Rudy's Smokehouse - Pulled pork sandwich with scalloped potatoes and mac and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Take out, of the sampler. Carolina gold and bourbon sauces are my favorites. Thursday, the sampler is the special. The rib meat sticks to the rib bones, but still is moist and tender, I don't like it when it falls from the bone. All the meats are fantastic. Sausage is a little spicy and may have some cheese in it, wow. Greens are great, scalloped corn is a "cornbread casserole" which is great too, but a little on the sweeter side. The fella that took our order was so nice and helpful. Plenty of food for two! read more

I stopped in here today for lunch and was greeted at the register after a minute or two by a friendly and smiling face. The young lady was very helpful when I told that I had never been here before. She made some suggestions and talked about the specials. I decided on the spicy chicken but without the bun. It came with Cole slaw and pickles. I added a side of the brisket baked beans. I think the beans were my favorite thing and then the slaw. I was expecting a spicy pulled chicken but that wasn't the case. It was three tenders with a sauce on them. They were "ok" but I wouldn't get them again. They were not what I was expecting and not so spicy. I added their hot bbq sauce to them and that helped. Next time I'll go for the pulled pork or brisket. The restaurant was clean and inviting so it's worth another shot. read more

Service was great Had pulled pork and collard greens . Pull pork and sauces were very good Greens were ok. Music was good ,Temptations and Michael Jackson Played while we were there We would go back . read more

Amazing! Always stop her me when we have the opportunity. The food is delicious. One of our favorite bbq places.

Heard this is a must visit in Springfield so we stopped in. We didn't realize this was a counter service restaurant and our food came out quickly. The cornbread size was very generous, plenty to share. The baked beans were our favorite side and the pulled chicken had really nice flavor. read more

Ive lived in NC and I love bbq and this place understood the assignment! Went to Rudy's last night for dinner. Their special for the night was their sampler platter with toast, 2 sides, and 2 drinks for $25.99. Pulled pork, pulled chicken, turkey, brisket, sausage, and ribs with scalloped corn (more like corn pudding) and mac and cheese. Enough food for me and my boyfriend and leftovers for lunch for him!! I had to try the hush puppies, which were huge and had the perfect texture. Tea was freshly brewed. Sweet and Bourbon sauces were really good too. Ribs fell right off the bone cleanly. Service was extremely friendly! Will be back more often! read more

Great food and customer service. I wish I found the place sooner. The Card Lina sauce was very good as well.

Nice little place off the highway, saw a sign traveling thru and stopped for dinner. Meats are all smoked in-house as well as all sides made in-house. Staff were very friendly as well. If you're traveling I70 and going thru Springfield, Oh stop in check them out. read more

Food is unbelievable, service was great the ambiance of the restaurant was home feeling unlimited pickles! And they have franks red hot on deck! read more

Driving through and stopped in Springfield. Rudy's had good reviews but my wife is from Texas so it took some convincing...Totally Great Food! We got the Thursday night special on the Sampler Platter. More than enough for two people. Ribs fall off the bone but still have bite. Brisket absolutely rocks. Sausage totally zings. Scalloped corn is tasty and the hush puppies are easily among the best we've had anywhere-massive, buttery, hint of garlic, and soft like a corn muffin but definitely not greasy. Fries are chunky and perfectly done. They were busy but the manager on duty - Jeremiah - went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. read more

I got the pulled pork lunch combo. This came with a side and a drink. My pulled pork was cold but good. The sauce was excellent! The sweet potato casserole side was delicious. The cashier wasn't very friendly but maybe he was having a bad day. I was charged a fee to use my credit card that I didn't notice until after we had already paid. I actually had cash and would have used that if I knew they had a card fee. read more

Completely awesome! Beef and pork belly burnt ends were my favorite. Ribs and rib tips were good too.

I just started working in Springfield and have been to Rudy's twice already. Pulled pork last week catfish today. Both were excellent. Today we had 15 in our group and they took great care of us. read more

This place is new since I've been to Springfield about 20 years ago. unbelievable barbecue. Friendly servers. The menu is very clear to understand and the portions are huge. I got a small chili for lunch and it was phenomenal. They've let you get your own pickles and barbecue sauce. Also love the map on the wall and the emphasis on supporting veterans. read more

Rudy's Smokehouse - Lunch platter - huge portions - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Food was catered to an event I was hosting. The pulled pork was flavorless and severely fatty. The Mac n cheese was bland and cold upon arrival. The green beans were bland and flavorless. If you like nursing home food. This might be the place for you. However, if you don't. Eat somewhere else. If you need bbq catered in. Just don't. read more

Hidden gem and worth the drive!! Drove to yellow springs and got caught in the rain, stopped here on the way back to Columbus and it saved the day. Walked in to the owner great of us and his daughter in law behind the register. Friendly as ever! I had a pulled pork sandwich and a side of the cornbread. And my husband had a brisket sandwich and french fries. We were pleased to find that there was crafted soda I had a cream soda and it was spectacular. They also had a huge thing of pickles out that you could grab as well as many options for barbecue sauce. They had a sweet barbecue a hot barbecue and a bourbon barbecue sauce on every table. I tried them all and my favorite was definitely the hot. We looked and they had even more variety of barbecue sauce that we did not try but I'll be sure to try next time. The portions are huge the food is out of this world the sandwiches and the buns and the meat so fresh the cornbread was huge very moist and heavy like a corn bread should be. We will definitely be back. read more

Cornbread was large & delicious (no jalapeños). Ribs, brisket, pork are all great and flavorful, bbq sauce not required. The green beans were great and collards good too - had to add a little salt to them but rather that than overly salted. Pickles, onions, sauce, condiments bar available. Went twice during a short work trip it was so tasty! read more

My husband absolutely loves their food so I thought I am normally not around this area so I would bring him home some. Ordered through door dash, order was verified received. Would be ready in 11 mins. Went in to pick up girl behind the counter was no help with my order did not check with anyone where it was, I explained to her that I needed to pick up and go. Nothing said and turned around continuing with what she was doing. Needless to say after a lot of back and forth trying to find my order with gentleman running cash register it is finally being worked on and it is now 5 o'clock and the order was put in at 4:16. Probably will not be making any more special trips in the future. read more

The food was good. The service was fast! I love that they give a discount to Cedarville students.

If you are looking for amazing fries and BBQ this is your quiet little local restaurant. Packed with local folks who clearly know about the smoked delicacies and abundant sides. The place is worn but charming with lots of phrases on the wall. Order your meal and find a seat. I would eat there again if I'm passing through. read more

This is the worst bbq that I've ever had! The bourbon chicken and rice consisted wasn't what I was expecting expecting which was a nice moist juicy bbq chicken, marinated in the bourbon sauce and then barbecued it was as if it was a piece of boneless skinless breast of chicken cut up into chunks thrown on some uncle Ben's rice and then some sauce poured on it. It was a disgrace. The pork was flavorless and the ribs were over cooked and had no flavor. read more

Going to Chicago from Radnor, Ohio, my husband and I drove. We pulled out from highway to Springfield, Ohio for gas up. I saw this smokehouse joint and since it was lunch time, we went in. We didn't regret our decision We ordered beef brisket sandwich plus 2 sides - corn bread and chili. Although, the burnt ends were very interesting , they were sold out. Love the chili and my husband ate all his sandwich If you are in Ohio, check it out. Good food. Polite people read more

It's not as good as North or South Carolina, however, it A+ in Ohio. It's cooked just right. The BBQ sauce is great and the sides are great. It's worth going out of your way just for the pulled pork sandwich. Pick a good time to go because the parking lot fills up and there are long lines at dinner time. The people working the counters are nice but a bit frazzled. There isn't a lot of ambiance but you won't care because their BBQ tastes so good. read more

We were traveling to Columbus and hungry, saw the billboard for Rudy's and thought we'd try it if we got there in time. We did & it was very good. Thank you for having a billboard! read more

This BBQ is some of the best I've eaten in Ohio. I drive from just north of Columbus to keep visiting this place even though it's an hour drive each way. The pulled pork sandwich's are smoked perfectly and you get a huge portion of both the sandwich and the fries if you order a side of fries. They also have a boneless rib sandwich that is incredible. The rib sandwich has a nice crispy outside and is nice and juicy on the inside. I also highly recommend the coleslaw. The coleslaw reminds me of Bob Evans style coleslaw but even better. Foodie tip: I checked in on Yelp and they had a coupon for a free no bake cookie if you spend $8.00. read more

After reviewing this 8 years ago, decided to try it again. Service was much better. Tried some ribs and pulled pork. Fall off the bone ribs. Tender and ok. Baked beans were much better. Tried the corn bread. Large piece enough to share. Scalloped corn was not our taste. Sweet potato casserole was ok. It's a serve yourself on drinks. They had an eclectic choice of cola, lemonade, black cherry on tap. The stereo was a little loud but it was a big improvement over my last visit. read more

Great service, great prices, loved the craft sodas on tap. However, the sauces are too extreme! The sweet is sickly sweet, the bourbon tastes like a teriyaki sauce, and the hot lives up to its name. A mild sauce in the dining area would be so beneficial. Carolina Style came with slaw but no Carolina sauce after the up-charge. Scalloped potatoes were tasty. read more

Ruby's is a legit bbq house. Well cut brisket/pull pork and full size portions of the 3 sides: mac n cheese, potato salad and poached sweet corn bread. Meat had enough smoke and all sides tasted great. The one thing that needs to be improved would be the buns. Dry and lacking pizzazz. Maybe change it to Texas toast? #spicemeister approved bbq! read more

Rudy's Smokehouse - Brisket/pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

My most recent visit noticeably the cost is much more than ever before now. The worse experience ever though due to their employees NOT wearing gloves yet serving food and wiping their hands on their sides and on the back of their pants every time between orders. It was GROSS now to think I paid $62 to feed my parents and my 4 children... I got to show up with this meal.. knowing that their employees didn't wear gloves to pack it up! Thank goodness the one that cut themselves was working the cash register! It's a wonder the manager or owners don't see their employees on video not wearing gloves while wiping grease and everything else on their pants. Nasty stuff! Surprisingly stunning. read more

Had the pulled pork sandwich and mac n cheese lunch special. The pulled pork was smoky and moist, better than average bbq. The Mac and cheese could use a little more cheese sauce but wasn't bad. The fountain drinks were non traditional and that was a nice surprise. I had a black cherry soda. Overall, a better choice for lunch than the chain restaurants around it. read more

I stop here on my way to Columbus.The food is delicious and Taveon is the friendliest and kindest. Stop here and see him he will treat you awesome. read more

Good place for lunch or carry out. Barbecue ribs are solid, as well as the brisket. Pulled pork with the hot barbecue sauce is good as well. They serve bottled beer as well. Your order at the counter and wait for your number to be called the services typically good. read more

A little pricey, but portions are nice. More than I expected. I think this place is good. There is actual flavor in the sides nice. Catch the whole review on YouTube sheezy chardonnay aye aye aye!!!! read more

Rudy's Smokehouse - Restaurant background - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Baby K and I needed something on a road trip, and I wanted more than fast food (she was iffy about that.) Not too far from the highway, mac and cheese for her, BBQ for me, so, let's go. Plentiful and easily accessible parking. "Generic BBQ place" decor. Order at the counter and eat in (though that was not at all clear.) No kid's menu on the board overhead, and they seemed surprised by the question, but, fine, gimme a menu (there is a "juniors" section.) I ended up getting her a brisket sandwich with two sides, so she could get mac and some fries. I got a half slab with no sides, since I knew I'd be eating some of her meal. Hers came with a drink (fountain, nothing special for kids.) I got a sweet tea. Asked for a high chair, and the girl pointed her thumb behind her and said "it's in the back." Oh-kay. Weird place to keep them, but fine; I assumed she was getting one. Nope. I asked again 10 minutes later, and she said "I told you they're in the back." By which she meant, in the back of the other dining room. How was I supposed to know that? And why, when there were four people behind the counter doing nothing and only us out front, did she not offer to go get it, when she saw me with a cranky toddler? But whatever. The food was up quickly. The ribs were decent, in a mediocre-bbq way. Heavily sauced, not much flavor in the meat, "fall off the bone" in that shlurpy way that makes them hard to even pick up. The brisket was similarly bland. Lots of meat, though, on a decent bun. The sauces were not impressive. "NC" was only like North Carolina style in that it was vinegar-based; "sweeter than gold" was barely sweet, and otherwise had no flavor; "hotter than pepper" was slightly hot, and again, no other discernible flavor. Baby K had a little bit of her mac and fries, and my Texas toast, and was done. Not that they were bad; she just wanted to go. I tried each of them, and, keeping to the theme, they were fine, but not great. The 'sweet' tea was not. Service in general was disorganized. Friendly, but not helpful. I'm giving them 2 stars because the food was not awful, but it was not very good either. I've had worse, but I've had much better. It was a bit expensive, and I did not have a good experience and won't be back. read more

I love this bbq joint. They have the absolute best ribs in Ohio. Of course, we ordered something different tonight because we weren't that hungry? I have to state now that this brisket was some of the best I've ever had as well. My lovely wife always got brisket when I'd get a half rack of ribs and now I wonder why I don't just get both because she rarely shares with me when it's something she really likes. I love the Bark and fatty parts of brisket and luckily for me, she shared that with me. The sides were pretty darn tasty as well. Sweet corn casserole and hush puppies. We've tried all the sides and have never been disappointed. The baked beans are my favorite. We found this place back when my so attending the Ohio State University and Rudy's was almost exactly half way so we'd meet him there for dinner every 4-6weeks. Good place for family. The people are always nice. The opener is there every so often so talking to him is always a treat. Getting to support a local place is always nice and when they have phenomenal bbq it's a win win for everybody. They cater so give them a call. And... if you check-in, you get a free no-bake cookie. And check Groupon as well. read more

Got the lunch box. Ordered the chicken one which turned out to be a pulled chicken. It was very well seasoned chicken that came with a BBQ sauce. You get to pick one side which I choose the mac n cheese. It was a tad greasy with not a lot of flavor. For the drink i mixed the sweet tea with the lemonade. I would come back to try more items. It was great BBQ read more

Great place to stop! We got pork, chicken, brisket and plenty of sides! It was all so good! I would recommend to anyone In the area or passing through! read more

Good food, decent prices and service. My favorite thing on their menu is the scalloped corn.

Good but very expensive for the neighborhood. It says combo meal but they charge you individually
