Anyone tried the barbecue at Rudy’s? It’s a bit more on the casual side, but the outdoor seating has a really nice vibe.

I personally think Rudy’s is overrated. There are better BBQ spots like Smokeroom BBQ, in my opinion. What do others think?

15

I see your point, but Rudy’s has its charm! It’s great for a quick bite after outdoor activities. Smokeroom does have some fantastic options too!
