Rudy's BBQ is the Real Deal Installment number one, of what will hopefully be a long, drawn out, series of reviews spanning decades (because there are so many bbq joints to hit in TX) reviewing BBQ spots in Texas. This really should be installment number two, Green Mesquite, being number one, but Rudy’s is fresh on my mind so it goes first. Rudy’s on 360, Austin, TX Seeing how we live very close to Rudy’s on Loop 360 it got the nod today for our family BBQ outing. We had planned on heading out to the famous Salt Lick, but seeing how it was 35 degrees at 1:30, we opted for something closer and that we knew had indoor seating. I did a quick peek at some reviews of Rudy’s on Yelp and I quickly became very excited about our choice. Rudy’s has some 27 locations spread across Texas , and from what I understand, they all have gas stations attached to them….clearly something that probably wouldn’t fly back in Cali. We walked in and were greeted with a “welcome y’all” from one of the girls behind the cash register and while extremely friendly, it threw us off a bit. You see, there are cash registers to the left as you walk in, but there is an ordering corral (like the security line at the airport) weaving back and forth up to a counter manned by 5 or 6 people. Danielle blurted out, “this is our first time here.” The girl told us to head up threw the line to our right and they will take care of us…she also mentioned that we should tell the person helping us that it was our first time
