Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
Albuquerque, United States
Mack "Doc" Holiday started this outfit in 1989, and it's been wood-fired oak and no apologies ever since. This Albuquerque outpost on Carlisle does the Texas way — straightforward, unhurried, open from seven in the morning until nine at night. A barbecue joint that knows what it is and doesn't feel the need to explain itself.

Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
Albuquerque, United States
Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q started in 1989 under Mack "Doc" Holiday and has grown into a multi-location operation without losing its character. This Albuquerque outpost on Coors NW does Texas barbecue the straightforward way: wood-fired over oak, no fuss. The country store side keeps things honest — it's barbecue and supplies, nothing more. Open early and late most days (7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday), it's built for people who know what they want and don't need a menu to tell them. Cash or card, reasonable prices, and the kind of place that works because it does one thing and sticks to it.
