Butter's BBQ in Sinton. Brisket and sausage were great. Ribs were pretty good too and they had a special for a whole rack for $30 which was cool. I really like stopping by this place when I go down to Calallen to visit family.

So I happened to be over by the Rudy's around lunch time today so I figured I'd stop in as I'm not often on this side of town. Yes it pales in comparison to all the great bbq posted on this thread but it was pretty damn solid today.

Pissed the Rudy's up here went out of business. Dumbass coloradans could never quite get the concept. It's been replaced by a mediocre sit down bbq place with overpriced cocktails.

Interesting, the one down here in the springs (where they hold the local FB Watch parties)has a line out the door every weekend.

All the Rudy's in the Austin/Round Rock area are always busy even early mornings for breakfast tacos

There is nothing wrong with Rudy's. Is it elite BBQ? No, but it's better than a lot of places and pretty consistent, especially for the volume they pump out.

Correction. Dumbass Northern Coloradans.

Maybe there's just not enough Texas transplants up here like there are in the Springs.

For a BBQ lover going to Rudy's is similar to going to a casino in Oklahoma, Louisiana or Arizona. If you just enjoy it without comparing it to Las Vegas it's pretty good. Rudy's is pretty consistent and repeatable so it works. And yes their breakfast tacos are pretty solid.

That's actually a pretty good analogy.

In this casino analogy, I'm a degenerate gambler that doesn't care and just needs his fix.

Huge fan of some Rudy's breakfast.

AustingAgChef informed me that wadd96 passed away a couple days ago. I thoroughly enjoyed messing with him about the Bretts Backyard BBQ stuff and other things, but very sad to hear that he passed at such a young age. Prayers to his wife and family/friends. Can't imagine what they're going through.

Yes. I heard the same thing. Here. I had known Travis for almost 30 years. He was a good man. I poked fun at him sometimes on here because I felt I could because I knew him personally. Prayers for his family.

Between breakfast, lunch, and supper, I'll bet my family is at Rudy's at least 4-5 times a month.

Helberg BBQ in Waco. I hope they were able to catch it in time to prevent a total loss. I'm sure this is a huge risk for all of these BBQ places. The nature of the business I suppose. Real sad.

ETA: The whole "no known cause of the fire" is a bit interesting…. But maybe it's not as obvious as I would think.

Oh no, that's horrible. I know they had to do some renovations for the Fire Marshal last year.

This is from the Helberg Facebook page:

Quote:

Where do we start…we are completely heartbroken to share with y'all that our restaurant in Speegleville caught fire last night and our kitchen is completely gone. Unfortunately, the fire spread to the building, causing significant damage to structural beams, the roof, and more. We will be closed until further notice. We have a long road ahead of us dealing with insurance, and everything is up in the air right now. We are unsure if we will ever return to this building that we do not own. Those are the facts of the situation.
Now, our interpretation and perspective is this: we are so thankful that nobody was present or was hurt. We can't fathom the idea that we could have lost one of our team members to this fire. Praise God. James 1:2 says "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds. For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have it's full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." We have withstood many trials in growing this family-owned business into a beloved gathering place, a team that has served y'all on some of the most important and special days of your lives, and has been a part of countless memories. This is simply the next chapter in God showing how good and faithful He is. We have an enemy in this world, whose mission it is to kill, steal, and destroy. He will do anything to try to break us and turn us away from the love of God. Fire can destroy a building, but it can never take those memories away from us. The enemy is going to have to work a lot harder than this to shake our faith. "Christ is my firm foundation, the rock on which I stand. When everything around me is shaking, I've never been more glad that I put my faith in Jesus, cause he's never met me down. He's faithful through generations, so why would he fail now? HE WONT." We will keep y'all updated every step of the way and we can't wait to get back to serving this community. Love, The Helbergs.

Here's what always blows my mind: The original Rudy's out I-10 by Camp Stanley is head and tails above the franchise ones. I'm not sure why, but they're like when you make a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy…….

I'm a big fan of Hutchins in McKinney. Haven't been to the Frisco location but have heard it's just as good
