“Nice atmosphere, the ouyside sitting is perfect for southern winters, had a to the moon and back drink, it is really good highly recommend, bad part was, we ordered a full moon potato with brisket cheese, sausage, bbq sauce and creme, well no potatoes. But fun place to go, southern winter weather makes outdoor seating “

“I came from San Antonio just to eat here.. what more can I say“

“Good homemade food, brisket sandwich was on the salty side and the rice wasn't cooked all the way through but first time it's happened still very flavorful. Mac and cheese is delicious; potato salad is tasty but a lil heavy on the mustard. Fajitas are good but not as tender as I expected.“

“Rudy’s serves good BBQ with juicy brisket, savory turkey, and delicious sides. The green chili stew is my go to on cold days. It’s a hearty stew with potato and beef. Huge baked potatoes. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. Highly recommended for satisfying BBQ cravings. Drive thru is available.“

“Excuse my picture, but I had to test the food out before I snapped the shot. I love this BBQ spot in Heb on Trenton and 10th. The brisket beans are very hearty. I love the chopped brisket and the pickles are awesome! Also I hate potato salad, but I do enjoy this one.“

“Home , RGV to visit family, craving for BBQ and cousin suggested Ace’s BBQ figuring they knew what I loved. At Edinburg location the place was kinda hidden finding out it was well worth it… brisket was super moist, sausage was on spot, as was the pork having ordered the the huge 3 meats botana plate served over tortilla chips w/ melted cheese (I was hooked)! Well presented and served and you got my business when I return home 3 times a year over Rudy’s.. Great Job and keep it up!.. Sides were very good but I was there for the meats.“

“I absolutely love Smoke Ring! We took another couple with us today and they loved it as much as we do!!!!! Great staff, great food , and fantastic service! Whom ever gave them an unsatisfactory rating before, SHAME on you! The staff bends over backwards to serve you. I've never had better smoked brisket! Keep up the great work!“

“Excellent taste😋. My wife and I love it“

“Everything was delicious we went to celebrate my son 21th birthday they sang a song it was very nice everyone had a great time“

“Tried the brisket smash burger ?. Overall the burger was very good ?, although the bacon ? that came with it was a little tough. The burger and the drink was a little over $14. Overall, I liked the burger, but I don't think it was worth the 14 bucks.
I just notice, I asked for the brisket smashed burger, and was charged and given the el jefe burger. I am adding a pic of the receipt

Kid-friendliness: Very spacious and accommodating“

“Excelente servicio desde que abres la puerta son muy atentos contigo, la comida muy rica y a un muy buen precio 👍👍👍“

“It was a special nite. My wife and I were meeting our son’s girlfriend for dinner. We were nervous and anxious and excited. The waitress gets our order mixed up, takes a long time to get our drinks, the food is lukewarm and tastes as if it’s been under a heat lamp a while. But you know what? It was a very enjoyable experience! The confusion and delay was a wonderful icebreaker! We laughed and forgave all. Wouldn’t have had it any other way. Ultimately, it was about the new addition to our family….“
