Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q

A little about us...Just north of San Antonio, at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, sits the small community of Leon Springs.

Bar-B-Q was added to the operation in 1989, and Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q has been serving up tasty food ever since. Our pits are 100% wood fired with oak, a slower burning wood than the mesquite used by others. Along with time and oak, we cook with a dry spice that ensures each plate of Rudy's Bar-B-Q is perfectly ready for you. Apply some of our famous " Sause" and dinner is served.

Hi! My name is Michelle Read. I am a certified Sleep Sense Consultant and mother of two grown boys. I can well remember the struggles I had especially with my firstborn. He cried a lot and every time he did, I fed him. It’s a wonder he didn’t pop for being overfed! I also remember standing over the crib holding the pacifier in his mouth, praying that he would just fall back asleep. Those early days were hard and because I was not getting adequate rest, I felt overwhelmed most of the time. But what I have learned over the years is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Your child can learn to sleep well and independently! I am passionate about helping tired Moms, Dads and their babies get better sleep. Join me in the journey!
