I'll preface this by saying I'd never been to a Rudy's before and Texas BBQ is my least favorite of the 4 major BBQ's (not a huge fan of brisket). My friends and I had heard Rudy's opened up a restaurant in Chandler and that it was supposed to be great. We decided to brave the line about a week ago and give it a whirl. I must say, it was definitely worth the wait!
I went with the St. Louis style ribs and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The meat came off with a fork, just the way it's supposed to. As a side I ordered the green chile stew. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Friends went with the lean brisket, the chicken, and a brisket sandwich. We all enjoyed everything. The beer selection was good and it was nice that you could grab it while waiting in line. We also liked that you put the sauce on yourself, deciding how much or how little you wanted.
Only 4 stars (or probably 3.5 really), because they were OUT of pulled pork! No pulled pork? We couldn't believe it. That and the sides were just okay: we had the stew, the cole slaw, and potato salad.
