San Antonio-born BBQ chain ranked No. 1 in US for creamed corn, brisket
Every barbecue fanatic in Texas knows that brisket is king, but the sides can often be the most delicious part of a barbecue outing. For anyone wanting a side of the sweeter variety, creamed corn is often a popular choice, and it lets folks pretend they're eating enough vegetables. Luckily for barbecue fans in the Alamo City, they have access to the country's No. 1 chain for creamed corn and brisket combos.
Eat This, Not That! published its list of the Top 5 barbecue chains with the best brisket and creamed corn on Sunday, November 1, and Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q took to the top spot. The list praised Rudy's for serving 100% wood-smoked Texas-style brisket prepared low and slow over oak wood, while the creamed corn is described as a can't miss item.

"Rudy's on 183 has brisket just as good as anywhere in Austin and I've been to them all many of times," one reviewer is quoted, while another says "Rudy's does have the very best creamed corn ever... it's like havin dessert."
On that we can confirm. On MySA's visit to the original Rudy's in Leon Springs, the manager called it "liquid gold" and the description was spot on. The creamed corn is not too thick but not too soupy either, offering a delicious bite of sweetness to cut through all the greasy barbecue.
Rudy's first opened in Leon Springs in 1989 has since grown to more than 50 restaurants across six states. Rudy's took the No. 1 spot on the list by beating out City Barbeque, HoneyFire, Mission BBQ and Soulman's Bar-B-Que.
