Rudy's isn't the best barbecue you'll ever eat, but this Texas chain is probably the best chain barbecue in the nation. The first time I ate at a Rudy's was actually the original store in the Hill Country down by San Antonio. My wife said, "There's no way I'm eating barbecue from a gas station." I pulled in anyways and told her I'd take her wherever she wanted to go after I got my order. After walking in, she ate there too. This chain has excellent grub and damn good sauce. I bought a bottle of that sauce to send to my buddy in Idaho today.
