Rudy's in Leon Springs, there are other locations but we like this one the best, has excellent Bar-B-Q. It's a gas station, country store (not like the cookie cutter stores at Cracker Barrel) and restaurant. Meats are purchased by weight, sides by size, grab cold drink from the ice trough and find a table. The cream corn side is a... more

Tender, lean brisket, outstanding sausage, very good ribs. I am 77 years old and have never had better. Outstanding flavor and reasonable pricing keep me coming back. more

Don't let the negative reviews fool you. This is about as authentic as it gets. Worth the drive from anywhere. Reasonable prices and quality bbq. Great family atmosphere and quick service a huge plus. Can't wait to go back. more

While in San Antonio on vacationin June, the 4 of us decided to go out for BBQ. So, we checked TA and Rudy's was rated the best. And, even though it was a ways out of town, we went there, based on the reviews. We had such high hopes, but almost everything was mediocre. Though, I did like the creamed... more

I read the reviews on Ruby's and was not disappointed. The Bbq was great.. Me and my family ordered the brisket (very tender, just right) and the creamed corn (the best I have ever tasted). It was a little ways from our hotel but very worth the drive. Would defiantely go there again. Its not a fancy place but just... more

I know there a lot of people that say good things about Rudy's, but I have never understood the popularity. The food is no better than average (for BBQ) and the atmosphere is "Old Convenience Store." And their prices are certainly not cheap. I've been there maybe 4 times, and was never impressed. There ARE many better BBQ places in... more

Rudy's is great--you order at the counter and they give you your meat in a piece of butcher paper. You grab a stack of bread and lay the spread out on your picnic table and go to town making sandwiches or just digging into the great, flavorfuly meat. I'm an Alabama boy and am partial to pork BBQ, but Texas... more

Loved it!

We stopped by to eat here because of the reviews and we were not disappointed. The guy behind the counter was very helpful with ordering when he found out we hadn't been there before. We had the brisket and creamed corn and beans which was more than enough. Unfortunately, it was cold so we had to eat inside but still... more

This place is awesome. You go thru a line and pic your beverage, then sides, then your meal and it is all served on a pop crate. The food is awesome. can't say any more than that. Picnic tables to sit at outside, it is fun! more

I was reluctant to venture to many BBQ joints in San Antonio because I'm used to Memphis pulled pork BBQ. I went to Rudy's and my reluctance was changed. Texas BBQ is a bit different as they use more dry rub and smoke the meats, but it as just as delicious as BBQ farther north. The experience is great at... more
