MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT...On the way to San Antonio we stopped at Stubb's because we have been big fans of Stubbs BBQ sauce for years. After we had to park across the street from the homeless shelter, we entered the restaurant. The staff was pushy and rude. The FOOD was awful. The sliced beef was nothing but FAT, the bread was soggy, the potato salad is the worst I've ever had. The french fries tasted like freezer bag fries. OVERALL - stick with the sauce at home, but if you want an example of the restaurant pour the sauce over Purina dog food and chow down!!!
Let me give you a feel for the place.Moonshiners meet Greenday. Imagine a converted brick and wood barn, one of those places that you went to on a 4th grade school trip. Imagine John Cougar Mellencamp in a corner writing songs. Well, that's what it looks like, very casual & cozy. Now, for the wait staff.It seems to be required to have a tattoo or piercings. In addition, the hostess has blue hair to add some color to the murky restaurant. Now the service is sensational, a mere 5-7 minutes after you order,your meal is on your plate. The food is the perfect amount at the perfect price!! Delicious!!!
As an added bonus, there is a huge pit and par out back, I'm assuming that's where the live bands play. Definitely return if not for the food alone, the atmosphere.

I'll get straight to the point... skip it. Just drive the extra quarter mile to Rudy's for BBQ. Everyone raves about J's fajita meat... skip it... drive the extra half mile to Flores. Breakfast tacos are a joke. The "ham" in the ham & egg tacos... it

Rudy's flavor profile is simple: black pepper. So, if you tend to put black pepper on everything, then you'll love Rudy's. This place really took off after Texas became the alternate living choice for Californians. I lived in CA for a few years and
