Editorial Review for Rudy's Country Store & Bar-B-Q – by Susan Kirr
In Short
The look and feel is of a rural barbecue joint, but everything from the rustic siding and red cinderblock walls to the exposed ducts is contrived to give Rudy's this effect. A long tin chest holds bottles of beer and soft drinks immersed in sparkling ice. Order at the counter, then retreat to picnic tables, either indoors or outside.
Meat's the thing here, and everything--brisket, turkey, pork ribs and jalapeño sausage--has a genuine smoky flavor.

Try the turkey and pork loin. The beans and banana pudding are staples there too. I love the fast paced wait staff at the counter. It's best to drop in at 11:30 or after 1:30 if you want to get in and out in a short time.
Pros: Great BBQ and prices. Fast service.
Cons: Very crowded around lunchtime... not really con but be aware of it.

I just moved to Texas from Michigan about a year ago and ever since I got here I have been on this quest for great BBQ. I have been to a few places that havent quite met my expectations. And the other day when I made the random decision to go here for lunch I didnt really wnat to get my hopes up. So to my surprise when I got to the counter the guys were so friendly and asked if it was my first time. I went through the whole first-timer experience with trying samples and making a great meal decision. Me and my boyfriend were so impression with the quality of customer service that I "almost" wanted to leave w/ the food and write a blog about it right then. Thank you so much for restoring my faith in Southern charm and good ol' fashion BBQ.
Pros: Customer Service
Cons: Parking
