Quoted from Pickle:Rudy’s Is a chain....real Texans avoid chains.....
Skip Rudy’s and check out 3 Stacks...
I went to Rudy's about 2 years ago on a recommendation from a coworker. Shocked when I realized I was at a place that looked like a BBQ chain and had a freggin drive thru.
However, inside I was greeted with people taking out freshly smoked meats, chopping it up right there, and serving it. Ok, feeling a bit better.
Ribs were just ok. Brisket was surprisingly decent. But the Rudy's chop (basically a cup of all the bits that fall off, chili style) was F'ing amazing. I'd go back just for that.
I'll personally keep going to Railhead in Ft. Worth when I'm in the Dallas area, but in a pinch, I'd hit up Rudy's without any fight at all.
