Finding Texas BBQ on Monday is a chore. I was driving through Waco at lunch time and wanted some…read moremeat smoke for lunch. Yelp pointed me towards Tony's. The place is pretty nice on the outside, as far as BBq places go. It is a little ways north of the downtown area. I went in right at noon and had to stand in line a while. I ordered 1/3 of a pound of moist brisket and 1/3 of jalapeños sausage. The cashier called someone else over cause she couldn't ring up 1/3 of a lbs. The second person told her to enter .33. When she did, it popped up .330. She asked if I'd be fine paying for .330 instead of 1/3 of a lb. Brisket was good, but I didn't get the requested moist end. The sausage was good, but not great. Someone came around and offered a free side of "gravy". I declined, but later regretted it. I really should have learned what bbq gravy tastes like.

Halfway between Dallas and Georgetown is a Rudy's BBQ in Waco. It's on the north side of IH-35, but…read moreeasy enough to get to even if you are heading south. There is construction going on, so you may need to exit early and stay on the frontage road to avoid missing it. Parking lot out front is generally empty because most people park in the back. Gas pumps out front are usually available without a wait. When you enter, you'll pass the country store where you can buy sauces and jams and such to take for gifts or yourself. Someone is usually there to greet you as you head inside. They have a line barricade that you have to weave through in order to get to the register to place your order. The wall menu board is positioned so you can read and decide what you want while you are in line. Meats are often ordered by weight, but you can get a sandwich if you don't know how much of an item to order. While in line, you'll zigzag by a large ice bucket of cold drinks in bottles and cans. I always skip these and get sweet iced tea from the self-serve station. You'll also pass a refrigerator of delicious sides and desserts. Be sure to load up on coleslaw, potato salad, pecan pie, and banana pudding. There's more, but these are some of our favorites. At the register, they will put together a large plastic bin lined with butcher paper and then load it up with your meal choices. We love the extra moist brisket, jalapeño sausage link, smoked turkey, corn on the cob, and new potatoes. For the meat, it is fun to order a 1/2 lbs. and a whole link to share with your party. If you want to make your own sandwich, ask for a half or whole loaf of bread depending on how many sandwiches you want to dress. They will load it all into your bin. If you are getting drinks from the drink station, be sure to get a Rudy's cup. You can bring it back for cheap refills on your next visit. They have both unsweet and sweet tea along with the usual soda fountain drinks. Before heading to your table, collect plastic flatware, paper napkins, and more butchers paper to set down as a place mat for each person. They also have a paper boat trays that you can load up with pickles, onions, and peppers for the sandwiches you will make at your picnic table. Each picnic table has condiments available. They have a full bodied BBQ sauce that is a bit sweet and spicy, and a Sissy BBQ sauce for those who need something more bland. There are tables inside and outside. Lots of tables can handle large groups, but there are also small 2-seater picnic tables. Once you are done chowing down, wad up the butcher paper with everything inside and deposit it into one of the many large trash bins. You can also ask for a bag to go and small containers to take items on the road. My family has always enjoyed their visits to Rudy's. They are located around the state of Texas, but they even have some in AZ, NM, OK, and CO. Not really great if your a vegetarian or on a diet for cholesterol or heart issues, but if you are young and healthy, it can be a nice meal for a splurge or cheat day.

This franchise stands out above the rest in freshness and flavor. Everything tasted like it was made with real care, not just cranked out. The staff were so friendly and accommodating!! I ordered my go to choice, the Mix Grill Plate, and it blew me away. The meats were perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and served in generous portions. As for the macaroni salad? It's hands down the best I've had at any of their locations I've visited. It was creamy, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the hearty plate. If you're in Waco and even slightly considering it, just go. This location sets the bar high.

It's too bad you can't swap out the rice for two scoops of macaroni or do a macaroni and veggie combo.
