RUDY'S COUNTRY STORE AND BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

Rudy’s always hit the spot for some good bbq in town. The food is always consistent, moist and that bbq flavor. The dining area is nice with community tables in the front where you order. The dining area behind the double door. Have individual picnic tables to sit at. There is also a fire pit that keeps the dining area warm and has that camp fire atmosphere. On this visit I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a small cream corn and peach cobbler. The pulled pork highly recommended, hella moist and flavorful. The cream corn is always a solid choice. The peach cobbler is a sweet delight to cap the dinner. I would recommend to others to come check this bbq joint out.

Rudy’s is a tradition in our family. Nothing I enjoy more than to sit around a picnic table in the patio room with my family gathered around and enjoying the moist smoky brisket and sausage we know and love. I have NEVER and I repeat NEVER had a bad meal there. The creamed corn is delish. Creamy and the fresh corn flavor hits the spot. Slightly sweet yet subtle. The baked potatoes loaded with a choice of meat, is an all time favorite. Finishing off the meal with a banana pudding is just right. It’s quaint charm of a bbq roadhouse and the concrete floors is what I love about the decor. Plain. Simple. Delicious. Room to sit. Kid friendly. That’s Rudy’s.

Oh my goodness, do I love me some Rudy's moist beef brisket! There is nothing like it anywhere and I have tried many places to find something similar too. So of course, it is more than awesome to be back in an area where there is a Rudy's BBQ, yummmmmyyyyyy!!!

GOLDEN PRIDE LOMAS REVIEWS

Victoria W. took my order she is so great, really taking ownership of the company. Helping to direct traffic. Golden pride is safe in her hands. My check was#236- who-ever cooked that#2 no egg was an artist the hash browns were perfect. Crispy. Just the right amount of cheese. Golden pride you are always consistent today you were another level. Thanks and praise be to God through Jesus. I hope there's employees get some recognition.

Best breakfast burritos in New Mexico and possibly the USA. Get the number nine with bacon and green chili. You won't be disappointed. The staff is so nice and friendly. Service is fast but not too fast. It's a good old-fashioned Albuquerque classic that can't be missed while in Albuquerque.

This has been my go to for breakfast burritos but my new obsession is the chicken sandwich. I ask for green chiles if i don't have to eat in the car. Can get a little messy! The combo (fries + drink) is a great deal. And their iced tea is the real stuff - fresh brewed.

THE COUNTY LINE OF ALBUQUERQUE REVIEWS

Really good BBQ meats and homemade-style fare. The queso and salsa were tasty with a kick of heat. I like that they serve the chips warm. The beans were homestyle and good, though a bit on the salty side. I had the brisket tacos, they came with the cheese on the side which did not melt well. I would have preferred corn tortillas over flour but they were still okay. The meat was delicious, which made up for the slight things I wasn't huge on. My lunch partner got (unpictured) the combo 2 meat with chicken and brisket with fries and Mac and cheese sides. They really enjoyed the meats and Mac and cheese though they thought the fries were a little undercooked, still edible though. Service was really nice, especially for a place that wasn't too busy at lunch time on a weekday. We will definitely be back again!

Overall the food was good. The beef ribs were excellent and smoked really well. The lean brisket was some of the best I've had in the area. The pork ribs were smoked a little too long and dry but the flavor was still good. I would recommend this place for sure and the views are incredible.

This place has such a relaxed and welcoming vibe! The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was top-notch. We were thrilled to catch an unexpected live band, which made the experience even better.
