Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q

Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q in Austin delivers a true Texas BBQ experience with a playful spirit and legendary flavors. Founded originally as a combination gas station and grocery in 1929, Rudy’s later transformed into a beloved barbecue brand known for its casual, welcoming atmosphere and classic country store charm.

1. Authentic Oak-Smoked BBQ: Rudy’s signature flavor comes from slow-smoking meats over 100% oak wood, setting it apart from the typical Texas mesquite. Expect tender brisket, peppery ribs, juicy turkey, chicken, sausage, and more—each dish packed with robust, smoky flavor.
2. Classic Sides & Sauces: Pair your barbecue feast with creamy coleslaw, spicy pinto beans, new potatoes, and their famous creamed corn. Don’t miss Rudy’s signature “Sause”—a tangy, peppery barbecue sauce adored by fans and available for purchase.
3. No-Frills, All-Fun Setting: Step inside and you’ll find heaping platters dished out cafeteria-style, indoor picnic tables, and a self-serve, laid-back vibe. The country store corner offers bottled sauces, rubs, Texas goodies, and fun souvenirs.
4. Breakfast Tacos & More: Mornings at Rudy’s start early with made-to-order breakfast tacos—perfect for a hearty start before tackling the day.
5. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Whether you’re a barbecue newbie or a brisket connoisseur, Rudy’s is a place for everyone. Gather with friends and family, enjoy the aroma of oak smoke, and dig in!
