They let me sample the meats before ordering and I chose the brisket. It has a good smoked flavor, but a few of the thinner sliced pieces needed some sauce to help with dryness. The beans were average and the banana pudding was good. I liked the trays that they give you to get your food to the table. Staff was helpful and friendly.

So, this morning I decided I would stop by Rudy's and give them another chance, since they deliberately mess up my order almost every time I go. Well, to my surprise the same thing happened this morning. Hugely disappointing, a waste of time, and money. The only reason I like to try Rudy's for breakfast is they are one of the only places in town to get a brisket taco for breakfast. However, about the last 5 times that I have tried them over the last year, they make me wait a ridiculous amount of time in the drive through at 7:15 in the morning, after taking my order of 2 brisket, potato, egg, and cheese tacos. Then, when they finally come back to the window to hand me my order I get a smile and have a good day. Don't deliberately mess up my order, and then be condescending by wishing me a good day. Now, I'm at work and find once again, there is no brisket on my taco, but some nasty looking ham, and NO potatoes. So, don't waste your time, or money at Rudy's for breakfast! And for those of you who say I should have checked my order before leaving...I probably would have it hadn't of taken them 15 minutes of me waiting in the drive through. And, they have one job...! Do it! I took a picture of the nastiness they served, but there is no way to upload it. Well, isn't that convenient?

Breakfast taco bar anyone? ... Y'all! Let me tell you how amazing Rudy's was in helping host a "day after the wedding" brunch for our family! The BBQ breakfast taco bar was spectacular. Every single employee was amazing, courteous, helpful and went above and beyond! The set-up was perfect! We had different kinds of shredded brisket, various seasoned sausages, refried beans, eggs, bacon, toppings, sauces, coffee and drinks. 10/10 and a special shout out to Rudy's Amarillo GM Oscar Cavazos patiently worked with us throughout the whole process!

Friendly staff, not pushy, patient did not rush me to get order, gave me samplers to help decide what I want. Manager came around to each table making sure everything was good. Tables and BBQ bottles kept clean. I stayed at Comfort Suites and the agent there told me she eats at Rudy's all the time, best TX BBQ I ever had. I would go back when I get back in town. Thank you for the great experience Rudy.
