San Antonio BBQ at Rudy’s
We ate the other day at Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ near the intersection I-35 and Loop 1604. When you pull in at first all you notice are the gas pumps in the front. Then you get out of your car and smell the wood smoke from the cooker–that always smells good. They have a small store inside with drinks and ice cream, and lots of tables for the hungry people who frequent this “restaurant” probably very frequently.
We got their baby back ribs, which had a dry rub on them and it was pretty spicy. I’d have to say (in my opinion) that these ribs weren’t nearly as good as Corky’s in Gatlinburg. However, they had great creamed corn (yum!) and potato salad and they gave us a sample of their sausage, which was very good also. I may have to try the brisket next time . . . They love the military there and came around to thank everyone in our group for their service to our country. And, they offer a nice military discount. A definite thumbs-up to Rudy’s!
