'' Contents 1 History 2 Menu 3 NASCAR sponsorship 4 References History Rudy 's was established by Rudolph Aue in Leon Springs, Texas ( now a part of San Antonio, Texas ) in 1929 as a combination business consisting of a filling station, automobile repair shop, and grocery store. In 1989 Rudolph added barbecue to the food menu, combining the grocery and new restaurant element to make a `` country store '' feel. Their signature barbecue consists of 100 % oak wood smoked meats rather than the usual Texas Mesquite smoke, and special in - house spices. Rudy 's later expanded to 34 locations through the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Now more of a self - service sit down restaurant style establishment, the retail store portion usually consists of a small corner of each location. The company 's head offices are currently located in Lakeway, Texas. Menu Rudy 's prides itself on its brisket, but also serves beef, turkey, pulled pork, ribs, sausages, and breakfast tacos. Sides include coleslaw, pickled carrots, stew, creamed corn, potato salad, baked potatoes, and bread by the whole or half loaf. Soda and beer are sold as beverages, and both feature regional selections. NASCAR sponsorship Rudy 's initially jumped in to NASCAR by sponsoring driver Brad Coleman and team Joe Gibbs Racing for three Xfinity Series ( then Nationwide ) races in 2009, under the name rudys.com The name `` Rudy 's Country Store & BBQ '' was used for the company 's re-entry in 2016 with Garrett Smithley and JD Motorsports.
