    I like this place. It was my first time there. The brisket sandwich I got was really good. I like how they give you samples of the food that you're ordering. They have a big condiments bar where you can get peppers , pickles and jalapeños from. They have big bottles of their signature bbq sauces at the tables with plenty of napkins as well. If I am ever back in El Paso I will have to go here again.

    All Rudy's are not the same. I've been to Rudy's in Phoenix several times, and I absolutely love it. I was super stoked when I saw Rudy's within walking distance of my hotel here in El Paso. I got babyback ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and a regular sausage. The pulled pork was pretty good, but the rest of the food was sub-par and luke warm at best, and the sausage was actually cold. I will not be back to this Rudy's.

    The service is amazing, the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is cool and trendy for a bbq restaurant! Highly recommended these amazing folks for all your bbq needs

    Rudy's BBQ is always solid at every location, and this is certainly the case at this El Paso spot! I throughly enjoyed their lean brisket, creamed corn, and potato salad this time around. Its hard to beat Texan bbq!

    Absolutely love Rudy's! It's one of my go-to spots here in El Paso. There are 3 Rudy's here in fact. Each one just as good as the other. Rudy's is both a gas station and a BBQ joint. So you can fill up the tank, and fill up your gut. They offer brisket, smoked turkey, sausage, breakfast burritos, sandwiches, loaded baked potatoes... and much more. They charge by weight. So you approach the counter, tell em what ya want, and they gather it and weigh it and that's that. They also offer a military discount for the Soldiers out there. Their moist brisket is my absolute favorite. I can eat that stuffed in a potato, use it to make a sandwich, eat it with eggs and cheese in a breakfast burrito, or even just knife and fork eat it by itself. It's so juicy and fatty and cooked perfectly. So much flavor. And they have some good, house made sauces to go with it. I normally get a pound of moist brisket. Take it home, and use it to make brisket sandwiches using Chibata rolls and cheddar. It'll feed me two dinners or two lunches for about two days. The one pound can get ya about 4 sandwiches. Love Rudy's. Great West Texas BBQ

    Wanted to sample both. Didn't expect shelf labels.

    Even though I see these places everywhere in El Paso, I honestly don't know why everyone loves them so much. So naturally, I had to pop my head in here and sample a couple of breakfast tacos. I mean, they advertise these things in big yellow letters on the front of their window. So, today I tried both the bacon, egg and cheese taco and the potato, egg and cheese taco to see which one I'd like better (I do this sort of thing a lot more often than I'd like to admit in public). The first thing I noticed which also caught me off guard was the packaging. Looked like one of those burritos you'd find at a gas station convenience store, nutrition label and all. As if that wasn't weird enough, the bacon taco tasted like said bacon was once dipped in BBQ sauce. Or perhaps it was just way too salty for my "old man" taste buds. Whatever the case, I'd give it a 5 out of 10. Now, when I first started tasting the potato taco, I thought it was a bit bland. Then I continued eating....and the taste somehow grew on me. How is this possible?? What IS this sorcery? I dunno....but I kinda dig the subtly here. Perhaps it was just a nice refresher from the over salted bacon taco. That's not to say the potato taco couldn't use a pinch of salt and pepper. It's like they steamed the potatoes and then wrapped them in a burrito with egg beaters and cheese. Yet strangely, I prefer these over the bacon taco (yeah, I said it. fight me!). I'm giving the potato taco 6 out of 10. Not great....but not bad either, if you're drunk. Rudy's menu is simple and very fairly priced. I also like the interior setup and how their pay system is setup for chip cards. There's even an option to get paperless receipts sent to your email. The decorum is extremely roomy and inviting, if you're into BBQ places. As for me, this is pretty much the only thing I'd order here. I'm not much of a brisket fan, but theirs is decent enough, from what I've read. All in all, I'd give Rudy's 3 salty bacon tacos with a hint of BBQ sauce in the back of your throat out of 5.

    Jumbo Smoked Potato with Meat (Brisket) with side of Coleslaw.

    Good quality simple BBQ with drive thru option. Really good customer service I was impressed how fast I received my order through the drive thru. The food was nicely packed served hot and they hooked up all the sides options in baggies. I must say the coleslaw and potato salad were delicious. Moist brisket did not disappoint. The jumbo smoked potato was good but still a bit on the hard side. Either way I really enjoyed it. Great over all family friendly place and recommend it to anyone driving by.

    Who knew that a dive bar in El Paso would have honestly legit bbq? When I went to 915 Vibes they…read moretold me they had opened another bar called The Lucky Dog and it had smoked meats. I was intrigued because most bar food was fried and greasy. When my brother in law came to town, I wanted him to experience the welcoming down to earth nature of the bars here (where families go out to drink together) and I was curious about the food. Wow. The bbq and brisket is legit. They have a smoker (locked up for some reason) that they smoke meat in every day and the results are super tender bbq and meats. They have a super clean full kitchen in the back (I asked to peek and thank the cooks) and they do some legit restaurant food here. The menu is pretty simple, the prices are super fair for the amount of food you get. We were 8 adults and it fed us all easily. We got nachos, zucchini sticks, onion ring petals, the brisket sandwich, and the ribs plate with beans and fries. We also got a lot of beer and shots to celebrate my in laws moving here. Happy Hour is from 12-8pm $2 Domestics = Miller/Bud/bud light /coors $3 Well Service was very friendly and the crowd was too, it seems that everyone was friends with each other which is nice to introduce to my out of town guests. Hubby remarked that the music wasn't obnoxiously loud and eclectic, probably because they have a jukebox system. We left when the dj arrived because we're old and have kids to pickup, but the others stayed to enjoy it turn up. I really like the bars here in El Paso, especially ones like the Lucky Dog which has awesome food. The meats were a little fatty but super tender, but hubby said it's actually good for soaking up booze if you want to sober up before leaving. Check them out, they're a month new, and #supportlocal.

The place had a very nice vibe and seemed very popular. Classy decor but casual feel. The enclosed glass wine cooler was amazing to see. The wine glasses.... Well everything in TX is bigger. They were goblets and so pretty. Our server was Viviana, who was very sweet and polite. The bread was so soft and hot. But so much for two people, I felt bad not eating it all. One loaf would have been enough. I ordered a cucumber drink w/o alcohol: SO good. Mango salad with chicken for me. He had steak, lobster tail and a glass of Austin Hope red wine. Food was delicious! Next time we are in El Paso- we're coming back and making reservations to guarantee a seat. Plenty of parking but... people can't see nor pay attention to the faded arrows on the ground showing which way to go.

I got a root beer, a small combo with brisket and of course some honey glazed spare ribs, green beans and corn on the cob. Though I haven been here In several months I could have swore it used to be a whole ear of corn in the past, not a cobette. I also wanted an appetizer to start of some of their fried mushrooms with gravy instead of ranch. My drink came right away, it was ice cold and the Root Beer right on point. Then I waited. And waited. And waited. Wondering after about 10 minutes now or so where my mushrooms were.... Waited a little more ... and out came my entree. With apologies, some mix up in the kitchen and mushrooms ??? So I said to cancel them, because I wanted them as an appetizer, to eat beforehand. So now that my food had arrived, I no longer needed them. So my waiter said he would. So I'm buttering my corn. Salt and peppering it, trying my green beans (so good, but needed some salt and pepper too), opening this tiny maybe 2oz thimble full of bbq sauce for all that meat on my plate, taking a bite out of my first spare rib and another gentleman shows up with a basket of mushrooms and ranch. Apologizing that mine actually got sent to another table so they had to make mine again. I chew the rib chunk in my mouth and tell him that I had cancelled them already because they were to be an appetizer. And I already had my food. He again apologized and asked could he just give them to me, after all they were already made, I told him i didn't want him to have to do that but he insisted. So I agreed. I didn't know how many I might eat now, I was already out of the notion. But it was nice of him to comp them and leave them. So my food. Ribs were amazing. As always. My brisket was either the first cut or last cut on the board. It was more like burnt ends. I had no nice slices of brisket. Everything was black tough char. Some small outer slices, some outer chunks. All crusted and black. I just kept telling myself, this must be what burnt ends are like! And used sauce to try and moisten it... but on most of it, that was impossible. It was hard, tough, hard to chew. Very flavorful for what it was and I have pretty good teeth. But I got no nice softer moist slices. I didn't complain, I just soldiered on and ate it all. My ribs were so good, this day I wish I'd just gotten them. The corn was very nice and kernels popped when you bit into them but they were cold? The cobette would not melt butter. I've never had that issue before. The mushrooms were piping hot so I could tell they were fresh made. But I only ate about 5. I was all about my plate by the time it came. So this wasn't 5 star visit this time. I will be back, they still have my favorite bbq sauce in town, it tastes like Central Texas Bbq Sauce. So the brisket and corn missed the mark this visit, normally they are both on point. And the Gentleman in the Red shirt went out of his way to correct a kitchen or other waitpersons mistake on my appetizer in a friendly quick manner and I greatly appreciate that. And I'll tell others. I think I'd say, don't serve customers all black first cuts or last cuts on brisket unless they ask for that, most of us are looking for some nice lean to moist tender slices when it comes to brisket, thank you.!
