    I came for a bbq stuffed baked potato but they sadly didn't have any at the time. It was then that I saw they have nachos. Nachos with brisket! I love a good nacho and these were outstanding. The cheese sauce was a fantastic consistency and had lots of meat on top. Between two of us we were unable to finish the order. I can't wait to get more! Get there early because they do close at 8PM!

    Thinly sliced, dry, grey brisket with only a hint of a ring.

    I was aware of the 4.5-Star rating since last fall and had been wanting to give it a shot. So I decided to pop in while driving past last night. I don't like giving a 1-Star review, but this certainly warrants it. My belief is that the food should be just as good on a slow Tuesday as a busy Saturday. The brisket was dry and grey (see the picture below); smoked chicken salad was tasteless; sausage tasted store bought. The pulled pork was average, but again, very very dry. The jalapeno potato salad was good. I was literally the only person in the place on a Tuesday night and yet, it took about 15 minutes for my food to come out. I started to read the most recent reviews and still thought, certainly it can't be that bad. Until it was.

    Sweet little place with excellent food and service!

    WOW! We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place was! Decorated with many Hays County awards like "Best BBQ" and "Best Queso" we figured it wouldn't disappoint but we were totally blown away by the tenderness and the portion sizes. Real Texas BBQ y'all! I got the brisket nachos with their amazing hatch chili queso and it was phenomenal as was the jalapeño potato salad. This will always be a stop when we visit Austin!

    Brisket the way brisket is suppose to be made! Also... wrapped in an homemade flour tortilla?! Yes please Get the jalapeño potato salad and thank me later. Dip the sausage in the honey. Drink Big Red. Do it all and do it often

    Always great service! Food is always hot and yummy. Very accommodating for COVID19. I wouldn't change this place even if I could. Love it! I will continue to tell my friends and be back soon! Thank you.

    Sausage wrap jerky!

    I ordered a sausage wrap and the sausage was so well done it was like eating jerky. So disappointed! They were shriveled up barely the size of a finger like they had been sitting around for two days. Ca barely bite through it.

    Great people!

    We went out to Shugabees for the first time this weekend on our way to float the river - it was one of the best decisions we made that day! I had the pulled pork with the awesome mustard sauce and my boyfriend got the brisket. They wrap their tender and flavorful meat in wonderfully warm handmade flour tortillas - something very unique for a BBQ place (At least in my opinion). I got 1/4 lb. of meat and it was a huge portion, especially with the tortilla! Every bite was delicious. We also got the jalapeno potato salad - if you like a kick of spice, you will LOVE this potato salad!! It has so much flavor and texture, I was not disappointed. Then for dessert, we had the Beenana pudding. This dessert really hit the spot - it has nilla wafers on the bottom and top plus homemade whipped cream. Can't get much better than that! Plus, the owners are super sweet, friendly, and willing to answer as many questions as you have about the menu. They recently switched locations, so please go out there an give them the love they deserve! You won't regret it :)

Nice thing about them was they gave us samples when we were curious about an item on their menu. Their brisket was excellent. It was seasoned just right, not too fatty (you can request to get the fat cut off too if you want) and tender. You can order pork ribs by number of ribs instead of weight strictly. Their hatch Mac n cheese was fire. They add jalapenos to it and it was very creamy. Their beans had bits and pieces of brisket in them as well. Overall, a great BBQ place. Was just a bit uncomfortable sitting outside to eat on a toasty summer day.

    Pre-freeze afternoon visit, 1.24.26…read more Before we decided to visit, I had called to see of they had smoked chicken. The gentleman on the phone said they did but had run out of some of the other meats and had limited quantities of brisked, chopped brisked and smoked chicken. i told him we'd head right over. We got there and 1. were greeted with firendly happy faces, 2. I noticed a small bar area as soon as you enter and 3. even though most people were freaking out about the freeze later this evening, the place was half full which to me, is an indication that this olace must be pretty damn good if it was literally freezing and people were willing to risk it for the brisket. While we waited in line to place our order, I get a callback from the Bloodworth which i though was odd. I answered and it was the gentleman I had spoken to earlier to let me know they were running out of chicken and wanted to know if we wanted him to hild some for us. Ain't that super nice and fantastic customer service??? I told him were already in line and about to place our order. He came out from the back while he still had me on the phone to greet me and we both laughed about it. Super nice guy and turns out he's also the pitmaster. We placed our order for the smoked chicken and also a to go order of brisket to have the following day. We also ordered their 5-cheese mac and cheese and their potato salad. The staff helping us was super helpful and cheery telling us about their menu and how everything is made onsite. Their chicken was moist and tender with a good smokey flavor and well seasoned with sald and pepper. The wife and i split a chicken quarter each and that was more than enough, especially sonce we were also non-stop digging into the tangy, mustard based potato salad and creamy and heavenly mac and cheese. Neither is to be missed! Also, while I'm not generally a fan of bbq sauces, their Gold and Spicy are freaking out of this world. Kudos to the entire staff as they were all incredibly nice, from the two young ladies behind the counter slicing the meats and packing the sides, to the gentleman behind the bar (thanks for asking of I needed another Lonestar) to the pitmaster checking on his customers, it was just such a great, refreshing experience. Glad to have a fantastic option close by to indulge in great tasting smoked meats!

We heard that Rudy's was a solid spot to check out so thought it could be the perfect spot and it was! Fast casual setup, vast open seating, clean tables, clean restrooms. Easy in, easy out, and solid Texas BBQ vibes. Service was great. Super patient and friendly, greeted us when we came in and they even offered samples of the prime rib and pork loin before we committed to how much we wanted. That alone deserves a shoutout! Here's what we ordered: * Prime Rib - Honestly the star of the show. Great price, beautiful marbling, solid bark, juicy and pink inside. Perfectly seasoned. And that horseradish sauce?? So unique and addicting! I genuinely wanted to take extra home and put it on everything! I might have to get extra next time! * Moist Brisket - Tasted good. Not the best brisket we've ever had in Texas (let's be honest, that's a high bar), but for a quick, no-wait option? It was great! * Pork Loin - A sleeper hit. Juicy, well seasoned, nice smoke flavor, and super lean. This would be AMAZING for weekly meal prep. Not a cut you see everywhere and they did a great job with it! The pickled jalapeños and carrots are BOMB. Spicy with a great snap. Plus you get free pickles, bread, onions, and sauce, always appreciated. We really loved that they offer meats like pork loin and prime rib that you don't always see at BBQ joints, and they execute them really well! We'll absolutely be back for those in particular! Apparently we need to try the banana and chocolate pudding next time as we've heard it's good. Overall a solid stop!
