Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q operates as a regional restaurant specializing in barbecue. Its cooking relies on 100% oak wood-fired pits and a dry spice rub that seasons the meat before it is finished. The business traces its roots to Leon Springs, just north of San Antonio, where Rudolph Aue expanded a family operation that began in the 1800s. Bar-B-Q was added to the lineup in 1989, and the same core recipes from that origin remain part of the menu as the concept expanded across the Southwest. Based in Austin, Texas, the company operates in the restaurant industry and employs hundreds of people. Its footprint covers the Southwest, serving customers who seek traditional Texas barbecue and a sense of regional heritage built from its Leon Springs origins.
