You have to get the TX-style brisket. The green beans are sweetened and unique as far as green beans go.

We've had good local bbq, Wrights is a regional favorite, but let me tell you this, they have nothing on Rudy's. The meat was really, REALLY good, tender, juicy and very well-seasoned. But the part that blew us away was the sides! I know we didn't try them all, but we will! That coleslaw had something that was unique, very fresh and tasty. The stew was good, kind bland after that spicy meat, but that's ok. It was the beans! Hubby ate an entire pint. (Now I'm in the car with him). They're open for breakfast. BREAKFAST! I'll be there in the next day or two to try the breakfast tacos. It was a 5 star experience! The staff was super! The owners even took time to chat with me and my bean-eating man.

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.

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!
