In Short
UT students and slackers crowd the modest dining room or head out to the much larger, covered and fenced-in patio. Relics of Ruby's former neighbor, Antone's, cover the walls and blues music graces the sound system. The air is thick with the sweet, smoky smell of barbecue. The half-pound mixed combo includes two choices from beef, chicken, sausage or ribs and two sides. Chopped barbecue sandwiches and gumbo are some of the lighter options.

This place has a real bbq atmosphere with the blues decor and stucco wall. I love the home fries which are so unique with the thyme and rosemary. Beware of the gumbo, the gumbo was the worst thing I have ever tasted, but the spicy chopped beef is absolutely fantastic! All in all I would definitely recommend this place.

I've been on a mission to try every Que joint in austin and so far this has been my worst experience. The meat was fine but no better than some of the other places i've tried. everything else was pretty mediocre. I had high expectations for this joint, but will definitely not be going back after paying around $13 for a meal that I pushed around and didn't come close to enjoying. So far Iron Works is leading the pack in my search for the best Que in Austin.

Ruby's is awesome. The smoked chicken is the best anywhere. The black bean tacos are great, and the sides are all good witht the exception of the creamy cole slaw-it's kinda bland. The place even smells great with a nice patio out back.
