Wednesday, 6-03-2026: We've been craving Rudy's since we got to Texas. We fondly recall their…read morebrisket, smoked turkey, creamed corn , and potato salad. We finally made it to this one and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is spacious with many picnic tables covered with checkered tablecloths. The ceiling is vaulted adorned with beams. It's a very casual & rustic ambiance. I opted for the brisket sandwich while hubby craved the smoked turkey sandwich. The sides chosen were the creamed corn and potato salad. Our entire order was packed in one of those hefty dishwashing trays. Very clever. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. We totally savored all the food. The brisket was just as tasty & tender as I remembered and hubby's smoked turkey had his tastebuds singing! Hands down the best creamed corn anywhere and their potato salad was excellent, too. Let's not forget their "sauce!" Everything was so flavorsome. Since we had leftover potato salad & creamed corn, we ordered BBQ sausage to go for dinner at the hotel later that evening. It was delicious, too. We're so happy we came by. Rudy's remains our #1 BBQ destination in Texas.

I am so glad that i found this place…read more Very hole-in-the-wall type of vibe, I wasn't sure if I went in the right door when I walked in. The food is so good. I heard the braised cabbage is good so I gave it a try and I loved it, I would eat pounds of that stuff. The brisket was very good with the right amount of tenderness and flavor without being overcooked. The Mac and cheese was interesting because it had loads of spices but it was also great, I definitely appreciated the spin on it more than regular mac n cheese. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to come here.

The best brisket I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT sleep on the sweet potato cornbread ... it's life changing. You can thank me later! Don't miss this place, we travel a lot and made a joke we would fly to dallas in the morning, rent a car to drive here for lunch then fly back to chicago to be home for dinner! Very homey inside and Jack is so nice!

The staff is very friendly. That place is very clean. The food was awesome. I had the two meat plate with two sides. Brisket and sausage, coleslaw, and the ranch cheese. The presentation was great. And the food was awesome. They also offer gravy, which is the juices from the briskets which is pretty damn cool. So I definitely recommend this place. It's a home down restaurant. It's a stable. So if you want some great barbecue, this is a place to hit.

Better than most in the area but the sauce and cheese did not seem fresh. I will say the crust on the edges was crispy and has seasoning which was good, but the dough was thicker and chewier than I expected. This being said, I will say that if I lived in the area I would absolutely come back to catch a good game, decent pizza, and maybe try some of their many unique craft beers.
