I love Rudy's, I always have. I really like the turkey and the extra lean brisket. The cole slaw is pretty good. I haven't had any of the other side dishes. The only thing I find annoying is the fact they use high fructose corn syrup in the sauce. Come on guys what is that about? The meat is very... More

It was really good. The meat was tender, corn was great, three bean salad was off the chain! The bananna pudding was just like Grandma used to make! its a little pricey, but well worth it! More

I used to like Rudy's for the vinegar based barbecue sauce. I really dislike sauces that are sweet, using sugar, honey or what have you. After not being at Rudy's for a while, I went back and the sauce seemed to lack the vinegary tang and had an unpleasant (for me) sweet aftertaste. Looking at the label I noticed that... More

I was told about Rudys so I had dinner since I was staying across the street. No frills dining, you stand in line and order what you want by the pound. I had the green chili stew (excellent) and a half pound of BBQ turkey (tender and flavorful) that came with some bread to make a sandwich. The prices were... More

Take a trip back to the 70's when you had to go though a line to get a BBQ sandwich, They have two styles of brisket, lean and moist. One is more healthy and the other tastes good! All the sides are good and the prices are reasonable. I had the chicken this trip, moist and smokey taste with their... More

Good BBQ. Step up and order and then get called when your order is ready. Some big "community" tables around but I recommend take out. More

Rudy's always has great food--meat is very tender. I especially enjoy the turkey. The side dishes are always very good and the green chili stew is VERY good. More

Come hungry. Order your meats and sides, sit down amongst the crowd, and enjoy. The staff is always very pleasant, the food even better! Vegans need not attend. More
