A group of us got together after our Saturday meeting around 12/1230p! We all enjoyed Rudy’s BBQ! I had a chopped sandwich and beans and it was really delicious. One of my Sister’s had a baked potatoe with brisket. I think I might try that next time! Best peach cobbler ever!

Food had a nice taste, very well priced. I was expecting a little more than just 8 slices of sausage on a toasted bun but for the price it seems appropriate. Cozy atmosphere. I didn’t care for the picnic tables and it being partially a gas station but very Texas to say the least. I’d return

Buying the full brisket uncut is by far the best price in the entire DFW Metroplex. Also fuel at the pump is the lowest price. The Brisket quality ranks in the top 5 or better, taste/ juicy/ tender, adding the price with that ranks Rudy’s on I-20 service road in Arlington, Texas #1.

Sliced Brisket sandwiches normally excellent, along with sides and green chile stew.

I decided to get some chopped brisket to go to make brisket tacos at home. First time I’ve had their chopped brisket and that was the ABSOLUTELY WORST brisket I’ve ever had in my life! It was bone dry and chewy tough. I even tried drowning it in their BBQ sauce and it was AWFUL.

DO NOT GET CHOPPED BRISKET TO GO. It’s exorbitantly priced and TERRIBLE to the point of being inedible. I question how this could possibly have been made fresh today.

Pull up for Diesel, which is actually the cheapest around at $3.25 vs others at $3.99 with the prices hiking like crazy, and meet the slowest pump on the planet. I mean it’s so slow, I had time to go eat a BBQ sandwich, which they measured 3 slices of brisket, then weighed and with all the fat that was on it, it was HALF the size of what was actually cut. After eating HALF a sandwich, had time to go outside with the pump still going and at $74, over 20 minutes, I turned it off and left. Nice staff, but come on. If you’re gonna sell BBQ by the slice, and be that stern, at least remove the stuff you can’t eat and or don’t want to eat, and for God’s sake, fix the pumps! How old are they! Can’t see myself coming back to this location.

When I first heard “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But stepping into Rudy’s in Arlington felt like entering a true Texas BBQ haven. The spacious, picnic-style seating immediately set a relaxed, welcoming tone—perfect for a casual yet satisfying meal.

The self-service setup is a nice touch, letting you grab your own fountain drinks and load up on all the condiments you need. But let’s get to the real star: the brisket. I opted for the moist cut, and let me tell you, it was perfection—tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. It practically melted in my mouth, leaving me wanting more.

Beyond the food, Rudy’s nails the atmosphere. It’s comfortable, friendly, and great for families, friends, or solo BBQ enthusiasts looking for a laid-back feast. If you’re in Arlington and craving authentic Texas barbecue, this spot needs to be on your list!

Greetings, I just purchased a smoked ham and after finally getting it it’s overcooked. We cannot serve this for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. This is the first and LAST time I will be ordering items for my Holiday dinner from here. I am so DISAPPOINTED. As a Manager, how can you package an item that looks like as this ham did and send it out to a paying customer? You and your staff had to have seen and known it was overcooked. But I guess it didn’t matter. If I could post the pictures I most definitely would.

UPDATE **
I want to provide an update to my previous review. After my initial negative experience, the management team reached out to me personally to apologize asking how could they make things right.

The head of management, Mr. Glen Loth followed up quickly with an online response requesting contact information and a copy of my receipt, which I sent along with a photo of the item purchased so they could fully understand what happened.
I truly appreciate the effort and concern shown by Mr. Loth. He not only listened, but he took immediate action to correct the situation. We soon received a replacement, a perfectly smoked ham and a delicious dessert that exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for standing behind your product and showing great customer service. Mistakes happen. Because of the response given by Mr. Loth, I (we) will continue to be a customers.

DISAPPOINTED and PISSED!!
First time and last time ordering a Thanksgiving entree from here.
I ordered a brisket and come to found out on Thanksgiving day they gave me a turkey breast. I called on Friday spoke to manager Erin, she asked me to take the leftover turkey breast I had and she would replace it with brisket. I told her it was 1/2 gone she said she understood to bring it. I got upset told I would be over in 30 mins and hung up.

I arrived and it just got worse. The manager never apologized and seemed unconcerned and inconvenient. She just said “You have your receipt”. I showed her my online receipt and I told her I only ordered brisket not sure how this could had happen. She just looked at my receipt, didn’t say anything, and walked away to the back register. She took awhile and looked like she got other employees involved about the situation. I started to get angry as if I did something wrong. She finally walks over and still questions me asking “Did you have another order that day?”. Now I got loud shook my head and told her “No, this was my first time ordering here and it would be my last time.” She looked like a deer in headlights. And tried to explain “why” the amount of brisket she was giving me. I cut her off and told her “Let’s just get this over with” I grabbed the bag and told her I will be calling corporate and giving her a review. I stormed out of there pissed and in disbelief!! Worst Customer service!!

Fyi: I didn’t get any refund not even partial. I received a 1/2 lb of brisket. And she kept my leftover turkey breast so watch out someone probably got my leftovers!!
