Im giving 3 stars because Im not here to try and hurt the business. Ive worked in the food industry +20 years. The food was certainly tasty enough to eat again, HOWEVER the way I got screwed on my order IS NOT. I got a 4 meat plate and a pound of brisket. What I got was a 4 meat plate and 3/4 lb of fat cap and 1/4 of brisket. Pretty frustrating when you pay $30 for a lb of meat, and they pull something like this. I ordered loose cut....never seen 5 solid inches of fat on a slice of brisket, and I managed Catering for a local BBQ joint for 5 years. It was an order off Door Dash, so maybe they thought they were being slick. I would eat this BBQ again, but only Dine-In where they could never get away with such a scam! The brisket on the 4 meat plate was better, and it tasted nice. The ribs were meaty and tender. The chicken was moist and delicious, and the Jalapeño sausage was great!

Very delicious!!!! This was our first visit and I am a hard BBQ critic. The brisket and sausage were very delicious. We loved the beans. The potato salad, cucumber salad and dirty rice were the top stars- extremely delicious. You must try these sides. The portion size was plenty. The lady in the red hat was so friendly and awesome. She was the perfect employee to greet a first time customer. I will be a repeat customer.

We saw this restaurant on Eat Like a Local. It looked soooo good that we came a couple of hours later. The barbecue was amazing!!! We ordered pork rib plates with sides and a brisket potato, loaded with meat. The potato salad was made with pickles and mustard and was very good. The dirty rice was Cajun with spices and meat. The restaurant is in a strip mall. We found a parking spot right away. It stayed pretty busy the whole time we were there, with a line to the door. I’d have given more points for atmosphere, because the dining space was very clean and the furnishing were what you’d expect for a barbecue restaurant, but the music was so verrrrry loud that it was difficult to hear the cashier and also to converse at the table.

The place here was so good. My boyfriend suggested this place and Rays did not let us down. My mother had an amazing time celebrating for her birthday and LOVED the food. 5 stars for me. Also the server was on point and made sure we were well served thanks. We will be back. 😉 Only suggestion sugar free barbecue sauce would be great for those who do not or can not eat sugar.

Pre-ordered and picked up brisket, sausage, ribs at 11ish on Aug 30th. First the positives - ribs were slamming. The smoke the seasoning all really good. While all of the meats were lightly seasoned you will need to use sauce, but it was fine for me as I like light seasoning - Now the room for improvement - can you make brisket in Texas without a smoke ring and call it BBQ brisket - well apparently yes. Not one brisket slice had a smoke ring of any measure - zero - only sauce can redeem this really bland almost oven roast type meat. The sausage skin had no bite, just soft. It tasted fine but no snap. Poor first time experience here.
