Get the moist brisket and St. Louis ribs. You cannot go wrong! A plus and friendly staff. If you tell them it's your first time they let you sample the goods!

Our group from Wisconsin visited; great service, shout outs as a welcome, and some of the best bar-b-q we've ever eaten. Get cream corn as one of your sides. When in Austin again, we'll be back!

Awesome extra moist brisket. If you haven't been to Rudy's before then tell them as you're placing the order to sample all meats.

Cream corn...yum! I knew this place was on the top 10 Bar B Q list and can see why. Great service, atmosphere, & bar b q.. Winner if the Malcolm Baldridge Award...bug said!

Everything we got was delicious! The cream corn and moist brisket were especially good. The staff was the best of any Texas BBQ joint we have been to yet!

Extra moist brisket is a must! Appreciated the Rookie sampler (tell 'em it's your first time). Ran out of Big Red, def a bummer. Would return!

Gotta get there by 10am for the breakfast tacos! (Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with the pre-made ones under the heat lamp with none of the fixins.)

Not fancy, but reliably tasty BBQ served by friendly folks. I always go with the moist brisket and sausage. The creamed corn is my go-to side.
Tony LopezNovember 25, 2015
Simply awesome barbeque, be it ribs, brisket or sausage. We go whenever we have guests from out of state because it's so Texas and never disappoints.

Good brisket and or sausage sandwiches. I usually get one of h to see with potato salad and a banana pudding or Oreo cup

Dog friendly tip: note that dogs are not allowed on the patio, but there is a great, big picnic area behind it for you and your pooch.

A great representation of TX BBQ. The pork loin is a under appreciated option here worth a 1/4 pound to taste. You will order it again

Rudy’s is still my favorite barbecue place, no matter how fancy and popular some others are.
Social News NetworkJune 16, 2012
If it is your first time going, tell them and they will let you try everything before you order. No matter what you choose, you have to get the cream corn.
Rich GallagherOctober 29, 2011
One of the best BBQ experiences in the area is, yes, in a gas station. Order some extra moist brisket, some sausage, and some turkey and slather it all in some Rudy's sauce.
Jimmy RiderMay 6, 2011
Great Texas BBQ - visiting from Australia we were given a full explanation and tasting of food on offer , before we ordered - Delicious Brisket ( Moist ) and Cream Corn mmmmmmm do yourself a favor !

This is a must-go in Austin. Our cashier Shaq may have been the nicest man I've ever met. And don't forget to wash your hands in the hand wash machine.
Marker WMay 23, 2011
Great BBQ for a gas station....County Line is better but being from the north any BBQ is better than what we have... Nice people though very friendly. I with the stop...for sure!
Mitch LewandowskiDecember 29, 2014
Get the extra moist brisket and the creamed corn. Make sure to wash your hands! :)
Craig WingersonSeptember 4, 2015
Probably the best BBQ I've ever had. Friendly service and generous portions. Plus super fun hand washers with stickers!
Jen MugfordJanuary 8, 2017
The best is the moist brisket, try the cream corn.
Abner AcevesFebruary 15, 2015
Gas station BBQ spots are the best thing ever. Bring some friends sit out back. Go for the brisket!!

Consistanly one of the best BBQ places around! My fave is the brisket extra leas and lots of black. Cream corn and beans are great too. It would be nice to have more seating with A/C.

1/2 pound brisket... extra lean is awesome, but if you don't mind the fat, then go for cutter's choice... and get some creamed corn behind the counter!
TriciaFebruary 6, 2014
You haven't had damn good brisket until you've had it 'moist' at Rudy's!
Diane KennedyOctober 8, 2015
Get the extra moist brisket......the lean is just not Texas brisket....worth the extra calories!
Erin JueMarch 18, 2017
My favorite meat is the brisket! The banana pudding and creamed corn are delicious!!
Lady GunterSeptember 3, 2011

Get the moist brisket. It's the best, the best. Love Rudy's and try to eat outside in the back picnic area.

BYOB!! Bring your own blanket. Large grassy area for a nice romantic picnic.

Gerry ADecember 31, 2012
I'm not from TX so this is by far the best BBQ I've had in my life... Will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Order a half pound of anything, then ask for a loaf of bread. Explain you eat one piece of meat per bread and theyll look at you funny then give you enough bread to feed you all week. The end...
SheilaOctober 9, 2016
My favorite BBQ in Austin. Minimal wait. Amazing food. Great for groups.
JeremyMarch 14, 2010
I've tried just about all of Austin's BBQ, and trust me, if you can get here, it's the BEST. Go "Cutter's Choice" and St. Louis style Ribs with Beans. Buy a bottle of "Sause" to go!

My second home! You can't go wrong here. I recommend the chicken or the chopped beef. And you have to close with some pudding y'all.

Chopped, egg and cheese = heaven! And their extra moist is my favorite brisket in all of the great state of Texas!!
Nick ScottFebruary 21, 2017
Some of the best 'fast bbq' in the state and of course the mythic rudys sauce

A quarter lb of chopped beef will make you two good sized sandwiches, pair that with a side of their potato salad. delicious and less than $5
Dustin HaleyFebruary 9, 2015
Great bbq for lunch and dinner, but surprisingly good breakfast tacos!
Oz LublingFebruary 10, 2017
Hidden in a random gas station, this place has the best brisket in austin.
