Don’t know what made us look at the menu this time (vegetarian) but I’m so glad we did. The Burnt ends cauliflower sandwich was AMAZING!! And the waffle fries were cooked to perfection! Will def be getting that again! Highly recommend!

First time here at Ray Rays BBQ. I had the Jerk Chicken sandwich. Hands down the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I was so excited I forgot to take a picture. Waffle fries were great and the staff were super friendly.

Was literally "sweat" like a pig. I wanted to try the best thing that Columbus has to offer and Ray Ray delivered. Big combo with juicy bbq ribs, amazing jerk chickens, flavorful hot links, tender and juicy brisket, everthing was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

This RayRays is a food truck with covered picnic table seating. The ribs and mac n cheese were great. The service was friendly and quick. We ate at the picnic tables. You can get drinks from the brewery across the parking lot and there is a big screen TV outside that was showing a European soccer match. I will say that we walked three blocks from COSI and the area felt a little sketchy.

Food was so good. Had problem with order bc was so loud in the area due to Crew game. They made it right. Refused to let me pay for item missing from order. 100% will come back. 11/10 quality and service.

We had their food for Thanksgiving this year and it was out of this world. The turkey was amazing and the ham was to die for. We had to swing by and try their BBQ out in the wild and oh boy did they not disappoint.

Ray Ray’s is hands-down the best barbecue in Columbus. The rack of ribs were tender and falling off the bone delicious, no sauce needed the dry rub seasoning was out of this world. #MeatSweatin The links are incredible, just the right amount of spice with a touch of heat. The Brisket is phenomenal, trust me. The chicken is outstanding, moist and full of flavor. The pulled pork was exceptional as well, Smothered it in the sweet barbecue sauce and was in heaven. If you love barbecue and haven’t been here... just go now, you will thank me later.

I had the pleasure of having Ray Rays this past weekend. I live in NYC and have eaten a lot of barbecue! The jerk chicken was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! It was so flavorful and juicy and just purely amazing! Also, the pulled pork is so tender it almost melts in your mouth. Each side and sauce were all incredible but the mustard bbq and mac and cheese were my personal favorites! I will be heading home today dreaming about this restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!!!
