on Citysearch Nov 19, 2008I used to love this place. But, it has now officially become corporate BBQ. Over the years the extra moist brisket has become less "moist" and less "dirty" in order to occomdate the homogenized tastes of an expanding... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 10, 2008I use Rudy's for Group Meals at least 1-2X/week. I continue to use them because they are consistently on time, everything is complete and well-packaged, and the food is always high-quality. The staff is friendly and... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 01, 2008I like Rudy's, it isn't the greatest, but it is what it is. A fast food barbecue place. Before Rudy's, I can't really remember where I used to go and get tasty quick, Que. Everything there is good, but the "eckrich style"... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 22, 2008I wont partonize here after how i witnessed the immature and rude counter staff, and their supervisor, berate an elderly couple (who were in the right) for so long that the woman became embarrassed and had to leave the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 30, 2007Assembly line approach, and the order takers and meat prep staff need supervision. They don't appear to have any quality goals at all. Average BBQ, a elementary school cafeteria dining experience.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 24, 2007Love this place... especially the meats. The sides are good, too. The creamed corn is naughty but so good. Busters has better slaw in my opinion. Love the rookie show they put on, love the beer in the tubs, etc.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2006I have been to a few other BBQ places in Austin (Pok-e-Joes, Iron Works, Salt Lick), and I enjoy coming back to Rudys more often than I do Salt Lick (it is a ways out there). I strongly recommend getting the Extra Moist... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006When we first moved to Austin I was very disappointed at the horrible BBQ places we kept ending up at. We finally decided to try Rudy's even though it was in a gas station...boy am I glad we did! This is the best BBQ I've... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 22, 2006Like most people in Texas, I've gone out of my way to try as many barbeque places as possible - so I like to think my opinion is well-considered. In my experience, the meat at Rudy's is consistently the best - "lean"... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 20, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>This looks and feels like a rural barbecue joint, from the rustic siding and red cinderblock walls to the exposed ducts. A long tin chest holds bottles of beer and soft drinks immersed in... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 28, 2005I know people who really like this place, but I just don't get it. They do not have near the taste of other local bbq places. The only thing I like here is the creamed corn. PROS: corn CONS: price/taste... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2005The BBQ is simply great! You get it how you like it, trimmed, with fat, whatever. I prefer the MOIST here. MMM.... The prices at Rudy's are also great. Nothing seems to be overpriced. You can come in in shorts and a... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 25, 2005When you can't get all the way out to the Saltlick...well, Rudy's is the next best thing. All their meat is top quality and the flavor is amazing. The sides are great...and the sauce...well, that is famous! However, my... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2005Where else can you get your pick of extra moist OR extra lean brisket? (Hint to the previous reviewer -- you should have chosen the extra lean if you don't like fat!) It's the little details that make Rudy's the king of... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 10, 2005After hearing many people tell me that Rudy's is the best BBQ in Texas, I finally got to try it and I was so disappointed. The food was below average. The super moist brisket was tender but too fatty for my taste and the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2004I had my first extra moist beef brisket at this Rudy's two years ago and I finally had the chance for a return visit a couple weeks ago (I live in San Francisco). It was as good as I had remembered! Moist, flakey, tender,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 30, 2003If you are going to get anything at Rudy's get the turkey. All you need is to order 1 pound and they will give you half a loaf of bread. You can make as many sandwiches as you want and it is really cheap.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2002Rudy's is a great standby if you're looking for a quick barbeque fix. If you're looking for great barbeque and you've got time on your hands, use it wisely and look elsewhere. (more)
