Rudy’s “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q is such a reliable stop for classic Texas barbecue. The brisket is flavorful and tender, the ribs are well-seasoned, and the sides are surprisingly good — especially the creamed corn. Service is quick and friendly, and the whole place has a casual, no-frills charm. Great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or stocking up on BBQ to-go.

There are many barbecue chains in Austin, but Rudy’s is the best. All their barbecue meats are excellent, but their sides are really special. I and particularly love the creamed corn, which sometimes is enough to get me to go here instead of another barbecue place. Their green chili stew is also excellent, and I think it’s made from brisket and chicken along with some vegetables and chilies. The potato salad is very good, as is the three bean salad. They have a fun hand washing machine that shoots out jets of whirling soapy, water, that is probably not as effective as just washing your hands with soap and water, but kids like it, and It’s probably better than getting barbecue sauce all over the handles of the sink from peoples greasy hands! Is Rudy’s as good as a place like Franklin? Definitively not, but you also don’t have to wait in line for three hours, and if you feel like getting barbecue at 9:30 in the evening, Rudy’s will be open, where is Franklin will probably have been closed for six hours already. Despite the fact that it’s a chain, they have still maintained their quality.

Good cheap option for Texas barbecue. It has a good space for larger groups and the vibe was great for my first time trying Texas barbecue with a group of friends. I assume if you want something fancier this wouldn’t fit the style, but I was happy with my brisket sandwich with onions and pickles and lime.

The food was tasty! There was a miscommunication in what they have and what I wanted. The brisket and turkey was good. I had the red buttered potatoes. I wanted a baked potato with brisket on it. I was told they didn’t have it. Got to the table with co-workers, they both had a baked potato with meat on top.

This place never really disappoints unless you forget the BBQ sauce, which is a must-have.
I got a brisket sandwich and added both BBQ sauces to it, and it was absolutely amazing. Make sure you try the sassy sauce. It’s not spicy at all.
Service was a little weird. Wasn’t bad, though. Just had to wait for someone to help me, which a kitchen worker was trying to figure out as well.
As for the atmosphere. It’s not bad just not my cup of tea. Lol, it’s like siting at a cafeteria. All in all it’s a must try BBQ restaurant. Definitely coming back.

Put in pick up order for Thanksgiving. Order was wrong. But they did offer a $15 gift certificate if I drive back through traffic for them to make it right. Kuddos for that but why not double check the order prior to giving to customer???? Which is why one shouldn’t tip in advance!!!! Another life lesson learned. But the biggest disappointment was the Brisket. Tough, like jerky, and almost inedible. INEDIBLE. Even with the fixings and their amazing sauce. Everything else tasted phenomenal. Normally don’t waste my time with posting but extremely disappointed seeing this is Thanksgiving. I’ll just have to go to their other locations because unfortunately this has happened more then once at this location. Now back to football. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

We walked in and we were greeted by the amazing staff on April 4 at 5 PM. They were so kind and they gave us a taste of samples so we knew what to choose. It helped us decide what we wanted to get and we were very pleased with our brisket sandwich and our pulled pork sandwich. The staff is very attentive and served us promptly and with a smile the place is very clean. The banana pudding is delicioso. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try Rudy’s or barbecue. This is a wonderful place. I’m definitely coming back.

Vegetarian here, so I personally can’t speak for the BBQ, but my son was very pleased with his meal. They gave him nice sized samples.to help him decide on the meat. The staff was nice and accommodating. I had a tasty baked potato with sour cream and butter.
