Cooking ChannelCooking Channel: This roadside mobile restaurant doesn't merely churn out some of the best barbecue on the block, it makes some of the best brisket, ribs and pulled pork in the entire country. Fatty Brisket is a must.

steensteen: Get here early or else they do sell out (we lined up at 9 and ate at 1 on a Tuesday). Brisket and Pork ribs are winners and the banana bourbon pie is also a dark horse so get it!!

Nick J.Nick Johnson: Believe the hype. The brisket and ribs are incredible. Transported home and reheated the brisket is still better than anything available in London.

Lee M.Lee McClinton: I'm a Kansas City barbeque snob, and most Texas barbeque doesn't meet my expectations...except Rudy's. The brisket is flavorful, the turkey is amazing, and the sausage is very tasty.

Anthony D.Anthony Dabbs: Brisket and lamb was so tender and melted in your mouth. Side ranking: 1. Grits(just amazing) 2. Potato salad 3. Slaw (lemon pepper and poppyseed) 3. Beans. Tie for last two. Liked them both the least

Faith D.Faith Dabbs: The brisket melts in your mouth! The lamb sausage is divine, coming from someone who's not a fan of any kind of sausage. Cheese grits were AMAZING. A nice southwest twist. The slaw was also en pointe.
