Tom's Ribs on Nagodoches Rd is supposed to be good. Smoked turkey is on the
menu for your wife. Ribs are the specialty but brisket is bound to be
available, it Texas after all.

If ya wanna drive a bit look for cooper's in Llano and The Salt Lick outside
of Austin.

ROFL!

Where are you from? Rudy's is pretty awesome - and as a bonus your
eating at a gas station! The original is out 10, about 10 miles from
town - Leon Springs exit. Turkey is the best I've every had. Do you
have a car or relying on something close to downtown?
What night are you in town? I can have directions to anywhere you need
to go.
Also Blue Cactus Cafe is not far from the airport, very kid friendly,
and good chicken fried steak, ribs and brisket is good there too.

Thanks for the details. Is the "Rudy's" part of the chain I've tried in
Austin? Pretty good. We'll be driving in on 10 from Houston. We're
thinking of doing someting touristy. Will we be really disappointed if we
go to Rita's on the River. It's got Q and some Mexican for the spousal
unit. We're not expecting great, just fun...

Duff's Comments

BRISKET... smokey, moist. SAUCE... SAUSAGE...dry, not greasy. TURKEY...
POTATO SALAD...


Hack's Comments

BRISKET... very tasty, smokey and tender. SAUCE... the mild sauce is
good, but the flavor is too subtle, the spicy sauce is too spicy. A mix
of the two sauces might be best. SAUSAGE... bland with tough casings.
TURKEY... better than average, but not great. POTATO SALAD... looked
good, but the flavor wasn't there and the potatoes were undercooked.

Notes: Last visited on August 17, 2002 for lunch
Duff had the Beef & Sausage combo with two sides. Hack had a half pound
of turkey and a side of potato salad. The total cost with large soft
drinks was $16.49.

You probably already know this, but you will be passing City Market in
Luling on the way from Houston to SA. It's my current favorite for TX
barbeque.
