    When this place first opened, it was fantastic. Brisket was flavorful and juicy, ribs were the…read morebest! Now, you can really tell management has been hands off. The last few times we've went it's really been a let down. Our last time we went really made my family and I decide that we aren't coming back anytime soon. On this particular Friday night my family and I ordered "moist" brisket, ribs, sausage and a few sides. The first that was telling of how the meal was going to go was that the young lady (whom was very nice even apologetic) had to call our order out twice, only to be scolded by the meat guy the back that he heard her and that if he doesn't responds that he did so. How does that make sense? When I worked in the industry we called out, "heard", or "yes", or even repeated the order. He seemed not so nice, and his tone showed that along with the cashier turning to me and apologizing for him saying that, "that's just how he is." That's no way to treat team members. Once our food arrived, I dug into the brisket first and its was flavorless, not hot only slightly above room temperature, and for a moist cut, dry. Ribs were tough and barely edible, luckily one of my family members was able to eat them with enough sauce. The sausage was okay, but seemed overcooked and wrinkled and dry, but retained a decent flavor. Overall very disappointing. It was our understanding that the guy cutting meat was the manager, so we didn't bother to talk to him to complain. Also, we were there at 6:30ish on a Friday, and almost no other customers in the dining area. This, should've been our first clue. I really hope they can get turned around and can get back to what Texas BBQ is. I'm from there, and was raised loving Texas BBQ. Unfortunately, this was just not it. I'm giving two stars because our person who had taken our order was very nice and lovely to us. I really wish I had caught her name. But, it shouldn't matter as we've had great experiences with all the cashiers since we've been visiting. Who ever is running the cook of the meats or managing that is where the problem is. Again, I really do hope for improvement. My family and I will continue satiating our BBQ craving elsewhere until then. If you are management of Rudy's reading this. Thank you for doing so.

    We had to make a last minute trip to Tahlequah, but had never been so I looked for good ratings and…read morechose this place to eat. It didn't disappoint. I got the 1/2lb pulled pork plate and my wife got chicken. I was pretty shocked at the portion size of the pulled pork when it came out and thought how did this place get so many good reviews. You will see in my picture how tiny the meat cup was. It turns out the meat was packed in very tight and was way more than it appears. I mentioned this to one of the owners that maybe the presentation could be better so people don't immediately think they got nothing and he didn't seem concerned about the appearance because they weigh every portion. It's a nice little building with a giant tv. I didn't try the ribs but he told me they are specially imported and what they are known for. I will definitely go back and try again.

    Popped through Talequah and needed a bite. Don't make the mistake of overlooking Brown Bag which…read moreis tucked on the side of another biz building. I was looking for yelp suggestions and Brown bag was at the top of the list. So glad I stopped in. The place is simple, spotlessly clean and full of people enjoying great barbecue. The guy who took my order was super friendly and helpful with suggestions - the ribs and slaw and fries were an overwhelming yes! Other people at the bar top eating were encouraging me to get ribs. I had my ribs dry and got a side of their delicious vinegary sauce. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone. The coleslaw is probably the best I've ever had because it was finely blended & chopped, very creamy and delicious. The burgers are supposed to be great so I'll have to make another trip. Great food, great service!

Our order was wrong when it arrived but i think it was because we were not sure what we wanted and asked a lot of questions. You do habe to order from a screen and take a number. The screen was hard for me to read but they gave me a handheld menu. Food was AMAZING. Especially the spicy hog tide bbq sauce and potato salad. Ordered burnt ends, brisket, and ribs. All were fabulous. Ate everything. They also have outdoor seating, tables, and a to go counter.

I wasn't crazy about the flavor of the fries and thought the Cole slaw a little flat for flavor. That said, good barbecue is worth its weight in gold. The staff is friendly and courteous. It's a seat yourself type diner and they bring the food out. We like the sports shows to watch while we are eating on the several hanging televisions. A pleasant experience. We did mention it was our anniversary and the cashier was like ok. Would have been nice to get a freebie haha. Prices are decent, though.

    As a Texan, it pains me to write this but.... I think…read moreMissouri may have us beat on ribs yall. What a fantastic barbecue experience. I thought these ribs here were much better than anything we tried in Kansas City. While the smoke flavor isn't as pronounced as Texas style the dry rub and layering of flavor on the ribs was superb. I was pleasantly surprised by the brisket. While it lacked the intense smoke I'm used to and deeply rich bark, it was quite tender. The ribs however were a 10/10!

    I am a certified American Royal BBQ judge. I am considered an expert in barbecue and have been a…read morejudge in many many contests. Good news and bad news... Bad news? I walked in and they gave me the absolute worst seat in the house in an empty restaurant. WHY? I mean right next to the kitchen. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The beared-fellow that was host seemed miffed that I didn't want that seat. Maybe I read the situation wrong however. I moved back to the front by a window. Better. The waitress was an elderly gal from Texas that was quite sweet. The restaurant itself is an unattractive mess. I mean, just tacky tacky tacky. Like an old Sizzler steakhouse covered with cartoon pig art. One of the most unattractive "dining" rooms I have had the displeasure of sitting in. The good news? The ribs are some of the best I've had. Caramelized burnt sugar on the tips. A great sauce. Nice pull away. Etc. Just pork perfection. The BBQ sauce on the table is superior to anything else they can bring out. Stick with that. It's an excellent sauce. So this is a tough review. I didn't try anything else, but the ribs.. and they were next level great. So of you go here and my review doesnt jive - remember I ONLY had the ribs. This is a 2 star place but I am going higher because the ribs are just so doggone outstanding. Best ribs in Branson. (Oh, and I think the name of the place is lame too.)
