They rarely get the order perfect AND it's a long wait but, that greasy addictive chicken is soooooo good.

The Chicken is PACKED with flavor! The fries are PERFECTLY SEASONED! And the Banana Pudding is the BEST in DALLAS!!! I left my card at the drive thru in case any of my fellow Rudy's lovers need any work done! (I asked 1st before leaving it on there)

First time having it i threw up. Can't say for sure it was the chicken. So i attempted a second time but google site did not warn me that they stopped serving drive thru at 4:30. Today a man advised they ran out of chicken. Ill give them grace as the State Fair is happening and price inflation or demand could be low. I take into consideration althat this family owned business is also taking that into consideration. I was advised kindly to return tomorrow and i was offered something complimentary for the inconvenience at my request. The man smiled and it shwed true customer service as it was also close to closing time. Eventhough they ran out of food. I went back to try to offer a small token of my appreciation to the gentleman. There was also an on duty officer to advised people that the store was closing. This shows that the business is taking into consideration of all things as the location is near other shopping places and near a dart and heavy traffic. The outside of the business was clean and I look forward to giving this business an opportunity to see how well the bird really clucks.
