Rudy's is a chain of BBQ eateries in gas stations. Don't let that deter you!
Their brisket is fabulous, sold by the pound and served on paper with the most unhealthy sliced white bread (Mrs. Baird's) they could find! Pickles and onions and as much sauce as you want found to the side. Their jalapeno sausage is great too, but not as good as Louie Mueller's in Taylor, which I think has the best sausage I have ever eaten.
For interior Mexican food, Curras can't be beat (not tex-mex) but for a fancier meal go to Fonda San Miguel's. Classic.
Olivia's on South Lamar is another favorite of ours. I'm getting homesick. And for breakfast, head to Magnolia for a Prima Dora omelet.
I'll shut up now. , No, not yet! If you are driving, go through Bastrop for a hamburger at the Roadhouse on Rt 21. Their jalapeno cream cheese burger made the magazines.Get the sweet potato fries on the side. ##
