Probably explains why I'm fat.

I went there several years ago. They have good donuts. The glaze is orange colored.

If you are ever around Irving, there is a place off of Story road north of 183 called burger island. They have some of the best burgers.

The original Rudy's in Leon Springs is by far better than the rest of the Rudy's to me. All but the original are chain stores and the quality shows. I thought Salt Lick was better than any BBQ I have gotten in Lockhart, Texas but I have not Had Blacks Yet in defense of Lockhart.

Ribs are pretty damn good there. Smoked Jalapenos are awesome too. Stuffed with brisket, and wrapped in bacon. Yum. Went there this past weekend. I'm not gonna say it's the best q around, but for being convinient it is. I like to go to Main Street BBQ in Euless when i can. Can't beat all you can eat for $12, and it's really good.

As far as other places, they are spread out everywhere around here.

I've been to every Rudy's in SA...and yes the Original Leon Springs location is the best.
I've been to the Rudy's in Waco, its a big place and it is still consistent with the rest of them.
Oh, I 've also been to the one in Del Rio too.

We're going to Lockhart next weekend to see what they have...
