So I was coming from near India Springs state park and needed to charge my car and Rudy's a small little place on the side of the road with a ton of semi trucks in the lot. If truckers were eating the barbecue I knew it had to be good. My wife and I got the brisket and wings and they were superb with the sauce on the side. The baked beans were okay I just like mine thicker. This will definitely be a must visit whenever we are on the south side. Don't be put off by the appearance, the food speaks volumes.

Good, I love the rib tips. Food is a little pricey but hey, I can park my 18 wheeler in their lot. I will return

So this past Thursday 11/13/14 I was only using their parking lot to kill 10mins but I was informed that it would cost me money to park there even for just 10mins. So my choices were pay the parking attendant or buy food. I chose food. I ordered beef brisket plate with brunswick stew and baked beans. Off the charts good. Everything tasted fresh and great. Next time I'm in the area and I have time I'm definitely stopping by.

Good BBQ, sauce, fries, slaw and potato salad. Tasty, cold sweet tea. Clean restrooms. Highway close.

Awesome BBQ Food plus great service with good attitude. Nice place for stop and rest, tv room, clean restroom, outside or inside. Big semi parking lot!!! Easy In and Out.
