Plain and simple. This place rocks. Rudy's is one of the top-three BBQ joints I've had the pleasure of eating at. I love this place.
I walked in and was greeted by a big cooler to the right of the food line that contained many ice-cold beers. What do I normally do when I eat BBQ in Texas? I accompany it with a Shiner Bock - one of Texas' own fine beers.
The employees gave me a sample of the smoked turkey. For my sides, I went with the beans and creamed corn (damn, this was good), I ordered brisket, ribs, and chicken. Yup. I ate all of it, too. That food went well with the Shiner Bock. Their sauce was very good...Too bad I didn't buy some to bring back to the East Coast.
This place makes PERFECT BBQ. When you walk into this place, you'll see what looks like a chimney. It's a chimney alright. A chimney that has mesquite running through it after it has seasoned the pit with its beautiful flavor.
I liked the rustic environment and how they give you a loaf of bread. Yes, an entire loaf of sliced white bread! Insane.
I'd definitely go back the next time I visit San Antonio.
It's been 10 years since I was last in Texas and still crave Rudy's. Thanks for your post, it made my mouth water. www.worldfamilytravellers.blogspot.com
