Okay this place was super awesome! We were visiting from Oregon and Steffi helped us out and we had a warm welcome followed by samples. She was super helpful and explained everything clearly. I didn’t catch the blonde gals name working next to her who was asking us about Portland but she was awesome also! I’ll always recommend this place! Thanks for such an awesome visit.
It is very difficult to be consistent with barbecue. So many restaurants know this, yet there’s a constant hit or miss when it comes to the food that’s prepared. Rudy’s is the exception in my 20 years of eating at Rudy’s either for breakfast lunch or dinner I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal. I’m not stating that it’s some top-tier barbecue, that you would get from a place like Franklin’s, or Valentina’s, or Terry Blacks, but it’s great barbecue at a great price that’s always consistently good.
If you haven’t already definitely check out the breakfast tacos. If you head up to the counter, the custom make them for you.
I love the Rudy's atmosphere. Staff is always really helpful. They are not the best texas on BBQ, but they definitely always deliver consistency and very delicious food.
Their cream corn is spectacular; as is the moist brisket.
The moist brisket was amazing! So juicy! The mashed potatos, pulled pork, and ribs were also great! Ribs fell right off the bone
Ate breakfast here 2 days in a row because the brisket, egg, and cheese tacos were that good! If the breakfast is that great, I just know the whole menu is worth every penny. They also have a nice variety of delicious bottled drinks. I tried the strawberry limeade and the peach lemonade and they were good to the last drop! 10/10 for sure.
Got recommended to check out Rudy's when we picked up our rental car from Easirent, as soon as we walked in the manager, James, greeted us and gave us a quick tour and answered all our questions we had about the place. After showing us where to order, Tim at the front gave us samples of all the options they could (brisket, brisket moist, and turkey) and gave us plenty of bread for sandwiches.
The moist brisket, chicken, and BBQ was great. Absolutely the best place to get BBQ without having to worry about paying an arm and a leg. Wish we had Rudy's back up north to get the quality and amount of food for the price.
It's one of our favorite Rudy's locations. We never miss a stop here whenever we are in the area. The staff is PHENOMENAL and we always experience exceptional customer service. The establishment is always clean and parking is never an issue.
From their breakfast tacos to their lunch and dinner servings, the food at Rudy's is always spectacular, and their banana pudding hits the spot to finish off an exceptional meal.
We are a huge fan of their breakfast tacos and have tried most of them. I highly recommend their brisket taco and pigs in a blanket with cheese.
Be sure to stop on in!
An Austin classic! Truly some of the best breakfast tacos around and quick service barbecue you can get.

Love these guys. I get their green chili stew twice a week, take it home and cut it by half with Central Market turkey stock for an easy, delicious, healthy low-cal meal. I love that their cashiers always recognize me too, and even notice when I haven't been in for a while.
The locals bbq place. Yes, I experienced delicious authentic bbq. Cooked in wood fire oak smoke bbq ovens for 12 hours overnight, daily. Always fresh meats and chickens, brisket and prime rib. The prime rib is truly memorable. ;) The location does not have a freezer. Staff very helpful and friendly. Everything is immaculate, including restrooms. I spoke with staff member tending to a restroom, he has been with company 16 years. Solid bbq, solid staff. -- Enjoy - J
I used to not like Rudy's. I think something about both the service and food has become better. The food is consistently good and the sauce has the vinegar quality I like rather than the sweet and thick Texas style I have grown to dislike. I like the fridge full of sides as you approach the line and the service staff is both friendly and knowledgeable, always up for personal recommendations. The place is always very clean and everyone in house--working or not... Seems happy.
