Rudy's Smokehouse

I am staying in Springfield and have eaten here 5 times since I have been here. I have had ribs, pulled pork, beef, turkey and chicken. I has all been really great! The staff is very friendly and seem to enjoy being there. Every time I've been in there the owner is there working to he seems to treat his staff well looks like he also enjoys being there. If you're tiered of eating fast food or eating at chain restaurants give this one a try I bet you wont be disappointed. MAIN COURSE IS GREAT SIDES ARE GREAT AND THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY!! I will defiantly eat here next time I'm in town!

What a great place. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. We had no wait at all, the service was extremely helpful.

It aint no City Barbecue.
The food is ok, especially if you need a barbecue fix in the dead of winter....other times I'd rather just cook it at home.
The ribs are decent....can't remember if I've had the chicken or not.

My two biggest gripes about this place are the side dishes, and the slow wait times.

Most of the side dishes I've had here didn't have much going for them....bland, nothing special.

Most times I've gone here, rather it be busy or not, I've had more of a wait for my food than I would have liked for a place like this.  City Barbecue (various locations) crank the food out pretty quickly compared to Rudys.  Maybe these are some reasons their parking lot never seems to be very crowded?
