Rudys "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q -Food CA (Near Laredo)

Olga Paries During early happy hour on Friday, 1/9/26, the bartender who attended us delivered exceptional service. He was genuinely helpful, impressively attentive without ever being intrusive, and his food recommendations were absolutely on point. Beyond the service, we enjoyed great conversations about music and his personal history living in the surrounding areas, which added a warm, authentic layer to the experience. He is truly the kind of presence that makes guests want to return again and again. And a tip for fellow diners: don’t miss the rosemary potatoes outstanding.

Ema J We went to the movies at Cinemark and while in town we thought to try out this restaurant. After we entered, we were greeted almost immediately and shown to a table. The waitress, as she was seating us, asked for our drink order. She brought out the drink and asked about appetizers. She recommended the Gator bites, which I hadnt ever eaten, so we ordered it. They werent bad. They remind me of eating little fat chunks of fried pork from a chicharon, which I do not like. The two other people with me loved them. I ordered fried pork, mashed potatoes, and grilled vegetable melody; my nephew ordered a fried pork chop, broccoli, and broccoli rice casserole; his uncle ordered fried catfish, fries and fried okra (the tarter sauce is too sweet). I had not had fried pork chops, as I usually eat mine grilled, and I think i will stick with grilled. I am not sure if frying it caused it to be tough or if it was over fried. Other than that one issue, everything else was on point. I definitely will be back to try the chicken fried chicken.

Jeanne Pinion This restaurant has a little more of an old school, authentic German vibe. Ive eaten here a few times and it is always a big portion and delicious. This time I wanted something a little lighter and got the smaller portion of the Hungarian stew over herbed egg noodles. The food and service were speedy. The stew hit the spot and tasted like something perhaps your grandmother made.

Lance Anderson I ordered the Spicy Chicken Strips that comes with Fries and White Gravy. The flavor was excellent and the food was fresh!

K. Patel Sagar “Sid” The only highlight of this restaurant was Sean. He’s the bomb. Food is below mid, service is meh. From the salsa to the entree, it’s definitely a different approach to Tex-Mex. Maybe it’s for you, maybe it’s not. Wasn’t for us, but hopefully Sean can try to make it better!

A Farrell The Fork & Spoon in New Braunfels is a fantastic brunch spot! The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. There was a bit of a wait for a table, but it was definitely worth it. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend for a laid-back, tasty meal!
