Been looking for a good BBQ being that I’m raised in the Deep South & my dad smoked his own meats. This was IT. Hit all the points. SMOKEY flavor, tangy sauce, genuine service with smiles, and you even get to waltz your meats to the red checkered table cloths in what I’d call a MEAT BIN. Haven’t felt altogether shameful and proud at the same time. Great experience and I’ll gladly do it all again thankya v much! Tilt o the hat fellers!

The Rudy's here is as good as you get in the Austin, TX. Locations. Same great food and a laid back, family style experience.
If you are looking for tablecloths and a waitress, this place is not what you are looking for.
And you have to try the creamed corn if you haven't tried it.

First time visiting a Rudy's, and also will be the last. We travel all over the country and can honestly say this is without a doubt the 2nd worst BBQ we've ever had. My exact words to my wife as we left was "That was really gross." Way too expensive for the poor quality.

Delicious barbecue with a super amazing deals at the time we were able to do the buy one get one for the brisket sandwiches. I love the self-serve bar where you can pick all your toppings and sites that you'd like. Amazing pricing for barbecue!

Very disappointing experience at Rudy’s. I placed a curbside pickup order and ended up waiting an extra 45 minutes just to receive it. When I finally got home—mind you, I live 5½ hours away in San Diego—I discovered that none of the meat was included in my order. The meat is literally the main part of the meal.
I called the restaurant immediately, and they said they would only reimburse me for the meat, which is incredibly frustrating since the meal is now useless. All I was left with were sides. To make it worse, I was told, “You should be fine because you still have your sides.” That response shows a complete lack of customer care, especially after I explained that returning was not an option due to the long drive.
Long wait times, a completely incorrect order, and dismissive customer service made this a very disappointing experience. I expected much better.
