We saw Rudy's along the highway and it had a fun, inviting look, not to mention there were a lot of people there which told us that it was a good place to eat! We stopped during the lunch rush, and even though the place was packed, it didn't take long for us to get our food and get seated.... More

I have eaten here a few times and I am never disappointed. The quality is always excellent. Sometimes the lines can be rather long but it moves very fast so don't turn around and head back out if you see a long line. Maybe a 5 minute wait at most. Always fun to put your food on a white piece... More

I love to shop and look for things I can't find in regular stores and you can always find little gems in this type of place. It's worth a stop if you're into that.

I found Rudy's by accident, driving out the back side of Garden of the Gods Park, heading back to the airport. What an awesome BBQ joint! I told the staff I was a newbie and they proceeded to slice up some samples for me to help me decide what to get. I chose to get 1/2 lb of lean brisket,... More

We have had a lot of BBQ over the years and this ranks right up there! Loved the atmosphere. It was a warm day, so we sat out on the patio. Brisket was fantastic, the smoked turkey was incredibly tender. The smoked baked potato was amazing too! We wish we lived closer to Rudy's! We would be regulars!!

Anyone from Texas knows Rudy's. Anyone from Colorado should know Rudy's. The food is awesome and the atmosphere is cool. BBQ is limited in this state, so I'm glad we got one of the few great chains out there. They smoke everything on-premise. This isn't chain slop. This is real BBQ.

Rudy's has baby back ribs beyond compare! After eating them here, you will not be happy with them anywhere else. Smoked turkey...can be dry & tough but NOT at Rudy's. It is moist & tender. The buttermilk pie for dessert is quite lovely. The atmosphere is different as is eating on butcher paper. Kids love it!

We love Rudy's and try to find one whenever we travel in the Southwest. The food is always consistent in quality. The cream corn and green chili stew are the best appetizers. This particular store has a great patio area with inside and outside seating. On a side note, try their rubs! We use them to marinate steaks at home... More

If you want a truly unique BBQ experience make sure to visit Rudy's. Great brisket and pulled pork. Don't forget to try the buttermilk pie!

I probably eat here twice a month, usually the chopped barbecue sandwich and a side of either sausage or ribs. The meat is always flavorful and moist, and as with true smoked barbecue, the flavors subtly change day to day. I've never had anything that was less than very good, and some days it was excellent. The one disappointment is... More
