    Combo platter
    Patrick S.

    Not pretentious, this is a joke in the lunch place for the working crowd. The combo plate is worthy of high praise. The meat is tender and fresh, the salad is full of goodness and the beans are delicious. This place is a great place for lunch

    This was Half of my lunch BBQ brisket plate that I couldn't finish!
    Kristine P.

    Great little Lunch spot when you don't have a lot of money and you don't have a lot of time! I wish I had come sooner because it is so close to my job but found it on Yelp after doing a search for nearby lunch hot spots. Good Quality food at seriously great prices... You can't beat that! I will definitely be back to try some other items on their menu but the barbecue brisket lunch is worth a good recommendation! You won't be disappointed!

    Chef Salad with Chicken
    Kei V.

    This place was recommended by a coworker and its a 3min drive from my office, its great that they have lunch specials that change every weeks to keep it interesting also prices are very affordable. Everything I've tried I've loved, also all employees are suuuupee nice! I go there prob too much :)

    Pulled pork special. $5.50!
    Chris B.

    The food was pretty good and the special was $5.50. It's a small space so probably not great for a group although I hear they cater. No complaints other than having to order from the register and then come back to pay after your done eating.

Great service as soon as you enter. The young staff were super nice and polite...great job by them. The indoor space (with cold AC to fight the Arizona heat) is small but clean and comfortable. They also have outdoor seating with fans and mist to cool you off. I took my order back to the hotel. Let me tell you, the food is phenomenal. That brisket was so moist and perfectly seasoned...gosh it was so good! The pulled pork was fantastic as well. The potato salad was great and definitely made on-site, not from a bag. The beans were really good too. I was really impressed with their offerings and will definitely go back on my next trip to Arizona.

So we decided to try it out, did an online order for takeout. I had the brisket and pulled pork. Both were amazing. My sides was Maggie's Mac n Cheese. It's was sooo good. My roommate got the salmon, pulled pork and the Mac n cheese. She said it was very tasty. Both of tried the peach cobbler, and both agreed it's the best we've had. The woman that got my order together was very nice and informative. Do not remember her name. But the initials GD were on the first time card she gave us.. We will definitely be back. also love the fact they support the armed forces and first responders.

Had a good score (4.7) so we decided to give it a shot Nice place inside. Decorated with veterans in mind. Has a similar setup to Rudy's where you order/pay up front and they call you up when it's ready. Was kind of worried because the place didn't smell like bbq. Ordered the turkey and jalapeno sausage with a side of bbq beans. Has a selection of six different bbq sauces at the table. I wasn't too impressed with any of them. There is a mustard sauce up by the drinks that was pretty tasty tho. The turkey was dry. The sausage had decent spices but the skin was a little tough. Neither had a bbq/smoky taste. The beans tasted like canned pork and beans with sugar and bits of brisket added. All and all I wasn't too impressed and probably won't be back. The staff was friendly and helpful and I was hoping it would be better

Before we get started, let's talk about the sauce. IMHO, the sauce flavor is what will make or break a BBQ joint. I'm very particular so you may have a different flavor profile than me but their house sauce is 11/10. Perfect. Perfect. First up was the pork. Excellent. I would like a little more bark but it was great. If you like pulled pork, you will be happy. Next was the 707 sausage. A little dry but the spice was perfect.

Mac n cheese, beans, cornbread. Nicely done. Not so good: wanted to try the supposed daily special of brisket/ burnt end sausage. They only had chicken, so I passed. One gent had the turkey, was told it was fresh roasted, he swears it was some kind of deli turkey, not slices off the breast. Iced tea tasted like bad tap water, a pet peeve expressed by all. One of us ordered the butter cake 11$. Was not pleased with it at all. Service was okay. Comfortable table & chairs. I still want to try the sausage, and definitely get more ribs.

The concept is simple: order your meat by the pound, pick your sides, grab a dessert, and snag a beer, specialty soda, or fountain drink on your way to the register. The dining room is basically a redneck cafeteria, and I mean that as a compliment. Long community tables, no table service, and everything is self-serve. Honestly, I prefer it that way. I can grab as much white bread as I want, refill my own drink, never have to flag someone down for napkins, and I've had some great conversations with other patrons. The brisket is consistently good, and I always order it moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is another favorite, but the baked beans deserve their own mention. They're loaded with bits of shredded pork that add both texture and smoky flavor, making them one of the better barbecue sides around. Rudy's is one of those chains that doesn't feel like a chain. The focus is on the meat, and it shows. It delivers the consistency you'd expect from a larger operation while still feeling like a neighborhood barbecue joint. That's not an easy balance to strike, but Rudy's pulls it off.
