Off the Rails Barbeque and Drafthouse - Verona, Pennsylvania

Wifey wanted bbq for dinner and happened to come across this place.
Walked in and placed our order at the counter. Gave us a pager for when our food was ready. Haven’t been here before so we decided to get 1/2 of brisket, pulled pork, and chopped chicken. Sides were Mac and cheese and cornbread. Now as a New Yorker, when I usually order half a pound of bbq it’s usually a tiny portion. Not here! Was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. Food did not disappoint. Everything was tasty. What topped it off was the Carolina gold sauce. Not sure what was in it but it sure tasted great. Mac and cheese had lil too much black pepper but wifey loved corn bread.
Live music was playing while we ate. A lil too loud for my comfort but that was cool.
After else ate, went outside to enjoy the firepit and play cornhole for a lil bit.

Absolutely obsessed.  Homemade, house-smoked barbeque.   The owners and staff are extremely sweet and friendly.  They do have indoor and outdoor seating which is super nice in the warmer months.  They do close in the one area for additional seating and have heaters so it’s not too cold! The flavor, spices and way the items were prepared with absolutely delicious.  The meat melts right in your mouth.  Tried the wings- three jumbo smoked whole wings. They are slow cooked & flash fried. The pulled pork sandwich was incredible- slow smoked pork, tossed in a house Carolina cider mop piled on top of a Breadworks bun and Pittsburgh pickles. The brisket is a slow smoked Texas style brisket and we tried that on top of the creamy Mac and cheese. WOW- the brisket was so tender. And of course had to try their corn bread. Which came hot and totally hit the spot.

We stoped just to eat in the way home, but it was a nice surprise to find this restaurant with or like bar style. A nice band was playin music. Food was good, I just didn’t like the coleslaw salad. (Pretty different from Michigan coleslaw style). Other wise I’ll put 5 stars in my review.
Nice ambience and good location.
Friendly environment, good drinks,
We find Koñsch 🍺 from Colon. For those who like German bear.

Great place for BBQ, drinks, social interactions, and live music. IMO their food is sometimes on the saltier side, but your mileage may vary. Want to rip into some house smoked chicken legs? A heaping tray of the magical fruit that makes you toot? Or how about some Moo Moo Mac Daddy and some crunchy slaw? It’s all good. They have an above average (but small-ish) craft beer selection if you’re a drinker. They even had Heady Topper and Focal Banger on a few occasions. Their social media outlets are a good place to stay updated on events and live entertainment. If you’re a local, live in the surrounding area, or just passing through, I highly recommend planning a visit. Stretchy pants are optional.

I had ordered the smoked half chicken and mac n cheese. My wife ordered the brisket grilled cheese.

My wife’s grilled cheese and fries were exceptional. Plenty of brisket in the sandwich and the fries were VERY tasty. The fries were dusted with a BBQ seasoning and I felt that made them stand out.

My smoked chicken was pretty good. The breast meat was a very little bit dry, but overall very tasty. The Mac n cheese was definitely different. Tasty and different. Very creamy and a slight smoky flavor.

We made about an hour long trip to come here before heading to the Oakmont Bakery and it was certainly worth the trip.

Discovered this locally owened business and highly recommend! Ordered beef brisket and pulled pork; there were two sauce choice, BBQ and mustard, recommend the mustard. Both entrees were smoky, tender, and flavorful. The pork had a nice bark on it. The collard greens were delightfully spicy and the brussel sprouts were crisp with a surprising vinegar dressing. Acoustic guitar from 7pm to 9pm was awesome, as was the beer list...a dozen beers on draft.

Highly recommend and will return!

To say we were "greeted" would be an overstatement, but we were tolerated by the guy behind the counter who appeared to not want to be there. I understand no one loves work, and I really don't expect over the top bubbly super energetic staff, but it felt like we weren't wanted. Anyway, we ordered, pulled pork Mac and a half pound of brisket. The beer selection was nothing special so my husband passed. Very expensive for the atmosphere, lack of table service, and subpar beer selection. We were feeling a little underwhelmed when we sat down but the food saved the trip, the macaroni had flavor, usually BBQ macaroni is near flavorless, the meat was flavorful and we both loved the one sauce we tried (no idea the name because the bottles weren't labeled). Overall, it was ok, but because it was expensive and slightly uncomfortable (picnic table seating inside) we wouldn't come back.

Loved the BBQ! Nachos and wings. Cocktails were great and fun for the season. Can't wait to go back!
