food portions are huge, I barely could eat half of it, so I have exciting leftovers. I got the combo with two big ribs and 4 huge slices of brisket. The pinto beans are the best I’ve had and the coleslaw is vinegar based, which I loved. Service was fantastic. The waitress talked me into getting two cookies and even warmed one up for me in the microwave for the road. Even the Texas-shaped sinks in the bathroom were part of the cool experience. I make a road trip through Willcox every month, I think I just found a spot to return to! ”
“ Absolutely amazing! If for any reason you find yourself in Wilcox or even within a hours drive, this place is worth traveling to! The food was fresh and so delicious. The meats were perfect, it's really hard to find good BBQ and this place nailed it. Even the drinks and salad bar were top tier. If you are looking for real smoked meat that tastes amazing this is the place. ”
“ Fun atmosphere, dining in a rail car. Generous portions and the food was great! Brisket and ribs onion rings, fries and sweet potato fries were all sampled. Pinto beans have a nice kick and are tasty. Attentive, friendly servers added to the favorable experience. Definitely would come here again! ”
