Seriously, the "Worst BBQ" ever!

by memoryj at Citysearch

Their BBQ is soooo unbelievably good. You have GOT to try this place, I do not understand why it isnt number one! I have tried the other top places listed on citysearch, and this place by far beats them all.

• Pros: the food and sauSe!
• Cons: cost can add up quickly!

Enjoy roadside smoked barbecue in a manufactured barn.

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.

by stingcode32 at Citysearch

The best barbeque ever, not to mention the greatest banana pudding. The staff is literally, this is not an exageration either, the friendliest in town. Awesome place, fantastic food.

• Pros: Foods is great and relativly cheap
• Cons: sometimes crowded due to popularity

The best finger licking BBQ in the state of Texas

by mblount at Citysearch

Heavenly! This is by far the best BBQ you will ever eat. It's peppered, falls apart because it is so tender and the sauce is to die for. Brisket, Pork, Turkey or Ribs whatever floats your boat, they've got it. I am particularly found of the Brisket... mmm, mmm, good. Don't stop there, they have some of the best creamed corn you will ever eat, yes creamed corn. Try to save room for the banana pudding it is scrumptous!

• Pros: BBQ that Rocks!, Friendly Service!, Great Take Out!

HmmmHmmmmGood

I only found Rudy's about a year ago after my brother dragged me in there becuas ehe thought it had the best sausage he'd ever eaten. I hate to say it, but he was right!!! I can't go through Austin now without stopping for sausage, or brisket, or ribs, or just a pint of beans or cream corn! Not only are the employees super friendly and always cheerful, they know how to move a line and the people to the food. I also love the concept of buying by the slice or by the pound so if you only want a sandwhich you only have to pay for a sandwhich.

• Pros: great taste, Rudy's Sause, fairly priced
• Cons: usually crowded (only, because it's good)

Look elsewhere

by malcs85 at Citysearch

Big disappointment. I was soo excited to try bbq at Texas and I thought I would love it. Hated it here. The cashier guy was kinda rude...I wouldn't have cared if the food was good but it was the complete opposite. The brisket was tasteless, the bbq sauce was cold and gross, the potato salad needs salt, and the hot link was overcooked. Pleeeese if you are from out of town, do not come here.

• Pros: parking

If you like pepper, this is the place

by froggieg at Citysearch

I had dinner at their Round Rock location. Overall it was OK, but their BBQ has way too much pepper in it for me, and their sauce was spicy, too. My mouth was on fire afterwards. If you like peppery stuff, then go for it. If not, go to County Line BBQ in Austin.

• Pros: Clean, Good value, Convenient
• Cons: , Served on paper, Plastic utensils

Tasty Bar-b-que

by glennbashem at Citysearch

Deliciously tender moist cuts of beef, with superb peppery sauce. Decent sides, corn however is often overcooked.

• Pros: juicey beef, peppery sauce, speed of service
• Cons: , lighting, average side dishes
