If real Texas barbecue is what you’re after, Rudy’s is the place to go. The menu stays true to the foundations of barbecue with a variety of meats and traditional sides, plus there are a variety of old-fashioned, southern dessert options like peach cobbler, banana pudding, and buttermilk pie.
Unlike other barbecue restaurants, Rudy’s offers breakfast options and the spicy chop, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos are to die for. Originally a country store, Rudy’s still has a storefront where you can find all kinds of unique merchandise including barbecue-scented candles. With a huge presence in Texas, the chain boasts some 50 locations in at least six states.
