Christina SanchezMay 26, 2013Get the moist brisket and St. Louis ribs. You cannot go wrong! A plus and friendly staff. If you tell them it's your first time they let you sample the goods!
Super DadMarch 12, 2017Fantastic BBQ!!! Moist Brisket & Cutters Brisket are Amazing!!! Also, nice playground in the back for the kids to have fun on!
Michael BreitnerSeptember 14, 2013Our group from Wisconsin visited; great service, shout outs as a welcome, and some of the best bar-b-q we've ever eaten. Get cream corn as one of your sides. When in Austin again, we'll be back!
Wilma M.January 3, 2016Awesome extra moist brisket. If you haven't been to Rudy's before then tell them as you're placing the order to sample all meats.
Paul GozzoSeptember 2, 2014Everything we got was delicious! The cream corn and moist brisket were especially good. The staff was the best of any Texas BBQ joint we have been to yet!- Christine LeeDecember 15, 2012Free samples for newcomers! Must get: extra moist brisket, cream corn, and banana pudding.
Not fancy, but reliably tasty BBQ served by friendly folks. I always go with the moist brisket and sausage. The creamed corn is my go-to side.
Pamela BillsMay 27, 2014Cream corn...yum! I knew this place was on the top 10 Bar B Q list and can see why. Great service, atmosphere, & bar b q.. Winner if the Malcolm Baldridge Award...bug said!
Tony LopezNovember 25, 2015Simply awesome barbeque, be it ribs, brisket or sausage. We go whenever we have guests from out of state because it's so Texas and never disappoints.
GloJuly 9, 2017Extra moist brisket is a must! Appreciated the Rookie sampler (tell 'em it's your first time). Ran out of Big Red, def a bummer. Would return!
Good brisket and or sausage sandwiches. I usually get one of h to see with potato salad and a banana pudding or Oreo cup
Rudy’s is still my favorite barbecue place, no matter how fancy and popular some others are.
Rich GallagherOctober 29, 2011One of the best BBQ experiences in the area is, yes, in a gas station. Order some extra moist brisket, some sausage, and some turkey and slather it all in some Rudy's sauce.
Chase HagermanAugust 31, 2014Dog friendly tip: note that dogs are not allowed on the patio, but there is a great, big picnic area behind it for you and your pooch.
Sandra RubinchikJuly 8, 2022Gotta get there by 10am for the breakfast tacos! (Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with the pre-made ones under the heat lamp with none of the fixins.)
Jimmy RiderMay 6, 2011Great Texas BBQ - visiting from Australia we were given a full explanation and tasting of food on offer , before we ordered - Delicious Brisket ( Moist ) and Cream Corn mmmmmmm do yourself a favor !
Social News NetworkJune 16, 2012If it is your first time going, tell them and they will let you try everything before you order. No matter what you choose, you have to get the cream corn.
Craig WingersonSeptember 4, 2015Probably the best BBQ I've ever had. Friendly service and generous portions. Plus super fun hand washers with stickers!
Get the moist brisket. It's the best, the best. Love Rudy's and try to eat outside in the back picnic area.
Mitch LewandowskiDecember 29, 2014Get the extra moist brisket and the creamed corn. Make sure to wash your hands! :)
HannahJuly 10, 2016best bbq I've ever had! cream corn is delicious and it's great to go with family and friends🍖
russ kendrickMarch 29, 2014A great representation of TX BBQ. The pork loin is a under appreciated option here worth a 1/4 pound to taste. You will order it again
Janie SDecember 31, 2012This is a must-go in Austin. Our cashier Shaq may have been the nicest man I've ever met. And don't forget to wash your hands in the hand wash machine.
Consistanly one of the best BBQ places around! My fave is the brisket extra leas and lots of black. Cream corn and beans are great too. It would be nice to have more seating with A/C.
Darrel B.April 25, 2013Amazing bbq, go with the moist brisket it's the best, turkey is great and the cream corn is like heaven in your mouth!!!
Abner AcevesFebruary 15, 2015Gas station BBQ spots are the best thing ever. Bring some friends sit out back. Go for the brisket!!
Анна КоршенкоDecember 2, 2015This is a must visit place. Great meat, very tasty! Recommend to everyone
Erin JueMarch 18, 2017My favorite meat is the brisket! The banana pudding and creamed corn are delicious!!- Lady GunterSeptember 3, 2011Get the succulent marbled brisket. It just melts in ya mouth. Best spot for tender brisket. Yuummm! *^,^*
Gerry ADecember 31, 2012I'm not from TX so this is by far the best BBQ I've had in my life... Will definitely go back next time I'm in town.
Nick ScottFebruary 21, 2017Some of the best 'fast bbq' in the state and of course the mythic rudys sauce
Oz LublingFebruary 10, 2017Hidden in a random gas station, this place has the best brisket in austin.
Marker WMay 23, 2011Great BBQ for a gas station....County Line is better but being from the north any BBQ is better than what we have... Nice people though very friendly. I with the stop...for sure!
1/2 pound brisket... extra lean is awesome, but if you don't mind the fat, then go for cutter's choice... and get some creamed corn behind the counter!
- Diane KennedyOctober 8, 2015Get the extra moist brisket......the lean is just not Texas brisket....worth the extra calories!
⚜️RockdeLis.com⚜️ ~Erin Michelle~💋April 22, 2015BYOB!! Bring your own blanket. Large grassy area for a nice romantic picnic.
JeremyMarch 14, 2010I've tried just about all of Austin's BBQ, and trust me, if you can get here, it's the BEST. Go "Cutter's Choice" and St. Louis style Ribs with Beans. Buy a bottle of "Sause" to go!- My second home! You can't go wrong here. I recommend the chicken or the chopped beef. And you have to close with some pudding y'all.
Chopped, egg and cheese = heaven! And their extra moist is my favorite brisket in all of the great state of Texas!!
Gabe AhnAugust 25, 2013Awesome backyard area to BBQ picnic. Bring y'all's doggies And kids to play in it.
