Didn't have all menu items available, chicken was dried out and the sausage was cheap, my wife's baked potato was ok. At the prices they charge you should have quality food. I won't be back.

We placed an order through Uber eats and we didn't get most of what we ordered and found hair in the pulled pork. We were only able to eat what wasn't contaminated and what actually arrived. The cold tea was more like hot tea.

Great little spot. Good BBQ in a quick and easy format. Order in line, grab your basket, pick any table, and enjoy. All the free condiments you need for BBQ, onions, peppers, pickles, sauces, in a self serve format. Was able to pop in, get a great meal and be back on the road in 30 minutes. As fast as fast food, but a quality as any sit down place. I will be back.

I am writing to express my disappointment following a recent visit to the Rudy’s “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q location in Santa Fe, NM. Unfortunately, my experience fell far below the standards I have come to expect from the Rudy’s brand based on prior visits to your other New Mexico locations.

From the outset, the level of customer service was subpar. Upon entering the establishment, the staff appeared inattentive and disengaged, offering little to no assistance. I ordered the chicken, which was severely overcooked and dry, rendering it nearly inedible.

Of particular concern was the state of the self-service beverage area. The ice machines were actively leaking, causing water to pool across the floor and creating a clear safety hazard. Despite the obvious risk, this issue appeared to be neglected by staff.

When I brought these concerns to the attention of the manager on duty, Mr. Bedford Richardson, I was met with indifference. He showed no willingness to listen or investigate the issues raised, and his dismissive attitude only compounded the dissatisfaction with my visit.

This experience stands in stark contrast to my visits to Rudy’s locations in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, where facilities are consistently clean, staff are professional and courteous, and the overall dining environment is well-maintained. Unfortunately, the Santa Fe location demonstrated none of these qualities. The dining area had a noticeable presence of flies, and there was a visible accumulation of greasy dust in the air vents—clear indicators of poor maintenance and hygiene.

In summary, the Santa Fe Rudy’s falls significantly short of the quality and service associated with your other locations. I would strongly encourage a thorough review of both the management practices and facility maintenance at this branch. Until substantial improvements are made, I cannot in good conscience recommend this location to others.

I've been to San Antonio n el paso Rudy's n you can't tell them apart I really like their food, service n atmosphere. But when I took my family to the one at santa fe Food was not at all like Rudy's it lacked taste, service was poor counter people could careless if I ate there or not n atmosphere you could sense the tension of not wanting Hispanic people in their store. A group of people started to speak out loud of how proud they were of president stand on immigration laws. We were in Santa fe for graduation of daughter from NM state trooper. As a veteran of Nam I did not see color when I put my life for all.

Forgive me, I don’t understand why this place is popular. The food is subpar by far, the illusion of a BBQ. Slop in my opinion nothing more. I actually became nauseous eating there. Never again. This place needs an over haul. The only thing I enjoyed was washing my hands at the wash station. How clever.
