Rudy's Bar-B-Q in San Antonio, TX 78257

The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best family restaurant in San Antonio, and fashioned along the lines of an old roadside gas station/country store/barbecue shack, Rudy's serves up arguably some of the best 'cue in the area. Meats and ribs are sold by the pound, and served with slices of white bread for making your own sandwiches. And be sure to get a couple of sides - the cream corn and pinto beans are especially tasty. Along with your appetite, bring a dose of patience; the joint is so popular that the line often snakes out the door. Folks wanting to avoid the crowds can call in their to-go orders ahead of time and pick up their food at a separate entrance.
