After much hype from co-workers, I stopped by for a mid-week dinner. First off, the vibe as soon as you walk in it that of a lunch joint. It basically looks like a cafeteria. You shuffle through line and select drinks and sides from the cooler on your way to the counter. Once there, you order and food comes up pretty fast. The food is served on wax paper, and there are no plates. Also, no silverware, just plastic utensils. This may be a traditional way to serve BBQ, but when it comes time to cut your brisket, an actual plate and silverware would be nice. I ended up getting more than one bite with wax paper stuck to the bottom of the brisket.
I ordered the Jalapeno sausage, lean brisket, and corn on the cob. The sausage was excellent, but again difficult to cut with a plastic knife. I should have ordered the moist brisket, because the lean brisket was very dry. The corn was over-cooked and over-buttered. They have a couple BBQ sauces, neither of which were anything to write home about. They don't sell corn bread... that's right, no corn bread! Overall I was not impressed with the food at all.
Service was friendly, and they clear your table when they see empty plates... sorry empty wax papers. Prices are reasonable. Rudy's seems like a good spot for lunch BBQ, but don't expect excellence here.
