I have tried several BBQ restaurants and I would say this is one of my favorite overall BBQ restaurants which even though based originally out of Austin TX carry that same quality here in Clear Lake area.

The prices are fair but as anyone would expect BBQ is usually priced on the higher side. However they food for what you pay is above average. The condiment bar with pickles and onions and lemons etc is nice added value.

Overall I would rank if 4.5 based on mere higher pricing needs to be adjusted.

Never the less I will always return here and recommend out of town , out of state , and international visitors definitely stop off while visiting NASA space center area.

I do not like rating such good tasting bbq so low but the quality of food we bought for the amount we paid was way disproportional. We bought a pound of brisket, a whole sausage, patatoe salad, and creamy corn. The book was over $60 and if you see the pictures it was not worth it. The beef was nothing but fat. Whoever cut it should be ashamed they thought it was worthy to be served to someone. If anything it should have been out to shred to make sausage but not to slice and pass it off as beef slices. Sad part is that whatever beef we did get was tasty. The potato salad and creamy corn was good. We got so very little bbq sauce it’s sad. I know you can buy their sauce but if you are buying their bbq you should get enough to go with your food. This place has just too much clout for what it’s worth. I rather support a mom and pop bbq place than eat here again. Feel free to throw them your money but don’t say you werent warned.

We went to Rudy’s while staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. It is just a 3 minute drive. Rudy’s was fantastic! The atmosphere is what you expect at southern bbq joint. Open, fun, busy, and lively. The young man who took our order was so kind and respectful! It was our first time there and he made the suggestion to try the turkey, which I gladly took his recommendation. My daughter chose the brisket and the others in our party selected the pulled pork sandwiches. We also go a small helping of the potato salad, beans, Cole slaw, creamed corn, pecan pie, and buttermilk pie. Our meal was topped off with beets, Topo Chico and sodas.
The meat was moist and delicious. Each piece had a nice smoke to it. The brisket crust was delightful. Salty, crispy and darn right tasty!!
We would highly recommend stopping at Rudy’s!!

I like the brisket moist, it’s tender and juicy. The prime rib is kind of dry, but rich in flavor.
People work here are passionate and friendly.

When we had came in, the lady up at the front had been very nice and told us we could get samples and order up front. From that point on it just got worse. First of all, the person taking our order had been annoyed when we had said it was our first time and didn’t seem too invested in doing her job. We had decided on what to order and so she gave us our food but while our food was being made we saw an employee chowing down on a piece of brisket with no gloves on. That was the brisket we were given. The building was nicely laid out though. We had been grabbing our drinks, sides and toppings before we sat down at either a strangely small table or a table too large, I took my first sip of root-beer and noticed that the soda machine most likely was never cleaned. I had ordered a pulled pork sandwich which was actually good, i took a bite from a piece of a brisket to notice it had been dry, fairly tasteless and also somehow filled the the flavor of lighter fluid and the remnant’s of the past 5 orders. We had to wash down all our sides with salt as well. Would not come again.

First off, I love Rudy’s BBQ. I go to Rudy’s in Brownsville TX every week if not more than once a week, and they deliver a consistent product. But at this Rudy’s, I had the worst breakfast taco I had ever had. I ordered the taco fresh, but it almost seems like they took one out of the warmer and modified it to meet the specifications of my order. It was an unpleasant experience. Hopefully they can learn from this and do better.

Excuse me, Rudy’s? What is this??? I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it doesn’t even enough meat proportion for a child. I paid like $8-9 for this! If I wasn’t in a hurry to my appointment I would have went back inside. The bun size was tiny (like Chick-fil-a tiny) and the meat was the smallest layer of pork. 3 bites to eat this micro sandwich..

A truly authentic, rugged Texas place—exactly what I imagined. The food was incredibly tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

A fantastic little BBQ stop outside of Houston – ideal for a stop to/from the NASA visit.

Had a healthy selection of their range and, hands down, the Moist Brisket is the best I’ve had in the US so far. Flavour to consistency to perfection. All in a friendly and good-vibe venue with friendly southern service.

Give it a stop.

– Value for money? Yes
– Worth a detour? No
– Best for (occasion)? Great bite when visiting NASA
– Would I go back? Yes

My photos don’t do it justice, but we got a great deal of food. We had the moist brisket, baby back ribs, and turkey as our meat. All of it was so flavorful. Our sides, such as potato salad and beans, were also very good and worth a try!
