Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q — Restaurant in Austin

Manager James so right away when I walk in he’s staring at me and he’s running his mouth to the other manager about me being a man in a dress and a faggot yes I am transgender so therefore he was speaking on me as soon as I walk up he proceeds to walk away comes around the backside of the restaurant where the delivery is proceeds to stare at me so we’re having a staring contest because no one‘s going to intimidate me so then he moves and stand behind the wall and still continue to talk about me and people over here him as in when I walked in people overheard him which one of my home girls works there and tells proceeds to tell me when I walk up not giving a name because I don’t want her to lose her job so therefore people long story short if you’re gonna be racist homophobic please be aware of your surroundings and who’s recording you so if corporate Rudy’s will not fix this issue I will be contacting Attorney due to the damaging information I have on him and the recordings that I’ve received in the past about him being homophobic and racist slurs lol the nice young man that helps me Ask me have you been to our other location and I said no not him or no one can run me off just because of their homophobic and racist ways this is a joke u live in American and not only that austin I hope they address this soon pics of him still Slandering me as u can see female manager also Engaging in nonsense and...

I'm a huge Rudy's fan. When other BBQ enthusiasts downplay Rudy's BBQ, I'm always quick to point out the solid, consistent BBQ, fun, lively atmosphere, and great value. For first-timers, it's a wonderful introduction to Texas BBQ experience. We always take our out of town guests here, and we love going here just the same!

Food: Order the "extra moist" brisket, a half link of sausage, and wash it down with some sweet tea. Also, save room for the peach cobbler with Blue Bell ice-cream! If you're into sides, we love the cream corn and new potatoes, which is like buttery bite size pieces of potato. So tasty!

The service here has been friendly and excellent as of late. A few months back, I did have bad experience that was not like the friendly Rudy's experience that my family has come to enjoy, but the management handled it with grace and professional tact. Honestly, that manager is the sole reason why I gave this location another shot. My experience today was stellar, and I can't wait to enjoy this Rudy's location for many years to come! We had such a wonderful time this evening!

This Rudy's location also features a nice separate dining area that I'm assuming you can reserve or rent as well for group events.

Also worth mentioning: The bus boy staff here is superb. Very attentive and kindly offered to help our family with the high chair. It didn't...

Curbside pick up was awesome! Loved it. So fast & efficient! I waited less than 2 min.!

Spareribs were perfection, moist brisket was delicious, & my 1/2 lb. prime rib was overcooked ( I asked for rare-as-possible... didn't happen). Sadly, I got a notice that my order for 3:15 was ready at like 1:40. I was hoping this was a mistake... but no. They were too on the ball today. The meat was lukewarm when I picked up at 3:05.😟 Ended up giving the prime rib to my outrageously lucky dogs when I got home, only because it got hot during my travels around town & getting home, despite being placed in a cooler bag (couple hours of running around Austin in 95°+ will do that). It just wouldn't have been human safe as hot as it got. Just wish it had been more rare (tender) & warm when I got it. I'd have eaten it on the spot, if it was. I know I drooled when I saw it, but was disappointed when I took my only bite.

I do recommend Rudy's sause ( I'm on Keto so I only tried a small taste), spareribs, & moist brisket!! Just not the prime rib, unless you're there in person to ask for your...
