When I travel, I always look for local fare. When I am in Texas, I'm always told that the best local fare is at Rudy's. I had lunch here yesterday with business associates. I loved the causal setting and atmosphere. This is not a hoity-toity place for a formal dinner. This is a bar-b-que "joint." We arrived at the peak... More

They are everywhere so they are easy to get to. It's a nice stop when leaving Lake Travis for a day at the lake or you can run "up the road" for a casual dinner. I like the brisket and the "hottie" (hot sausage link) along with the beans and potato salad.

I'm from Memphis, worked at a BBQ joint there and I LOVE BBQ...I was skeptical when I went to Rudy's not only because I was going to eat BBQ somewhere other than Memphis but it's also a gas station and C-Store...So, I got in line and ordered a little of everything (I was there with my family so I had...
