Rudy's 'Country Store' and Bar-B-Q at 11570 Research Blvd in Austin delivers classic Texas barbecue with a straightforward menu of smoked meats, sandwiches, breakfast tacos, hearty sides, desserts, and refreshing drinks. Brisket, moist brisket, baby back ribs, turkey breast, sausage, spicy chopped beef, and prime rib are among the standout choices, with meats available by weight for easy sharing.
Current prices start around $9 for many sandwiches, while a half-pound of brisket is about $14 and moist brisket about $16.50. Ordering by weight provides flexibility and good value for both individual meals and groups. Slow smoking creates tender meat, deep savory flavor, and a pronounced smoky exterior, while Rudy's barbecue sauce adds a tangy-sweet finish.
Vegetarian options are mostly sides, including jumbo smoked potatoes, beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and three-bean salad. Rudy's publishes detailed allergen information, and several meats and sides contain no wheat ingredients, though guests with strict gluten restrictions should confirm preparation and cross-contact. Turkey and vegetable sides offer lighter choices, while mild meats, potatoes, and desserts are approachable for children.
Breakfast tacos make Rudy's suitable for mornings, while barbecue sandwiches and meat plates work equally well for lunch, dinner, takeout, family meals, catering, and large group gatherings.
Menu Highlights
Moist Brisket
Richly marbled brisket is slowly smoked until exceptionally tender and juicy, with a smoky bark around the edges. Its fuller flavor and buttery texture make it one of Rudy's most distinctive Texas barbecue choices.
Brisket
Classic smoked beef brisket delivers a firmer, leaner bite while retaining plenty of wood-smoked flavor. Sold by weight, it is easy to enjoy alone or combine with other meats for a shared barbecue spread.
Baby Back Ribs
Baby back ribs are slow-smoked until tender, creating juicy meat with a savory, smoky exterior. Their satisfying texture makes them a natural choice for diners looking for traditional barbecue.
Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage
Smoked sausage combines savory meat with cheddar richness and a touch of jalapeño heat. The juicy interior and lightly spicy finish make it more distinctive than a standard sausage link.
Spicy Chop Sandwich
Chopped smoked beef is served on a soft bun with a bold, slightly spicy barbecue character. The tender meat and sauce-soaked texture make it a flavorful and affordable lunch option.
Jumbo Smoked Potato with Meat
A large smoked potato is loaded with a choice of barbecue meat for a substantial meal with fluffy potato and smoky protein in every bite. It offers a satisfying alternative to a traditional sandwich or meat plate.
Breakfast Taco
Made-to-order breakfast tacos can be customized with eggs, bacon, brisket, sausage, potatoes, beans, and cheese. Their flexible fillings and affordable pricing make them an especially popular way to enjoy Rudy's barbecue flavors in the morning.
