The BBQ Atlas
Rudy's on the Northwest Freeway: Texas barbecue and a country store, wood-fired and unhurried.
Mack "Doc" Holiday started Rudy's in 1989, and the barbecue is still cooked over oak the way it was meant to be. This Houston outpost on Northwest Freeway opens early — 7 a.m. most days — and stays open late enough to catch dinner or a weekend night. It's a country store and a barbecue joint in one, which means you can eat and browse without apology.
Open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. No fuss about it.
