Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q

Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q is a barbecue restaurant established in Leon Springs, a district of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas in 1989. The company currently operates restaurants in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado and sells products via its web site under the slogan "the wurst bar-b-q in Texas."

Rudy's was established by Rudolph Aue in Leon Springs, Texas (now a part of San Antonio, Texas) in 1929 as a combination business consisting of a filling station, automobile repair shop, and grocery store. In 1989 Rudolph added barbecue to the food menu, combining the grocery and new restaurant element to make a "country store" feel. Their signature barbecue consists of 100% oak wood smoked meats rather than the usual Texas Mesquite smoke, and special in-house spices.

Rudy's later expanded to 34 locations through the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Now more of a self-service sit down restaurant style establishment, the retail store portion usually consists of a small corner of each location. The company's head offices are currently located in Lakeway, Texas.

Rudy's prides itself on its brisket, but also serves beef, turkey, pulled pork, ribs, sausages and breakfast tacos. Sides include coleslaw, pickled carrots, stew, creamed corn, Potato Salad, baked potatoes and bread by the whole or half loaf. Soda and beer are sold as beverages, and both feature regional selections.
