Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Rudy's brings Texas barbecue and a country store to Arlington, oak-fired and unhurried.
Mack "Doc" Holiday started this outfit in 1989, and it's grown into a small chain without losing its character. Wood-fired oak, no shortcuts — the kind of place that treats barbecue like it matters.
You'll find this outpost on East I-20 in Arlington. It's a barbecue joint and country store both, which means you can eat and browse in the same breath. No fuss, no theme-park theatrics. Just meat cooked right and a store that knows what it's selling.
