Legit, the best BBQ I've ever had. We served family style with both lean and moist brisket, smoked turkey, smoked sausage, creamed corn, and cold slaw. That moist brisket... oh. my. land!!!! Out of this world and worth every penny. I would go back again...and again. I am just visiting Austin and didn't know it was a chain, and it did not have a chain feel, or taste!More

We have eaten at this location for 16 years. With the change of ownership a while back, they must have changed from buying prime brisket to lower quality. The meat is not any good any longer. It is more like a piece of roast and...just not the same. So very disappointed since this was one of our favorite places to eat. Would like to know if they every change back to better quality brisket then we will return.More

Love eating at Rudy’s . Only issue was spouse got baked potato with meat and it was cold. They remade a new one for him so it all worked out.

Maybe the best (moist) brisket I've ever had. We took a large group and ended up sharing several things so we could all get a sample of what was offered. The brisket was my favorite and the baby back ribs were also great, but everyone...was in agreement that their meat was extremely good! We tried the beans, cream corn, new potatoes, potato salad, and other sides. The sides were ok, but not outstanding. But who goes to a BBQ joint for the sides anyways?!More

This was typical Rudy’s fare. The meat was full of flavor, and the staff were all nice. They were out of a few things when we arrived, but we were also late eating there. It was the first time in years either of us had...been around a Rudy’s, and we were not disappointed.More

The breakfast tacos and sausage wraps are delicious! Egg and Bacon soft tacos are my favorite. Grab n Go. Fast in and out. Want a custom soft taco? Step up to the counter and order it.

We picked up Rudy’s for lunch. The brisket was melt in your mouth and the sausage was perfectly cooked. Our sides of potato salad and coleslaw were great.

You can always count on Rudy's for good, consistent BBQ. Brisket, sausage was outstanding. Was disappointed with the Prime Rib. Extremely fatty and more baked than smoked. Sides were excellent, and an overall good visit.

On recommendation, we had breakfast tacos. We are from Cali so I know tacos, but not Breakfast Tacos. Served in a fresh, warm, soft flour tortilla lies scrambled egg, shredded cheddar cheese, mixed with morsels of tasty brisket. The tacos are not huge but are...fulfilling in taste and protein factor. Perfect for a to go breakfast or even lunch. You have to get there before 10am though!!! We are going back tomorrow for another round.More

Great BBQ value just of I-35 at a shell station. These guys don't mess around - a full fledged smoker in the back of a gas station. In 3 weeks in Texas, it was the ONLY restaurant we returned to for seconds. The set up...is humble and straightforward. The tables are picnic style including limited outdoor seating with 2-3 tables a little further away from the gas station fumes. Brisket, sausage, ribs -- the trifecta of Texan bbq will leave you satisfied and probably will cut a few years of your life-span. For quick lunch or dinner at a very reasonable price (about $10/person) you will be a fat cat in no time. I wish I had made an excuse to order breakfast tacos...More

Had the pleasure of eating Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q at a friends place when we were in the Austin area last week. They ordered some barbecue from Rudy's. Barbecue was all good! Hot Links were delish with just enough kick. Pork Ribs were fall...off the bone delicious. Brisket was tender and yummy especially with their own barbecue sauce. Even the Banana Pudding for dessert was nice. It was our first time having some Texas barbecue, and we were not disappointed.More

There are a lot of BBQ places in town and all of them say they have the best Brisket. Well in my opinion the Wet Brisket at Rudy's is the best I've had. It is fall apart tender and has really good favor to it....The restaurant is walk up to the counter and order and is self service. The other items on the menu are good but the brisket stands out.More

Always go out of my way to stop at a Rudy’s when I’m in Texas. The moist brisket is my favorite. I’ve tried all the other meats and my favorite is hands down the moist brisket. The corn on the cob was also very tasty!!
