Reviews for Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q in Austin, TX

Nov2022 : 5?: I would recommend this restaurant and this work crew. I stopped by this restaurant location as a result of... checking out the area for a decent place to get some BBQ. This location was fairly close to my hotel room and within walkingdistance from the hotel. When I located the restaurant, there were two fuel pumps in front of the main doors. There were twohandicapped parking spaces on the side of the building. There was no available parking in front because of the fuel pumps. Whenentering the front doors, there are drink serving machines to the immediate left. There were a couple of workers in the cornerto the immediate right. The entryway into the dining room was just passed the cashier on the right when entering the restaurant.One of the cashiers greeted me and gave instructions to the ordering food process. I asked for samples of popular meats andreceived the samples. Each of the meats were pretty good in their own way. The meats were sold in half pound increments. I triedthe chopped beef and it was a red buzzer for my taste buds and it was not spicy. The types of brisket were sampled and oneselected. The ribs were not a part of the sampled meat, but I chose some anyway. This was a different set up than I wasaccustomed to, but it obviously works for this location. Read more

Great store and layout! I was initially disappointed by there not being a drive thru, but the store layout to quickly grab a... drink and prepackaged item was AWESOME! The quality and quantity is always great taste and flavor! Thanks for keeping itconsistent Rudy?s!! Read more

Let down after this recent visit to Rudy?s. This location was one of my favorites since I first moved here 5 years ago. The... brisket was on point and the chicken was JUICY. This was definitely not the case today. The moist usually has flavor, that?smissing. The chicken was dry, burnt, and doesn?t taste taste as good anymore. Ribs even missed the mark. Sausage def not whatI?m use to be. Turkey isn?t as good as it was while juicy just isn?t tasty. Sides at least were consistent and staff is superfriendly as always. Called and confirmed they went corporate. Guess they are going for mediocre bbq now. Read more

Takeout at our once favorite branch at Research Blvd, used to served the best texture juicy BBQ. Kinda disappointed with the... meats today. The briskets is not juicy moist like before, texture is dry and tough. The baby back ribs is disappointing too asthe fats is lingering thick on the ribs, dry and tough, less flavorful too. Wonder is the previous pit master has left ortransferred to other branch. There is definitely rooms for improvements. Read more

Good BBQ can be found here at this location of the Rudy's chain. Fast & friendly service with pork, turkey, and beef... options. Coffee & alcoholic beverages are available. Read more

We had the pork ribs, brisket, potato salad, and peach cobbler. Overall we were impressed with everything. The ribs were... AMAZING and the peach cobbler was very good too! The brisket was good but I would have preferred more ribs over getting thebrisket. And finally the potato salad was a good standard version. Read more

Pretty good bbq. Great service. Free bread. Has diet Dr Pepper in fountain. The cream corn was really different from what I am... used to. I think it was literally corn with cream, like cereal. Pretty weird. Read more

We had an excellent experience in one of the best BBQ in town. It was fast to order and prices were reasonable. We recommend the... prime rib as well as the brisket moist. Also try their delicious BBQ sauce Read more
