I love the Rudy's atmosphere. Staff is always really helpful. They are not the best texas on BBQ, but they definitely always deliver consistency and very delicious food. Their cream corn is spectacular; as is the moist brisket.

April 2024 You will not find any gas pumps at this location if wondering but has everything else. I stopped by in the morning to have breakfast and found a large assortment of breakfast tacos, and grabbed a bacon, cheese, and egg. I ordered a small coffee to find it with a hint of pecan. The seating area is very roomy and relaxing. This place is not smokey at all so don't have to smell like smoke for the rest of your day. The taco was very good and big enough where only needed one. I really did enjoy the coffee where had a great flavor and different from the coffee shops. Upon leaving decided to take home a half chicken with side of potato salad for lunch. Heated part of it up in the microwave and had that delicious taste I enjoy so much from Rudy's.

There are many barbecue chains in Austin, but Rudy’s is the best. All their barbecue meats are excellent, but their sides are really special. I and particularly love the creamed corn, which sometimes is enough to get me to go here instead of another barbecue place. Their green chili stew is also excellent, and I think it’s made from brisket and chicken along with some vegetables and chilies. The potato salad is very good, as is the three bean salad. They have a fun hand washing machine that shoots out jets of whirling soapy, water, that is probably not as effective as just washing your hands with soap and water, but kids like it, and It’s probably better than getting barbecue sauce all over the handles of the sink from peoples greasy hands! Is Rudy’s as good as a place like Franklin? Definitively not, but you also don’t have to wait in line for three hours, and if you feel like getting barbecue at 9:30 in the evening, Rudy’s will be open, where is Franklin will probably have been closed for six hours already. Despite the fact that it’s a chain, they have still maintained their quality.

We walked in and we were greeted by the amazing staff on April 4 at 5 PM. They were so kind and they gave us a taste of samples so we knew what to choose. It helped us decide what we wanted to get and we were very pleased with our brisket sandwich and our pulled pork sandwich. The staff is very attentive and served us promptly and with a smile the place is very clean. The banana pudding is delicioso. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try Rudy’s or barbecue. This is a wonderful place. I’m definitely coming back.

Ate breakfast here 2 days in a row because the brisket, egg, and cheese tacos were that good! If the breakfast is that great, I just know the whole menu is worth every penny. They also have a nice variety of delicious bottled drinks. I tried the strawberry limeade and the peach lemonade and they were good to the last drop! 10/10 for sure.

Vegetarian here, so I personally can't speak for the BBQ, but my son was very pleased with his meal. They gave him nice sized samples.to help him decide on the meat. The staff was nice and accommodating. I had a tasty baked potato with sour cream and butter.

This was the best barbecue I’ve had in my life. The service is truly impeccable and they brought out samples of everything for us. I will return here if I am ever back in the area!

This place never really disappoints unless you forget the BBQ sauce, which is a must-have. I got a brisket sandwich and added both BBQ sauces to it, and it was absolutely amazing. Make sure you try the sassy sauce. It's not spicy at all. Service was a little weird. Wasn't bad, though. Just had to wait for someone to help me, which a kitchen worker was trying to figure out as well. As for the atmosphere. It's not bad just not my cup of tea. Lol, it's like siting at a cafeteria. All in all it's a must try BBQ restaurant. Definitely coming back.
