Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Rudy's brings oak-fired barbecue to South Padre Island Drive, open early and late enough to fit your day.
Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q is part of a barbecue operation that Mack "Doc" Holiday started in 1989. This Corpus Christi location cooks over oak, no shortcuts, and keeps the doors open from 7 a.m. most days — 8 p.m. on weeknights, 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It's straightforward work: wood-fired barbecue, the kind that doesn't need a story, just a appetite.
