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.
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!
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.

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!!
