Friendly staff at this location. Moist brisket was a good choice. Loaded potatoe with single meat and double meat were the exact same size for some reason but didn't bug them about it.

Good "brisket moist", ribs were tender but minimal meat, pulled pork good as it is most everywhere. Sausage ok. Potato salad was excellent, cole slaw and baked beans just ok. Banana pudding is good. Pecan pie is a joke - tiny and cold. Peach cobbler is served warm, but mostly just pie crust and very few peaches. I’d go again for the meats, but skip the desserts. Bottles of soda and beer available, plus a soft drink machine.

Great food, staff, and atmosphere. The fuel is just a little bit higher than I like to pay. A few cents more than buc-ee's is worth every penny. The barbecue is far superior, and a nice place to sit down and eat, with fresh pickles and onions as well as outstanding coleslaw and sweetened tea. Thanks Rudy's, you make my road trip very pleasant!

We each had a brisket sandwich with Rudy's BBQ sauce. $8.99 each. I thought this was a sit-down restaurant. It's not. You go up to the counter & order your food. Very fast! Very good. We tried their chocolate pudding dessert. It was good - if you like pudding. We stopped here because of their excellent reviews. They did not disappoint. If you're in the area and want barbecue, this is a great place to go
