    "Gut Pak" (half)
    Richie M.

    A Waco institution! Skip Rudy's and drive down the road a short distance! FRIENDLY service! Tasty lean brisket, awesome jalapeño sausage, on point pinto beans, and that 3 cheese Mac hits the taste buds!

    Interior of restaurant m.

    Parking is busy, but spaces available. Great first impression & very easy to order. This restaurant interior is a very nice clean decor with a large brick wall and lots of TVs, but they are tastefully blended into the decor. The food is excellent and unlike anything anywhere. The first time I visited it was just a pick up window and picnic tables. This is incredible and exceptionally reasonable for the amount of food. A must when in Waco.

    Spud Pak - Chopped Brisket
    Evan B.

    We went here for dinner at around 7pm. They close at 8pm so we went in expecting the meats to be a little dry. When we got there it was really busy. There's was a line to order but it went by pretty quick. All the tables and booths were taken up luckily one opened up when we were ready to sit. I think this place wants to maximize the amount of people that can dine but all the tables sit 4-8 people or more. Most groups were 2 people so the 2 people would take up an entire booth designed for 6 people or more. I would recommended Viteks to get more 2 people sittings. The food was in fact a little dry but it was still really good. The flavor was great and I know if I return it'll be during the lunch meal and I can have higher expectations on the freshness. I recommend going early since when we went they were almost running out of brisket, they were out of ribs, and green beans. So the earlier the better. The Mac n cheese was amazing though. Everything tasted great.

    I'm originally from Waco and so much has changed, but thankfully Vitek's Gut Pack is still as delicious as I recall! The box is absolutely filled to brim and will leave you hurting in a good way! We chose to sit outside on their covered patio which also has a fire pit and TVs to enjoy some sports. Definitely check out Vitek's if you're passing through!

    BBQ FOR DAYS!!! What a cool spot. The industrial warehouse interior makes it rustic and cool kind of like an old firehouse or garage. Really like the extra touches of making it feel like a casual communal space without being crowded between seats. It's just enough noise without feeling like you're yelling over each other if that makes sense. There's also outside dining with TV, bench seating and heat lamps for the cooler days. I ordered the standard 2 meat option with sides. The brisket slightly fatty, jalapeño sausage, the mac and cheese and potato salad. Can't go wrong with any of the other choices. Glad I tried this place. If you're in Waco or driving through I definitely recommend stopping by. Solid place. Cheers! XO

    We stopped I here for a bbq dinner. We weren't disappointed. I had the chopped beef sandwich and potato salad. The beef was tender and flavorful and the potato salad was almost as good as my mom's! If you are looking for a casual joint for some good food, try Vitek's.

    Food was excellent. It had a good atmosphere. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table.

    Is this place Dog friendly?

    I think if you were to sit outside it would be, there are a lot of covered areas outside to sit and eat and a bathroom.

    Halfway between Dallas and Georgetown is a Rudy's BBQ in Waco. It's on the north side of IH-35, but…read moreeasy enough to get to even if you are heading south. There is construction going on, so you may need to exit early and stay on the frontage road to avoid missing it. Parking lot out front is generally empty because most people park in the back. Gas pumps out front are usually available without a wait. When you enter, you'll pass the country store where you can buy sauces and jams and such to take for gifts or yourself. Someone is usually there to greet you as you head inside. They have a line barricade that you have to weave through in order to get to the register to place your order. The wall menu board is positioned so you can read and decide what you want while you are in line. Meats are often ordered by weight, but you can get a sandwich if you don't know how much of an item to order. While in line, you'll zigzag by a large ice bucket of cold drinks in bottles and cans. I always skip these and get sweet iced tea from the self-serve station. You'll also pass a refrigerator of delicious sides and desserts. Be sure to load up on coleslaw, potato salad, pecan pie, and banana pudding. There's more, but these are some of our favorites. At the register, they will put together a large plastic bin lined with butcher paper and then load it up with your meal choices. We love the extra moist brisket, jalapeño sausage link, smoked turkey, corn on the cob, and new potatoes. For the meat, it is fun to order a 1/2 lbs. and a whole link to share with your party. If you want to make your own sandwich, ask for a half or whole loaf of bread depending on how many sandwiches you want to dress. They will load it all into your bin. If you are getting drinks from the drink station, be sure to get a Rudy's cup. You can bring it back for cheap refills on your next visit. They have both unsweet and sweet tea along with the usual soda fountain drinks. Before heading to your table, collect plastic flatware, paper napkins, and more butchers paper to set down as a place mat for each person. They also have a paper boat trays that you can load up with pickles, onions, and peppers for the sandwiches you will make at your picnic table. Each picnic table has condiments available. They have a full bodied BBQ sauce that is a bit sweet and spicy, and a Sissy BBQ sauce for those who need something more bland. There are tables inside and outside. Lots of tables can handle large groups, but there are also small 2-seater picnic tables. Once you are done chowing down, wad up the butcher paper with everything inside and deposit it into one of the many large trash bins. You can also ask for a bag to go and small containers to take items on the road. My family has always enjoyed their visits to Rudy's. They are located around the state of Texas, but they even have some in AZ, NM, OK, and CO. Not really great if your a vegetarian or on a diet for cholesterol or heart issues, but if you are young and healthy, it can be a nice meal for a splurge or cheat day.

    Continuing on my road trip in Texas. Hotel recommendation was tonight's dinner selection Rudy's…read morecountry store and barbecue. Good recommendation and tremendous staff. The moist brisket sandwich with Rudy's original sauce was fabulous. Traditional Texas barbecue but with a little extra. Highly recommend Rudy's and especially the moist brisket. Again the staff went above and beyond providing with a few extras at no extra charge. Always nice when you're traveling from out of town.

The place is pretty nice on the outside, as far as BBq places go. It is a little ways north of the downtown area. I went in right at noon and had to stand in line a while. I ordered 1/3 of a pound of moist brisket and 1/3 of jalapeños sausage. The cashier called someone else over cause she couldn't ring up 1/3 of a lbs. The second person told her to enter .33. When she did, it popped up .330. She asked if I'd be fine paying for .330 instead of 1/3 of a lb. Brisket was good, but I didn't get the requested moist end. The sausage was good, but not great. Someone came around and offered a free side of "gravy". I declined, but later regretted it. I really should have learned what bbq gravy tastes like.
