First time and visiting from out of town. The counter guy walked us through the way they operate — meat by the pound, no set meals — including giving us samples, which were so good!
We had the moist brisket, a jumbo potato, some pulled pork and other sides. Everything was perfectly flavored and expertly cooked.
Have the banana pudding. So yum!
Shout out to the guy in line behind us who we tried to let skip us and who said “they’ll let you try samples to find what you like!”
Excellent service and atmosphere. Clean tables and easy supplies to take our leftovers home.

Yo, I apologize in advance, but whoever is responsible for cooking y’all‘s pigs in a blanket needs to hear this. Please stop overcooking the dang weenies,please! I used to love these things and now it’s just ruining my mornings. Im hung over and I just want a tasty piggy in a blanket to ease the pain, not some dehydrated dog pecker. Also, I got a half pound of brisket and y’all specifically said you give me the fatty piece but 90% is too dry. Seems like a common theme.

Order arrived promptly. If you like spicy Texan meats and beans this is one of your eating establishments. Food was hot and wrapped good. Brisket was juicy and filling. Ribs were ok. Banana pudding was good. Lots of bread given. Chicken was dry. Corn was laced with black pepper. Flatware was flamboyant……lol

If you’re a BBQ lover, Rudy’s is an absolute must! The brisket was tender, flavorful, and perfectly smoked — truly one of the best I’ve had. They offer a diverse range of meats including turkey, sausage, and more, all of which were juicy and delicious. The variety of hot sides like different types of beans, creamed corn, and more make it easy to build the perfect meal.
What really sets Rudy’s apart is the amazing staff. They’re incredibly friendly and helpful, especially if it’s your first time. Don’t know what to order? No problem — they offer free samples to help you decide, and the sample portions are generous! The staff will walk you through the menu and help you pick the best options for your taste.
And don’t skip dessert — it was fantastic and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal.
Highly recommended for anyone craving great BBQ, warm service, and a casual, welcoming atmosphere!

On a vacation here in Texas, I have tried multiple BBQ at different cities so far, to be fair it’s not near the top level of my list, the meat was on the slightly dry side, seasoning should’ve been better. However, the service is really good, price is inexpensive.

Rudy’s is a Texas staple. I have never been disappointed. Their sauce is more on the earthy, spicy side as opposed sweet. They serve you on butcher paper cause plates are for fancy people. Oh, and don’t wear anything that requires dry cleaning. Its BBQ.

Rudy’s used to have some of the best breakfast tacos if you wanted something simple. Today, I got this from the 183 location. I took a bite, and for a split second, I thought, Did they put sour cream on it? It was sour, then it went bitter. I got rancid sausage. Usually, their sausage is reddish tan in color with a good snap. Apparently, I got the bad breakfast taco.
I went to take it back, but the two employees were talking (I guess someone had to leave early), and I didn’t want to interrupt, so that’s on me for not asking for a receipt.
I recommend putting a date on them. I’m assuming I just got one that had been skipped over for a week or two, which was just my bad luck—I won’t be getting sausage again anytime soon.

Family restaurant, unpretentious, spotless clean, with great service and honest prices. Amazing value

Pretty good except for the cashier she was more concerned about talking to her coworkers than getting my order. She got the wrong order placed but the food was enough to make up for it…. Maybe or maybe not that we will be back.

We loved this place. The customer service is incredible. They really took care of us and asked us about sampling the food since it was our first time. This definitely helped us decide what we are going to get.
The brisket tasted so good. My wife enjoyed it a lot. The service was fast and we enjoyed the deco of the place. The side dishes are plenty. We got some potato salad. The pickles and onions and sauces were nice to enjoy with the brisket.
Easy parking and free. Definitely one of the best places in Austin for meat lovers.
